I have just added OnBux to my recommended Paid to Click sites. OnBux is a fairly new site, but, I am adding it to the list so we can take advantage of the site before anything goes haywire. *LOL*

Yes, starting this month, I will be recommending new Bux sites that are paying instantly just so we can make money through them while they’re still new and paying. However, please take note that I am NOT recommending that you invest anything on these sites that are on my Pending Review list.

Again, DO NOT INVEST money yet in OnBux. Just join the site and take advantage of their instant payments and $0.01 per click.

Some information about OnBux:

  • Each click on OnBux is worth $0.01, just like with Neobux.

  • As a Standard member, you get 4 ads daily.

  • You get paid INSTANTLY!

  • Minimum amount for payment is $2.00 and you must have 60 clicks already before you can withdraw them through Paypal, Alertpay, Liberty Reserve and Neteller.

  • Upgrading to Golden membership costs $90.00, just like with Neobux. But, again, DO NOT invest money yet in OnBux.

Keep posted for updates regarding OnBux so you’ll know when to stop clicking for them. Good luck to all! I’ll be posting my payment proofs once I withdraw funds from OnBux.

UPDATE: I have received my first payment from OnBux.  Check out my other payment proofs from OnBux.

Clixsense Review : Oldest and Recommended PTC Site

Posted on July 4, 2010 by Mhel Ignacio | 5 Comments

Finally! After months of waiting, Clixsense now pays through Alertpay, another popular payment processor next to Paypal.

This is absolutely good news for clickers like me. I stopped recommending them because I don’t feel comfortable receiving checks through mail. I’ve heard about horror stories, and even experienced one myself, from people who lost their checks or something that was mailed to them from somewhere international. I didn’t want to risk it so I didn’t recommend them for the longest time. But, now that they’re paying through Alertpay, they’re now back in my highly recommended PTC sites list.

Some information you might not know about Clixsense:

  • Each click on Clixsense is worth $0.01. A lot of lovers of Bux sites out there will surely enjoy clicking for Clixsense.
  • They’ve been around since 2007 and have been paying members without issues. A lot of payment proofs can be found online. That’s why they’re in my highly recommended PTC sites list.
  • Minimum amount for payout is $10.00 for checks and Alertpay. You can choose to increase the minimum payout before they send you your payments automatically.
    Checks and Alertpay payments are processed and sent out on or before every 10th of the month. Earnings are carried over to the following month ’til you reach the minimum payout you set.
  • For only $10.00, you can upgrade your account to Premium for one (1) year. Benefits for upgrading are the following:
    • More ads to click daily. Take note, though, that the number of ads you get are dependent on your location. So, if you’re from the US, expect more ads than clickers here in the Philippines.
    • Higher referral commission:
      • You get paid $0.01 per referral.
      • You earn 10% of ad purchase revenues from your downline/referrals.
      • You get paid up to EIGHT (8) LEVELS deep for referrals who upgrade to Premium.
        • You get $2.00 per direct referral who upgrades.
        • You get $1.00 if your 2nd level referrals upgrade. Up to 8 levels deep!

    This is why I’ll be upgrading my membership within the week. And I suggest you do the same. That’s how much I trust Clixsense.

The only thing that I don’t like about Clixsense is you won’t get that much ads compared to other sites when you’re a Standard member. You have to check back often to see if there are new ads to click.

I suggest you follow Clixsense on Twitter. You can do so by clicking on the icon below. They post new ads on their Twitter page so keep posted! :) Follow Clixsense on Twitter!

You can also follow me on Twitter – @blankpixels – for more updates. If you have questions, feel free to contact me there, too.

How to Make Money with TrekPay – A Review

Posted on November 27, 2009 by Mhel Ignacio | 3 Comments
Earning Potential as a Standard Member:
  • They are using a credit system wherein members earn credits from viewing and clicking on ads. They also earn credits through referrals to the Trekpay and Trek Advertising sites.
  • How does Trekpay work? You will actually be doing the same thing as with other Paid to Click sites but with the credit system, there is a possibility you’d earn more than $0.01 per click or ad you view. Every week, Trekpay shares their profit from all the advertisings purchased from them by placing a dollar amount on each credit. It’s like foreign exchange but this changes weekly. It usually happens between Tuesday to Thursday.

