ClixSense

This is another trusted site, just a little bit different then other ptc sites. Site has been online for over 2 years now, and what is the most important, they are paying and on time. 

Just like on other ptc sites, you get paid for viewing 30 second ads. The amount you get paid per ad is from $0.01 and it can go up to $5.00 depending of an ad. Log into your account more frequently to view more ads before they are consumed by other members.

You will receive your payment by check mailed to the postal address you provide by registering with the site, so enter the accurate address during registration or you wont receive any payments. Payment processors like AlertPay or PayPal are not supported, so the only option for you to get paid is a mailed check. The minimum payout level is $10 (you can select a higher minimum payout if you wish in your account settings) and they will charge you $3 to mail the check.

You can have unlimited number of direct referrals, but there is no option of renting referrals.

You can purchase premium membership for only $10.00 for one year and you are allowed to use your account balance to upgrade your account. As a premium member you may have the opportunity to view more ads and earn more money because some advertisers select only to display their ads to viewers who have proven purchasing power.
Premium members are also paid affiliate commissions 8 levels deep.

Another cool way to earn some extra cash with ClixSense is Clix Grid. It's easy to play and it's fun. Your job is to click anywhere within the image and with every click you have a chance to win a prize that goes directly into your account balance (from $0.10 up to $5.00). When you click the image a new window will open. If that click is not a winner than you will be shown their advertiser's website. If your click is a winner then you will see a page telling you how much you have won. Standard members can click on grid 20 times a day, premium members have 50 clicks every day.

From my experience, click sense is a reliable website that pays on time. I haven't had any issues with this site so far.

Bux or Aurora

There are two kinds of pay to click sites.There are so-called bux and aurora sites. Main difference between them is in amount they pay you for your click on ad.

Bux sites usually pays you about $0.01 (1 cent) or more per click and $0.005 - $0.01 per referral click. They are much popular then aurora sites because of the higher earnings. However those higher payouts cause many bux sites failures because they are usually higher then the amount they charge for advertising.
That's why Bux sites need other ways to generate income to sustain site. These include selling premium memberships, renting referrals, jackpots etc. 

Aurora sites pays you only a fragment of a cent ($0.0001-$0.001). That's almost nothing for many people, but those sites are much more sustainable than bux sites and last much longer.
With much lower payouts aurora sites can rely on advertising income to sustain site.
They also sell premium memberships and referrals, but they don't depend on them like bux sites does.
However, they are not for everyone because of a small amount they pays per click. Only if you can get many referrals you can think about joining those kind of sites.

Traffic Exchange Sites

On Traffic Exchange websites you can advertise your links and banners for free after viewing other links and banners.

First, you register with a Traffic Exchange site. Then, you must view timed advertisements just like on other ptc sites. The difference is you don't get paid for your clicks, you get the ability to advertise your links and banners instead. Traffic exchange ratio can be different from site to site. If some website offers 1:1 ratio, that means you get 1 click on your link or banner for every click that you make.

Referral Exchange Webites

Referral exchange sites are free to join and easy to use websites where you can get many direct referrals for your ptc sites.

Here is how they work:

You register with the referral site just like you did with your ptc sites and start earning credits:

- the easiest way to earn credits is clicking on other member's links and banners (again, just like on other ptc sites).

- you can also join other programs listed on that site as someone's referral and earn credits that your referrer offered for sign up. This is not very recommended because soon you will a member of too many websites that you should manage.

- you can buy credit packages these websites offers you.

When you earn enough credits you can offer them to other members to join your ptc sites or, even better, you can advertise on that referral site your blog or website with multiple links.


Don't forget to read "terms of service" before joining referral sites.


These are the most popular referral sites:


1. getref.com
 


2. programrefs.com



3. EZReferrals


4. starreferrals.com
5. targetrefs.com
6. simplerefs.com

The methods listed below are absolutely free to use.

1. Referral exchange websites

These sites are specialized in referral exchange and they're very easy to use. You join those sites for free, just like other ptc sites and start earning credits. You will use those credits later to get referrals for your ptc websites.

Before posting carefully read terms of service because you can't put your referral links just anywhere in the forums.

Make sure your posts are connected with the theme, they should have some value so people can get interested about them and maybe click on your link.

You can put your ptc referral links or links of your blog or website with multiple ptc website links listed.

How To Avoid Scam PTC Sites

There are many scam ptc sites because it's very easy to set one up. All you need a few bucks and a PayPal account. Those sites actually pay in the beginning but soon they become scam. I was a member of some scam ptc websites and that was very frustrating period for me. I've learned my lesson and I'm not hotheaded any more when joining ptc sites.

There is no certain way to identify a scam ptc site, but there are things you can do to minimize chances of wasting your time, energy or even money.

1. Many ptc websites share the same template. It's simple and unprofessional. At a first glance you can see that the owner is not willing to invest in site's appearance to it's users. Most likely that site is scam.

2. Make a research on internet about the website you're interested in. For instance, in a Google search box type the name of the website and check if that name appears in a drop down menu followed by the word "scam". See if many people are complaining about that website. Note that some people are complaining even about trusted websites.

3. If some ptc site offers much more than $0.01 (1 cent) per click - run and don't look back. If it sounds too good to be truth, then it probably is. If they say they're gonna pay you that much, then how much they charge advertisers???

4. Check if the ptc site has a forum for the members to discuss their issues. Every serious ptc site must have one. If there is a forum, look for member's complaints and admin's answers to them. If there is too many complaints, there's something wrong about that site. If there aren't complaints at all, then probably the admin is removing these posts from forum.

5. Some ptc websites require you to upgrade in order to receive your payments. Giving money before getting any is not recommendable. All trusted ptc sites will pay you even as a standard member.

These are a few things you should check about every ptc site before joining. It shouldn't take long but it's really worth of your time.

You can also search for websites and blogs that review ptc sites. You can find them very useful when starting with ptc sites.

Personally, I find this website very useful for all ptc users:

What To Do Before Joining Any Ptc Site

There are a few things to do before joining a ptc site:

1. Create your email address.
You are going to need a valid email address to register with ptc sites and payment processor.
If you don't have one, you can easily create your free account with G-mail (Google mail), Yahoo mail or Hot-mail (MSN - Live).

2. Register with a payment processor.
You need a payment processor account to get paid from ptc sites. Most of the ptc sites will pay you through AlertPay or PayPal. For creating your free account with AlertPay/PayPal you'll need a valid email address - that email address will be your payment processor account ID. 
NOTE: When you register with ptc sites make sure you enter the same email address that you use for the payment processor so you can get paid.
Before registering, check if your country is supported by these payment processors.

You ca use the link or banner below to make an AlertPay account:

3. Learn more about ptc sites.
Search on internet for blogs or websites that will tell you more about ptc sites: how to make money and how to avoid scam ptc sites.

4. Before joining any ptc site carefully read their TOS (Terms Of Service).
Terms of service are different from site to site (although they're basically the same). Some countries are restricted for some ptc sites, some sites have different rules for inactivity, some sites require you to upgrade (to pay them) if you want to get paid, etc...

OK, these are just basics for all ptc beginners. Now, choose some trusted ptc sites and start making money. 

Good luck!
