Hi,
I have seen many PTC paid to click websites they get traffic for advertisers, is it a good way to build traffic?

— useful question and good starter replies from and . Rather than a blanket yes/no, the best approach is a short, measurable experiment that answers whether PTC moves the needles you care about for this site.

Run a controlled test. Pick a single, simple conversion (email signups or a click-to-offer are good micro-conversions). Build a stripped-down landing page just for the test and give the campaign its own UTM tag so the traffic is isolated (for example ?utm_source=ptc&utm_campaign=test1). Limit spend and run the test for a fixed window so results are comparable.

Measure behavior, not just raw clicks. Compare PTC traffic to other channels on conversion rate, pages per session, average session duration, return visits and downstream revenue. Compute cost per acquisition with CPA = total_spend / conversions. Watch for fraud/low-quality signals: very short sessions, many hits from the same IP blocks, identical referrer patterns, or conversions that don’t generate downstream value. Those are signs to pause and investigate.

If the test shows usable micro-conversions, consider using PTC traffic primarily for low-cost list building or retargeting rather than expecting direct sales. If quality is poor, reallocate budget to intent-driven channels (search, niche placements, or targeted social) and keep experiments small. Finally, double-check the terms of any ad or publisher programs you use so the test itself doesn’t create policy problems.

Yes, you may receive ONLY the visitors; that are of no use. Because we wont purchase anything from your website. Moreover, if your website's main income is advertising then please note, PTC is not allowed by the advertisers, for example, by AdSense.

What is PTC and what is the difference between this and adwords...

Member Avatar for thewebhostingdi

PTC and AdWords are totally different. PTC programs provide incentives to click on links. Visitors are getting paid to view your website. Whereas Adwords is for search engine marketing and it does not allow incentive to click ads. AdWords is CPC program in which publisher gets paid if visitor clicks on the ads. However, owner of the website can not provide incentives to click on AdWords/Adsense ads.
