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:

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

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? ;)

Max-PTC is a scam site.

According to ptctalk.com forums, it seems that MAX-PTC is a scam site.

thecodeis writes:

"Yes the Max-PTC admin is a know SCAMMER. He goes by the name of RONNIE. Hes previous scams are BUX3.COM, BUX3.NET, WORLD-BUX.COM, EXTREME-ADS.NET AND latest MAX-PTC

He advertised to his scam site with 3 cents per click and 2 cents per ref click. He got around 10,000 member in weeks. Now he changed the rates to 2 cent per click and 1.5 per ref click. He has modified his Scamming TOS to 1.5 cent per click and 1 cent per click after getting 50,000 registered members .

His new way of scamming is to ask members to get monthly upgrade instead of Yearly. Max-PTCs design is a copy of Extreme-Ads.net. He is scamming again again and again.."

PTC Hotties, trusted, zombies, suspects, scams.

So, check left navigation bar for ratings of PTC sites. Lists are updated daily, weekly. Hopefully it helps you to choose best PTC sites and best payouts. :)

I will add here later my own TOP 10 list, but right now best and hottest sites can be found from top of left navigation bar, marked as HOT.

Hottest sites right now:

neobux.com

sandraclicks.com

buxout.com


Please comment lists, if you feel that certain PTC site is ranked falsely.

For PTC newbies, avoiding most obvious traps and zero payouts.

You can find loads of PTC blogs etc., which are recommending well paying PTC sites for you. You should understand that these recommend lists aren't necessarily up-to-date, what was hot PTC site six months ago, could be currently on it's way to be virtual ghost PTC.

How to recognize potential scam?

Here are some things for check-list:

- just few ads to click and most of them are just linking to other PTC affiliates
- pay per click for free member is more than 0.01
- design looks cheap or it is direct bulk "bux" copy
- is website running on free host or own domain?
- if TOS is suspicious or it doesn't even exist
- suspicious earning logic, do your math
- use http://www.whois.net/ for googling domain owner
- bought referrals are bots


Check some of other websites for more tips: getpaid-ptr.info and ptctalk.com, pctalk.com forum's guide - how to spot the bad new site and so on...

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
