• PPC can help you find BUYERS. Do you think that anyone buys almost anything these days without going online and researching? Not too often anymore. We would even say that these days not doing your research online before you purchase almost any non-trivial item would make you a bit of a fool.
• You can target PPC advertising to certain geographic areas, cities, or regions and only advertise to users searching for your specific keywords.
• With PPC — you can change your daily budget at any time — great control over your cost.
  PPC targets ACTIVE consumers when done right in all phases of the buying cycle. Traditional advertising is like playing the lottery — PPC is a sure thing.
• You can run online promotions on an ad hoc basis online with a fixed budget — so if it rains or snows one weekend or for any other reason whatsoever – you can scale back or increase your PPC advertising for any timeframe.
• You only pay for actual clicks — not hard to measure impressions (how many half asleep viewers saw your last television advertisement — probably half as many as the networks are telling you).
• PPC can measure your ad performance down to the single click and monitor that users behavior during their entire stay on your website.
• PPC provides a rock-solid ROI (return on investment) measurement.
• You can determine a lot of information about your clients by setting up analytics on your site — incoming locations, how long a user stays on a page, etc…
• With a PPC program, you can test run advertising copy much more inexpensively than running traditional advertising. In other words — before you run a big fat radio or television promotion — does it not make sense to first spend a few hundred dollars on the same promotion over the web to see if the offer is effective or not?
• You can run almost limitless amounts of advertisements — if you have 50 advertisements you can run all of them in a rotation at no additional cost!
• Dollar for dollar — the value proposition on the data you will gather alone makes online advertising very, very valuable for your business. The ROI is very high for PPC advertising online.

How a PTC works?

A PTC site works as a medium through which Advertisers and potential customers can meet each other. It helps advertisers to reach customers and gives customers an opportunity to access the advertisement and earn some money too!

The Problem

The problem lies in the prices charged for Advertisers and prices paid to the Clickers. Advertisers won’t be ready to pay more and clickers won’t be ready to accept less! As the number of members increases sites start having problems. A site being down due to bandwidth problem or server problem is also a recurring and common problem with PTC sites.

Referral Program

Sites offer referral earnings to the existing members to increase their member base and activity. But as the member base increases the sites get into problem as they must attract advertisers otherwise they won’t be able to pay properly. If the sites don’t have a good profit margin they can’t pay referral earnings to all the members.

Premium Membership

Most of the sites earn by offering Premium Membership to their members. It is one of the major sources of income for the PTC sites.

The risk of losing Money and wasting Time

The risk is that it can go bankrupt anytime! The site might get into serious financial problems and close down suddenly or sell the site to somebody if they get a good offer etc.

So you have the risk of losing Money if you upgrade to Premium Membership. If you don’t upgrade then also you have the risk of wasting your invaluable time.

Lack of Professionalism of Site owners and Management

Most owners of the PTC sites are in the business only for money making and no serious goal. And most of them are not so mature in ‘Financial Management’ so it is quite easy to understand that they are not good at using the funds effectively.

Sustainability

Sustainability is the major problem with PTC sites. They do fine in the beginning and then get into deeper problems. That is also one of the reasons for some sites turning into scams.

Scams

It is observed that 95% or more PTC sites are scams! Very scary statistics for a new user as it is very difficult to choose a genuine PTC site. But one can save from being a victim of scams by following some simple points.

There are lots of them online with varying pays to click a link. You can join these programs for free! There are those who claim to give you $0.05 down to $0.01 per link you click. When a member reaches the minimum payout requirement you can request for payment to their choice of payment gateway like PayPal or Alertpay which are the two most common. When you click on a link it takes you to the page with a frame on top of it (which is most common) that starts the designated countdown for that click to finish. Usually it takes 30 seconds till your account is credited for the link and your earnings updated. You get to click about seven links a day, some offer more and some even have only four. You have the option to remain a free/standard member or you can upgrade as a premium member with varying rates. You also get to invite friends as your referrals or you can buy your referrals from the site. The referrals you buy are those members who haven’t signed up under anyone and are offered for sale on the site. It is a common practice that getting more referrals can speed up your earnings because you get to earn a percentage of what they earn. So like the hype they all say about referrals if you have a hundred or more referrals that could pile up a lot of money.

