Chapter 6 - The Ideal PTC
The ideal PTC of course does not has nothing in common with bux sites. But what a real PTC should have?
Only real advertisers
And zero self sponsored ads period.
Fast payments (& very low payout)
Real advertisers mean a PTC which is not ponzi scheme. Payments can be very fast because owner has already money and will not have to wait funds from investors. With low and fast payouts, users will "see" very fast money in their AP/PP account and will not have to click for 6 months in order to earn $5.
Sustainable rates
Sustainable means low <$0.004/click. More advertisers will be attracted. These rates will be effective only in case a real script is used. Ref bonus up to 20-30%, no ref/premium pack sales
Part of sustainable rates, ref bonus is low. Ref click must not be the most important thing at a PTC site, but advertisers. And because we know that ref packs are bot packs actually, site must not offer such options. It is Paid To CLICK, not Paid To REFER/UPGRADE/INVEST
A real PTC script
The most important thing after advertisers: A script which will protect advertisers and ensure that all members will view their ads. Users who are using ESC button and IFrame blockers will not be credited. The same rule applies with users who are surfing at multiple sites at the same time. Autoclickers and exploits, finally, will have as a result a ban only. Script will also include and some advertising filters (demographic etc). If a PTC in future can have a script like this, traffic quality will be better and therefore advertisers won't have problem to pay more than $1/1000 clicks.
Some PTC sites (wordlinx, linkgrand) have real advertisers and sustainable rates, but scripts are not advertiser friendly. These programs are very slow earners, because of high payout. The ideal PTC does not exist. On the other hand, ideal ponzi scheme can be considered a bux, although the money amount which is involved is low. Scammers will have somehow to "gain" experience for biggest tricks...
Chapter 7 - PTC Life Cycle
Mostly this is the life cycle of bux sites. Bux sites average will survive from one week to 3 months. Max bux sites will survive for a year, unless they turn to bux.to schemes (also depends on the number of fools).
Person A says: Hello, I am A. Here is my site [link]. Fast payment (~3 days), low payout ($1-$3), many ads (7+), all self sponsored of course.
Person A is very helpful and active in all forums.
Two to four weeks later...
Person A: Payout now increased ($5-7), standard members will be paid within 15 business days. Bot factory have just "opened".
Person A is still helpful and active in forums.
Two to four weeks later...
Person A: Payout now increased ($10), standard members will be paid within 30 business days. Site now sells only bots. Some limitations may be announced.
Person A is not so helpful and active in forums.
Person A: Sorry it is not my fault (but members' fault who didn't invest their life savings, or site was "hacked"), I cannot run this site anymore. Health problems, busy in "real" life, college, exams, family member died etc is a reason which will be given. Site is for sale or gone.
Members cannot contact Person A...
Person A changed his name to Person B.
Person B says: Hello I am B. Here is my site [link].............
This is the life cycle of a bux site in most cases. This scenario of course cannot cover all cases. Many bux sites opened and closed at the same day, while other "dead" sites were up for months even if all members stopped investing!
