Update april/30/09

hey everyone,

sorry it has been so long since i have updated! well first off i been busy
the last month or so looking into buying a new car. I finally bought
a new car this weekend and now trying to get into the swing of paid to click
again. So here is some updates

letsbreakrecords.shiftcode.com -has officially closed there doors.
One i tried to log in and can't. Then at the top i see please pull
all banners for let's break records and then i read on
makethatcashmoney.com that it is gone with no notice of
it disappearing. So its gone...good news is i don't have to make up like
i was doing. Bad news is i did offers that mean nothing now.

famousbux.com- this site has officially decided to only pay preminum
members so i quit. sorry but i am not paying to be paid

notsotricky.com-is having a database problem. its been going on for 2 maybe
3 weeks now and still nothing has changed. i am going to give him a while
longer because it is a database error showing up and admin's can
go for weeks without checking there paid to click site. so going to give him
time and hope he will redeem himself.

vegasbux.com- is gone, atleast for now. to sum up what i am about to post below
basically no funds and to many cheaters so they are moving to a new
script. no clue how long it will be or if they will actually come back,
but i can hope :). heres vegasbux.com message.

During the past 5 months two things have happened that have greatly
affected the Vegas Bux business projections. While we have received
abso;utel;yu no advertising dollars for December, January, Febuary,
March and so far all of April, there has been devastating medical
downturns in the health of one of the founders. With no funds coming
in for the past five months, we have struggled to keep the lights on
and the taxes paid. Now, we are at an important decision.

Vegas Bux will be shutting down while we build a more up to date
product. May if the sites that are currently successful with both
advertisers and members are smaller, simpler, and have built in
revenue streams that keep cash flowing on both sides of the
transactions. They are not so dependant on advertising of other
sites in order to bring in revenue. Without revenue, there are
no funds to pay members. These sites also reduce the loss incurred
by the vast number of Asian members who have proven to be estremely
time consuming in the non stop cheating tactics that we have to
endure daily.

Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Once we open with the new site, current members will find that
the referrals they aquired on the old site are there waiting for
them. Hopefully, the new format will prove to be what we need to
get through these global insecurities


an last...instead of making you wait for me to write every week i decided i
am going to post all the payment proof i have gotten in the last few months.
i realize i really don't got the time to do this every week so i am
just going to write when i have something and leave it at that.

but alrighty all, i will try to post some sites i been paid by in the next
few days so keep checking it out!

Update on the following as of april 9 09

Sorry i have not updated you in what i am doing in such a long time. life has been very busy. so here is some information i would like to report on.

-dealbarbiedollarclick.com is now dollarclickorsignup.com

-247bux.com, they are having trouble paying there members and they want you to join a site where you pay them to click on ads so officially took 247bux.com off my sites i recommend list!

The following sites have closed, and here is my guess as to why each one closed.

-trafficbux.com-never updated the site after 2008 so i suspected it was gone,
but thought maybe it would come back since its done this before. but think
the site is officially gone and i only had 2 dollars left till cash out!

-honeybeepoints.com-need to update my post saying this site originally paid.
this site use to have a great reputation before the old admin quit.
however, it was sold to a not so great
admin. the admin ended up getting the debt from the old admin and also
the new admin had a bad reputation. an then of course she had members getting on to her about her reputation and her not paying them so after all the complaints from everyone i imagine she closed based on everyone giving her a hard time.

-getafreeappleiphone.com- i finally reached 5 dollars and its gone. not sure
what happened with this one. i thought this site would be around for a long
time based on the customer support service it provided and the great reviews
about this site. but i guess it just could not afford to keep up.

-perfectbux.com-just was not fair. they did the free members wrong. first you got had to earn 10 dollars, then next payout you had to earn 20, and then 30, 40 and then it remained at 50.with only getting 2 cents a click and 50 dollar cash out you knew this site was not going to last. especially since most users refuse to pay for
membership.they made no minimum payment for members, but free members no.
with the payment alone i knew the site would not be around much longer and had slowly
started quitting.

