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.
