This thread captures the classic PTC pattern: a handful of curated lists and hopeful operators, several members warning about scams, and questions about whether clicking for cents is worth anyone’s time. started the resource list, flagged the scam risk, and questioned value to users and advertisers, and a few later posters offered or sold PTC sites. Those are the recurring themes worth calling out up front: most PTC sites are short-lived, many use referral/upgrades as the real revenue engine, and advertisers often receive low-quality or bot-driven clicks.

Practical vetting checklist (use before signing up, depositing, or advertising):

  • Check domain history and ownership transparency. New domains or hidden WHOIS are higher risk.
  • Insist on verifiable payment proof. Transaction IDs from real payment processors or blockchain TXIDs beat screenshots every time.
  • Read payout rules closely. High minimums, withdrawal fees, or “upgrade to withdraw” requirements are red flags.
  • Analyze the site’s revenue model. If payouts rely mainly on membership upgrades or multi-level referral commissions, treat it as unstable.
  • Search for independent, recent discussions and complaints. Threads where owners repeatedly claim “we were hacked” are a known exit-scam pattern.
  • Do a small test: earn or deposit a tiny amount and request a withdrawal before committing more time or money.
  • For advertisers: require conversion tracking and block/refine traffic from PTC placements; measure CPA not just clicks.

If the goal is sustainable income or effective advertising, PTC rarely scales. Alternatives that track real value (targeted search/social ads, affiliate offers, or legitimate microtask/CPA networks) usually give far better ROI and measurable conversions. For anyone running a PTC site: transparency, reputable payment processors, realistic economics, and independent audits are the only ways to gain long-term trust.

isn't the whole idea of surfing and clicking randomly just a waste of time??

Some may consider being online a waste of time to begin with. I wonder if these PTC programs are beneficial for the advertisers.

I use to click on some of the PTC on this site

www.paytoclick.co.nr

The owner shares his profit and has a good list.
Btw, my favorite is neobux! I have a lot of free time in my office, so a few clicks will not make any bad :)