Sites that i requested cash out, but doubt all ever be paid and here is my reasons why

-internationalclickers.com- i joined this site in 07, finally reached payout thanks
to a new admin. requested cash out in january or feb and still have not
got paid. right now my payment is in que. think i should of gotten paid by now.

-clickersheaven.com- site went offline. with the admin having 10/15 sites i surely
thought i would get paid...guess not.

-5centminimum.com-joined this site in 07, requested, they said they paid.but
dont see the money in alertpay. wrote them asking if i had to have
a higher account to get paid, have not heard back from them. thinking
either they wont pay or there just a busy person and have not gotten around to it.

-meansbux.com- owner of 247bux.com owns this as well. this site is now being
redirected to payee.com where you have to pay to click ads and get paid.seriously
doubt all get paid. i don't recommend joining, remember "don't pay to get paid"

-247bux.com- this site is now being
redirected to payee.com where you have to pay to click ads and get paid.seriously
doubt all get paid. i don't recommend joining, remember "don't pay to get paid"

feelbux.com-been waiting for 3 months to cashout but they say you can't cash out till
the new upgrade...its been over 6 months since they said they would upgrade and admin
has not been responding.i consider this site now a scam and recommend everyone to stay away.

but as you can tell i have been trying to do paid to click sites, just been busy that's all.

laters all :)

Added sites i rcommend to blog!

On the right side below labels i have added a section called sites i recommend.

These are sites that i have personally done and got paid by. I personally believe these are the best sites to join right now because they are easy to earn cash out on!

So check out recommended sites on the right side below labels and see what your missing!

247bux.com disabled for atleast 3 months

so just to update anyone who signed up for 247bux.com. They posted today telling everyone to stop investing and to stop clicking due to a lot of problems with the site which seemed to screw up the cash flow. Here is his exact words. But to put it simply he says he cant pay for now but will pay everyone he can and believes he will be back in 3 months after all the problems are fixed. His words:

Dear, members

We cannot run 247bux anymore, we have a lot of problem about cash flow for pay to all members, we have some money for pay by priority but we want to pay to you all. We want to stop anything that you can earn in our site and want to pay to you all until finish.

247bux will back to normal maybe in 2-3 month (when all member receive money) and we will work on this site again.

Premium members please request your payout and i will pay by queue as soon as i can until finish.
Standard members can request payout by queue but i will pay to premium first.

Sorry for all situation that happen in 247bux but we won't close this site and back to normal after we pay to all member and ready to open again.

Love you all

Indy

i know most would give up on this site. But this site has been through hell and back and he HAS paid me after coming back from hell so i am going to trust his word for now and hope in a few months it will be back :)

Update for January/7/08

There is a lot of news to talk about an normally i don't talk about news if i have sites to talk about but this is an exception.

1)-First off everyone knows i did anythingfree4you.com. Well this owner owned Smileyfreebies4you,cashmonkiesjr.com and cash4crusies.com. She has sold these 3 sites. She owns cashmonkies.com as well but i have no clue if she is going to sell it or what she is doing with it. But for now she has not announced anything. An i don't know if she is going to keep anythingfree4you.com. Last we heard she was having family problems before she sold the 3 sites listed so not sure what is going to happen.But she also owned alabamaptc.info . Alabamaptc disappeared if you remember so not sure what she did with it, i think she was looking for someone to take over it an i guess the person who took over probably closed it. An i believe i am currently doing another site of hers (i think it is hers) so i am hoping nothing is going to happen to that site (will talk about it later if something happens).

