Following the failure of clicks4cents.com (<a href="http://www.ptc-investigation.com/clicks4cents.aspx">see here</a>) we are now trialling <a href="http://www.incentria.com/ptc_ads.php?ref=ptcpaidtosurf">incentria.com</a>. Whilst generally accepted as a good, paying ptc site we are (as always!) going to delve into the actual figures. <a href="http://www.incentria.com/ptc_ads.php?ref=ptcpaidtosurf">Incentria.com</a> is part of the North Owl group of sites which also runs the ptc site <a href="http://www.clicksia.com/">clicksia.com</a> and the <a href="http://www.emoneyspace.com/">emoneyspace.com</a> forum and community.<br />
<br />
We are going to begin by looking at the paid-to-view advertising element of this site. The minimum payout is advertised to be $1.00 with earnings up to $0.02 per ad viewed. As always with these kind of websites, you will only see an ad at the max rate maybe once every 10 years! Analysing the numbers from the first few days of using this site we expect our first dollar to take the following: <br />
<br />
<table align="center" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">Views to $1</td>
<td align="center">929</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">Viewing time to $1</td>
<td align="center">2 hours 46 minutes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">Weeks to $1</td>
<td align="center">10 weeks</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<caption align="bottom"><i>Current earning rates for $1</i></caption>
</table>
<br />
This is a poor rate of return for the time invested but is better than a number of ad viewing sites we have used. We will return to these earning rates again in a future post as we explore the site further.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223891399892912378.post-56305221421376783462012-10-22T06:36:00.001+01:002012-10-22T06:36:47.538+01:00Superpoints Super Bonus Code<a href="http://superpoints.com/refer/PaidToWebSurf">Superpoints</a> is one of the site we continue to use on a daily basis and to appologise for the lack of posts recently here's a Super Super Points Code worth $0.50 (plus you get an additional $0.25 for completing your basic info).<br />

<p>But there are 2 ways of collecting points without spending a penny!  All you nave to do is go to the Nectar website, join their loyalty card system and then do one or both of the following.</p>
<p>The first is to download the Nectar toolbar for your operating system.  On Chrome, which is what I use, this appears as a tiny button in the top corner.  When you are online and need to do a search, click the Nectar button and search through that.</p>
<p>The other way is to download their application, for iPhone and Android, and search through that.</p>
<p>In both cases 2 searches is equal to 1 point. You can collect a maximum of 100 points using the toolbar and 50 using the application each month. 150 points equates to £0.75. Not much but an easy way to add a stream to your river!</p>
<p>There are also loads of free offers and give aways open to Nectar uses, so that £9 per year of free cash can very easily be the gateway to much more.</p>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">We have been continuing to
explore PTC sites at paidtowebsurf.com and the good news is that we have
another site that has paid out. That site is <a href="http://www.clicks4cents.com/index.php?ref=PaidToWebSurf" target="_blank">clicks4cents.com</a> and the payment
proof is at the bottom of this article. We gave some positive initial thoughts
on this particular site in a previous post (<a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/2012/03/clicks-4-cents-initial-thoughts.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">see here</span></a>). In general,
that positive opinion has remained. Below we give brief bullet point lists of
our closing remarks about this site.</span></div>

we got there in 12 weeks. That is a lot quicker than other sites that can
take years before you can withdraw (<a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/2012/03/ptc68-initial-thoughts.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">see here</span></a>). </span></li>

we earned only $0.0012 per click on average. Very rarely did we have any
of the advertised $0.005 ads. Other sites can double that rate (<a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/2012/03/ptc68-initial-thoughts.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">see here</span></a>), but those
sites tend to have much higher minimum pay-out levels.</span></li>

with money you have earned on the site. Sites like Neobux allow you to
rent referrals using your account earnings (see our <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/ptc-experiment.html" target="_blank">PTC experiment page</a>.). To rent 10 referrals
costs $1.50 at the time of writing; and you have to put your own money in
to get them. It would take 4 months to recoup that loss if your rented referrals
do not perform well.</span></li>
</ul>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 12.0pt; margin-right: 12.0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Overall this is a good ptc site.
We put a few minutes of our time each day into the site and got paid after a
few weeks. We <i>trust</i> the site and will continue to use it. Our hope is
that as it grows it will implement some of the Neobux-esque rental option which
will up the rate of earning and add that element of strategy that we enjoy about Neobux.