But here’s the truth about PTC sites and the referral thing. Even if you had a hundred referrals you don’t have a guarantee that these people under you are going to be active. People have different attentionspans all over the world. Some even don’t bother to come back to the site after they have seen this site isn’t the right one for them. Some flake out and even are discouraged by the system. The year 2008 marks the period where PTC sites have been most bombarded by hacks and attacks and so this adds to the factor where members lose hope with their PTC programs and never return. The sites undergo extreme pressure on their servers from these attacks that they cannot sustain the site any longer and some actually are forced to close. The sites’ forums are also bombarded with so much complaints about the service and mostly the delays in their payments. My personal experience has made me come to a conclusion that PTC is not for everyone. Most of them don’t care about their members. They don’t! That seems to be rather too general or is it really.
In my opinion if you want to start earning online for free, PTC sites are not for you. Some members fail to read the fine writing in the terms. On payment processes. Most PTC sites prioritize payments for those who are premium members. I have to admit being a standard member I have been waiting for my pay from one particular PTC and it has been over two months and still nothing is in my PayPal account. I can understand that part very well. But I see it as a very vague way of business. Do they have to let the members suffer and agonize about their payments. I mean those members didn’t actually just sit there and did nothing you know. They spent months or even a year to reach payout and they just disappoint them. Those free members actually made these sites some money for their clicks and is that all they can give them. Not even a real assurance in good faith to make them happy for the little clicks they made. Some fail to see this in a better light. Little as those clicks maybe at $0.01, but think about it, if the site has about 500,000 free members that amounts to a lot of money. They should at least give them some spark of hope with the speed of payment processing. To me it is a joke really. They prey on helpless people who just wants to earn a few extra bucks online. What happens if these members lose their faith on the site altogether even before payout time? When the members cancel their accounts they get to keep the members earnings. That amounts to a lot of money there. I have joined more than 10 of these sites and I conclude that if you set out to go earning online with PTC sites as a free member you will be frustrated.

I would like to suggest a few points to avoid being a victim of scams though they are no guarantee:

1. Avoid spending money on any PTC site unless you are very sure of that site

2. Avoid spending a lot of time on PTC sites

3. Do the research properly before joining any PTC site

4. Join forums and discussion sites to see what the existing members are saying about a particular site

5. Check out the site you have joined by visiting the site’s forum and the functioning of the forum. Many PTC forums are controlled by administrators and if somebody makes a negative remark they don’t publish it. Be wary of such forums.

6. Never ever get excited by any enticing opportunity

7. Never do something unless you are very sure of what you are doing

8. Remember that your first goal is to find a reliable site and that reduces your half the risk!

9. Always be alert and interact with the members through any platform that is convenient to you.

10. Lastly, don’t give much importance to PTC sites!
There are other programs where you can get to earn money doing other things online and they don’t even require you to pay for a premium membership or get so many referrals. Don’t bother with PTC sites if you don’t have the money to upgrade because you will not get payment priority. To cap it off, there has been a lot of these sites that have disappeared online leaving members disappointed, frustrated and empty handed in six months to a year of clicking. PTC sites is not for everyone!

I hope this information helps anyone who is new to the PTC world or don’t know much about the PTC sites and contemplating whether to join or not.

you receive the email just click on the link in it to confirm your

all to make more money.

Once you have entered these pages you will be allowed to enter the
details of 4 more web sites or blogs that you want to add.

If you haven’t yet heard, Angelina Jolie-Pitt already gave birth to fraternal twins namely Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt at Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France. Vivienne is the French form of Vivian, which reflects her place of birth. Her middle name was chosen as a nod to her late grandmother, Marcheline Bertrand (Angelina’s mother who lost a battle with ovarian cancer). Knox was the middle name of Brad’s maternal grandfather (His mom was James Etta Hillhouse, her father was Hal Knox Hillhouse). Leon is the name of Angelina’s great-great grandfather.

Anticipating those who are thinking of cashing in on Brangelina’s twins, the attorneys of Brad and Angelina quickly snatched up domain names all of which are in almost every possible combination. Below are what has been snatched so far:

While this may not be related to making money online, I really feel like featuring this one since I am a proud kapampangan and I believe we should all be proud for this phenomenal concept.

I happen to pass by a blog site which is at http://kalamtv.blogspot.com and it totally captured my attention since I am into this kind of stuff…acting,directing,arts,stuff like that. It is about a first ever “Kapampanganovela”. While we all got used to the usual telenovelas like mexican-telenovela, chinovela and koreanovela…a Kapampanganovela would exclusively use the native tongue of Pampanga.

“Kalam” is the title of the TV series that is about to be produced. Kalam is an obra maestra of Kalalangan Kamaru—a dynamic group with Laxamana, Dobles, Jon Tanganco, Alex Tiotuico, Grace Dayrit, and Nhoel Austria as the core members. I heard “sisigman” is one of them but I don’t know who’s who since I haven’t met him in person. I only know the handle “sisigman” via DeviantArt…he’s in my watch list.(my DA id is deadster)

I will keep an eye on this project. I think we should all keep an eye on it. Kamaru is still open for auditions if you want to be part of this phenomenon. Hmmm…part of me says that I should audition…hehehe