    For example, your 1 credit this week is equivalent to $0.05. Next week, it could be higher or lower. It really depends on how much advertising they get. With this, they’re claiming that a member may earn $50 per week if the credits are worth high.

  • They also pay commissions to your referrals who purchase advertisement from their site. They pay 12.5% of each sale directly to the referrer.
Upgrading to Premium:
  • There’s no option to upgrade accounts in Trekpay since they use a credit system.
Average # of Ads Available to Standard Members:
  • 4 to 8 ads daily. Ads can be worth 1 credit or 3 credits.
  • Where to find the ads? After logging in, click on the Browse/Search button on the top of the page. It will lead you to the list of ads like the one below:
Managing Referrals:
  • No way of managing your referrals and you can have unlimited # of them.
  • You can check your referrals by clicking on the Account button/tab on the top of the page and click on My Account.
Payouts – When & How to Withdraw Earnings:
  • They only pay through Paypal.
  • Once you’ve reached the minimum amount of $5.50, you can withdraw your earnings.
  • Every week, between Tuesday and Thursday, your credits will be converted to cash. Your credits will then be zeroed out.
  • They pay weekly but members need to wait for the 2-week holding period after their request. This is because the payments from their clients/advertisers need to be cleared with Paypal first before Trekpay is credited the money to their account.
Reminders:
  • Be mindful of the missed icon on the clients’ websites and ads that you view. According to Trekpay, they can put this at anytime on the client’s websites or ads. I kinda doubt this works since I haven’t seen this icon yet. But, still, I make sure I scroll up and down on the client’s website to ensure the missed icon isn’t there. If you miss it, you’d get penalty points so be mindful of them. The missed icon is shown on the right.
Additional Info & Features:
  • I want to point out some things on Trekpay that you need to know. Trekpay is getting clients/advertisers who either have 3rd party advertising on their sites and they want people to click on them so they’d earn money or simply wanted people to check out their site.

    Trekpay has 2 advertising rates:

    • $0.02 per visitor - This rate is supposedly for advertisers/clients who do not have 3rd party ads on their website and those who do but only wants people to visit their site. Trekpay members will earn one (1) credit for viewing this site.

      It’s funny but I’m seeing a lot of paid links/ads on Trekpay where the link says “Click on ads to receive 3 credit bonus” and the like. It’s actually not true. The only credits you’ll earn for clicking links on Trekpay is written on the Instructions/Details column. Some clients who post those misleading text links only want to fool people into clicking their ads because of that promise of giving them extra credits. See the examples below:

      HOWEVER, even though these text links are fake, I would click at least 1 ad on their website. Why? Because that’s how Trekpay is getting money to pay their members. Also, this will result to higher exchange rates for our credits.

      If they ask nicely through their text link, I might even click 2-3 ads. But, otherwise, I’ll stick to clicking that many ads for those who ACTUALLY paid a higher amount, the 2nd advertising rate…

    • $0.06 per visitor – This rate is for advertisers who want people to click on ads on their site. Members who visit the site will earn three (3) credits.If I am to get 3 credits for a site, I do my best to click at least 3 ads on the client’s website. This way, it’ll encourage them to continue advertising with Trekpay.
  • They don’t have a forum but they have this ticketing system where you can send in your support questions or problems. This is the part that I don’t really like about them. Some people might not have any idea how their site works and they don’t have a clear description on their site. That’s why I wrote this review.
Payment Proofs:
  • Payment proofs can be found all over the web.
  • As soon as I cash out, I will post my payment proof here.
Tips & Techniques in Maximizing your Earning Potential with Trekpay:
  • Since there’s no timer in viewing the advertiser’s site, you can finish viewing and clicking on ads very quickly. However, take note of the missed icon. What I do, after the site has loaded, I immediately scroll up and down to ensure the missed icon isn’t there.
  • After you’re done with your first batch of ads/websites to view, refresh the page. Most of the time, you’d see a few more sites to visit.
What I Think Of Trekpay:

With Trekpay‘s credit system and how they make money from advertising, I can see their sustainability potential. A lot of people will continue on advertising here in the hopes of getting a lot of money from their chosen 3rd party advertising networks.