I know because I test them and report on them. Some stay and others disappear.<br />
<br />
Of course there are different reasons for sites "going bump", sometimes it is because they are scam sites and other times it is bad management, planning or economics that has let them down.<br />
<br />
"BuxAdNet" - an advertising site for Bux sites (PTC sites) had really bad management. The owner never made any money but neither did the people who helped keep the site active. Ultimately the site died - in fact don't bother looking for it because it has gone, alone with the sister PTCRankings.<br />
<br />
Other sites you can look at and think "no, thanks" because they look too good to be true (in which case they usually are) or don't have the experience. Ragabux and IconBux fit that mould for me. I'm not saying they are scam sites, I'm just saying I don't trust them and because this is my site they make it on to the untrustworthy sites list.<br />
<br />

<br />

Well I've been less than enthusiastic about this money earning opportunity in the past, but credit should be given where it is due. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, they pay! They pay when they say they are going to and at the amount they say they are going to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Secondly, they have recently been taken over by a larger company and are on a good footing -so they are legit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, the earning rate is very slow for a survey earning site (well in this case a mobile survey app). The surveys themselves pay well. I only had to complete 2 surveys at 5/10 minutes each to earn $5.00, you might only get one survey per month coming through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There are emails to inform you when surveys are available, so I would say you can happily download this app and pretty much forget about it, whilst you concentrate on quicker money making opportunities and just use this one every now and again (when the emails come through) as a pleasant surprise.</div>

The people there were great but unfortunately the admin didn't see the long-term picture and instead of sticking with the project decided to close it down. This is a shame because there was the potential for something great.<br />

The one you'll see on most is <a href="http://www.emoneyspace.com/forum/" target="_blank">eMoneySpace</a>, so feel free to contact me there if you choose to use it.

Today I'm going guide you through a few of the terms that often used on blogs and websites like this, and how you can profit from using them.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><br />
<b><u>Links</u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Links" are ways of getting from one website to another through a simple mouse click (or from one part of a website to another part). But why would you want to link to somebody else's site? The answer is simply because you might be able to profit from send people their. Some sites will pay you for sending traffic their way, others for people performing actions once there (like buying something). People know that you are the one who has sent the traffic to their site because you would have used an "affiliate link".
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Affiliates</u></b><br />
Affiliate links are links that contain a unique id for you (or your site). When someone clicks on a link of this type you will be associated with that person and their actions. Some sites will put information in cookies to make sure that even if they don't do anything for a few days the "affiliate" will get the benefit. And the benefit of being an affiliate is usually money.<br />
<br />
Some sites run their own affiliate programme and others outsource this work to companies like Commission Junction.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Banners</u></b><br />
One of the best places to have your affiliate links are inside banners (like the one below). Banners can come in many shapes and sizes and are usually made available in a variety of designs, so you should pick the one that best fits your blog or website.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=PaidToWebSurf"><img height="60" src="http://images.neobux.com/imagens/banner9/?u=PaidToWebSurf&u3=9741716" width="468" /></a></div>
</div>
<br />
Banners are also very useful thinks to place inside your signatures for any relevant forums. This also means the more you blog the better more you affiliate link will to available for others to click on.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Referrals</u></b><br />
Referrals are the people you have sent to a site and have signed up to that site. The vast majority of referrals are automatically associated with you because they have used your affiliate link. Sometimes you get a one-time payment from a referral signing up to a site, other times this person is associated with you for a duration of time (or indefinitely) and you get paid more the more they do on a site (this is how Paid to Click sites usually work).<br />
<br />
So my advice to you is to use affiliate links and banners when are where you can to get referrals and earn passive income.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223891399892912378.post-13354153379199494782012-04-03T21:21:00.000+01:002012-04-30T13:47:02.955+01:00ForumsWhen you first start to earn money online you can spend a lot of time searching the web for information on which sites are the most trustworthy and where to be spending your time for a good return. One of the best resources for finding information is on forums.<br />
<br />
Forums are large repositories of information, from people posting about their experiences to debate the merits of different sites. Furthermore, forums are great for asking your own questions and getting quick answers.<br />
<br />
I've used a few forums and each forum can be useful in it's own way, but one forum I'm very active on is <a href="http://forums.thetruthaboutonlinemoneymaking.com/" target="_blank">The Truth About Online Money Making</a>. <a href="http://forums.thetruthaboutonlinemoneymaking.com/" target="_blank">This forum</a> is still new (which appealed to me because I'm still new) but is run by some very knowledgable people. I found I could post questions there and get honest answers quickly. The people on <a href="http://forums.thetruthaboutonlinemoneymaking.com/" target="_blank">this forum</a> are friendly and helpful. Even for someone like me I find new ways of earning online everyday.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://forums.thetruthaboutonlinemoneymaking.com/" target="_blank">The Truth About Online Money Making</a> has different sections for whether you are looking to ask questions, find information, read blogs, share links or just fancy a fun chat.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions for me you can head over to <a href="http://forums.thetruthaboutonlinemoneymaking.com/" target="_blank">The Truth About Online Money Making</a> and post there.<br />

