How Risky Are Ptc Programs

Today, the ptc clickers are rocked again due to the closure of p2c daily which is one of the ptc programs proven to be a paying one. The reason is death in the family of the owner. I don't know the truth about that but ptc owners always had a reason to close and that's one of the risks in joining a ptc program. How risky it is? I can say 8 out of 10 will not last. How about you fellow clickers?happy

I think most are too risky and don't pay. They just eat up your time and effort. I agree 8 or 9 out of 10 are worthless and don't pay or fold. I only do 2 sites that I know pay and have paid me over and over. I used to do close to 50 different sites...only a few paid, but later closed up. They sucker people in thinking they are going to make big bucks, but it really doesn't pay when you consider you are only making about .50 per hour max. [creativedreamweaver]

PTCs are always risky. If you are lucky, you can find really good ones. I have found some which are more thann 12 months old right up to 5 years old. I have found those really reliable so far. I say so far because I have only been doing for 6 months. [cookie1971]


I think some are risky and some are not. If you don't invest anything into them, no risky. If yeah, it can be very risky if you don't know the legal rules, Dear Friend. Many blesses, Joe [mahjonggg]

You are on target, although there are a few exceptions. "Inbox" is one of them, I've been paid twice and well on my way to a third payment. The other exception is "My Points". I have earned several gift cards and they ship very fast. I've been a memver of "5 cent minimum" since 2006 and been paid several times. Email pays you since 2001, been paid. "DonkeyMails" since 2006. "Owl Post" since 2006. If you want any of these links email me and I wil give u a link. [TexLadyPj]


I think PTC sites are just not profitable therefore the close soon or later. i think 10 of 10 PTC sites die soon or later. The only exception I can notice is neobux. This is time proven site with more than 2 millions members. I think this site is really trusted. I do not believe in no other site because it looks like all others will turn into scam for some reason. I know there may be some serious reason to close site in these cases I do not blame the owners. [dieorfly]
Before neobux, there was worldlinx, it's 5 years old now. I think matrixmails also exists after many years. Include also clixsense into the trusted ptc programs! [learn2earn]


Where have you read this that P2Cdaily is closing? This is an interesting news since I have just finished my rounds of ads there several hours ago. I haven't seen any problem at all since it gets back from host server problem. [sirrob]
You are right. I just went there after I posted my firs response and see the big, bold red notice that it is closing. Well, at least I am still new over there and still spend less. So another one down in my list. [sirrob]


PTC's are very risky and will always be risky. It is even more painful if you have an upgraded account that you paid for and the site closes down. I heard that site was one of the reliable ones so it is a shame it closed down. It might open again in the future. I agree with your assessment that 8 of 10 will not last. More than half of all PTC sites are scams. I have some PTC sites in my profile that are pretty reliable and they pay. [jakeb1]

hello my friend,during my absence here on mylot i also stop that ptc,site...coz it so risky to join for you will do some effort to earn just a little one but we ended up a losser so i only concentrate my search engine that gives me a reason to stay..and now im back to mylot...goodluck have a nice day [marketing07]

Ptc programs are risky that's why we shouldn't invest to those sites.. [gracie04]

As long as you don't spend any money on referrals or for an upgraded membership the only thing you risk wasting is your time, which I know is worth a great deal. However, I've been involved in PTC programs for quite awhile and I learned to be cautious about which ones I join and I don't waste too much time on them until I know for sure they pay. I'm in at least a dozen of them that have been around a long time and have consistently paid out in a timely manner. There's always chance of any business or site going out of business due to a death in the family or whatever but that's not something that happens every day by any means. I think the best thing to do is to work with a group of people and share your info on which sites are good and which ones are a waste of time. Annie [anniepa]

It's very risky! I had been very excited when I first stumbled upon the PTC concept. I honestly believed I would be earning thousands of dollars per month if I kept at all 40 PTC sites. My experience has taught me to be extremely sceptical, and to thoroughly vet any new PTC's and their claims. For now, only one PTC site has paid me .... two or three more have payments pending to me - and about 6 have taken my earnings and run off! 8 out of 10 will not last? I would say that is an optimistic number! :) Happy myLotting! [cooler1968]