2)-cashmonkiesjr.com was sold to the owner of letsbreakrecords.shiftcode.com. I currently do letsbreakrecords and i am waiting on payout (will write review for it next week). When i joined letsbreakrecords it was a gpt and ptc site. However, when the new owner came in an took over letsbreakrecords she changed it to a gpt to site. An she has changed cashmonkiesjr into one as well. I am bummed out by this greatly. I have nothing against the owner personally, she is a very nice fair owner. But i must admit i don't agree with some changes she makes to sites that do have offers.

a)her big rule is this. lets say you have to have 10.00 to cash out. Well when you cash out 5.00 has to gpt an the other 5.00 can be ptc. Basically 50% of your earnings has to be gpt no matter what the amount half has to be 50%. What upsets me is NO WHERE on letsbreakrecords does she say this.Not on home page, member page, faq, news or email. If she had this listed somewhere i would not be bothered or upset as much as i was. But i hate not having all the info. The only reason i know this information at all is i wrote her asking how to cash out. So doing this site requires a lot of memory, adding and time. An time is the hardest thing for me. i go to work at 6 in the morning get home at 6:30 at night an then do my list of sites. I am definitely not a gpt to person thats for sure.

b) i must admit this owner is very fair though. I wrote her asking about payout an she said my earnings was this. 3 dollars was gpt, 4 was from the previous owner, and rest was ptc. An although i am suppose to have half gpt she still letting me cash out. So the owner is very fair and kind an try's to work with her members. Because of this i am continuing to do letsbreakrecords till i have 6 dollars. the reason i am doing this is because in her email to me she said was worried about everyone cashing out the old owners earnings. So i decided well i did 3 dollars gpt for sure, and 1 dollar fee for pay pal (yeah i know 1 dollar is a lot, but oh well). So decided to earn 6 dollars doing gpt to make up for the 6 she paid me that she said she is going to have a hard time paying. But i am only doing this because she is a fair and kind owner an i don't feel right quitting and taking her money . So at least if i give her what i should owe her back i will feel better about leaving.

Despite some of the negative stuff i have said i think she is a great owner. She cares about her members. An she tries to help them the best she can to get offers completed. She has a how-to on how to cash out offers. An she schedules days of chat where everyone gets in the chat an basically gives there advice about how to complete certain offers. I STRONGLY recommend this site if you are new to gpt because it has a lot of great information. if you want to do gpt i recommend this owner on top of the rest, the owner alone makes the site great an will be sure to treat her members right.

But my point about writing about the owner a little bit early is that if i do get paid i will tell you that she does pay. an if you want to do gpt and you join and like letsbreakrecords then i will recommend you to join cashmonkiesjr as well. An i also wanted to let you know how the new owner works so that if your not a gpt to person like myself, you at least know what your in for before continuing the site.I personally have quit cashmonkiesjr.com an will quit letsbreakrecords as soon as i have 6 dollars. I am not a gpt to person, i don't have the time or energy to keep up with all the offers i have completed. I have tried to be a gpt to person based on letsbreakrecords. But i have to admit to defeat an say i am not an i was meant for ptc!

3)-if you were doing pay2surf.net (like i was) the site has closed due to the economy. However, they hope to come back in 6 months. Just right now they don't got the money to be paying people (at least they wanna come back).

4)- will be writing a review about rewardtv.com, don't recommend joining so keep an eye out for that post!

5)- besides all that i have heard from club.live.com. My package has been sent today! I am very excited about this. An they gave me a ups.com tracking code....thats impressive!!!

6)-i have a couple of sites coming up that i am so close to payout i can taste it lol. Very excited about this as well.

Thats my news. Keep tuned in for new posts!!!

Update Dec/30/08

So i have just a few announcements i wanted to discuss with everyone.

-Well right now i am in debate on if i am going to talk about sites that i cashed out for but have not been paid by. I think from now on i will give it a week to see if my cash out has been canceled or not. I cashed out the other day at a site an my cash out was canceled so i figure all wait till i am for sure the cash out is going to happen.But please keep in mind when i do post about a site if it says the site name an requested please remember I HAVE NOT GOTTEN PAID YET. when i DO get paid i will replace requested with paid. The only reason i post about a site before i get paid is to keep up with sites i am waiting on payment from. Also i post so that you can read up on the site, get all the details an decide when i DO post payment proof if you want to join or not, kind of like an advance notice of a good site.