This is a very quick step (less than 2 minutes) and means that you will automatically upgrade your "level" once you hit some pretty easy to hit targets - note here, </span><strong style="color: #615741;">that you will never have to put a penny into </strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #615741; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><a href="http://superpoints.com/refer/PaidToWebSurf" target="_blank"><b>Superpoints</b></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><strong style="color: #615741;"> - even the upgrades are free!</strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #615741;"> Once you've completed your profile you can checkout the numerous offers (which include sign-ups, videos, surveys, etc) and most importantly you can play the Superlucky Button.</span></span><br />

The button decides whether you have won points or not. The win ratio is 8% - this is huge, with an average of 3 points per win you get 7.2 points per day.</span><br /><br /><strong style="color: #615741;"><u>What are Points Worth?</u></strong><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #615741;">Points can be redeemed for anything from vouchers, iPods, MacBooks and even </span><strong style="color: #615741;">cold hard cash</strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #615741;">. Each point can be converted on a 1:1 ratio for cents. That's right... this site will pay you 7.2 cents per day for clicking a button! That's better than any legit PTC site I know of.

This post provides a quick review of the site <a href="http://www.ptc68.com/index.php?ref=PaidToWebSurf">ptc68.com</a> which we have been testing. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Website</b></u><br />
<br />
The website itself is good. Easy to navigate, nicely designed and responsive. Account statistics have a good level of detail to learn about how much you have earned and where referrals have come from. <br />
<br />
We do like to know how active the forums are. Forums can be a good gauge of how active the site members are. However, there is no actual forum on the site itself. You are directed to a more general forum which discusses all kinds of PTC sites but not much of the discussion is about ptc68.com itself. This is a slight concern.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Earning Area</b></u><br />
<br />
We have had a steady stream of ads usually receiving 4 standard ads and 2-3 micro ads each day. Standard ads last for 30 seconds earning $0.005. Micro ads last for 3 seconds earning $0.0005. At the time of writing we have earn $0.7745 from viewing 296 ads. This works out at roughly $0.0026 an ad, double the rate of <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/2012/03/clicks-4-cents-initial-thoughts.html">clicks4cents.com</a> (see <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/2012/03/clicks-4-cents-initial-thoughts.html">here</a>), and is a quite a good rate for a PTC site.<br />
<br />
The main draw back is that the minimum payout level for this site is $10, quite high compared to other PTC sites we have used so far. To hit this level will take approximately 550 days, that is over one and half years of ad viewing. In comparison <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/2012/03/clicks-4-cents-initial-thoughts.html">clicks4cents.com</a> has a $1 minimum which takes about 12 weeks to achieve. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Growth Potential</b></u><br />
<br />
Looking at the site statistics we have, at the time of writing, 2783 members and a total paid out of $338.32. Given the minimum cash out level is $10 with a 4% commission charge that means a maximum of about 35 people could have actually taken any money from this site. That is less than 1.25% of the members. This causes us to question whether we should continue with this site.<br />
<br />
We are not questioning whether the site is legitimate, just whether or not it could be profitable. If we are to put time into creating referrals for the site can we earn in the long term? Would the people we refer see potential in this site to earn money and continue clicking the ads? With the amount of time needed to hit the $10 minimum we have large doubts.<br />
<br />
There is also the option to rent referrals; ptc68.com only allows the rental of referrals that have been active within the last 3 days and have 50 minimum clicks. For standard members the rental price is $0.3 per referral. The rental period is not quoted on the site although you can earn up to a maximum $0.008 per referral click. Bearing in mind we only make $0.0026 per ad click it is unlikely the clicks from our referrals would ever be this high.<br />
<br />
