I just felt a need to make a short post about PPclix's current situations. It has stopped paying since a long time. Support tickets aren't answered. Do not invest any money there, it's not worth it.
I don't know what's the future of PPclix, but it's not a right place to invest money there, at least for now.

Identifying best PTC sites.
People ask multiple times the same question: Which are the best PTC sites? No wonder, answer to this question changes month to month, in most cases. I am going to explain my way of identifying the best PTC sites, which run smoothly for long time.
You may think, what exactly I call as smooth running? I call a site running smoothly if it doesn't change it's TOS (Terms of Service) drastically, doesn't exhibit cash flow instability, doesn't lengthen the payout waiting times as the site gets older etc... The best examples of such unstable sites are Bux.to, IsabelMarco, TakeTheGlobe (TTG), Crewbux etc...
So, let me make it short and sweet. Below are the points to take into consideration when you are going to identify a nice PTC to invest in or deal with:
1) Check for the admin of the respected PTC. If you find difficulties doing this yourself, then just go to popular and active PTC forums like ptctalk.com/forums and ask your doubt about the admin there. If admin of respected PTC has closed his previous sites scamming its members, then say NO to his new adventure in scamming people.
2) After following essential step mentioned above, look at click-rates of the PTC. It MUST not exceed 0.01$/click in any case. Check their advertising rates, and calculate if they are making profits by selling ads or not. As usual, it should be at least 12$ to 15$ per 1000 visits; if site is giving 0.01$/click maximum.
3) Never invest in a PTC where admin pops out new problems (better word - Bluffs) for delaying payments. Mind you, I am talking about permanent delays, and not those which are rare. Good sites always get back to previous faster payout times after their temporary problem is solved, if any.
4) Time to go for innovation: Be very confident about those PTC sites which are built from the scratch. It shows the dedication of the admin for his PTC. It also shows that admin has enough funds to treat his PTC as his business, and not like just a personal website. Not to mention, such legit sites come along with instant payouts (or at least, automated ones). Examples: Neobux and PPclix.
5) Be active in forums. Look how admin is responding to members' problems and suggestions. Mostly, bad admins are not able to explain their actions. Stay away from admins who talk more and do less. Neobux admin act more and talk less, while TTG admin talk more and act less. You see the difference already by now :)
6) See if admin is working hard to get advertisers or not. Don't get confident by seeing more ads to click. Examine how are those ads. Are they self-sponsored? Self-sponsored ads include but not limited to: Ads pointing to PTC's own forums, News, Buy referrals, Success stories etc...
So, which are Best PTC sites in my opinion? Here they are: Neobux, PPclix, BuxP, Wordlinx, Clixsense. Only first 3 sites let you invest and earn more as a standard member. You have to be a Premium member at Wordlinx to get enough ads, should mention that, cost of 1 year premium membership is only 10$ there. Clixsense is also the same a Wordlinx, but sadly it has no E-Currency support. All money transactions are to be done via paper cheques only.
Your feedback and questions are always welcome :)

Advertising experience at neobux banner spot.
I wanted to share my experience with banner advertising at Neobux's surf ads page. The price of this banner ad is 12$/day, but you can get some it at wholesale price if you buy that ad spot for 1 week onwards.
You may think that "12$/day is killing!" Me too was thinking this, but shouldn't we look at what we get out of it? I bought a banner ad for 1 day, showing my PPclix referral banner. The result was 36 direct referrals in PPclix, from that 24 hours banner advertising! So, I got 1 direct referral at 0.33$ only! So, what do you say now? Is it Expensive? I don't think so...
Though, I should also mention that, those 36 referrals were not active clickers. Some even didn't click a single ad ever! I got around 5 to 7 active referrals, as i have observed. But yes, those inactive ones may get started at clicking at any time, depending on their mood ;)
Overall, I am happy that I advertised at neobux banner spot. Mind you though, don't advertise old sites, as many people may have already joined them.
And to buy that spot, you should send a support ticket to neobux support team, mentioning that you are interested in buying a banner spot. After you send support ticket, they would reply to you asking you to send a payment first, and provide a banner along with the link (URL).
Please share you advertising experience in PTC sites also...

Neobux introduces a unique security enhancement: Neobux Security Card
As per his addiction, Neobux admin gave a nice surprise to all members by introducing a Security Card, making it impossible for hackers to hack someone's account!
Yes, it's not free, rather its introductory price is 50$, so it would go higher than 50$ after sometime. But this is the best way to keep your Neobux account secure, if you have invested or earning a lot of money.
Instead of posting more details here, it would be nice to give a direct link to the announcement: http://www.neobux.com/forum/?frmid=3&tpcid=32406
Happy clicking!

Getting success in PTC investments, it's all about timing and controlling your greed.
First of all, let me explain how most of the Bux PTC sites (those which give 0.005$ to 0.01$ per click, and 50% to 100% earnings from referrals) work. They are simply Ponzi scemes, read here what ponzi means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme
Mostly, such PTC sites are started as ponzi schemes, and if not, they end up in this due to lack of entreprenuership. Bux PTC sites can be run as serious business (like that of neobux's case), otherwise their Healthy life is too short. It's pretty much like trading, where one gains money because someone else loses it.
OK, so you should be knowing already that PTC domain isn't a well formed market, and there is high risk of losing invested money. But there are ceratin rule of thumbs you can use to get success in such investments. Though, keep in mind I can't guarantee you that this will always work, because it's not science we are talking about, it's market.
So, I will mention some simple rules to follow to get safest position in PTC investments.
1) Never invest your money in PTC sites that are run on Default scripts, like those of Bux.to, pay2surf.net and so on. Such script can be bought for cheap rates, so it gives us hint that admin has no large funds to run his PTC, nor he has bachup funds to cover any disaster to his PTC.
All in all, such PTC sites are just personal websites, beaware of investing!
2) If we exclude sites like those mentioned above, there are left like Sandraclicks and Buxout (both are scam now). They do have initial funds, but they lack creativity. They just follow someone blindly (both followed neobux). But yes, it's about investments and not about ethics, right?! So, if you find any PTC very new and popular among the clickers community, and if you see many people investing their money in it, just go ahead and invest money in it. Mostly, you have better chances to get your ROI back in such cases, assuming you can get ROI in 30 to 50 days. You will keep earning till that PTC shows some signs of warning.
Such warnings can include: Too good (means fast) ROI, bot selling confirmity etc...
3) If Hot PTC sites for investors starts delaying payments (in case of non-instant payouts) or put a limit on daily cashouts (in case of both instant and non-instant payouts), then it's time to stop further investments. Don't be greedy (in other words, blind) to keep investing there, whatever the reason admin gives us for excuses. Just forget that site, and start finding a new one ...
4) Avoid sites with long payment delays to Premium members, again, whatever reasons they give for delaying payments. Such sites are IsabelMarco, taketheglobe (TTG), Bux.to etc...
5) Visit corresponding PTC forum, and also public PTC forums to find out current level of satisfaction from investments in that PTC of your interest. Don't shoot blindly.
If you are an old PTC player, then the most important point for you should be point-2. Don't forget, nothing can sustain itself if it is too good to be true.
Have success to all...
