The Paid Clicker Perspective

Pay-to-Click websites are program websites that allow the member to click a specified amount of advertisements in return for a small compensation of typically 0.01 USD. In order to be successful in an affiliate program such as this, one must not only click on the advertisements but also make sure to get referrals either through rental or through direct link provision.


In order to get started in earning through PTC websites, one must have a PayPal account, or an alternative, AlertPay. Most, if not all, PTC websites pay through these means.

Signing up for a good PTC account is vital, as there are many PTC sites on the web, and a lot of them are scam websites that may or may not shut down once they get enough funds from membership upgrades. One precaution, therefore, is to research the reputation of the PTC website that you are investigating in order to discern whether it is worth it or not to sign up for it.

A legitimate website would typically feature a forum for all its members to access, and several proofs of payment as well as members comments would posted on it. A non-legitimate site would usually remove its forum due to members posting negative comments, or maintain a fake forum where no one could actually post except the administration.

It is also worthy of note that a legitimate website would seem professionally made, and rather original in its design. Some websites would have very similar designs because some scripts for PTCs can be purchased off the internet. A legitimate site would usually take time to create its scripts from its own staffers.

In order to maintain your activity in the website, you must login every 24 hours to click on the links. It depends on the website as well as your type of membership, whether free or purchased, to determine the number of websites.

I would personally not recommend getting membership upgrades for any PTC unless it has been proven to be a well-paying PTC site.

Furthermore, there is the issue of trying to get the much-needed referrals. Getting referrals is the challenge in every PTC. Referrals are the ones who do the clicking for us, for the effort of them signing up under our referral links. Many have used various techniques in getting referrals. Others have simply invested in the website in order to rent referrals rather than get direct referrals.

There are several ways in getting referrals.

One of them is to put a blog and adding a collection of PTC websites. Ensure that the PTC websites included are the ones you know are paying pretty well. Good information regarding the PTC website is helpful in order for the visitors of your site to discern the value of these websites.

Traffic exchange sites are also helpful for some PTC sites, and other types of programs. It allows the person to see your program through your referral link and therefore increases the chances for you to view them. The chances that they would sign up, however, depend on the appeal of the site as well as the amount of people who already signed up versus those who have yet to do so.

Sites that exchange referrals for points are also helpful, again, depending on the site you are promoting. One example of said site is Getref.com, which allows you to accumulate points by signing up on other programs in exchange for getting your own programs to be signed under.

Some people would also manually get into forums that would exchange programs to sign up under. I would not personally recommend this because a lot of people would sign up under too many programs, and not all of these programs are good. Be very careful exchanging - make sure you exchange for a program that you would already want to join anyway.

If you're feeling rather lazy to do that, simply rent the referrals, or buy them. Of course, this takes time because you would need to have enough credit in that site, unless you are willing to invest a certain amount.
