CB Pro

Click Bank Pro is a Click Bank initiative which they claim is the best alternative for Google AdSense. But unlike Google AdSense, CB Pro is a CPA based advertising program. Google AdSense provides CPM and CPC ads, which guarantee assured income. But CPA model does not guarantee this. You get paid only if your website visitor buys a product or service after clicking the ad. Signing up process with CB Pro is free and doesn't have website auditing. After sign up you have to select from 10000+ products that you would like to promote from their marketplace. Then you get an HTML code that has to be pasted in your website/blog. You can earn up to 75% commission per sale. That can be up to USD $ 250. Not only that, you can also earn from subscription products.

mGinger

mGinger is a mobile phone related utility program for which you earn for receiving promotional sms and calls. Similar to YouMint, it also allows you to send free sms to friends via its messenger that can be loaded into your mobile. It also allows you to download free mobile games, provide great offers and discounts from stores in your locality and many more. For every sms you receive, you get 20p. You also get paid for promotional calls that you receive. You can set your preferences in your account. Your mobile number should not be registered in the National Do Not Disturb Registry. If your mobile number is registered in the National Do Not Disturb Registry, you wont get any calls or sms. You can earn more by referring more people into it. But always make sure it is not scam before you do that.

YouMint

YouMint is a very successful social utility program gaining popularity very rapidly in India. It mainly targets mobile phone users. It comes with a program letting us to send free sms to any mobile network in India. It also provides a platform where you can not only download free mobile contents but also create and sell mobile contents to friends like wallpapers, screen savers, etc. Sign up process is simple and short with just sms(/email) confirmation ie you will have to activate your account by entering an activation code that you will receive via sms(/email). This means each member should have a unique email address and mobile number. Also on sign up, you receive a Rs. 500 worth gift voucher. With this you will get Rs. 500 discount for purchases of Rs. 2500 and above from Online Shopping Mall HomeShop18. This offer is valid up to Jan 15th 2009 only. Recently they were also giving out an offer during Xmas season. If you added 5 new members to YouMint you get a chance to win talk time worth Rs. 50000. So how can you earn from this program, here's how. You get
  • 20p for every sms you receive.
  • 20p per mail you open.
  • 10p per email your direct referrals open.
  • 5p per email your referrals' referrals open.
  • 50p per referrals you refer.

The pay is very low. So it may take months to earn a good amount. So if you are a person who checks your mailbox regularly, it may work for you.

Bux3

Another PTC site very similar to Bux.to. You need to click the given links and view the pop-up website for 30 seconds to earn USD $ 0.01 for each website. You also get USD $ 0.01 for each website your referrals view. On sign-up you get USD $ 0.05 as sign-up bonus. Payout requests are made through Alertpay with a minimum limit of USD $ 10.00. Multiple accounts per household is permitted only if you have unique valid email ID and Alertpay address. One main bug with this program is that in order to lure people into registering for this program, they show as much as 20 ads in the "Surf Ads" page. But after login/register its less than 10. With just 10 ads a day, its not worth spending our valuable time on it.

Allindianjobs

I think it will be a repetition of the post "Netjobs4all". Large, bold headers read
"Indians Earn Rs.25000 Every Month"
"No Investment. Free To Join."
and they are displaying a lady holding "Dollars"!
The only difference would be that here you will be getting online surveys instead of data entry forms. In fact this site is actually an advertisement of another online survey site viz. Xcel-Online Surveys. My advise about this site would also be same. There are some true online survey sites on the net that I am going to discuss in my future posts. So please peep in regularly.

Netjobs4all

This is one example of what I discussed in one of my earlier posts(Click here to view). Big bold captions on top and nonsense in between, but the only difference is that its free. The site particularly targets Indians as their caption reads.
Earn Rs.50000 Monthly!
The theme of the site is "Online Data Entry Job". So what should we do? We have to register our email address so that they can send the data entry forms which we should complete as per instructions. After joining, till date I never received a single form. What I received were a lot of spam emails from their partner websites with advertisements of similar programs. I hope I need not tell you to keep off from such a site.

