Is Paid to Click a Scam?
Are Those Paid to Click Websites Out to Scam You?
Looking at the paid to click websites or should I say businesses, they all seem very much the same, you sign up, you click four or five adverts, you make five cents and then you read on into the program a little more.
Once you have read on you will find that a premium investment would be of benefit to you if you wish to make more money. For the many paid to click websites this would mean you are paying for your adverts to be displayed on the PTC website, and thus clicked by the other website members. Generating you traffic to your own website. Hardly the best traffic you could get to your site as everybody seems to be doing the same thing... clicking on adverts for a penny!
It does not take a genius to work out that 5 adverts clicked every few hours will not be making you high levels of cash, but if you grab yourself some renters, which are basically affiliates, these affiliates then might make a few cents more for your pocket.
You may also find that many of these advert you click are also financially motivated, in which the adverts bring to light great investment opportunities.
Having said that the paid to click websites are certainly not scamming, well the better known sites (which I will not mention so not to suck anyone in) are certainly not scamming you, they are just a little, well a lot 'not very forward' with initial information on how it all works.
There are some very bogus PTC websites out in cyberland, just taking a look at the many spelling mistakes on a front page and the truly unprofessional design can give that away. Also you might find some paid to click websites bragging about how much money they have paid out on their homepage, '$5000 total paid out this year!' boasted on one site is hardly the mega bucks you imagined making on PTC.
Making your fortune on the internet is certainly not an overnight express service where you find the money heaped up in pile in the bank vault for you. No, it takes many months of dedication and researching various niches and setting up your online business. PTC can probably make you money after many months even years of dedication, almost certainly if you are the proud owner of a PTC site.
The verdict is that paid to click sites will make you a little pocket money a few dollars at most for many months of work, investing money into them is what the PTC owners rather you did. It is not a scam per say, but be careful as there are scammers out there.
Do plenty of research, read what others have to say about the programs and even do a company search on the PTC site. The Yahoo! Search Engine has a lot of information on PTC - Good luck!

Post a CommentSigned up for Neobux.com Cannot stop laughing , I got ONE one thousandth of a cent . 0.001 IF my math is correct. Yes you heard me. SO it would take me ONE HOUR to make one CENT ! i CANNOT believe people waste their lives like this .
Unfortunately these long pay out periods are tactics of these sites to encourage people to continue clicking, i have tried these sites for about a year now hoping to earn some cash, but sadly no income or whatsoever positive profit gaining from these. For all you know some people who replied positively about how great the said site is.. or that they profited a lot from these clicking sites are the promulgators or promoters of these paid to click sites. They profit for there own gain at the expense of deceiving/ fooling people out of their time. Paid to click are scams.
Get a better alternative way to earn money, dont be a victim of these fraud/ scam clicking sites.
The ones that do pay are not worth the time, 5 hours work, for a dollar!
not all ptc sites are scamming people there are many legit out there paying ALL their members!
