How to choose a good Paid to Click site? In this article I'm going to explain basic instructions to follow before signup with characteristics of a trustworthy PTC site. If you are not sure about a PTC site at all or even if you think you can trust it, it's always good to do a little research by yourself before you decide to sign up. Even you are a registered user and have invested some money, doing a little research will give you the confidence to keep going or you can take precautions to avoid more harm. Read this article carefully to understand how to choose a good paid to click site.
Provide their contact details
- Users must have a way to contact them.
Having a forum
- Users must be allowed to speak for themselves. Share their experience with other users.
Accept major payment methods (PayPal/Payza/NETELLER)
- There must be a secure way to cashout. PayPal, Payza and NETELLER are the most acknowledged services that allows you to do online transactions.
Having an acceptable 1st cashout limit
- It's a bit debatable fact.
For a established PTC site I agree with the 1st cashout not greater than US $8.00. In the other hand for a NEW PTC site the 1st cashout limit should not exceed $2.00 limit. The reason I'm saying it because you should not invest any amount of money on a strange and new PTC site. So the only way for you to earn money is by clicking ads, doing jobs and completing tasks. It will take a longer time even to cashout just doing it. So you shouldn't go for a site with a 1st cashout limit greater than US $2.00.
Not paying more than $0.02 for a 1 click made by you or your referral
- Seriously...? Yes and here is the fact:
Major Issue: Cashout rejections, forum disable, website down, inactivity of administration or any other suspicious behaviour
Changes: Website facility reduction, increase of cacheout limit or any other user uncomfortable changes
Use a whois service to look up domain owner information and statistics. domaintools whois is a great service to do this.
If you see a higher number of complains with acceptable facts, you may need to avoid that site.
As I explained above do some research. Read as much as possible. But keep in mind none, I mean NONE of PTC sites are guaranteed stay clean forever. A Group A well established site can turn into a scammy one over a night. So don't stake your life on them.
Must have characteristics to be a good Paid to Click site
In my opinion any PTC site must have fulfilled following requirements to be a legit one.Provide their contact details
- Users must have a way to contact them.
Having a forum
- Users must be allowed to speak for themselves. Share their experience with other users.
Accept major payment methods (PayPal/Payza/NETELLER)
- There must be a secure way to cashout. PayPal, Payza and NETELLER are the most acknowledged services that allows you to do online transactions.
Having an acceptable 1st cashout limit
- It's a bit debatable fact.
For a established PTC site I agree with the 1st cashout not greater than US $8.00. In the other hand for a NEW PTC site the 1st cashout limit should not exceed $2.00 limit.

It will take a longer time even to cashout just doing it. So you shouldn't go for a site with a 1st cashout limit greater than US $2.00.
Not paying more than $0.02 for a 1 click made by you or your referral
- Seriously...? Yes and here is the fact:
Checkout this example
A new PTC site pays you $0.03 per Extended Exposure click and 50% for a referral click. So when you click on that advertisement, they have to pay you $0.03 and $0.015 to your referrer. To cover that (without any profit) they have to sell that Extended Exposure ad for the minimum price of $0.045 per click.
Here comes the good part: You can advertise an Extended Exposure ad on a well established PTC site like NeoBux for the maximum price of $0.04 per click.
New site = Unstable users
So if you are an advertiser which site you would have chosen? No one is going to choose the new one. Without advertisements they can't keep up the $0.03 per click promise.
How to Choose a Good Paid To Click Site
I categorize PTC sites into 5 groups: Group A, Group B, Group C, Group D and Group E.Group A
A PTC site which is up and running more than three years consistently without any kind of major issues or changes under same management, I consider that site as a trustworthy one. If a site can maintain that long without any issue, it's quite something in this industry. It means that site is stable. These sites go to Group A.Major Issue: Cashout rejections, forum disable, website down, inactivity of administration or any other suspicious behaviour
Changes: Website facility reduction, increase of cacheout limit or any other user uncomfortable changes
Group B
This group includes,- PTC sites which are up and running more than one year consistently without any kind of major issues or changes under same management
- PTC sites previously categorized as Group A but the management changed yet continue to provide the same service without any kind of major issues or changes for more than 3 months. Even successful one year in this industry is a challenge.
Group C
This group includes,- New PTC sites which are up and running more than 3 months consistently without any kind of major issues or changes under same management and have basic characteristics of a Paid to Click site.
- PTC sites previously categorized as Group B but the management changed yet continue to provide the same service without any kind of major issues or changes for more than 3 months
Group D
New PTC sites aged less than two months. They are yet to grow.Group E
This group includes,- Any PTC site disqualified to categorize under previous groups.
- A site which is not categorized under Group A or B AND owned by a person/company with a bad PTC site history (owner of an abandoned scam site)
- A site adjoined with scam or suspicious site or network
I recommend you to use Group A and Group B sites. You can try Group C sites but not to invest your hard earned money. Also you can try Group D sites too- if you like but never to invest. And finally I advise you to avoid Group E sites at all cost.
How to investigate your PTC site
Follow these instructions to do a little research about your PTC site. You can research previously mentioned facts using these methods.Check domain info
Use a whois service to look up domain owner information and statistics. domaintools whois is a great service to do this.
- Check the registered and updated dates of the domain name. Longer the better. But remember, you can't assume a particular website was up on the same day it was registered.
- Specially check the Expiry date. It's really important because it indicates the stability of the company. If the domain is set to expire after 1 or 2 years of registration, it's suspicious. Either the company is not intend to keep their service up or they do not have the financial strength even to pay their domain bill. Remember anyone can build a website for $50.
- Check contact info and history. If the owner has been changed recently you might want to give it a little more time. If the history is been removed by request, it's kinda suspicious. It means they have something to hide.
- Check Traffic/Rank Info. A PTC site with fair amount of users must have a greater traffic rank. Because that's what they do. They direct traffic to other websites. Even a very new PTC site established a two months ago must have an Alexa traffic rank less than 50, 000.
Read forum/FAQ/Policies
Go to that particular website and access to their forum. Search forums for problems, issues or similar. If is is not allowed to search their forum use google. Search something similar to;
not paying site:mybuxsite.com/forum/
Replace mybuxsite.com with your site's address.
Search for scam
Yes, Google it. Use words like scam, fraud, not paying, payment rejected following your PTC site name.Ex: mybuxsite scam, mybuxsite fraud etc...
If you see a higher number of complains with acceptable facts, you may need to avoid that site.
Search for payment proof
Again Google for payment proofs. Better to ignore results from the same site. Try to find out payment proofs from outside of the website. To search ignoring results from the same website type,mybuxsite payment proof -site:mybuxsite.com
WARNING: When you search for a site for scam or payment proofs be really careful. There are many sites using these keywords to lure people into their websites. Here are some of their title examples; Is MyBuxSite Scam?, MyBuxSite Scam, MyBuxSite Scam or Not and their urls are look like mybuxsitescam.com
Most of the time these sites just give some proofs and say, 'MyBuxSIte is really good!' and give you their referral link. Or some of them do some serious accusations and give you their referral link to another site. You need to be very careful from them. The only purpose of these websites from the first scratch is to direct traffic to their referral links. Stay away from them. Look for honest personal experiences with actual proofs.
If someone says too much good about a PTC site- don't trust it. There is no perfect site in this industry.
