This section of the GPT industry operates in
a
way that you will need to visit the site to click the links, they are
all 24 hour unique visit links (meaning you can only receive credit
once in 24 hours for clicking and reading the ad) but, some of the
busier sites will deliver all of
the clicks to the ad in a very short while, and the stable and
established ones will be adding links throughout the day, so you may
wish to visit more than once a day if you have time. The most important
aspect with this section of the industry is that there is a big influx
of new sites every week. The PTC section of the industry is a lot more
unstable than PTR, with many of the new sites offering links worth 3 or
4 times the value of an ordinary paid email ad. As a result they are
lasting, in some cases, only a few weeks. Members and outside
advertisers are going to compare prices of advertising within different
sites, and different types of sites. As a result the owners of these
types of sites find it very difficult to attract advertisers. If they
have no ads, members will go elsewhere, it they have no members, the
advertisers will find that there advert will take a very long time to
get the number of visits they have paid for. In that case, they too
will go elsewhere. So no members and no advertisers means that the site
goes out of business taking all members earnings with them.
So again, you need to research the sites you are thinking about
joining. Even with research, you can join a site that you have seen the
members stating they have been paid multiple times, but by the time you
reach payout, because of the reasons above, it has gone out of business
and you have lost all earnings accrued up to that point.
This is also an area of the industry where the selling and buying of
referrals is prevalent. Please remember that although many people buy
sets of referrals and make a large profit doing so, many more, buy
referrals and unfortunately lose money in doing so. Research of
every site before you join is of the up-most importance and it is no
different here either. The problem in this section of the industry is a
great percentage of the programs are new and therefore have no history
at all to check. A
lot of people now dismiss the Paid To Click section of the industry
altogether because of the instability caused by new sites appearing
every week, and then failing within six months.
Another thing to keep in mind with this section of the industry is that
the average payout request is $10.00, so if you do not have a large
down-line then there is the very real possibility that the site will
close down before you reach payout. You might try and avoid that by
joining low payout sites, but then you have to realize that most of
them started out with low payout limits, but as they started failing,
gradually began raising the limit. Again, if you have no down-line
there is a chance that the payout limit will rise before you have even
reached the original, lower limit.
Another cause for concern is a worrying trend that has started to
occur, in which a new site will make one or two rounds of payments, the
people that receive these payments will then have the confidence to
start recruiting new members, as they now have proof of payment.
Prospective members see that people are being paid and they will join.
This larger member base now allows them to bring in bigger additional
advertisers. At this stage members are now also buying ads as they have
confidence in the site, other members start buying referrals, again
because confidence is high, it is at this time that the program
disappears after receiving this large influx of payments from members
and advertisers.
So this area of the industry, at the present time, warrants careful
research and consideration when looking for new sites to join. |