I can also see a very high earning potential for all the members because of the credit system and the commissions they’re paying out to members.

However, I wonder how long they’ll be around. I wonder how long before 3rd party ad networks find out what to do with them and those who use their service.

Lastly, I also know that less than 50% of the current members of Trekpay actually click on ads. Why? Because they know they’d still get credits even without clicking on any ad on the site. But, then, again, like what I said in the previous bullet points, if members want to earn more for their credits, then, they have to click at least 1 ad on the advertiser’s website. This way, Trekpay gets more profit to share with the members.

Anyway, if you want to make money through Trekpay as a member who clicks and views ads, join here.
If you want to make money on your site that has 3rd party ads and you want to utilize Trekpay’s system, then, click here. Be warned, though, that your 3rd party ad network account MAY be banned or suspended for invalid clicks or hits if you use Trekpay. If you’re using Google Adsense, I recommend not to utilize Trekpay services or risk your account getting banned and losing all your earnings so far.

PTC Site Review – Neobux – Most Trusted / Reliable PTC Site

Posted on November 8, 2009 by Mhel Ignacio | 0 Comments

(#1 Highly Recommended Paid to Click Site!)

Click here to join Neobux

Earning Potential as a Standard Member at Neobux:
  • $0.01 per ad viewed
  • $0.015 per extended view of any ad/website
  • 50% referral commission ($0.005) or $0.010 per extended view
Upgrading to Premium at Neobux:
  • One year Golden membership costs $90.00.
  • You can pay through Paypal OR AlertPay.
  • You still get paid $0.01 per ad viewed BUT you get $0.020 per extended view.
  • 100% referral commission!
  • You get 9 ads compared to 4 ads for Standard members.
  • After upgrading to Golden membership, you can buy additional Golden packs. More info about the Golden packs here.
Average # of Ads Available to Standard Members at Neobux:
  • 4 to 5 ads daily. But, from my experience, I get additional ads from time to time.
Managing Referrals at Neobux:
  • If you click at least 4 ads as a Standard member and 9 as Golden, you get commission for all the clicks made by your referrals. So, make sure you click everyday and click all the available ads!
  • You can only have direct referrals after being a member for at least 30 days and having at least 100 clicks. So, be active when you’re just a new member if you’re planning on referring people.
  • Below is the direct referrals limit based on memberships:
    • Standard: 30
    • Pioneer: 60
    • Golden: 200
    • Golden+Pioneer: 250
    • Golden/Emerald: 300
    • Golden/Sapphire: 300
    • Golden/Platinum: 400
    • Golden/Diamond: 400
    • Golden/Ultimate: 800

    However, your direct referrals limit will increase based on the # of days you’ve been a member of Neobux. This is mainly the reason why I decided to postpone my upgrade to Golden. I decided to rent about 300 referrals first and extend them up to 90 days before I upgrade. This way, I’d get better referrals. If you want to know how many direct referrals you can have, just go to your Direct Referrals page and it should say something like “28 of 128“, where 128 is your direct referral limit (the number will differ okay?).

