1. Paying? - They are... but there seems to be some who say they are not being paid for quite some time. As you can see from their banner, premiums cash out instantly. Which stopped. Also their paypal funds where frozen at one time. They say it is working but there are some who are still saying they are not being paid.

2. Password Collector? - I received a complaint from one who said that their password was taken from Godbux and used on other sites to steal their funds. Which they were successful in doing, bu it wasn't that much. This site has ties with Godbux and could be owned my the same person. If that is the case, if you plan on using this site, BE SURE TO USE A UNIQUE PASSWORD! Do this with all sites. You can see how someone tried it with us HERE.
You can read about this complaint here:

And here: Comment #154
WARNING!!!3. Connected To Another Failing Site - Like we said previously this site has connections to Godbux. Some complaints are coming from this site and the forum is current down.
GodBux admin most likely are stealing passwords from his own site to hack into your paypal, email, ptc, etc.!!!
I got hacked in stablebux, someone cashed out my money and I really think it was him, hopefully I had only $2. Check this topic in this forum, I commented in second page with username yoker88:
http://www.earnmoneyspace.com/forum/index.php/topic,23404.0.html
well, I changed my passwords and Im going to start again, I have many referals so it's not a big deal. This gave me a good leason to not use the same passwords in all sites.
Summary:
As of now we would not recommend this site to anyone. Too many serious claims are being made to even take a chance on this site. If you plan on using this site, use at your own risk.
If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so in our comment section at the end of this review.

Google AdSense | Get Paid to Advertise
However, there the things you have to be careful of. Be sure to read Google AdSense Terms real carefully. Especially if you own a site that talks about PTC sites or PTC reviews. Google does not accept any sites that include anything about "getting paid to"...this should no be anywhere on your site. If you are caught using Google Adsense on a PTC blog, they could refund your earnings back to the advertisers and your account can be banned for violation of terms.
Adsense is good to have on other sites and blogs. For instance, a site about the movie "Twilight" is a great theme for a site to run google ads. Since that is the thing that many are going crazy over.
When you place a google banner on your site, Google will try to show any ad that pertains to what your web page is about. So when a viewer clicks on that ad, you start to earn off of those generated clicks from outside users.
Be prepared to give a lot of info to google. You will go through a rigurous verification proccess. Google has to verify and get tax info from you in order for you to recieve your first payment.
Once you are verified you can receive a payment once you have accumulated $100 in your account. Your balance will roll over each month until you reach that limit. When you have done this, you have the option of being paid via check or direct deposit. For my first payment, I chose check so I can show you proof of the payment. I would highly recommend direct deposit since it is faster to receive your payment that way.
CyanBux (cyanbux.com) - Watch List
CyanBux
CyanBux is linked to several other PTC sites. It is still unclear if the network of sites are owned by one owner or if they all were sold off individually. What still remains true is that all of these sites are dead and have little life in them. The whois infor says all of these sites are owned by one owner. Current Whois Info: http://whois.domaintools.com/cyanbux.com
Pros vs Cons of CyanBux
Pros
NONE
Cons
1. No Forum - Any PTC site does not have a forum is doomed for failure. Members should be able to talk with other members to gather feedback about a site.
2. Ads are self Sponsored - Most of the ads that are showing are about their other PTC site or their own affiliate programs.
3. Owner Owns Too many PTC sites: - One too many for our taste. Means that all the energy in maintaining these sites is split. And that could be the reason why so many failed. A recipe for disaster.
As of now, we would recommend users to use caution, since this site is untested and needs a serious overhaul.
Although we can not find conclusive evidence of this site being a scam, we would not recommend this site to anyone for the reasons previously described.

1. Complaint - We have received complaints about this site. Originally we had this site on our "Pending" list. Within hours after we did our review we received the same complaint about this site. You can view the complaint here -->(See Comment #57) or you can read the copy and pasted message here:
Anonymous said...
2. No Forum - Sites without forums can be a bad sign. Although the owner owns another site onlinekyash.com, which has a forum. Could be that they owner has not got around to adding a forum to this site. You can find the onlinekyash.com forum here:
http://onlinekyash.com/forum
3. Whois Private - Owner is hiding his identity.
4. Unsustainable - According to their advertisement prices they only charge advertisers $1 per 1000 hits.
We charge $1 per 1000 member visits and each visit will last at least 20 seconds.
Take 1000 x $0.01 = cost the site $10 to show each ad. Yet they are only receiving $1 for the campaign? $9 short.
5. More than one site - Sometimes owning and running more than one PTC site can be a handful. This owner has more than one PTC, and might be more than what he can handle. Although the other PTC is currently paying its members which you can read about here:

Summary:
Site closed and left members scammed.

