Auto-clickers (or bots) become a real menace for PTC industry lately, and maybe you did already notice that many PTC sites implemented more and more anti-cheat measures.
What's a auto-clicker you may ask?
An autocliker is a software that automates clicks and allows dishonest members to cheat a PTC program. Thus in order to earn a max commission in a minimum amout of time. Usually, and that's the common rule, members do first have to log in their account, and then click on the available links, one after another, waiting each ad to have it's timer over.
With an auto-clicker, everything is automated, except the account login. That means the member has still to log in his account, set the bot and than the software will scan the page for links and auto-click of them. And all of this runs in the background.
UNFAIR !
Obviously, as these clicks are not "human" ones, they are strictly forbidden, and considered as cheating and illegal in each serious program TOS. After all, the goal of a PTC site, is to actually SHOW ads to people. If no one looks at the displayed ads, no advertiser will buy ad campains ...as they'll see their ads were not effective, and won't come back anymore.
And a program who can't sell ads anymore, will die soon.
It's also highly unfair for honnest members, If I am an advertiser, and buy, for example a 1 cent to 1000 members, my ad will maybe be clicked by 100 bots and deprive 100 other members, honnest ones, from wieving my ad, and earning a comission for it. I will be deceived by the results of my campain won't advertise there anymoreand won't be the only one .
The program won't have any more ads to show, the programm owner will be broken by having paid out cheaters, and will maybe not be able to pay the reamining payout requests. Bots will have killed the site!!
What 's the risk to use autoclickers?
If the Program Owner finds out You use that type of software (and believe me they will investigate your account before paying you, especially since the use of bots became so important) you'll lose ALL your earnings and be BANNED. It may seem to you it's "working" and it can work a while, but as soon you'll request payment, your account will be checked.
PO's do talk together, at least some of them, some also do post in PTC dedicated forums and they'll maybe give usernames from those who had been found cheating, so you even risk to lose your earnings and accounts at several programs.
Another thing is often forgotten by the autoclickers users : many of these bots are "rotten", I mean when you download them, and also when using them.
Some of them have built-in trojans and other kinds of nasty crap such as virii, worms aso. while some other do load them during the sofware download.
If you're worried by your security and your PC's health, know that by downloading these bots, you put yourself at risk. You should better think twice before downloading this kind of programs...
What do PTC owners do to prevent the use of auto-clickers?
Well, several measures have took place in order to get rid of this. Many POs did even set up several different anti-cheat systems, as one alone could be not enough to spot a bot. This can include
- Login page with touring number (CAPTCHA)
- End of timer with CAPTCHA, or at any other time in the ad
- Cheat links (a link clearly noted as "cheat link do not click", but the bot will only see a link, not read what's specified above, and will click even though)
- Session time out
- IP monitoring
- Simple questions or mathematic operations asked before accessing the ad or after the timer is finished
Other measures that I'm not aware of do certainly exist too...
In conclusion, If you began PTC, it's certainly because you like it, it's not a hard job, and well paid for what has to be done. If you want to be paid for it in the long run, cheating the program is really a bad idea.
If you find it's a too hard work...then think about quitting PTC and do something else.
Advertisers wants to show their ads to real people, and as long as this happens, they'll keep on spending money in PTC, and we will keep on earning...
So...think twice....for your earnings, and for your computer health, DO NOT USE AN AUTOCLICKER!

My opinion :
Though it's still a bit early to have a firm opinion about Clickyu, I think it's a very promising site. Seeing their offers concerning upgrade and advertising, I did something I've never done and upgraded immediately. I'm now Member4 life and got my 5 referrals (who by the way are active ones>> I do precise it because often sites do not check if the refs they allow are or not active)
Concerning advertising rates, the site seems sustainable.
03/27/2008 UPDATE :

Server problems?
SCAM ?
Don't know what to think about, but CAUTION!!
Will keep you all informed

I was doing my daily clickings when I clicked on an ad for a new program which is still in prelaunch.This new site is Buxplus.org and will be on prelaunch until tomorrow. So this is the time to catch in and begin your referral quest!

