Soon first payout from Hitzmagic.com



I registered to Hitzmagic nine months ago. It has been fairly slow to reach 75 bucks border, but finally it is happening.

Everything is pretty much automatised, so referrals are clicking for me. I would like to thank my referrals and hopefully they have had as good experieces of Hitzmagic like I have had.

Spending +300 EntreCard ecs for advertising campaign.

Ok. Another test.

I bought cheap advertisement space from something like +50 different blogs. Niches: Blogging recources, online marketing, making money online. Average price for ad slot was 2-8 ecs. Campaign should go on next 1-5 days.

I didn't really spent time studying how good investments individual blogs where, my strategy is to create 'shotgun spreaded' visibility for my own blog. Sinces Entrecard ecs are virtual currency, this time I didn't use real money, just my virtual capital on entrecard.com.

I will report results during following days. :)

Testing featuredusers.com banner campaign.

I invested 10 $ quite spontaneously, dunno why, maybe too much time on internet and I thought to recycle 6 $ I got from weblo.com :) .

Anyway... I got 1000 impressions for 10 $ and there is still more than 900 left. So far this test had got me 2 new followers.

If you want to try featuredusers.com, please use my referral link:

http://featuredusers.com/referral/jukhau

Banner ads are shown in several twitter focused sites, most of my ads has been shown in twibes.com, secrettweet.com, friendorfollow.com

Good luck! :)


fyi... 7 more to go and I got my first 100 followers @ twitter. I have fairly passive strategy, so I guess it is ok result so far...

ptcsitesbuzz.blogspot.com - estimated worth $2868.9 USD ?

Net Worth : $2868.9
Daily Pageview : 978
Daily Ads Revenue : $3.93


http://www.websiteoutlook.com/www.ptcsitesbuzz.blogspot.com

It is not really true. :D :D

Daily page views are not even near 1000, I don't know where websiteoutlook.com gets their stats. But of course it would be nice to have a blog with such statistics.

Google ads and PTC blogging = problems.

Google TOS does not allow using AdSense with sites related to PTC. I think it is a shame, but what can you do.

I don't know what to do with this blog, because I need earning model and AdSense is one of best there is. Probably it means end for this blog and I have to start new one, where PTC is totally excluded.

Stay tuned, updates coming via Twitter and this blog.

Taketheglobe.com and suspicious digg activity.

I stumbled for this digg item:

http://digg.com/business_finance/TakeTheGlobe_com_under_heavy_DDOS_attack_Please_read

Look profiles of people commenting and dugging this digg item. Most of them have just 1 or 2 dugged item and guess what, it is the item concerning taketheglobe.com and September 2008 DOS attack.

So... either profiles are TTGs sock puppets or they are somehow redirected for digging just this one specific digg item. Hard to tell, what it actually is, but it looks suspicious.

Scam search.

So you find a new earning site, but you are not sure if it's scam or not?

I have answer for your problem. There is now search engine on our blog for searching PTC and other earning site scams. It goes thru certain online money related forums for finding possible scam suspects. Idea of the engine is to help finding scams, because searching scams through regular google results is time consuming and hopeless.

Test it and give feedback. Suggest new sites, forums to be added.


Current list of sites included to the search engine:

http://ptctalk.com/forums/
http://www.onlinemoneyforum.net/viewforum.php?f=6
http://www.scam.com/
http://www.squidoo.com/ptc-scam-list
http://www.scams.da.ru/
http://www.scambusters.org/

and this blog:

http://ptcsitesbuzz.blogspot.com/

Don't hesitate to suggest new site for improving our search engine. Just suggest links on comment box.

Remember to give your visitors a change for networking.




Let's imagine that you got sudden visitor on your website. A visitor likes your website. So what happens next? Bookmarking your favourite website is really old fashioned way to go.

Probably visitor is looking for possibility to subscribe for feeds and do networking with you, specially if you're both blogging on same niche.

