Paid to Click (PTC) sites are just some of the most common money-making sites online. There are a lot of advantages why people prefer to join Paid to Click sites- commonly known as PTC sites. First, knowledge is not a big requirement here. All you have to do is click ads for a few seconds, usually 30. After which, a few cents are credited to your account. Second, the payout is also very low. There are every some sites that do not require any minimum payout. Thus, even if you have cents in your account, you can request instant payment right away.

Most especially in the paid to click industry, there are a lot of fake sites you might accidentally stumble into. They take advantage of those people who are innocent and novice in this industry. These scammers can get money from you, waste your time, or worse, steal your identity.
Therefore, It is important to investigate the legitimacy of the site you are about to venture into before you even commit your precious time and effort. Remember, Paid to Click sites are like mushrooms sprouting everywhere online and most of them are just scams. They can either be legitimate at first but turn out to be scam in the end.
Here are just some helpful tips you can consider:
1. Google It
If it is the first time you encounter that site, it pays when you research. Try typing the site’s name and the word “scam” next to it. See if there are any results that talk about that site being a scam. For some reason, bad gossips spread faster. People who are disappointed in their experience with a particular paid to click site would normally warn everyone.
2. Payment Proof
Check for blogs that post payment proofs from websites they have already earned money from. For bloggers, posting payment proofs drive traffic to their sites, making their recommendations credible and increase their referrals as well.
When researching, you can type the name of the website plus the word “payment proof” next to it.
By the way, it is more reliable to see screen shots of their earnings. There are some people who simply present a table of their earnings. If you can also ask them how long they were able to reach payout that would be best
3. Forums and Discussions
Sites like Mylot, Make Money Kingdom, PostParker are just some of the most common discussion sites where you can get honest and raw information from people who had bad experiences from these paid to click sites. At the same time, these are the venues where you can also get the good and legitimate ones.
Most importantly, if you have finally decided to venture into your chosen paid to click site, make sure to locate their Forum page. Normally, members share best practices and ideas in this section of their website.
4. Support
A good PTC site has on-time support. If you need assistance, they respond to you right away.
5. Judgment
Always practice judgment. If that site is offering you more than $.01 per click, start doubting. Unless that site has hundreds of advertisers, it is hard to sustain a reward that high. Most of the time, it will just end being a scam.
