1. Avoid Sites with Free Hosts and Free Domains
Explanation: A lot of new site pop up with a free hosts like webspacemania, 000webhost etc. and free domains like websitename.co.cc, websitename.tk, websitename.co.nr etc. All such sites should be avoided.

Reason: When the owner can't invest a few bucks in getting a good Hosting and a good Domain Name, how do you expect such a person to pay you for a long time?

Best Example: ExcellentBux which started off with a free host and ultimately turned out a scam

2. Avoid Sites with the Default Design
Explanation: Every script has its own default design. For example: YourOwnBux scripts have a white layout and adbux script has a grayish layout and so on and on and on.

Reason: Well, if a user doesn't have his own creativity to get a good design or at least cannot pay someone to make his site unique what confirmation do you get to say that they will pay you for a long while Wink

Best Example: 5Buxs.cn, still the same old YOB script and design and yet a scam.

3. No Forum? No Support? Not Trusted!!!
Explanation: A new PTC doesn't have a forum or any other means of Support System other than the contact page? Such sites a least trusted.

Reason: This clearly states that the owner doesn't want to interact with his users and attend their technical/any kind of problem with their site; you can never expect him/her to be hanging around for a long while. And you will have the least chances of getting paid.

Best Example: 5Buxs.cn, no forum, no news, no payments Tongue

4. Bugs Found? No Improvement? No Payment
Explanation: Generally pre-made scripts like the Bux.to clone and YourOwnBux has built in bugs in them. Found any bug in the script, the most found bug Referral Bug. Verify it with someone who has already signed up before you if the site has a referral bug or not and then you can try your luck.

Reason: When the site owner can't fix a small bug or cant hire a coder to fix a minor bug, how can he afford to pay its users or can fix a Payment Bug or Referral Purchase Bug and ultimately you will be the loser.

5. Default TOS/FAQ/Privacy Policy, Default Payments=No Payments Tongue
Explanation: Read the TOS/FAQ/Privacy Policy before joining a site. Scams generally don't update them since they are lazy. You should avoid them

Reason: A lazy owner to update a few details will surely be lazy to pay the site's users or add referrals or premium membership or respond to a Support Ticket. So, what is it now? A scam Wink

6. The Figures, Do they add up?
Explanation: Sustainability in a site is a key factor in the success or failure of a PTC site. Without the ability for the site to be sustainable on the sale of advertising alone, the site is classified as a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi Schemes are programs which function based solely on the sale of upgrades and referrals, once the referrals and upgrade sales stop, the payments stop too. That is why it is key to making sure the site is sustainable.

Reason: For example if a site pays $0.01 per click then the maximum amount of money they would have to pay to people for a 1000 click ad is $20 ($10 from the person clicking plus $10 for referral clicks). If what they are selling 1,000 click ads for only say $8 then they are making a $12 loss per 1,000 click ad someone buys. It should be noted that sustainability through pricing applies mainly to bux-style scripts. Aurora's are a different and more successful business model.

Best Example: icashout
As stated earlier, in order for the site to be able to pay people, these loses must be made up elsewhere, in order to create a profit. PTC sites often due this through the sale of referrals and upgrades. When the sale of these runs out, the payments will be delayed or in most cases, stopped, leaving the users in the cold.

1. Use Different Usernames and passwords
Well basically In PTC, if you have an insecure password or use password on two sites, there's a chance your account will get hacked, and your balance cashed out to there account. Want to stop this? You'll need a secure user name/password which is what this guide is for. User name: You may think: what's the harm in using the same username on every site? Well the risk is extremely but till existent, of an admin of another PTC site where you use the same username will come and hack your account. Or someone Might just hack your password using tools or luck. How to make unique on each site? Well there are quite a few networks of PTC's with the same owners so you can use the same user name there, (for example the latin PTC network the paid clicks network the titan cash network etc) so you can save time and effort there. If you use only decent PTC's then you should only need 4 or 5 user names Password:Base rules: don't ever use the same password twice (except maybe on networks - your choice) and never use the same password for a PTC as you do for your PayPal/alertpay account. Try to use uppercase lower case and numbers in your password. A few good password examples:Fgn145JklP87RG12grwant even more secure? Use at least 10 characters JK12joo98KJFfF900aFfFTTFaF21135off course don't use these as there examples. Trusting thousands of dollars in an account? Use a password like thisPjRT1T5HHHas5.9561thats all, hope you don't get hacked....

2. First look what PTC is about ..
Most PTC Sites will let you view ads before you register look at the ads and the minimum payout and enter those into the calculator below. If the PTC Site has a Forum, view the Payment Proof/Success Stories section(s) for payment proofs .Some PTC Sites have a Total Paid statistic. If the number is over $100 and there are payment proofs, it is probably a trusted site If you are constantly receiving referrals, it is time to upgrade if the premium membership gives you more for referral link If you are on a forum that allows referral links/images, put a referral link in your signature Sometimes, the PTC site may display an advertisement that has many images. (Such as Payment Proofs) To make it take a lot less time, click on a link within the page that goes to something else that doesn't have images. (Such as My stats)

3. Investment in PTC's -
1) Always check for other people having success from investing at that PTC If there's any bad ones you might not want to invest at all!
2) Make sure the site pays in under half a month, anything more is extra time to get your ROI (return on investment).
3) The deal must have a high probability of earning itself back within 45-60 days MAX (including cash out time) Anything higher is unlikely to be worth your time4) Never Use New sites, There's no telling how fast they might disappear (sites under 2 months are not wise investments)
4) You should of been paid at least once personally by the site. While this is not always necessary it is very useful.
5) Only assume half your referrals will be active unless the site states otherwise, this will help you plan better new tips since edit button came back
6): Keep away from bux.to unless you hate money that much... And if you do hate it send all your money to me...
7) sites with $0.01 or higher will often die quickly

4. Upgrades-
Look for outrageous other the top claims (1,000% referral earnings for example) which will make the site a scam. The tips stated above should be about 99% full proof when investing on any PTC site and should help you make a good ROI (return on investment)

5. Click More than one site at once-
A lot of you may already do this as a quicker way to get through all of the ptc sites. I currently use Firefox. But I just have like 3 browsers open and I am on like 1 or 2 PTC sites on each browser. This will definitely keep you busy plus you will earn more than doing one or maybe even 2 at a time. With internet explorer, when you click on a link it opens up in a new window, with opera or Firefox whenever you click on a link it just opens in a new tab. Hope this helps..

Other useful tips -
First you will have to register in as many websites as you can. Try to click in as many ads as you can until you have enough cash for referrals. After you have enough cash already, don't get it out of the website! Leave it there for now. Create a blog and post there all your ref links, don't forget to say something about each site. Now that you have your blog done, convert all your cash into Ad links, this way you will have more chances to get lots of referrals in your down line. Don't worry, the refs will take sometime to come along, but when they start piling up, that's when you start cashing a lot. Don't forget to keep clicking the ads as well; this will be necessary for the next step. After the first month with referrals in your down line, the cash that you made ONLY by you clicking ads, convert it again in more Ad links

As you can see, no problems, no stress and no spamming on the web, a simple guide that uses the best resources for your max profits. This way you will never loose promising referrals and you never loose any money, since your referrals are winning it for you.