"2009-4-18 Cakebux is launched".
Update:
Ok we have tested this site out, and we are going to go ahead and put cakebux on the watch list due to some suspicious activities. Here are our reasons:
1. Payouts discrepancies - After a close and watchful eye I noticed Cakebux started to make some payouts. In order to reach payout you have to have at least $5 in your account. So I noticed the other day, a payout under $5. A payout was made on May 14 in the sum of $3.13. And I thought, that is odd. So I decided to check the TOS and FAQ. And sure enough. It takes $5 to cash out.
So I opened up a support ticket and asked. And I have yet to receive a response. Since then another payout was made under $5.00. Which leads me to believe that cakebux payouts are fake.
2. Lack of support: They failed to respond to my ticket, but they can update and add another payout to their site? Which is under $5, AGAIN. The site is fairly new. There is no reason for them not to be able to respond. Not like they are hill deep in making payments.
3. No forum! - A PTC site that has no forum says the owner does not care for member feedback
Until we receive a response from the owner we can not recommend Cakebux to anyone due to the discrepancies showing on their site and other issues previously discussed.

- Current Whois: http://www.robtex.com/dns/buxyou.com.html#whois
Update: Sept 8, 2009
Site Closed: After waiting many days for the site to come back on line, we have moved them to the scam list.
Members can not cash out. Both Paypal and AlertPay say try again. Sounds like another site is having funds issue. We are no longer endorsing this site. Site is full of problems. It is a scam waiting to happen.
Full Review/Site History
1. Payments - Members are unable to cash out. What was once instant has turned into a standstill. Both Paypal and Alertpay are rejecting the payouts. I serious doubt if it is a technical issue. More like a funds issue.
2. New Site - At the time of this review, the site is barely a month old. Use caution with new sites.
3. Whois Private? - Owner hiding their identity.
There are reports of fake referrals be issued as well. No surprise, to be quite honest most sites use them. We never purchase referrals for this exact reason.
Summary:
Site now a scam and closed. Please feel free to leave a comment at the end of this review if you have any experience with this site, good or bad.

TealBux (tealbux.com) - Watch List Scam
TealBux is linked to several other PTC sites. It is still unclear if the network of sites are owned by one owner or if they all were sold off individually. What still remains true is that all of these sites are dead and have little life in them. The whois info says all of these sites are owned by one owner. Current Whois Info: http://whois.domaintools.com/tealbux.com
Most are gone or dead and the rest are on "autopilot". When I went to TealBux to click on the ads, they only had one ad showing and it is self sponsored. Means that they have not updated their ads lately, because the sites that they are showing in their ads are no longer up and running.
Pros vs Cons of TealBux
Pros
NONE
Cons
1. No Forum - Any PTC site does not have a forum is doomed for failure. Members should be able to talk with other members to gather feedback about a site.

TeenPunciBux (teenpunci.info) - Watch List
- Reason For Review: Requested
- Whois Info
- Owner/Alias: Douglas Hilbert
TeenPunciBux is a ADULT PTC site.
someone asked me about it so I am giving it it's full review, this will be the first and last porn site I will review.
Note that the name itself is vulgar, so if you are going to advertise for this site or promote it, watch where you do it. In some cultures the name is vulgar. Use your imagination and I am sure you can figure it out. If you are still clueless:
Porn is porn, but when you throw the terms Teen into the mix, you are starting to cross the line. At least that is my opinion. But, enough with opinon, lets look at the facts...shall we?
We are adding TeenPunciBux to our Watch List and here are our reasons:
1. Some Complaints - A few complaints about non payment and lack of communication from the site can be found.
2. The Forum? - Oh yeah! They have a forum link, which leads to another forum. Not for TeenPunciBux though. From what I gather it is a friend of a friend who is letting the owner use the forum.
http://genuineptcs.lowcostforum.com/forum-changes-f1/teenpuncibux-t1224.htm
Hi everybody, please use the contact page to complain about that website, or when you have questions.
The admin of the site linked to this forum but i this is not a forum for the website.
While i get the free traffic, please take a look around my PTC website where you will find PTC websites that actually pay, -removed link-, and feel free to post in the forum
Thanks
Ricmetal
What is so sad about it, no one is responding to the members from TeenPunciBux. People are asking about their payments and they go unanswered. Which leads me to the next reason...
3. Lack of Support - Seems this owner is lacking in that department. When you pawn your members off to another forum for somone else to handle, it is a sign that you are really not interested. Seriously! You can get a free forum. There is no need to send your customers to another place that has nothing to do with your site.
4. Payments - From their payment proofs, they have not made a payment in over a month. Either they are not updating or they stopped paying.
Summary:
The site will is showing signs of a possible scam. We advise all to use caution when dealing with this site. If anyone has any experience with this site, good or bad, please feel free to leave a comment at the end of this review.
