Click Contest
Sometimes sites will run click contests. If a contest is running, all your relevant clicks on paid to click links and email adverts are tallied up. Each site will decide which type of "click" (banners and/or paid mails and/or contest PTCs etc) will be counted in the contest. There is then a chart showing member standings, ie: the top member in the list will have clicked the most links and then in descending order below that the next member with the next highest total of clicks and so on and so on. The winner is the member(s) with the most clicks and will be awarded their prize at the end of the period the competition is set to run for. This is a useful feature that will allow you to see your current placing in the standings at any time during the competition.

Contest PTC
This section will contain a lot of adverts in the form of banners. Not to be confused with the click contest mentioned above. You will click these banners in the same way you would click a link in a paid mail. This will then take you to a new window/tab that will display the product/service advertised on the corresponding banner. As with paid mails, you will need to wait for a timer to expire in order to have your visit registered. Note how I did not say your account credited. That is because some sites will attach a small value to these ads, whilst other sites will not attach any value to them at all. Whether they have a small or no value attached to them, does not affect how this section works, it is the same way across all sites that have this feature. Instead of awarding each advert its equivalent value of the normal paid mails or banners, the site owner reduces or removes that value, and instead, after a pre-determined amount of clicks made within this section, will award one of the members a higher amount of money as the prize, and they will be randomly chosen by the script, not the admin or owner. I have placed an example below to help you understand and you will see it presented something like this;


Contest PTC Section

Every 50 clicks a member will be chosen at random to receive the prize of $0.01

And then you would see the list of banners here.


Obviously the prize and number of clicks when winners are chosen, will vary from site to site.

Downline Stats
This is where you will see how many members you have in your down-line. A new member that joins a program through one of your referral links is known as a "referral" or "ref" for short. Your down-line is the number of referrals you have at that particular site. That's the same type of link you used initially to enter your email address in order to join the site Then, if you remember, when you were completing the sign up process, you saw my user name in the "Referred By" box. This is where those members, who are your refs, are displayed and on what level of your down-line they are in. I will cover this in detail later.

Each amount and payment ratio is unique to each site, so check the value before exchanging.

Redemption Area
This section is where you can redeem your earnings, both points(if the site has point mails and links and you have opted-in to receive them) and cash from your account balance, for advertising and/or upgrades. Even if you do not have a big enough balance to cash out, you will still be able to use the balance (all or part of it - whichever you choose) to purchase these with. Any site/program that does not allow you to use your account balance to upgrade warrants further, detailed research, as this could be a sign of an untrustworthy site. Some sites though, even if they don't allow you to do this, are still trustworthy. It is up to the owner of each program/site as to whether they allow this or not.

Referral Contest
Site and programs often have referral contests, this means the competition is won by the person or people, who've have introduced the most new members to the program. A new member that joins a program from one of your referral links is known as a "referral". Your down-line is the number of referrals you have at that particular site. The number of referrals you have in the contest will not include every referral you have, only the ones that have joined in the time period set out in the competition.

Support PTC
These sections work the same way as the other PTC sections, but the links will have a point value, small cash value or no value at all. This is to aid the owner keep the site sustainable, and with these ads, they keep all or a larger part of the purchase price. You may also see support mails from some sites and they work in the same way. These are not forced links at most sites, that means you do not have to click them. Although some sites that send the support links via email in addition to, or as opposed to, listing them here, may have certain requirements that mean you may have to click some, or all of them. This is very rare though and should be stated in the programs "terms of service".

Tier 1&2 PTC
Tiers correspond to a number of countries grouped into different tiers. The tiers are as follows;
Tier 1 countries;
Canada, UK and USA
Tier 2 countries;
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.
These can vary from site to site though, so always check first. So as this section states that it is a Tier 1 and 2 PTC section, only members from Tier 1 and 2 countries are allowed access to these ads. This is because the advertisers that have bought ads/links for this section, wish only to target them to members from specific countries. I will cover this topic in detail later but, if you are not from a Tier 1 or 2 country and you try to click the links in this section you will be putting your account and earnings at risk.

Summary
So now you have a little more understanding of how many other methods of earning money there are at any particular site. The question is "Which do I use, and what would give me the greater benefit?"
The answer is that is, this depends on which site you are a member of. The best way to find out is to check through them all when you have joined. You will then see for yourself what areas are worth visiting every day. I recommend that for now, you just do the Paid mails and the PTC aspects to earn from your sites. Get into a routine of clicking the mails at the same time everyday, and also clicking the PTC sections at the same time everyday. This then leads to another question, "Why the same time every day?"
Well that's because each advert is normally set up for 24 Hour Unique Visits. This means that each ad (if it is purchased as such - some are, some aren't) will be clickable every 24 hours. So if you click on advert "a" in a paid mail and then receive credit for it, at 10:00 am on a Thursday you will not be able to click that link again for 24 hours - even if it appears back in your inbox at 7:00 pm the same day. If you try to click the paid mail before 10:00 am on Friday, you will see the message "You have already visited this advertiser and was credited at the time" so if you then delete that link you will have to wait until it is sent again by the admin at 7:00 pm on Friday night, or if you are not on-line then, clicking it when you are next on-line on Saturday for example. This means that you have not earned anything from that advert at all on Friday. This principle of "24 Hour Unique Visits" also applies to the adverts in the PTC section. So in order to maximize your earnings, always try and click the paid mails and banners at the same time of the day whenever possible.
