"Paid to" springtime clean

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)

- not in my advertising priorities, so no refs, and earnings which do not increase


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 )

10Bux : The advertising hit of the moment... (review done, click here to read)
Hugebux (review done click here )
BuxOne (review in "construction")
Wordlinx (review done click here )

WORDLINX

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 +

1000 Visitors Added To Your Account

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.

My opinion

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.

Kooplinks

If you've read my post about "springtime clean", you've probably noticed that I was a member at Kooplinks, and that this site was "on hold" concerning my decision to keep it or leave it.
Astonishingly (and I'm happy to have waited before deciding), just a few days after I wrote that post, the number of links available to click increased significantly (for example, today I had about 10 links to click, which is an honnest rate).
That's why I review this site now, as I choosed to keep it.

I'll not enter in details concerning Kooplinks. Their choice and variety of possible advertisings, as well as different premium memberships and referral packages is so wide that it'll be much better for you to see for yourself at their site.

Here 's just a little general information :

> The site opened on Feb 7th 2008
> You get paid $0.0025 up to 0.01
> The minimum payout is $0.02 (2 cents)


My opinion :

This site climbed at almost 9000 members in less than a month, and the communication skills from owner and staff did certainly much to bring this site were it is now.
I already loved this site and was a bit dissapointed when I saw I had not much to click on. Now that ad rate did increase, I'm very happy to have decided to wait and think before leaving.
What I love with this site is the very low payout (remember, 2 cents !), this payment can even be automated to receive it daily (when available on your balance) through Paypal Mass-payout.
Communication coming from staff is remarkable since the beginning concerning informing members on updates or anything important.
The choice of advertsing means and upgrade possibilities is so huge that I doubt I could find more at any other site. (at least not at those I'm member of)
To summarize, this site is almost perfect, and best from all, is also sustainable!

My opinion

Nice site with around 5-10 ads per day.
The membership does however not grow very fast, and this site has still a long road to travel before it becomes a big hitter. But there's no reason , with a little more promotion, why they shouldn't progress.
Advertising rates are cheap, but still sustainable and with many options.
I look forward for their forum opening (still in "coming soon" ) and proofs of payment.

10bux

10Bux started the 19th february and I did sign up a few days later. If you're already involved in "Paid to", you certainly saw a huge amount of ads for this site. It is also already very popular and counts now more than 12 000 members.

Membership :


Join Bonus : $ 0,05
$ 0,01 for every click you perform
$ 0,005 - For every click your referrals performs
Payout $ 10,0

I'm not upgraded and I receive around 5 to 10 mails a day
My earnings as of today are 48 cents.

If you upgrade you'll have the following benefits :

*Ability to see when your referrals were last active!
* Earn 5% if your referrals purchase a premium membership! That means that if a referral of yours purchases a lifetime premium membership, you'll get $11.25 automatically added to your balance!
*5 cents for every referral your referrals purchase! That means that if a referral of yours purchases a 500-ref pack, you'll get $25 automatically added to your balance!
* $0.015 each click (50% increase!) and $0.01 each click from your referrals (100% increase!).
* Priority Payments.

Cost of the upgrade varies depending on which you choose :
1 month is $9.90
1 year is $69
Lifetime is $225

You can also buy referrals at this cost :
5 members set $9.95
35 members set $59.65
100 members set $ 149.95
Limited! 500 Members set $599.95


Advertising :


They charge $1.99 per 100 members visits and each visit will last at least 30 seconds. Outside visits are unlimited and included within the price. Bigger packages are given at discounted rates (see here). They do not accept websites that promote adult content or illegal activity or sites that use frame breakers.

Particularity one of the greatest benefits of advertising with 10Bux.net is if your ad stays active for a long enough time, it will be picked up by search engines like Google and will give your site an extremely high page rank because you are linked from a high traffic website!


My opinion :

A site that promises much.
The admin is the same as PaidClicks, and however I don't belong to this site, it's webmaster has a very good reputation and is known as being one of the owner making the fastest payments.
Checking at the advertising rates, this site is sustainable.

Cash-Linkz

SITE CLOSED !!

I became a member from Cash-Linkz already 2 weeks ago, but, as the site was down for necessary features adding, I thought it would be better to wait before writing a review.
Now the site is back online and running smoothly.

Designing of this site is simple and clear. Characteristics are as follow :


Membership :

Each ad click will give you 1.25 cent ($0.0125).
Payout $10 through Alertpay

I'm not upgraded and I get around 10 ads per day to click on.

Upgrading will give you the following benefits :

- $0.015 for each ad clicked.
- $0.0125 for each referral ad viewed.
- Priority Payments - Expect to be paid within 3 business days!
- Minimum of 20 ads daily (soon)

Premium Membership is $55.00 for a 1 year.

You can also buy referrals onsite, they have a 35 referrals package for $35


Advertising :

Advertising plans begin at $1.50 for 100 unique visits (more here)

I have no referrals and my earnings as of today are $0.7875.


My opinion :

My opinion , considering the site was down often since I did sign up, is that my earnings are not so bad when taking this fact into consideration. Now that they're back online, I'll have to see if they still continue to deliver the same amount of clicks everyday.
Considering their advertising prices, this program seems sustainable

Isabelmarco's moneymaker

Isabelmarco's moneymaker is one of the latest site I signed in this week. I do belong to their membership since only 2 days.

What attracted me?
They took the time to translate the whole site into many languages (obviously english ; german ; dutch ; spanish; portuguese), and even if some translation errors can be spotted here and there, I find it's a nice and new idea, showing respect to their international members.

Membership :

$ 0.01 for each website you personally view ($0.015 if you upgraded premium)
$ 0.006 for each website your referrals view ($0.012 if premium)

Payout is $9. Payment requests can be made every day and are processed through Alertpay.

Price of the upgrade to premium is $8 for one month and $60 for one year.
You can also buy referrals (upon availability), they have different sets from 5 , 15, 35, 100 or 500 refs (price of the 5 refs set is $6.80)

I'm not upgraded and Since I signed up, I got around 20 ads to click every day, and, without any referral I did already earn 47 cents

Advertising :

Advertising plans begin at $3 for 500 visits ( for a detailed tarification you can see the prices here )


My opinion :

Though this site is still on test by me, it seems promising. I'll however give my personal opinion later, considering their ad prices.
Taking them "as is" makes the site unsustainable (they pay 1 cent per click, but if you divide $3 /500, the result is only a bit more than a 1/2 cent. However, this is not the only thing to take into consideration to see if a programm is or not sustainable...)