One of the most the most frustrating things about the ptc68.com rental model is that you can not use the current earnings you have made to rent referrals. You have to fund your rental balance separately. That means you have to put a minimum of $5 into the site without being able to micro-test the quality of rentals. This is in contrast to the <a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=paidtowebsurf">neobux.com</a> model which allows you to use your current earnings. Thus you never have to put your own money into neobux.com site to micro-test rental strategies and earnings. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Conclusions</b></u><br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.ptc68.com/index.php?ref=PaidToWebSurf">ptc68.com</a> website itself is as good as any other PTC site and the ads have been constant. The basic earnings per ad is also extremely competitive. The main question is whether or not you will put in the time to get to the minimum payout. You need to be committed for a considerable time period, as do your referrals, to get to that minimum level. We will be continuing our experiment with this site and will report again in the coming months.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223891399892912378.post-42471706335983599502012-03-26T12:58:00.003+01:002012-03-26T12:58:50.035+01:00Does Time = Money?The old belief is that time equals money: the more time and effort you put into something the more successful and profitable it will be.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I first started to compose this blog post I instantly started to thing about "passive income", which is when you do little (or even nothing) but earn automatically. I've discussed a few passive income options available to internet earners, and if you <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/search/label/passive%20income">click here</a> you'll see those posts. But the majority of passive income streams are built on the hard work and time you put into a project beforehand. For example, a passive income stream generated through the work your referrals might be doing on a site meant you had to spend a great amount of time building that referral base. Alternatively you might have to spend time updating a website, writing a blog, sending out newsletters or posting urls to direct traffic to your site.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So it might seem that I agree with "time = money", but I don't!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are sites out there which require you to spend ages completing tasks and clicking links for very small amounts. Often these sites workout to be paying only $1.00-$0.50 per hour! However, there is no skill involved. Some sites can be paying you $4.00-$6.00 per hour, but these require good quality reviews to be completed, so a level of skill is required.<br />
<br />
Clearly time does not equal money, but time plus skill equals money. Therefore, when looking to earn on the internet you should use the skills you have. If you can write well then <a href="http://www.slicethepie.com/?wyd=408909" target="_blank">writing reviews</a> will be much more profitable you than <a href="http://www.clixsense.com/?3970967" target="_blank">clicking advertisements</a>.<br />
<br />
If you want to go down the passive income route, don't be disheartened if you don't see much money in the early stages as it will take time to build up your stream (and eventually river). Have a strategy and stick to it. Set targets and work on improving what you do, analysing both what did right and what you did wrong.<br />
<br />
If you are not going down the passive income route the ultimate trick is to work out the quickest way you can earn money online - it's different for everyone so don't go wasting time where you won't make money.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223891399892912378.post-9805315567954881132012-03-23T20:44:00.000+00:002012-03-23T20:44:11.314+00:00Which Sites to Trust?<div>
This blog is dedicated to testing and reporting on different sites. We aim to highlight different methods of earning cash, using the Internet, without ever having to put a penny in yourself.<br />
<br />
The number of sites you could join is a daunting number and not all of them will be legit! We can't test all sites but we can report on the ones we have tested and you'll find these here <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/certified-sites.html">Trustworthy Sites</a>.<br />
<br />
On that page, you can also see a list of the sites that we are currently testing. If you have a site you'd like us to investigate or test please contact us and we'll take at look at that site - hey, it's better to waste our time than your time right?!<br />
<br />
But please don't just take our word for it, as different people will have different experiences. Read other blog, checkout forums and above all else only start investing your time (never money) when you are happy with a site.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading this public service announcement!<br />

