chocsie's comment on Webs ...
Great site!
I started with this site about 5 years ago when the previous web hosting service I was using decided to shut down. It was (and still is) the best free service out there, so I figured I should give it a try. I must say it was a lot better than the first website I used. It had the perfect option for beginners, with great layouts and stuff, but I chose the advanced option with HTML, since I had experience. I've tried them both and I find them both really good! Especially the beginner one, you don't have to sit and code anything, so I found it great! The only things I didn't like about WEBS was the fact that I had a webs.com domain name(which I can't complain about since I used the free version), and also the ads and the 'Freebar' which I find quite annoying. Other than that, I think it's an awesome opportunity for everyone to start a great website online without much hassle!
chocsie's comment on Link2Me ...
Not impressed
I joined this site after reading all the positive reviews posted all around the web. The signup process was simple, and I got started immediately. Within hours, I started receiving link requests. At first, I was really excited and I approved all of them(since my website category was general, all links are allowed on my site). But then I realized that most of the sites have exchanged over 100 links and that they will be posting mine on their 6th page of links. As if anyone would randomly surf the "Links" section until page 6, and then decide to click my link out of the 20 others that are on the page. Another thing is, I used to post all my links on the sidebar, meaning they would show up on every page. No one else does that, so I moved all the links to a special page on my site. Also on some other sites, you have to scroll right to the bottom, and find a little link to their "Check out these links" page that no one who wasn't specifically looking for it would ever find. Sure, maybe the backlinks will increase, but I have other ways to receive backlinks to my page, not posting their link on my homepage while they post mine on a page no one will ever see. And I don't see any increase in my traffic because of this service. Also, (and this has happened about 3 times for me) after I've added other peoples' links, they don't add mine for a really long time.
Everyone else has amazing results with this site, so it makes me wonder if I'm doing anything wrong. For now, I will stick with this site just to see if things improve, but if not, I would definitely quit Link2Me.
chocsie's comment on Bidvertiser ...
Might work well with people who have more clicks
I joined this site while looking for a google adsense alternative. I was looking for a site that paid through paypal and that preferably had a lower payout minimum. I came across many sites saying that bidvertiser was the best alternative so I decided to give it a try. It seemed pretty good, with a $10 minimum. I published some of their ads on my site and they were well targeted, but I didn't receive any clicks at all. I think until now I've only received about 4 clicks in total. The payment for 3 of my clicks were around $0.04 but my other click gave me $0.40. Maybe if I had a lot more visitors who were willing to click on my ads, I would have cashed out by now. I also wished they would have a CPM system, because it would make it a lot easier for everyone to reach the minimum. In the end, because it wasn't getting anywhere, I just decided to take the ads off my site and find another alternative. I think this site would be great for people who generally get a lot of clicks on their ads, but not for people with little or no traffic.
chocsie's comment on EasyHits4U ...
Quite good
Easyhits4U was one of the first sites I ever joined. I'm not really that active on their site, but I do think it's quite good. I don't really have the patience to sit and wait for the timer to get to 0 before clicking the correct word, so I use more autosurfs. But then I realized that autosurfs don't pay you $0.30 for every 1000 sites you surf, and that they are only good for increasing the number on your hit counter. I once promoted one of my PTC sites on EasyHits4U, not because I needed referrals but because they had a PTP section, and easyhits4U was a good place to promote. But after assigning only 20 hits to the page, I already had 3 referrals. You don't get these kind of results with autosurfs. Easyhits4U also has bonuses and a 1:1 surf, which is better than any of the other manual exchanges out there. I still haven't reached payout though, because it would require some referrals or tons of surfing to get there and I haven't had much time. It's great if you want quality traffic, but if you're doing it just to make some extra cash on the site, it might take a while.
chocsie's comment on InfoLinks ...
Didn't work too well for me
I joined InfoLinks about 5 months ago to give it a go on my blog and see if I could make any money out of it. Many people had no problem at all earning $100 a month, so I figured I could give it a go. The signup process was smooth and I was ready to get going in no time. I got the code and placed it in my site. The thing I like about this is that it isn't as intrusive as banner ads etc. and it actually looks cool. However, despite receiving tons of views to my blog, I never got a single click. I decided to see what kind of ads they were placing in my site and they were all just "Find the definition of (the word highlighted) in thefreedictionary.com (or something along those lines)". I guess it would have been ok if the words they highlighted for this ad were relatively unknown words, but they used words like "dog" and "food" and "life". I don't think there is a single reader out there who doesn't know what these words are. So why would they click on them? I also had other words on my blog that would have served better, but since this whole idea wasn't working out, I just took the code off my blog and now I've resorted to other methods to making money out of my blog.
chocsie's comment on Widget Bucks ...