I think almost all of them are risky. One moment you see them and in the next they are gone. Though there are PTC sites that are really good but I don't know much of them. This is the reason why I have not joined any of those PTC sites. I concentrate on article writing, and forum posting to earn online. [jpso138]

Of course it's risky - but as long as you invest nothing, it's ok. You never know , even when thay're on line for lots of ime, when they're going to dissapear. Or, take for example TTG, lots of aids, on line or almost a year, but when I requested the payment, I'm in a line that's always changing. At first there were 2345 people in front of me. Than they were 2600 (more than in the beginning), than it went down to 2312, and now back to 2365. That's just telling me, I won't get paid. It's always trial and check - lucky or not! If you have the extra time, continue to click without investing. Otherwise, not worth our time. [ladynetz]

All PTC programs are not risky. We need to opt from them. They cannot go through completely well always. There are 100s of PTC programs online. We neet to be careful else we will lose money. [eyashwant]

hi friends...i do agree with...but coming to my case, i did try ptc programs...i have got myself registered in about 30 ptc sites....but i got fed up clicking ads in them, which takes me about 2-3 hours a day to spend on clicking ads on these ptc sites...but i saw that some sites crash down after few days or some pay after 3 months or so after we reach the payout level....and it does take us much time to reach the payout level without any referrals..so if they don't turn up to pay us or if the website crashes or whatever might happen...then all our hopes and energy we have put in all these days will go in vain...so i thought that ptc is not that best to earn...and i have turned up my mind to spend that time on mylot, where i can spend time to put in my ideas into writing and learn something new or get in touch with people by interaction and ofcourse earn through it also, and it does pay for sure on 15th of every month after we reach the payout level....so i feel mylot is better than ptc sites....happy myLotting!!! [vk3110]

Very very risky. :) You know, my friends laugh at me when I say I'm trying work online.I was told to leave this bloodsucking things, but I'm still here.Maybe we loose to much time in this?Ptc steals your time which you can spend with your family, your friends, go out, have a drink, relax in bed, play tennis, have a nice hot bath or sth like that.

I understand and also appreciate your question. I have delved into the idea of looking into and researching some ptc sites or gpt sites if you will over the last month or so and lost time here at this site along with money I could have been earning here. I am a little leery myself of the ptc sites as well you should. I have heard through a few ways on line that you have to watch certain click sites and how they pay and also the fact that they can close up without a moment's notice. I do one of those sites right now which is Clixsense. I have not been paid yet but I know for one thing, Mylot is working good so far. happy [bamakelly]

hello learn2earn u have rightly explained. Really Most of ptcs are fraud and scam. P2cdaily.com is proved to be a scam. All ptcs are highly risk prone. I am quitting almost all Ptcs. They attract you by paying few money to some of the members and when number of members increases they close their site. pkc3000 [pkc3000]

Now a days i think the Joining PTC would be taking a huge risk with the money market going haywire. there are many paying sites going down let alone the new ones. I think i would rate the risk as 9 1/2 By 10. [SangsTurks]

Yes, I agreed that 99.9% bux site will turn to scam, it is just a matter of time. Only those sites with low click rate & having real advertiser can sustain & pay their member. For example clixncash, donkeymails, matrixmails... [ansonkelvin]

I dont have a great experience to share with PTC sites.. Firstly it takes thousands of click to get to a respectable figure.. Some sites ask you to pay and upgrade your account so that you earn the opportunity to click in the first place.. Most importantly unlike this site which I enjoy I dont enjoy simply clicking on things which I dont even care to have a glance.. [joystick7]

I was very upset that PC2Daily closed down. I will still try other programs, what happens happens though and I can't really change anything about it. I just have to try and be careful. [Purtle]
