PTC (Paid To Click) it such kind of advertisement when advertisers pay to you for viewing of their ads within 10-60 seconds. They are added money for your account for each successful viewing. For advertiser PTC is good means of promotion and making money online at low advertising expenses. For those who look through ads, potential consumers, PTC is a way of earning money easy and accessible to all in the Internet, way to which can be engaged even without initial investments.
PTC-programs are not auto surfing, multilevel marketing, a pyramid, Ponzi, Matrix or "Get Rich Quick" scheme. PTC sites are services that allow advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ads on "View Advertisements" or "Surf Ads" page. They are completely legal and any user the Internet (all over the world!) can join them absolutely free. An exact calculated percentage of all advertising revenue is paid to their members (that?s us :) ). PTC-sites earn money from the rest percent from money of advertisers, from affiliates on the site, and also from direct sponsors.
Users can earn money much more, involving or renting referrals. The earned money can be cashouted through any payment system accessible on a site. Usually, then money are transferred on the bank account or on a card. After that, you can now withdraw your money through accredited ATM machines. Also it's possible to receive the check.
Unfortunately, there is a huge amount of PTC-sites on which it's possible to lose the money. There are the sites made by incompetent people in Internet-business which cannot precisely count, how they can earn and, eventually, the ruined and ruining people, working on these sites. Or there are the sites created by fraudsters specially, for a deceit users (SCAM-sites). Usually such sites work month or two, and then the administrator of a site disappears with all money. To distinguish such sites it's possible to the following criteria: absence of a forum; unreasonably high prices for the clicks, incommensurable to the prices for advertising; the requirement of the OBLIGATORY upgrade and absence of payments to members without upgrade; very big minimal sum for cashout; when you reach the minimal sum for payment it suddenly, without the warning, increases; long term of payment after the order (from a week to several months); payments only one - two time a month; a plenty of links of the site.
The special place among fraudulent sites is taked up with so-called "Share Profit"-sites. Such sites have huge amount of ads (hundreds and more), but also the minimal sum of cashout is high ($20-$50). When the user reaches a necessary minimum, to him inform, that the total profit shares on all users and to his money the factor of payment is applied. Usually after that instead of $50 he receives $1, and it is good, if receives at all - and it after lasting many days unbearable clicking on hundreds links! Also there are the PTC-sites deceiving other fraudulent methods, for example, selling not of the true referrals, but so-called "bots", i.e. simply charging money to users, probably, the random sums. As such "bots" for advertisers do not bring any income, gradually these sites pass in the category of scam-sites.
