I have been hearing a lot about all this PTC and PTR and PTP and so on. So I have decided to try some of them to see what the hell is all the buzz is about. What a waste of time. I have joined a few of them (ADBux, trafficSwarm, Bugonptc and etc.) First thing I have noticed is that they have two sorts of memberships, free and paid. That pretty much told me right off the get go that they are scam. Any company that wants their “employees” to pay for the previledge to work there is a scam. That just does not make any sense to me. As a free member You certainly ain’t going to make much at all. In fact it will cost You more to run Your computer than what You will make there. And all those so-called points that You might earn get You nothing. I have gotten thousands of points towards having my site rotated in their manual surf programs yet the most that my site has been rotated is 12 times.

I have also thought of purchasing credits. I did so with the BugonPTC. For $10.00 I have purchased 25000 visitors. In the last three days I have received only 46 new visitors from them. So, that’s about 15 visitors a day. If being generous with the data it would take more than 5 years for that project to complete. That’s bullshit.

The subject of this programs has become very interesting to me so I will keep looking through the pile and keep You updated.

By the way I would suggest also not purchasing any programs that offer a very quick way to make thousands of dollars. I know You have been warned about all those programs before, but let me remind You ones again. Think about this. If those so-called millionaires really make that much money of the programs they promote than why do they all look like they have just escaped from the trailer park or a looney bin and why do their sites look like crap. Some of them actually admit that they aren’t really selling anything but the ad itself. You’ll end up paying a $100 dollars for the cheap ass website that You would have to spend a whole lot of time and money to promote. This programs are failing all over the place. Especially because google as well as many other search engines don’t like spam. It is cheaper to actually build and promote a real website, get it to, for example, PR5 and sell it. Good websites promote themselves all You have to do is spread the word. Junk sites never get anywhere, require tons of time and money for promotion and usually only seen in supplemental index and spam indexes.

Whatever You do, don’t try to make a quick buck as You will only end up paying more for it.

I was asked why I have so much advertising on this site. The answer is very simple. I am trying to figure out which of them:

1. Show the most relevant ads
2. Easier to maintain




3. Do bring income

So far I have found that Google’s adsense while showing relevant ads (most of the time) does not pay for the clicks. Time and time again I have checked my account only to find out that the clicks bring in less money than no clicks at all.

Bidvertiser I find the most disturbing. I have approved many ads and the most relevant possible. However they only show the those ads that have no value and some of them lead to sites that are just crap. Bidvertiser demands a lot from publishers while not even checking who or what the advertiser is. I am continuing to run their ads only because my testing period has not ended. But if they do not improve I will remove them and certainly aren’t going to use their services as an advertiser.

I have being using Adbrite for a long time now and while I find their new pricing policy terrible I also find that they are one of the best for publishers so far. You are able to set the pricing for Your site and enter a competitors ads. I use Adsense to set the limit for adbrite. So if they do not have advertisers who are paying a minimum required amount Adbrite shows Adsense ads. This way I am not loosing at all.

I also have started to use the Entireweb advertising program (the ad is at the bottom). I am interested in them very much as i found them to be very good to advertisers. It is also a good bonus that they are a search engine.

I will keep You all updated as to how my testing is going.
