How PTC work?

How PTC work?

Paid-To-Click (PTC) site would provide a small program, commonly called a "viewbar" into their website. Advertisers' banner ads were then displayed while the member was browsing the web. Since the viewbar tracked websites that the user visited, the Paid-To-Click site was able to deliver targeted ads for their advertisers. Advertisers paid the Paid-To-Click owner/company a small amount for every seconds of a member's surfing. Members would be paid to surf the Advertisers Ads for 20 to 30 seconds. In addition to this, Paid-To-Surf companies also pay their members for each new user referred to the company. Thus, it is profitable for a member to garner as many referrals as possible.

Some PTCs might provide different rate for each ad, so you may need to check out their policy. The following some issues you need to check before joining the PTC:

1. Payment method
Some of them offer payment by check, paypal, e-gold or other payment methods avalable on the net

2. Minimum Payout
The higher the minimum payout, the longer your payment will be hold in their account

3. Rate per Click
How much money they offer for viewing the ad. It can be varied from 1 cent to a dollar

4. Other Available Offer
Some PTC offer auto surf along with their paid email or paid ads and also paid to sign up.


PTCs gain members by offering them compensation for every click they make, either through points, cash, free ads etc.

The would-be advertisers then buy those clicks in the form of advertisement. The advertisers are very much aware of the fact that the site pays its members to click their ads.

Since both parties, the clickers and the advertisers are well aware of their roles, where is the scam part?

There are a few advertisers who would end up paying these clickers. In short, the number of clickers clearly outnumber the advertisers. In order to give its members their compensation, PTCs need to come up with a source of funding other than from the real advertisers.

Briefly...
1. Gold, premium, or upgraded membership - the members will pay the PTCs a certain amount so that each of their click will be earning higher than usual and gain other, if any, benefits.

2. Selling unreferred of self-referred members to other members - PTCs pay for referral clicks.

I listed just two for they are the most obvious

PTCs continue to advertise on how much more they will pay its members by upgrading and by buying more referrals. In this way, PTCs gain funds from its members, and from these funds, they pay the other members.

The cycle will continue wherein members will be investing through upgrading and buying referrals.

For a time everything will be okay, until the PTCs dry out all the possible members or until the rate of payment to members exceeds the rate of investment.

and when that time comes, the owner runs away with the remaining money...


EARNING POTENTIAL:
$200.00 per day or more!!!

Brief Explanation of Earning Potential:
Let's say you have 20 PTC programs
then those 20 PTC programs has an average of
5-10 advertisements for you to view per day.
And most PTC will pay you
$0.01 per view
that is:
20 PTC programs x 5 ads = 100 ads
then:
100 ads x $0.01 = $1.00/day (your earning from your personal click)

CHEAP! right? Well I say NO..
You get that for FREE remember??
And that's a guaranteed extra income for you!

Where is the $200.00 per day?
In PTC, there is a so called referral system.
Wherein, most PTC gives you 100% of your referral earnings?
sounds confusing? Let's put it this way.

Let's say you have 10 referrals for each PTC.
20 PTC x 10 referrals = 200 referrals

200 referrals, also clicks ads like you.
They also click 100 ads and earn $1.00/day
As their referrer/upline, you earn 100% (in most PTC) of their total earnings.

NOW, how much are your potential earnings?
200 referrals x $1.00 = $200.00/day