-Well if you read ambers blog on my blog. She wrote a post about mycashhoney.com and honeybeepoints.com. on mycashhoney.com she said she was not paid nor was she on honeybeepoints.com. She wrote the new admin (on honeybeepoints.com) an old admin(mycashhoney.com) an the new admin said she would contact the old admin. But since then she has not heard another word an is pretty sure she will not get paid. This sucks because i am in the same boat because i was waiting on another cash out from honeybeepoints.com and for my first payment from mycashhoney.com.I must admit i am kinda bummed out to not be discussing mycashhoney.com.But i guess thats the way it is. An what also sucks is the only reason i joined them both is because of amber so although i want to hold on hope, i know if ambers writing about it i guess i need to as well.Here is the link if you want to read it in ambers words http://www.emeriandjonahscloset.com/ejc/aj/?p=710

-I have 2 sites that i have requested cash to talk about an one site that i have been paid by to talk about. An since i do things in order i wont be talking about the paying site for another 2 weeks (this first week, next week second week). But don't worry the sites i do got to talk about are pretty great an i am excited to talk about them all :).

-I wanted to re-point out something today. When joining a site PLEASE read the faq, home page an also search online for information. Lately i been joining sites that say they cash out at 1.00 an then i join an its 10.00! So seriously do your research. I will be posting more tips i have come up with when i get a chance.

-One last thing. If your are wanting to do paid to click or thinking about it. Make a separate email account for just paid to click. I strongly recommend using gmail because they got the best spam filter i have ever seen. In one day i at least get 1000 spam emails in the spam section of gmail!!!

But thats it for now. Thanks for checking out my blog

Update for Nov/17/08

Hey Everyone,

Well another week of no payment. But i can guarantee Sunday i will have a site to talk about! I should of meet payment Sunday but Saturday ran around an Sunday i read some depressing news and just decided to quit clicking for the day...the depressing news is the following..

Now 247bux.com requires you to have a verified paypal or alertpay account. I cant lie this sucks.We didn't get no announcement and only reason i know is because i read the rules above the request payment before i was about to cash out to make sure nothing had changed but it did.So far this is my favorite and best earning site...so this really bring my hopes of paid to click providing an extra income for me down :(.

But i want to point out a few things i am tired of sites doing...an what sites now a days (the new sites) are making required of you in order to get paid...so here goes

-I am so tired of sites making constant changes. saying one thing, doing another an then going back to what they had in the first place (stick to one thing)!
-I am tired of sites that i joined because they said they paid by paypal. Then changing to alertpay only after i joined days later (i got 5 sites on my list because of this).
-I am tired of being required to post payment proof on the forum to get paid or else my account will be canceled
-I am tired of having to provide proof that i am a honest member
-I am tired of sites saying standard members are cheaters...when most aren't (admins i know you aren't doing your homework when you say all standard members cheat). An if you keep calling standard members cheaters i promise we will leave an your site will bomb...we have more control then you think!
-I am tired of sites sayingbuy referrals. I hate the idea of referrals period so just tired of hearing it
-I am tired of sites that say they have paid to click an then i got to the site for a few weeks and i don't see but one ad every few months. Don't advertise you have paid to click unless you provide one click a day atleast!! I have 4 sites i can't get rid of because of this reason.
-I hate offers. I have 4 sites i cant get rid of paid to click wise so doing offers to get rid of them an yet none of my offers ever stop pending or they are deleted...this sucks. I work hard to do offers an then i never get paid for them what a rip!!! Trust me i will be complaining big time about these sites once i reach cash out (one day).
-I am tired of sites now saying in order to get paid you have to be a premium member, that just wrong!!!

Sorry for my venting but its getting old fast! I am tired of keeping up with there new rules. If you change the rules send me an email an let me know!!!

Besides that i want to say if you want to get into the paid to click industry please get a alertpay account. Paypal is dieing out (sadly) an well the majority of sites now a days take alertpay. An lots of sites are starting to stop offering paypal due to paypal being tired of paid to click sites. So if your going to do paid to click just get an Alertpay account don't bother for paypal unless you are purchasing things online!

