Caution Ad-vice

I start this blog with a warning to all those new to this make money online concept,
whatch out for the scamming scum, follow my leads and do your own reaserch.
You may have heard of all those GPT )get paid to) sites, PTC´s (paid to click) PTR´s (paid to read) PTS´s (paid to singup) Paid Surveys, Affiliate marketing etc.
Lets have a closer look at how these sites work.

PTC. In the beggining it was a ok concept, advertisers pay the intermidiate, the site, to show their ads to the users, paying for click, and hopefully generate leads and make sales, and the users get a percentage for viewing it, but in the past years the web was flooded by these PTC´s with "off the top of my head" names, many of them did not last more than a few months.
Most of these abandoned or plain intentional scam sites stay online for a while or even years still showing ads, not paying its users, and sometimes even scaming the unwary advertiser or investor.
Here lies their main problem! most of the users these sites atract are only interested in getting paid to view ads, NOT to really in purchasing anyhithing, the audience of these ads is interested in getting "paid to click", so these sytems and these sites only atract advertisers of more SIMILAR offers.
So where does the cash come from? well mostly from new sites who are looking for adveritsers, or from the purchases the users make like advertisment space and membership upgrades, that allow you to "earn faster" , sometimes only to find out months later the site has stoped paying its members, simply vanishes, or just changes its domain name and layout and starts anew.
So Watch out where you spend time clicking! where you register, and where you put your money!
I will do my best to keep this blog updated with the paying and the scam,
but still DO YOUR REASEARCH!
INVESTIGATE WHO THE SITE IS REGISTERED TO.
LOOK IN FORUMS TO SEE THE PUBLIC OPINION.
SEE IF THE MATH ADDS UP (for starters, if they say they pay $1.00USD per ad you view, but they charge advertisers only $1.00USD for 1000 Clicks, well thats just ridiculous!
WATCH OUT FOR PYRAMID SCHEMES, in which your only posible income is to scam or "reffer" other inocent surfers.
If you run in to any site you are unsure about give me a post and ill clear it ASAP.
For Layout purposes i will post all other caution advice as links on this post
Best of luck
Your PTC detective

  2. Hello Detective sir, please investigate this site called upworkptr.com. They pay $50 for reading emails, sure is that possible? I have even researched and many people are complaining about it. It never pays.
    thanks,
