Default Ptc?

Do you think PTC jobs really pay? I had came across a lot of PTC sites online. I am doubtful if they are really legitimate.

Has anyone been paid by PTC sites?

I saw one PTC site that claims that they pay $10 every 30-second view of a certain site. I know it's too good to be true. Who would be the big fool to give out that amount of money by just viewing their site for 30 seconds?

PTC means Pay Per Click. They are scattered all over the internet now a days. I don't know if they are really a real job or what.

Anyone here who has been paid by this kind of online job?

Hi,

Not only admin, there are many people are against ptc (including me:- ) like paypal.

Hope this thread would be deleted completely in a day or two, if not in a couple of hours.

We have already have had a lengthly discussion on this topic on another thread in this section.

I don't even mind about losing one of my post count for that.

Thanks,
Pothi.

My husband once spent a whole two weeks clicking and clicking and clicking. Every click was a small amount of money. He even ate as he clicked. After the two weeks he had reached the payout amount. Excited, he requested payment and... never got paid!

You spend lot of time, energy, and money (electricity + internet usage) to visit sites and click on them. The amount is miniscule after thousands of clicks and even that is not paid.

So it is basically "Pay to Click".

I have been telling every one for a long time... this PTC stuff is crap.

How is money made? money is not made it just changes hands.. why does it change hands? its either transfer of created value or a service or a product.

If you come across a business model where the party who is paying is not getting any value addition atall then take it for granted that its a scam.

When you open up those sites what value addition are you doing for the ptc site and what are they paying you for?

Dont act stupid and think about it for 5 mins.

Tommorow I can launch a site and say that I will be paying you for sitting infront of a computer for x no of hours and just have one site opened on it... get paid $1 per hour and you would need to pay $50 to join the programme.
There will be thousands of idiots who would join it and after finding out that the minimum payout is $1000 80% will forget about it after a few days and out of those 20% I would disqualify 15% for trying to cheat saying they jus left their computers on and were not actually sitting infront of the computer... the rest of 5 % ... Once I see a few people reaching the $1000 mark I would make one payment an increase the minimum payout to $2000 this time... and by this time site would be well famous and people like us would be talking about it on the forums and giving it more publicity... but what is it... it would still be a scam.


I am sick and tired of telling people that this PTC **** is no value addition for anyone hence its a scam. IT IS A SCAM.
