About PTC

How PTC Sites work

PTC Sites are NOT a Autosurf, Multi-Level Marketing, Pyramid, Ponzi, Matrix or "Get Rich Quick" scheme.

PTC Sites are a new innovative and international service that allows advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ad on our, "Surf Ads" page. A exact calculated percentage of all advertising revenue is paid to our members. PTC Sites are make money via advertising, other advertising sources throughout the website as well as earning through direct sponsorship of other PTC Sites members, just like a regular member does.


How you make money

You view websites in 30 second sessions via the "Surf Ads" page. Once the 30 seconds is up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. The green tick sign means you've earned $0.01 and as premium member $0.0125 for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "Surf Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit.

A valuable benefit to both the members and the advertisers is the repeat exposure that the advertiser gets. Whenever you click and view a website, you can visit that website again in 24 hours as long as the visit cap hasn't been reached. That's right! After 24 hours you can click and view the website again. This gives the advertiser optimal exposure by using "repeat advertising" and it further increases the members earning potential.

Earnings example (based on current averages)
» You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
» 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2.00
» Your daily earnings = $2.10
» Your weekly earnings = $14.70
» Your monthly earnings = $63.00

» You join 30 sites your monthly earnings = $1890.00

» You can earn more and more by referring others and join more sites

General Information
Bellow you can get to know all about Paid To Click websites.

What is PTC?
PTC stands for 'Paid To Click' and it's a term used to designate websites that pay you for viewing advertisements online.
Registration
Registration at PTC websites are 100% free. All you need is an email address.
Earnings
Value per advertisement widely range from hundreds of a cent ($0.0001) to a couple of cents ($0.05). Depends on the website.

Earnings are highly increased through affiliation programs which pay you a commission-based income from cash your referrals make for themselves.

Good ad values range between a tenth of a cent (0.1c) to one cent ($0.01).
Referrals
When you invite someone to sign up to a website they will become your refferal once they register. Refferals will earn you cash each time they view an ad.

To invite someone to be your referral provide them with your referral link which can be found in the member area of a PTC, and has a similar format to: http://www.ptcwebsite.com/id=yournickname.

Referrals can also be bought on most PTC websites.
How To
After register at a PTC, navigate to the ad section and select a descriptive link to an ad. You are taken to a new webpage with the advertisement and small timer. View the advertisement until the timer runs out to receive credit.

Once you have earned enough cash to request a payment, you can do so by navigating to the payment/cash out section and filling in the request form. Minimum amounts of cash earned before requesting a payment commonly range between $1 to $10.
Payment Requests
To get paid you need to have a free account at a Payment Processor website to where your money will be sent - view 'Payment Processors'.

From there you may transfer your funds to your regular bank account for a very small fee, or use them for online shopping.
Payment Processors
Payment Processors are virtual online banks. They allow you to have a virtual online bank account from where you can send and receive money from, pay for services and shop online, just like you would with any regular bank account.

Although free to join some transactions carry a low fee and registration in restricted to age and country, so check out their specifications before using them.

Common Payment Processors used by PTC websites





Why join Genuine PTCs?
New PTCs are turning into High Risk Investments businesses where you will not get paid unless you invest money into the PTC. But there is no telling who these new PTC owners are. As happened too many times before PTCs open, gather money from member investments (membership upgrades and referral packs) and then close down keeping all the investments.

Along with this blunt stealing, they are also selling fake referrals which they include in the bought referral packs - bots - that click as your human referral would, but the thing about bots is that they are not real people thus they do not look at the ads so the advertisers are not actually getting any real views of their ads and are starting not to advertising their ads on these scam PTC websites.
Scam PTCs
These websites show self-sponsored ads with high ad values, have high referral commissions and lots of daily ads, compared to other PTC's, only to gather funds received from referral purchases and memberships upgrades, and close down without making payments.
Unsustainable Websites [Ponzi Schemes]
Some PTC websites offer you 100% referral commissions, 1 cent ads, and allot of daily ads to click (twenty to thirty, and more).

Other websites offer less amount of daily ads, less referral percentage commission and pay less per ad view; about a quarter of a cent, and half a cent, and rarely 1c per ad.

So why is there this difference?

The PTC business model has ad values set at a medium price per click in order to make the PTC a working business, where advertisers pay a reasonable price to show their ads, the PTC website makes enough money to pay for the website's maintenance (hosting, domain, website script security, etc) and the users get paid a fair value for their clicks.

PTC websites that offer 100% referral commission, 1 cent ads and twenty to thirty daily ads are not following this business model and will eventually be forced to close down without making payments or will start paying you with money received from other members' investments (membership upgrades and referral packs).

Although these PTC websites are a great way to earn money, in the long run they are not better than other real websites that pay less money per ad view because they will most likely not pay you after a few weeks or months due to lack of funds; no real advertisers, members stopped investing. These sites are called