NO MINIMUM PAYOUT !!
The last week was very active concerning PTR for me. After 2 weeks, I began to check all the "Paid to" programs I belong to since recently, and to separate those I would keep and those I would unsubscribe from.
This is not always an easy task...
When it is only about removing scam programs, the decision is not hard to take, but, as I'm revolving around the "Paid to" sphere since quite a long time, I do not very often sign into blatant scams anymore (happens sometimes though, lol). So this jobs consists more in supressing those who are not working for me.
This because of various reasons, including (but not limited at) :
- the weak amount of mail received
- what I earned during my test period (this depending also from the payout minimum at a particular site)
For example :
- Program A sends me 10 mails/day at a 1 cent rate, and the payout minimum is $10 (I obviously keep)
- Program B sends me around 10 mails /day at 1/4 cents rate but the payout is $2 (I'll certainly keep)
- Program C sends me also 10 1/4 cents a day but payout is $10 (I'll certainly unsubscribe)
- Program D sends me 1 cent link , but only 2 a day (I'll certainly unsub too)
Programs I unsubscribe from are NOT TO BE classified as scams. If ever I notice there's a evident scam in "Paid To" sites I'm member of, I will cleearly label it and write a warning here in my blog.
The second part of my last's week job was also to find new programs to test.
Sites I unsubscribed from :
Matrix Mails (allthough this is a very good site with established reputation, I receive such a low amount of mails that it'll take me ages to reach payout)
AdPaid.com : Same problem as Matrix Mails (in worse for me : I signed up on 02/12/08, and so far made only $0.0321)
Sites on hold : Updated here !!
Kooplinks (I just love this site, the webmaster and the staff are super nice, but not much clicks for me. HOWEVER if you like Paid To Signup, it's a great site ! and the payout is only 0.02! That's why I have kept it "on hold" right now, I'll take my decision later, the site is still very new)
Sites I signed in : (they're all reviewed in detailed posts )

Wordlinx is another good and established program I joined last week. They have been in business for over than 4 years and have almost 57000 members.
They have also a different approach on PTC, as you can directly use what you've earned through your cliks to buy visitors for your own advertisement campain.
Make sure you join their mailing list as they'll pay you upto 5 cents just to read their update mails, and you can also earn from $0.01 to $0.05 for emails sent by advertisers through that mailing list.
Membership :
$0.01 per link clicked (as a free member you'll receive around 4-5 links daily, sometimes more, sometimes less)
$0.005 per referral click
Minimum payout is $10 through Paypal
You an buy referrals at $1 each, but they don't always have available referrals to buy, however, when all are sold out, they do give a date when you'll be able to buy .
They have 3 different upgrades :
Verified Membership $5 per year :Verified Buyer Status Tells advertisers you can buy online, and your own ads are targeted at other verified buyers
100 Visitors will be Added To Your Account Advertising sample, worth $2.10 (once)
Premier membership $10 per month : you will have the verified status +
Unique Visitor Targeting (Each member can only click your link once)
Visitor Location Targeting (Target regions like America, UK and Europe)
Half Price Visitor Fees (5% + $0.50) >>Pay less when buying visitors
Pro membership $25 per month :Same features as Premier membership +
Half Price Visitor Fees (5% + $0.50) >Pay less when buying visitors
Half Price Banner Ads (just $25 p/m!) >Pay less when buying banner advertising
Half Cashout Level (just $5 instead of $10)
2 x Affiliate Earnings (10% per sale) >Earn double when your referrals buy visitors
2 x Referral Earnings (10% per click)
2 x Referral Bonuses ($0.10 each) >Referral must click an advert to qualify
2 x Upgrade Bonuses ($2.00 each!)> Referral must upgrade to qualify
3 x Bonus Earnings ($0.45 per $10!) >Earn triple bonuses when browsing ads
1000 Visitors Added To Your Account
100 Visitors Per Active Referral (Referral must click 50 adverts to qualify)
Advertising :
Wordlinx has different means of advertising, at rates beginning at $6.50 for a full campain (to the whole member base)
You can also advertise to the 4500 confirmed e-mail subscribers and the price begins at $59 (for $0.01 mails) up to $249 (for $0.05 mails). These will be unique visitors, as only one e-mail will be sent to each subscriber.
Obviously you can also choose banner advertising. For $50 per month., your banner will be displayed at the "browse ads" page and will be seen by all the members.
As of today, I'm fully satisfied with this program, I'm not upgraded and have no referrals, and I did earn around 40 cents in a week or so, which is a very honnest rate.
I foresee to upgrade as verified as soon as I can, in order to receive more ads daily.
I'm confident about this site, as it's in the business since more than 4 years, and are also sustainable.