Didn't work for me
This site didn't work for me. I installed the widget on one of my blogs correctly, hoping to make some money out of it, but I left it on for 5 months and nothing at all! It's not because I didn't receive any hits at all, at that time I used to get at least 400 unique hits everyday, but my eCPM and earnings were always $0. I don't know what was wrong because they used to display the number of hits my site got correctly, and most of the hits were from countries that were paid for. I also received a few clicks on my links, but still no earnings. For pretty much everyone else I know, this site has gotten great results, so now I'm starting to think I did something wrong, but still, I thought it was a waste and I took it off my blog. I personally haven't had a good experience with this site, but with so many positive reviews it must work well for nearly everyone.
chocsie's comment on You Cubez ...
Not such a great site
I joined this site about 2 weeks ago, mainly because I liked all the colorful cubes. From what I've heard, the site seemed genuine. So I signed up and decided to add money so I could buy a cube. The minimum I could deposit was $2, and so I did, even though I was only interested in buying a cube for $1. I found an offer where someone was selling a cube that had a $30 value for only $1, and so I bought it. I added the link of a PTC site to my cube, and it got accepted within 2 hours. That is one of the good things about the site- everything is very fast. Then that ptc site went scam, and so I tried to change the link of the cube to one of my blogs, and it charged me $0.50 for it. After the admin reviewed the site, it got rejected. I didn't have any inappropriate content whatsoever on my blog, but it might have been rejected because it had a CPM code on it. The cube's link went back to my old scam ptc link. That extra $0.50 I paid for a link change just went waste. This site is great if you can stay with one link the whole year, because I've only been there a fortnight and I've received about 200 hits to my page. Too bad I'm not going to benefit from showing people my PTC link. So anyway, I added about $5 cube funds to my cube and tried to sell it (now valued $35) for a $0.12 profit. I got lots of offers for the cube, but they were all for $0.01. If I sold it at that price, I wouldn't be making a profit, so I denied all the offers. I didn't get any good offers after that, so I had to remove it from the For Sale list. Now I'm hoping that after adding more cube funds, I'll have some interested buyers.
Another thing is the cash cubes, the cubes that pay money for clicking them. I almost never get any cash cubes to click, and I'm lucky to get 1 cube every 3 days. And when I do get a cube to click on, it's only worth $025. It will take me forever this way to reach the $6 payout for standard members, but I'm only staying with this site because I want to earn back the money I wasted with advertising on this site. I wouldn't really recommend this site to anyone unless they either aren't going to buy a cube, or they are going to advertise a link that won't require changing it until the advertising expires.
chocsie's comment on Bux Service ...
Not worth my time
This site pays $08 per click, not $0.80. It says so on the site, and I've been a member there for 3 months, and I haven't received a single click for $0.80. I'm not sure where you saw that. Also, every now and then, I can't access the site for over 5 days, but then it comes back up. I don't know if there's something wrong with my connection or not, but I'm beginning to think this site may not be legit. I first joined this site as part of a referral exchange, and recently the person I joined under told me to stop clicking there saying that bux-service is a scam and that they never got paid by them. I have now stopped clicking there, but just out of curiosity I checked out their payment proof section in their forum a few days ago and it was filled with spam posts about drugs, music etc. Also, I've heard people say that they post fake proofs in their forums. I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm not going to waste my time clicking on a site that doesn't have such a good reputation, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
chocsie's comment on InterAdMedia ...
I wouldn't recommend it
I'm not sure exactly when I joined interadmedia, but I know it was when they were still paying $0.01 per minute. I thought the rate was pretty good and I managed to make $4, but then they changed the rate down to $01 per minute, and with the payout still at $25. I'm not sure I can reach payout because I don't search that much. I actually remember my first search I performed on the site- it was for a proof of payment from Interadmedia. I never found any proofs but I thought the site might still be new and they haven't paid anyone yet. But after a while, I realized that I hadn't seen a single proof yet, and so I searched it again and this time it came up with results of everyone claiming it was a scam. I decided not to waste my time on a site that I'm not sure actually pays it's members, and I don't think I would recommend this site to anyone.
chocsie's comment on Adgitize ...