<br />
<b><u>Website</u></b><br />
<br />
The website, whilst not going to win any design awards, is extremely functional, responsive and easy to navigate. The "Earnings Area" is what we are most interested in and and we have 3 options to earn. These are pay-to-click (PTC), pay-to-sign-up (PTSU) and the click exchange. Given we are currently only exploring earning using PTC this is our area of main focus.<br />
<br />
One slight concern about the site, given the advertised 28,820 members at the time of writing, is that the forums seem slightly inactive. Forums are good indicators for how many of the advertised members are still active on the site (a concern if we wish to later want to purchase or rent referrals). That said, the forum admin is very active and seems to respond quickly to any queries generated. <br />
<br />
<b><u>Rate of Ads/Earnings </u></b><br />
<br />
The PTC area shows the adverts available to be viewed. On average we have received 11 ads a day. You have to view the ad for 10 seconds before the earnings are credited to your account. At the time of writing we have viewed 237 ads earning $0.276 (approx $0.0012 per ad). To get to the $1.00 minimum payout, at the current earnings rate, will take about 12 weeks. The total amount of time taken to view the ads will approximately be 2 hours. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Growth Opportunities</b></u><br />
<br />
At an earning rate of $0.50 per hour we would like to increase this as soon as possible. To really make money, as with most of these PTC sites, you need referrals. There is the option to purchase lifetime referrals. This is in contrast to <a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=paidtowebsurf">NeoBux</a>, say, where you rent referrals for for 30 day periods. We currently do not think the maths works with lifetime referrals and will not be pursuing this option for growth. We will be giving much more thought to the referral models used by PTC sites in future posts<br />
<br />
<u><b>Current Verdict</b></u><br />
<br />
Overall we like <a href="http://www.clicks4cents.com/index.php?ref=PaidToWebSurf" target="_blank">clicks4cents.com</a>. The ads have been constant and the minimum payout is relatively low at only $1.00. We
will definitely be continuing with the site until this target is reached. However, it is a slow rate of return and the options for purchasing referrals do not seem value for money. We do not currently see ourselves continuing with this site beyond the first payout. <br />

I've decided the best way to answer that is by recording my day and tallying up at the end, so here goes...<br />
<br />
9.00am-9.30am - Time for a coffee! I turn on the computer and head straight over to <a href="http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=ref10852282">Inbox Dollars</a>. My first 5 searched of the day will be found through this site, which will earn me $0.06. The site I search for is <a href="http://www.slicethepie.com/?wyd=408909">Slice the Pie</a>! And over the next 30 minutes I drink my coffee and listen to music - posting reviews as I listen. I posted 8 reviews and made $1.89.<br />
<br />
9.30am-10.00am - I look at my <a href="http://adf.ly/?id=1407886">Adf.ly</a> account and my AdSense, noting that I made $0.21 and $0.89, respectively, before turning my attention to the boring part of the morning... my Paid To Click sites. I have 6 of these on the go at the moment (2 because of the <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/ptc-experiment.html">PTC Experiment</a>) and the rest being tested for a review on the blog. <a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=paidtowebsurf">NeoBux</a> made me about $0.50 with referrals (in the last 24 hours) and the rest which includes the likes of <a href="http://www.clixsense.com/?3970967">ClixSense</a>,
<a href="http://www.ptcbox.com/?rid=62321">PTCBox</a> and <a href="http://www.buxp.org/?r=paidtowebsurf">BuxP</a> have probably made only $0.25, with varying numbers of personal and referral clicks. It takes 30 minutes to get through this lot, partly because I have an increasing number of referrals to manage.
<br />
<br />
10.00am-4.00pm - It's time to do what I get paid for and go to work. I'll complete this post later! Still to do: forums, more music reviews, and surveys.<br />
<br />
4.00pm-4.45pm - I decide to check out <a href="http://www.e-rewards.co.uk/" target="_blank">e-rewards</a>, <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-5635517-10787870" target="_blank">Valued Opinions</a> and <a href="http://www.npolls.com/" target="_blank">NPolls</a> find a couple of surveys. Surveys are one of the most profitable ways to make money on the internet and in 1 hour I have made £1.50 on <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-5635517-10787870" target="_blank">Valued Opinions</a>, $0.20 on <a href="http://www.npolls.com/" target="_blank">NPolls</a> and the equivalent of $2 on <a href="http://www.e-rewards.co.uk/" target="_blank">e-rewards</a>. Usually if I can't find surveys on these sites there are others I will check out.<br />
<br />
4.45pm-5.30pm - This is the last stint on me earning on the internet for the day and I spend it on <a href="http://www.slicethepie.com/?wyd=408909">Slice the Pie</a>, earning a further $2.51, but also seeing that my referrals have been busy and added a further $0.38 to that sum.<br />
<br />
In total today:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Adverts = $1.10</li>
<li>PTCs = $0.75</li>
<li>Surveys = $4.20</li>
<li>Music reviewing = $4.40</li>
</ul>
<div>
Grand total = $10.45 for 2.5 hours work, though there are other days when this can be higher this seems average, bringing in $70-75 per week (quite a nice 2nd income earned for the time most people send on Facebook).</div>