  • Rental period for referrals is 30 days. You can extend them up to 90 days so you can get a discount.
  • If you want to rent referrals, you need to add money to your Renting balance. You can transfer money to your Renting balance using your Neobux main balance, or paying through Paypal (highly recommended) OR AlertPay. You will also use this Renting balance for recycling and auto-paying your rented referrals.
  • They have a Return Policy for rented referrals. If they’re inactive for 14 days straight, they will automatically exchange or recycle your referral with NO additional charge and for UNLIMITED times. So, I suggest you wait for 14 days of inactivity so you won’t have to pay for recycling inactive referrals.
    Take note, though that you can lose a lot of referral commission if you wait for that 14 days. It’s really up to you. What I do usually is recycle my referrals as soon as they’re inactive for 5-6 days because I’m thinking of the money I lose by keeping them and waiting for 14 days for the free recycling.
  • Letting a referral expire will have a small fee ranging from $0.02 to $0.05 depending on your membership.
Payouts – When & How to Withdraw Earnings at Neobux:
  • You get paid INSTANTLY! For my payments, I got them in less than 5 seconds. Yes, you get your payments that fast!
  • On your first cashout, minimum amount is $2.00. This will increase by $1.00 on every cashout until you reach the fixed minimum amount of $10.00.
  • They pay through Paypal (highly recommended) OR AlertPay.
    They also pay through Neteller but I only recommend the 2 major payment processors being used today.
  • A processing fee might be deducted from the amount you withdraw depending on which payment processor you use and how much you’re requesting to get.
  • Cashout requests can be done at least 4 days apart.
Reminders:

From their Terms of Service:

You can only view ads using one IP address within a 24 hours period. On the other hand, you can use multiple IP addresses to login. Any attempt to do otherwise may lead to the termination of your account.

Additional Info & Features of Neobux:
  • You need to be a member for at least 30 days before you can post anything in the forums.
  • You can setup a secondary password for more security of your account.
Payment Proofs from Neobux:
Tips & Techniques in Maximizing your Earning Potential with at Neobux:
  • Do your best to click everyday and click ALL the ads available to you so you can maximize your earnings from your own clicks and from your referrals.
  • Use your Neobux balance first when renting referrals. You can start renting 3 referrals for $0.75 only. This way, you can earn more money and reach the cashout limit faster.
  • Don’t upgrade too soon. Do it when you have earned enough money from your PTC sites. I strongly suggest not to do it using money from your own pocket.
  • Manage your referrals well by not letting the inactive ones stay. Recycle them. Click here for more tips on how to manage your referrals.
What I Think Of Neobux:

Neobux is the # 1 Paid to Click site to-date. They’re the most reliable, trusted PTC site and what’s best about them is you get paid INSTANTLY! They’re my # 1 highly recommend PTC site.

One other reason why I love Neobux is because the Admin is very active in the forums and I love that they share insights to their members to help them maximize their earning potential with Neobux. Just browsing and reading through their forums, you’d see a lot of VERY satisfied members.

Latest Updates:

09/20/2009:

  • The Admin wanted to help boost Standard members earnings to help with problems with referral inactivity. So, Standard prices for rentals, extensions and auto-pay were reduced by 11%.

11/10/2009:

  • I’ve got exciting news for you about Neobux. The admin has come up with major changes that were directed on solving issues with low # of unreferred members for rentals, inactive referrals, etc.Now, the final phase of the major changes has been activated.

    Now, you can sell your Neobux direct referrals for money. The money you’ll earn from these referrals will go straight to your Rental balance so you can use them to recycle or rent more referrals. This is a very good way for you to manage your referrals. Take note though that only certain direct referrals can be sold – those that are active. Below is the prices of your referrals, taken from the Neobux Admin’s post in the forum:

    The prices are very attractive and are as follows:
    - Referrals with an average between 2.00 and 3.99 = $1.00
    - Referrals with an average between 4.00 and 5.99 = $2.00
    - Referrals with an average equal or higher than 6.00 = $3.00

    So, if you want to read more about this change, here’s the Neobux forum thread: http://www.neobux.com/forum/?frmid=3&tpcid=89359 For me, though, I won’t be selling any of my direct referrals. But, I’m thankful for all the changes that the Neobux admin is implementing because I’ve observed an increase with my earnings. That’s why they’re my #1 PTC site. Join Neobux now!

