Google AdSense | Get Paid to Advertise

Google AdSense is another great way to earn some extra cash online. No, it is not a PTC site, but it is from a well established company. So you can count on them not being a scam and paying on time.

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

Most are gone or dead and the rest are on "autopilot". When I went to CyanBux to click on the ads, most of the ads were 404's. 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 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.