The Internet of course is not restricted to static locations, in fact the majority of Internet browsing is conducted "on the move" using mobile devices.<br />
<br />
There are apps (usually surveys) where you can earn money, but the majority of these either do not pay or are scams that pay rarely/never. So, to keep things simple I'm just going to list a few to avoid and and then 1 you should try (which is what I'm currently doing).<br />
<br />
I'm an Android user, so that biases the ones I list here, however...<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>AppRedeem - this is one of those site that might pay you once, but then start to fail on you. It is very buggy, has terrible support/admin and will waste more time than I care to say.</li>
<li>iPinion - this site make you fill in 2 surveys before giving zero surveys for you to do. This makes it impossible to cashout and you are left realising that you've wasted 5 minutes of your time and space on your phone. I checked this twice a day for a month, with not a single survey being available.</li>
<li>Valued Opinions - now I rate this site, they are on my list of trusted sites, but their mobile app is rubbish, offering very few surveys. The app itself is good for checking your online balance and I hope it improves.</li>
</ul>
<b>Try:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>NPolls - there seems to be a new poll every other day and every other poll pays ($0.20). You need $10 to cash out and I'm currently 2 weeks into a test ($1.00 on my balance), so will inform you if they pay. But it's a tidy app, has good support and worth giving a go.</li>
</ul>

The vast majority of Paid To Click (PTC) sites either pay very little or go bust after a few months, because of a poor business model. However, there are a few good ones out there and we will be investigating them as this website develops.<br />
<br />
For now, I'm only going to talk about 2 PTC sites: <a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=PaidToWebSurf">NeoBux</a> and <a href="http://www.clixsense.com/?3970967">ClixSense</a>, who have both been around for a number of years and have proven track records as being profitable for both the users and the site.<br />
<br />
Firstly, <a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=PaidToWebSurf">NeoBux</a> is a site where you can rent an unlimited number of referrals, dependent on your membership type - and this is only kept under-control by the increasing costs for renting above 4,000 referrals and the limit on a weekly maximum. Their innovative "rented referrals" means that anyone can make be successful, it just takes time, patience and strategy!<br />
<br />
Many people use this site as an investment, following set strategies to gain a decent return on investment, in fact it is the casual user who will see least benefits from <a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=PaidToWebSurf">NeoBux</a> as their business model is geared towards offering perks to people who pay for better membership packages.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.clixsense.com/?3970967">ClixSense</a> doesn't allow rented referrals. The only referrals you have are those you directly recruit (or your recruited referral recruits - up to 8 levels deep!). This means that their are people on the site now who have a hugely successful model. And if you are new to the site, it is hit and miss as to whether you'll be successful.<br />
<br />
I am currently running a <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/ptc-experiment.html">PTC Experiment</a> with both of these sites and in part 3 will explain the strategies I am employing for each!<br />

<br />
The $10 withdrawal is the minimum you can withdraw from this site, but that is an easily achievable amount in 2 to 3 hours. I fully support and fully recommend you try this site.<br />

The difference between a link shortening website like <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/">Tiny URL</a> and <a href="http://adf.ly/?id=1407886" target="_blank">Ad Fly</a> is that whilst <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/">Tiny URL</a> takes you directly to a website like <a href="http://adf.ly/?id=1407886" target="_blank">Ad Fly</a> re-directs you to a banner, advert or survey first. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The banner option puts a advert at the top of the page that you can remove if you want - <a href="http://adf.ly/5X86y" target="_blank">click here to see what one looks like</a>. The advert option gives a countdown (usually 5 seconds) that you have to watch before you can skip it - <a href="http://adf.ly/5K70O" target="_blank">click here to see what one looks like</a>. The survey option means that there has to be a survey completed before you can get to the link. Typically you earn a lot more for sites re-directed through surveys, though less people are willing to participate.<br />
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm currently trailing a couple of paid link shortening websites and there are some stark differences between them. Let's start with the good one (good - so far),.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><a href="http://adf.ly/?id=1407886" target="_blank">AdFly</a></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Positives:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Easy to use</li>
<li>Good reputation</li>
<li>Established</li>
<li><b>Does not use surveys</b></li>
<li>Choice of banner or advert for each link</li>
<li>You can create plain re-directs</li>
<li>Pays 20% on referrals</li>
<li>Large community with useful forum</li>
<li>Low cash out amount ($5)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Negatives:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Pays very little per click-through</li>
<li>Statistics breakdown isn't very detailed</li>
</ul>
<div>
We are still trialling <a href="http://adf.ly/?id=1407886" target="_blank">AdFly</a> and will report back on whether they pay or not. Check out the <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/certified-sites.html">certified sites page</a> and blog for future updates. But for every good site there are many bad ones.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><b>Bee4 (www.bee4.biz)</b></u></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Positives</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Active admin</li>
<li>High payouts</li>
<li>Active forum</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<b><u>Negatives</u></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Small community</li>
<li>Rude admin who removes posts he doesn't agree with on the forum</li>
<li>Was unable to generate a penny of money after having a number of surveys completed</li>
<li>Uses surveys ONLY</li>
</ul>
<div>
In short avoid Bee4.biz, they are the first site to make it on to our "<a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/certified-sites.html" target="">uncertified list</a>". If you want to make passive income this way, use <a href="http://adf.ly/?id=1407886" target="_blank">AdFly</a> or an equally reputable company.</div>