11/21/2009:
Here’s another reason why you SHOULD join Neobux. The Admin announced that they will be reaching out to the victims of SVBux which closed and wasn’t able to pay back the members who invested in their site. For more details, read this post from Neobux Admin.

PTC Site Review – PalmBux – (Pending Watch List)

Posted on November 8, 2009 by Mhel Ignacio | 0 Comments


Click here to join PalmBux

Earning Potential as a Standard Member:
  • $0.008 per click or ad you view.
  • $0.005 per referral click.
Upgrading to Premium:
Average # of Ads Available to Standard Members:
  • 4 to 5 ads daily
Managing Referrals:
  • You need to click at least 3 ads as a Standard member or at least 8 ads as a Premium member to receive ALL clicks from your referrals. I suggest you click ALL to maximize your referral earnings.
  • Direct referrals limit for Standard is 25, 75 for Premium. You can have more when you upgrade your membership. Take note that they charge $0.10 for every direct referral that you delete.This is what I don’t like about them. I have deleted about 10 direct referrals because of their limit. I don’t want to upgrade yet to their Premium account so I have no choice but to delete some of my direct referrals. I hope they have a way of increasing the direct referrals.
  • You can rent referrals for $0.30 each for 30 days. If you’re just starting, once you have $0.30 on your account, you can rent 1 referral immediately to help you get to the cashout limit faster.
  • Rented referral limit for Standard members is 1,500. However, you can only rent 100 refs every 7 days.
  • Referrals are not always available for rentals so you have to take note of the times they release or update the rental queue.
  • They only offer referrals for rental when they’ve been active for the last 4 days. Good, right? This will actually help ensure that you get active referrals once you rent them.
Payouts – When & How to Withdraw Earnings:
  • Minimum cashout is $2.00. It increases by $2.00 every cashout until it reaches the fixed limit of $8.00.
  • Payments are INSTANT. However, on your first cashout, they will audit your account and you have to wait for about 7 days to receive your first payment. After this, though, all cashouts will be INSTANT.
  • You can request payments to be sent through Paypal (highly recommended) or AlertPay. The processing fee for Paypal is 8.5%, 10% for AlertPay.
  • Members from China, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and Hongkong need to upgrade to Premium to request for cashout.
Additional Info & Features:
  • You can setup a secondary password for added security to your account.
  • They have this Daily Contest wherein they take $0.003 from your balance when you click your ads and they’ll give all the accumulated amount to a random active clicker. I turned off this option on my account because I’d rather keep the money than give it to some random member. Plus, consider the odds of me winning it. But, if you want to take that chance, you can leave it on. If you want to turn it off, go to the Games menu once you’re logged in and click on Daily Contest -> click on Turn Off.
  • They have this feature where you can set your account on Vacation and you will still earn money from your referrals even when you don’t click daily. However, there’s a limit on the number of days that they’ll allow your account to be set on vacation, depending on your membership. For Standard members, you can only use this feature for 2 days. Take note also that once your account is set on Vacation mode, you will be logged out and your account will be inaccessible for the number of days you have set it to vacation mode.
    It’s a very cool feature, if I may say, because you’d get 100% referral earnings. I wish other PTC sites could have this feature, too.
Payment Proofs:
What I Think Of Palmbux:

Renting and managing referrals with Palmbux is quite expensive. And I don’t like that their direct referral limit for Standards is just 25. I deleted almost 10 referrals because of this. And I don’t want to upgrade yet ’til I know they’ll be here for another year.

I love that they pay members instantly but for now, I don’t recommend upgrading or investing with Palmbux. Just continue clicking for them as a Free member. I’ll keep you posted if they’ve already passed my standards for a reliable site where you can invest.

Latest Updates:

11/05/2009:
They will be moving to a new server to fix problems with slow loading of their website. They’ll be down for about 2-3 days and they’ll just add this to memberships and referrals to compensate members.

Check out the News & Updates section of this blog.