RupeeMail

RupeeMail is a whole new concept. Unlike PTC sites, in the RupeeMail the ads are sent straight to our email which is registered with them. You just need to open it and the credit gets added to your account immediately. More reliable and easier than PTC, it consumes less time or no time at all. In RupeeMail for each mail that you receive, an electronic stamp is provided. When you open it, you get the amount entitled with that stamp. I got Re.1.00 to Re.0.25 per email. Too less I know, but comparatively higher than PTC sites. For every referral, you get Rs.2.00. You can refer by 3 different ways.
  • By an email containing your referral link.

  • By banners that can be pasted in your websites and blogs.

  • By a text link containing your invite.

Payout is via checks that will reach you in 3 weeks time and is absolutely free for withdrawals of Rs.200 or more. I recommend this site to all my readers. The only problem that I could find is the numbers of mails that you receive. I receive only an average 5 mails a month. Still I don't find any fraud in it. So you may proceed.

Desibux

From the very first look at the website itself we get a sense that it is a truly unprofessional site. The buttons were not properly arranged and the texts were located all over the place. One fraud that I noticed immediately was that first of all when you browse it shows many ads(I saw 8), but after joining you don't find that much.
Here is what they offer.
  • USD $ 0.005 for each website you visit.
  • USD $ 0.0025 for each website your referral visits.
  • Premium membership which is a distant thought costs you USD $ 9.99 but the pay gets doubled to USD $ 0.01. Even then it is far less compared to other sites.
  • Payout is processed via Alertpay and the minimum payout is USD $ 5.

Please be careful with these sites and try to stay away. It seemed to have got removed from the net.

ClixSense

I believe they tried to imitate the name of Internet Giant Google's immensely successful online advertising service-Google AdSense. But the difference is that Google AdSense is a state of the art program with over thousand million viewers a year, whereas ClixSense is just another "Non-Sense" doing the rounds on the net giving away false promises for free. Here are those promises.
  • 1 cent for every click you make. This way in 2 months I just earned 17 cents. That's less than a cent a day.
  • 1 cent for every free registration you refer. Previously it was 10 cents per referral. For referring you have the option of only emails which often gets filtered by spam filters.
  • Pay up to 5 levels deep for each referral who upgrades to a "Premium Account". Only Premium members get this benefit for which you need to pay USD $ 10.
  • 10% of the revenue earned from the ad placed by your referrals. This is also for the Premium members only.
  • Win up to USD $ 5 from Clixgrid. This is their worst ploy to cheat. Being the only other means to earn other than PTC(which is not at all profitable), members are lured into it. Its a grid which contain 15x15 slices. As a non premium member you get 20 chances a day(Premium members get 50) to randomly click any slice. Then a new pop-up window will open. If you are lucky you may win. I have never won and I doubt if anybody else have ever won at all. But every time we click they are surely earning because the pop-up that appears is an ad. I surely appreciate their idea but don't recommend it to any one reading this blog.

Neobux

I came to know about this "Bux" site from the above mentioned Bux.to where I viewed it as a PTC ad. So I was not sure whether to go forward or not because Bux.to itself is a cheat. And a truly professional site would never advertise on such fraudulent sites. On the welcome page they displayed that you get USD $ 0.02 for every site you view and USD $ 0.02 for every site your referrals view. Interesting haan...That's twice that the previous site pays. But wait! this is only for golden members which would costs USD $ 90 for one year. A little mathematics will help you understand how much they are aiming to loot you. To earn back USD $ 90 you need 9000 clicks(in one year)! Taking into consideration the daily average, this is next to impossible!
The pay varies with the type of membership viz. Pioneer, Standard and Golden. It is as follows.
  • Pioneer and Standard Membership
    Per click: USD $ 0.010(Standard view) , USD $ 0.015(Extended view).
    Per referral click: USD $ 0.005(Standard view) , USD $ 0.010(Extended view).
  • Golden Membership
    Per click: USD $ 0.010(Standard view) , USD $ 0.020(Extended view).
    Per referral click: USD $ 0.010(Standard view) , USD $ 0.020(Extended view).