You need to offer this opportunity for networking. It should be available on your website without any extra scrolling or clicking subpages. Best place for offering networking is upper left or right corner on your blog.

I started to use entrecard.com (thanks to kidtechguru for the tip). With Entrecard service, I have already stumbled on interesting blogs, which unfortunately don't offer possibility for networking, I think it is a shame.

Do you think there is missing something important from my website? Please comment and I will check it out.

MyLot - ripoff, hot stuff or what?



I found 2 years old blog post regarding mylot.com. Opening post gives really harsh critic regarding mylot.com website.This thread had created loads of comments and latest one are from November 2008.


My quick summary about mylot.com, after reading nearly all comments:

MyLot actually pays for active users, for most appx. 2-15 $ per month, depending how long you have been there and how active you are, maybe even more for really Pro-users.

MyLot is also good for networking (driving traffic to your blog etc.), if you don't want to spend time commenting blog posts etc. Warning: don't start to bitch about payments, it is guarranteed method to get your account closed.

While compared to clicking ads (zzz.... :D ) on PTC sites, MyLot is probably good entertaintment and if you are doing online biz and you don't want to invest too much money, MyLot can be good choice.

I hope this information was useful for you. Please stay tuned by networking with me, check links on left navigation bar and subscribe for RSS feed.

Donkey Mails

I signed there today, to minimum payout, loads of daily ads. Site has lot of different possibilities for making money online, playing online games etc..

I really warmly recommend this site, is has also possibility for create good referral network.

DonkeyMails.com: No Minimum Payout

p2cdaily.com - account suspended?

http://dallas.ckcwh.net/suspended.page/?r=jukkish

??? :D

Well, I probably didn't have there much earnings, but it is interesting how ptc -site can suspend account without any warnings. I don't have any clue why my account was suspended, because of my blog articles? WTF?


EDIT: ok. http://p2cdaily.blogspot.com/, the problem is on the site, not my account.

Catchy headlines create loads of diggs, but we allways end up with same problem.

Do you check link before digging it? Or how you make your decision about digging something?

My strong guess is that most diggers make decision by the headline, if it is catchy, you will digg it.

My strong opinion, there is nowadays too many "top x sites regarding subject y" and other listings. Don't digg them, unless they are really offering something NEW.

Is bux.to a scam site?

February 2008, Strong NO.

No (april 2008?)

June 2008, yes, yes!!!

31.10.2008 Strong YES. Check specially this last link, because it summarises quite well whole bux.to history.

So... Bux.to is still running and probably some members are getting their payment proofs, but my own advice is not to invest any new money on the site. Discuss + most recent news.

419 Legal - Internet Fraud and Online Scam Forum and WaoIndia

www.419legal.org/ looks quite cool. I stumbled into it, while searching information about waoIndia.

WaoIndia is PTC site paying high ratio (0.10$) per click. The trick is that they have really high payout, it is $ 199.00. So you have to prepare to spend some time with the site, for getting your first payout.

Highest Pay Surveys and cash payments.

According to puzzle.com study, Highest Pay Surveys doesn't have cash payments, so it sounds like bogus.

Ok, I did some extra research and it actually seems this isn't even NEWS, there was similar post about same site from year 2005. Btw. dslreports.com has really juicy scambusters forum.

This post is related to previous post about hitZmagic.com, because Highest Pay Surveys is one of the websites they have on their PTC program. Should we start countdown for my account to be suspended there? ;)

PTC 101.

PTC (= paid to click) sites are companies that pay you for viewing websites. They get paid for showing the pages for their members. So these sites often pay almost 100% of that money to it's members.

Is PTC same as pyramid scheme?
Yes and no, but usually early birds makes best earnings. Key thing is to be active clicker and get lot of referrals for your PTC program.

Are there PTC -sites to be avoided?
Yes, check this blog for more info.

For getting most out of PTCs websites, I recommend to open AlertPay account. Use website like getref.com for earning referrals to your PTC programs

PTC black list - scams, frauds etc.
