Scam PTC Services

The Internet is saturated with so many paid to click sites to join nowadays, and for every legit site there exists a scam site. Sometimes it is not an easy task to discern a legit site from a scam site, so you really need to take the time and research before you join a site. The last thing you want to do is invest time and money into a site only to have it all disappear. There are some simple rules you can follow to help avoid scam sites.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Read the TOS

Always make sure you read the Term Of Service (usually located at the bottom of their site) before you join their service. Look at how much they are paying per click and per referral’s click. If the amount they are paying sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t be drawn in by the big numbers with promises of making quick money. Any service that is paying too much will not be able to survive on its own advertising alone and will eventually go down taking whatever cash they have made with them. Finally, check the TOS often (once a month) to make sure they haven’t added or changed any the terms prior to your knowledge.

Overall Site Impression

Take a look at the site as a whole. Does it look professional or does it look like someone downloaded the clone Bux.to script (or any clone script) and just slapped a site together by changing a few things. Honest paying legitimate PTC services have a original, professional feel even if they have a modified clone script to develop their website. You can easily tell if the PTC service (admin) has invested time and money into their business. Any PTC services that looks typical and not unique will almost always walk away with your money. If the PTC service doesn’t invest into their own business then they won’t invest into you, and certainally won’t pay you!

Read Paid To Click Forums

Check the forums to see what kind of feedback other members have about the site. Forums have a wealth of knowledge about almost every PTC site out there. Posts by happy members are a good indicator of a legit site and a good gauge of how successful it is. If a site is not so good or really bad, you will definitely see posts about it. Sometimes there are conflicting posts of good and bad experiences, in which case you should use the other factors to help you decide. Also many forums have blacklisted or scam sites section showing you which ones to avoid which makes the research alot easier.

How Active is the Admin of the Site

Good sites have very active administrators. He or she (usually a team of people) should be  very busy fielding trouble tickets, complaints, answering PMs (personal Messages) and the general running of the site. If the admin doesn’t respond to any of these in a timely fashion, then it’s usually a good indicator of a poorly run service or a service that should definitely be avoided. The forums of the service will let you know how active the admin is and the overall impression members have of them. The forum should also be busy with people commenting daily, make sure you look at the date of the last comment from the admin to check their activity.

Search Google

Another easy way to check a PTC Service other than using Whois is to just do a search in Google or Yahoo for the name of the ptc site in question. You can cross reference the search results with some of the research you did earlier to see if it checks out or not. Ultimately its up to you to decide which PTC Services to join. There are many resources on the internet to help you decide which services to sign-up to (PTC Guardian being the best). Make sure you do your research and don’t take any shortcuts or you may end up wasting your time and money if you have invested any.
