Obvious signs of a scam PTC site?

A large percentage of PTC sites are scam sites or unsustainable. These can quite often be avoided using a few key tips to inspect each PTC site you join

How much are the "paying" per click?

Scam PTC sites usually "pay" a high amount per click. Sometimes up to $10 a click. No advertiser in the world would pay that much for 1 click to their site. Be wary of any site offering more than 1 cent per click. Site that offer more than that are quite often scams and are trying to convince you that you can earn lots of money per click and hoping you will upgrade so they can steal your money. Be very careful and check out the site before joining. What is the total value of the ads available to click?

If a PTC site is offering you more than 4 cents of ads per GUARANTEED day to a free member then it is highly suspicious. A lot of ads (especially on newer PTC sites) are self-sponsored meaning that the PTC site is paying for the ads out of their profits. Too many of these ads means that the PTC site is unsustainable and will not payout for long.

How much does advertising cost to buy?

If a PTC site is selling hundreds of 1 cent views for a matter of a few cents then they clearly are not sustainable. A PTC site is a business and there is a need to ensure that the money in is greater than the money out. If something looks too good to be true or it seems to be unlikely that they can afford to be run in the manner they claim/promise, run away as fast as you can from the site.