But this is it for now will have something to talk about sunday! Hope you all have a wonderful week

-Rach

Payout methods

i realized on some of my recent posts i have not posted what the payouts options these sites had. So i updated the posts that didn't tell you what payment options you had. However, the only blog post i did not update was Sites that paid me in 2007! Most of them i told what payment methods they used at the time, some sites i didn't say so and forgot to. But i do want you to know at the time i was apart of them they ALL accepted paypal. But It could be different payment methods now so i would check them out again if you were interested in any of them but didn't have paypal!However, i am sure they still have paypal.

Now i am not going to update it on account of some sites don't tell you there payment method till you log in to the site. an well since i quit them all i lost my account at a lot of them (for not being active) an don't feel its right to update only a few sites. for me its all or none. So decided for this particular situation to update none. However, all sites that are not in the blog post Sites that paid me in 2007, i have updated all those blog posts to tell what there payout methods our!

But thats it for now, will try to remember in future posts to say what payment methods each site accepts!

Update for Sep/26/08

Hey Everyone,

Well i said once i started getting paid i wouldn't write updates for a while (unless i didn't have payments). However, there is something going on that is affecting my earnings (an many other people) at some of my new sites i joined which is why i am writing the update.

Lately paid to click sites have been having DDOS attacks. I know most of you don't know what this means so theres a pretty decent explanation (from wikipedia) below or can you trust what i am about to tell you. Basically its when a website is being attack by a person using a program so bad that a site can not load pages an no one can get to the site. Here is an example, you know those slow websites you go to where it takes forever to load one page? The reason that happens is when a lot of users use the site and the site can not handle the many users on (or else the slow loading happens because you have dial-up internet). But anyway a ddos attack is the same thing except the attacker uses a program to make a website think theres a lot of users on it and basically brings the website down. The difference between the 2 this when you go to a slow site eventually the page WILL LOAD when you got to a site with a ddos attack it will basically tell you the site don't exist.
But anyway basically the attackers are getting mean because if you go to this site
http://www.ten-ads.com/ (which i am not apart of this site right now) but basically if you read it you will see that whoever is attacking there site is basically threating the owner of the site an saying pay up to stop the ddos attack! which its against the law to do an also its just rude!!! i hope the guy who is responsible gets caught an has to pay the owner the fine!

but besides that...well boomertowne.com is being pronounced as a scam (at gather.com) as of last sunday (21st of sep). Basically the site has not paid anyone since around may 2008! an the site went down the day before sunday. Which i am pissed because i was waiting on 100 dollars an was going to use it to put flooring down! but i am even more upset for this one lady who had 300 bucks owed to her! there is a group of people at gather.com who do a lot of reward sites (thats how i found out about the site) an there all basically saying the site is gone an that all those people who were waiting to be paid basically getting screwed. I must admit i am pissed at what boomertowne.com did. If they couldn't pay they should of stopped doing the reward stuff or they should of told us they couldn't pay an say they will pay us when they can. But shouldn't of just closed the site down an walked away. if this site EVER comes back...i guarantee a lot of users WONT be doing it unless boomertowne.com apologizes and pays everyone what they are rightly owed!Although i am mad at boomertowne.com i am going to give them till december before i report them ON MY BLOG as a scam. because gather.com might be saying to soon that this site is gone.

i guess on some better news me an scott (husband to be) started our own site. Its called game-army.com. Right now we are waiting on 100 users to join and then we want to start a part in the site where the users who plays the most games per month gets a reward! We hope to come up an do some better ideas then just this in the future but for now just trying to get ads going an users joining so PLEASE JOIN GAME-ARMY.COM

But this is it for now, tune in sunday to hear about my next paying site!

A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted, malevolent efforts of a person or persons to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even DNS root servers.

One common method of attack involves saturating the target (victim) machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer(s) to reset, or consume its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.

Denial-of-service attacks are considered violations of the IAB's Internet Proper Use Policy. They also commonly constitute violations of the laws of individual nations.[1]
