What do PTC sites gain in return?

Profit of PTCs

This is the most obvious question. Okay, I am clicking on ads, and not even viewing one properly, and I am getting paid. This is sounding too good to be true. Why would the sites give away free money? What are they getting in return?

Well, the answer is simple. The sites are, in fact, not giving away free money. To make this easier to understand, I need to give you some details.

The sites have a two faced operation: one deals with the affiliates, that is you, and the other deals with the advertisers.

For example, an advertiser has to pay a PTC site 19 dollars for 1000 clicks on his site.

So when you click his ads 1000 times and get 10 dollar @ .01 per click, the site profits 9 dollars.

When you and your referral each click 1000 ads each, you get 10 dollars + 10 dollars, and the referral gets 10 dollars ,making a total of 30 dollars.

Since you two have clicked a total of 2000 ads, the PTC receives 19*2= 38 dollars, getting a profit of 8 dollars.

The calculation goes deeper, but it is not of our business to ponder.

The bottom line is, PTC sites do get a profit from each ad we click, and we get a share of the profit.

As a side note, I will give you the benefits of the advertisers from the sites.

Most advertisers include writers of books, or innovators of programs, who cannot usually afford advertising in television, or newspapers. The PTC sites give them the opportunity to advertise their products for a very low price. Out of 1000 viewers, even if 10 buy their products, they will profit greatly.

However, the internet IS full of fraudulent PTC sites that normally operate for a short time and close once you get very close to payout.

That is why you should stick to about a dozen pay sites at once, and observe the site for at least two months before actually purchasing referrals and upgrading to premium membership.