I still cant figure out what the difference between Standard view and Extended view is.
The minimum payout limit scheme is innovative enough as their tag line says-"The Innovation in PTC". It is set at USD $ 2.00 for your first payout request, USD $ 3.00 for the second, USD $ 4.00 for the third and so on until USD $ 10.00. Another innovation is that everyone in a household can join. But...the catch is that only one user per IP is allowed in 24 hours. That is, the same story is said in a different style.
Now the cones. As is with some other PTC sites, very less ads for a day. It would take weeks if not months to reach the minimum payout amount. So why cant I earn via referrals? I believe my referrals will also think the same way as me and loose interest soon. And if you don't sign-in for more than 60 days your account gets terminated. So is it innovative enough? You decide...

Adbux.org

Another one of the popular PTC sites, it comes with a more flexible policy. It not only provides PTC ads but also surveys and offers for which you get a much higher pay. You also get paid for shopping online. PTC ads pay around USD $ .003-.01 for viewing for a particular amount of time. It may vary from 5 sec-30 sec. But the problem is that you don't get enough ads everyday to make a handful amount. The problem that I encountered with this site was that I didn't get credited every time. To prevent fraudulent services like auto click, auto surf, etc after viewing the site for the specified amount of time we are prompted to enter a numeric verification code. Then only the points are credited to our account. But I was not lucky enough. Every time I did it a red cross appeared(but not all the time). With that alone I cant say that its a fraud. But "Offers" were really annoying. They provide very less number of offers, most of which are not free. The offers that has a high pay(as much as 50 points) wants you to make a purchase for successful completion. When experience has taught me not to trust any of these sites, how can I trust their affiliates. But I still tried some of them which were absolutely free. One of them was Spoke.com which required us to just sign up and proper email confirmation. Also there was an offer which just required us to just download a software. But... neither worked. I don't know the reason, but the points were not added to my stats and also they did not give me an explanation-whether it was incomplete or disqualified. This was enough for me to give it a "Fraud Certificate". And about the surveys, there were no links to take any surveys...anywhere. I believe surveys are just for premium members only. Now its up to you to decide whether its a fraud or not. Some sites claim that its the best PTC site on net.

Bux.to

There are many PTC or Pay To Click programs available on the net. Bux.to is one such program which is gaining popularity day by day. The process is simple and easy. You will be provided with a limited no of links everyday usually 10-14. You have to simply click the link and view the pop-up website for 30 seconds. A counter will be displayed at the top left corner of the page and if your action is a valid one, a green tick mark appears and your account gets credited with one cent. The referral program is quite interesting. You get 1 cent each for sign-up and every click that the referral makes. Here is what the site offers.
Earnings Example
  • You click 10 ads per day = USD $ 0.10
  • 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = USD $ 2.00
  • Your daily earnings = USD $ 2.10
  • Your weekly earnings = USD $ 14.70
  • Your monthly earnings = USD $ 63.00

The payments are processed through Alertpay with a minimum payout of USD $ 10.

One flaw that I discovered was that once you view all the links in one particular category, you will have to refresh that page. Otherwise, on completing 30 seconds an error saying "Not Logged In" is returned instead of the green tick. Another flaw that irritates me often is that at the time of log in/registration even after typing in the right value, it returns the error "Invalid Verification Code Entered.".
I had a nasty experience with the site. With just 10-14 ads per day, it will take months to make a decent amount. So I started referring my friends and relatives. I managed 10+ referrals within a month and I was making USD $ 1 everyday. On reaching the payout limit, I requested for the payment. The request was sent and they displayed the message "Pending Audit". And...they have being displaying that message for almost a month now and never send an email regarding the payout request either. I believe they don't have a third status message excluding "Payout Sent" and "Pending Audit" as the key suggests. I would definitely suggest you not to join this program as per my experience...even though the reviews about it in some sites are good. Multiple accounts per household are not permitted.