Didn't work for me
I joined Adgitize about 6 months ago, and before that I'd only heard good things about the site, so I figured I'd give it a go. I joined as a free member (publisher) and somehow it didn't work for me. I know that not advertising with them has contributed to this, but the ads wouldn't even show up on my blog. I talked to the admin about this and he was really very helpful, but the ads never showed up. I'd been clicking lots of ads and all that, but I only earned 1 cent a day with them. For 2 weeks I kept trying to figure out what I did wrong, but I didn't see any faults in what I did. I read all the blogs with Adgitize help and still nothing. Finally, I decided to quit using Adgitize because earning only a couple of cents a day (the highest I ever earned in a day was 2 cents) would take me a few years to reach payout and I decided that it was just not worth it. Also, having ad blocks on my blog that said Adgitize at the bottom but no actual ads showing up looked a little weird. I know this program has worked for lots of people out there, but somehow it just didn't work for me.
chocsie's comment on Trek Pay ...
PTC with a twist
I've been with Trekpay for about a month now, although I haven't been too active until about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I made a list of pros and cons though. So far, I have $2.38.
PROS:
- Paying all members
- Don't have to wait for countdown timer
- Lots of ads daily
CONS:
-$5.50 payout-- not easy to reach if you don't have referrals
-No fixed amount per click
-Low earning despite so many clicks
I managed to get 2 referrals on Trekpay, however I don't know if they're active because you can't tell by looking at the referral page. However, I'm not earning any credits at all from them. I still think this site is pretty good, but only if you can get quite a few referrals.
chocsie's comment on Palmbux ...
This is one of the best PTCs
I think Palmbux is one of the best PTC sites. As a standard member, I earn a little more than 3 cents a day without any referrals. I think if you upgrade, this site is better than neobux because the upgrade is cheaper, and you get pretty much the same rates. Even the layout of this site is good. The only thing I don't like about palmbux is that there are never any referrals available for renting, and it would take people quite some time to reach payout without any referrals. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend this site to everyone because they always pay their members and this is a great opportunity.
chocsie's comment on Free Traffic Bar ...
Great Concept
I think the Free Traffic Bar has a great concept. I didn't have to surf any sites at all, and I still got so many credits. However, I think traffic exchanges are more effective because you get guaranteed views to the page you're trying to promote. However with the Free Traffic Bar your credits will be used as Toolbar Ad Impressions. I think a lot of people don't pay any attention to the ads shown on the toolbar and so people don't get any views to their site and they get all their credits used up. Some people are getting lots of views to their site, but I (as a free member) am only allowed to add 3 Toolbar Ads. I added 3 and assigned 200 credits to each of them, but when I checked back the next morning all 600 credits had been used with not a single view to my site. The CTR was 0%. I think my word choice was pretty good, and so I don't know why people didn't click on my ads. Since I'm still quite new to this site, I'm going to stick with it for a while longer since. I've only heard good things about them. However, I've had better results with traffic exchanges.
chocsie's comment on Obeus ...
Great earning opportunity
I think that Obeus provides quite a good earning opportunity. Their payout is a low $1 which is really easy to reach compared to other sites like Google Adsense. They also have many forms of payment which I find quite convenient. I know that they pay all their members. Their site is also really easy to navigate around and their ad blocks look good when you customize them. I myself have only reached $0.40 but I've only been there for about 2 weeks. I think everyone who can get at least a few clicks on their site should check out Obeus because I'm sure they'd like it.
chocsie's comment on Blogsvertise ...
I don't like Blogsvertise
I joined this site about 6 months ago, and at that time my blog was getting about 800 hits a day. I submitted my blog at this site, and they approved it within a day. Surprisingly, I haven't received a single task till today. This might be related to the fact that my blog is about animals, dogs in particular, and maybe there weren't that many posting jobs available related to dogs. I don't have any referrals, and therefore I haven't earned a single penny from their website. Based on my experience with this site, I would not recommend Blogsvertise to others.
chocsie's comment on LinkBucks ...
Quite a good site
I've joined quite a few sites that offer the same service as LinkBucks does, and I've found that LinkBucks is the best and most popular amongst all of them. It's the easiest to navigate around, and they've been paying everyone, whereas some of the other sites I joined haven't. LinkBucks is great for people who can generate a lot of traffic to their sites, but for me I've only managed to rake in $0.07 in 1 month. I haven't been using their service very actively, but I still log in once every week or so. Still, I would recommend this site to everyone, even those who don't get too much traffic, as even a few cents are better than none.