The more surveys you complete, and the longer the survey, the more you earn. You don't earn cash, but you do earn vouchers.<br />
<br />
There are 21 different types of voucher to choose from: including amazon, John Lewis, TopShop and many more. In fact the fact that it's vouchers isn't a problem if you want to convert them to cash, because you can often sell vouchers on ebay for only a small discount on their actual worth (i.e. sell a £10 voucher for £9).<br />
<br />
I have completed survey ranging from 5 minutes, earning £0.50, to 4 day diaries (20 minutes total time), earning £20!<br />
<br />
The site I use is British, but they are a worldwide company, so see what is local to you and use them.<br />
<br />
So far I have cashed out over £100 in vouchers and will continue to use this site. Personally, I take Amazon vouchers and put them in y account. When I pop on to Amazon I'm often surprised by how much I have and indulge myself a little more. It's a great way of saving.<br />
<br />
They have also recently released a mobile application, allowing you to complete surveys on the go (earn on the bus to work?) There aren't many surveys suitable for mobiles at the moment but this likely to be a growth area for them.<br />
<br />
I've added a payment proof below and placed <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-5635517-10787870" target="_blank">Valued Opinions</a> on the <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/certified-sites.html">Certified Sites</a> page. Let me know your experience with <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-5635517-10787870" target="_blank">Valued Opinions</a>.<br />

Basically you either login to a site to view advertisements or have them emailed to you. You click on the advert, hang around for anything from 2 seconds to a minute and get paid.<br />
<br />
They work on the basic premise that the more you see an advert the more likely you are to visit that site and see what all the fuss is about. Indeed, many people use paid to click sites as a useful tool for finding other sites.<br />
<br />
PTC sites make the majority of their money from "renting referrals", advertising or providing "premium" services at a cost/subscription.<br />
<br />
There are some pros and cons from this type of site and I'll outline a number of these below, before explaining how to make much more money from them, in the third part of this write-up.<br />
<br />
<b>Pros:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>There are typically no start-up costs to you - this supports my belief that you should never pay to earn!</li>
<li>The process is pretty quick and its possible to click on 50-100 adverts in 30 minutes, earning anything from a few cents to a few dollars.</li>
<li>Most of these sites have "games" or "prize boards" where you can win extra cash from playing them.</li>
<li>The popular ones are legit and have proven track records of paying, either via PayPal or AlertPay.</li>
<li>Most of them have referral/affiliate programs, which is where the big money is (but more on this in the next post).</li>
<li><b>Used correctly you can make mega-money on these sites.</b> I'm not talking a nice little earner, I'm talking above average annual pay - off one site. Have 2 or more of these sites ramped up to the same level and you can be working 10 hours a week and earning close to 6 figures.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Cons:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>These sites can be slow to get going</b> - you have to be willing to put the effort in early when money is trickling in. The gold is buried deep, so you have to dig for a while before you can see the rewards. If you don't want to put the time in, these sites aren't for you.</li>
<li>You can be in fierce competition for referrals, so you need to have a game plan.</li>
<li>Often their aren't many adverts per day (maybe only $0.10-$0.25, so you need referrals to really make it).</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the next part I'm going to explain how the following sites operate:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.neobux.com/?r=PaidToWebSurf">NeoBux</a> - Probably the market leader when it comes to PTC sites.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.clixsense.com/?3970967">ClixSense</a> - One of the other biggest PTC sites, but quite different from NeoBux.</li>
</ul>
<div>
These sites have been chosen because they are all different from each other and they will be the basis for Paid To Web Surf's <a href="http://www.paidtowebsurf.com/p/ptc-experiment.html">PTC Experiment</a>.<br />
