Take The Globe: A Review

What is TakeTheGlobe?

TakeTheGlobe is a PTC (Paid-to-Click) site. It’s a new innovative, international and FREE English based service that allows advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ad on the "Surf Ads" page.

It works like this. You click on advertisement link via the “Surf Ads” page and view it for a few seconds. Once the timer is up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. The green tick sign means you've earned money for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "Surf Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit.

How much can I earn?

If you click 10 ads a day and you refer 100 members who click 10 ads a day you could earn over $75 every month; that is over $900 every year. With more referrals or more ads you could easily double, triple, or quadruple that. The earning potential is endless!

My opinion about this wonderful PTC

When I first joined TakeTheGlobe they have a very lousy-looking site, but with more than 100 ads that one wouldn’t believe the seriousness of the admin to pay its members. It’s easy to reach payout even clicking alone or with no ref at all. It’s really a different PTC by then. Today it has a different layout that looks so professional and still lot of ads to click to for standard members. TOS says that TTG pays after 60 business days for standard members and 30 business days for premium members. But, in my experience you have to wait 35 days minimum to be paid after request, if you are standard member and a much lesser waiting period for premium members. TTG is one of the most respectable PTC sites and it’s my favorite as it never misses paying its members. I am recommending this site for you to join.

Isabelmarco Announcement

I’ve been a member of Isabel Marco for quite some time and been paid once since then. This site is one of the many PTC sites online that I treasured and trusted most as it pays its members on time. But what was disturbed me now is the news I got yesterday evening from a respectable site about IsabelMarco. If you are already a member of this program and/or about to sign up, please take your time reading the following.

ISABEL MARCO ANOUNCEMENT

By: Jessica Michele October 3, 2008 hyipnews.com

Isabel Marco announced yesterday evening that it will no longer be paying free members. Free members can still have accounts, click, play lottery, etc. They just will not be paid until they upgrade. Also, all pending cashouts for these members will be / have been canceled.

Now my rant: I personally will stay with the site a little longer. I have money invested there and do no mind paying $9 monthly to get $100. However, I will NOT be investing anything other than that, and I suggest others not as well. I've noticed my referrals went from 181 to 92 after the most recent "site clean-up", and yesterday noticed I not only have 41. Hmm, guess my purchased bots died. I assume its only a few days before the rest are gone as well. Also, they state the reason for this change is due to cheating, and not catching it. So, are they admitting that the 30+ days of "audit" actually involves no audit? Is that not what members are told we are waiting for? We all know this is not truly the case; they are waiting while making more money in the process. And, will the 30+ days waiting for premiums be shortened? With the drastic reduction in payments I would think this would happen. Ha, in my dreams....

In conclusion, I believe IM is delaying the inevitable. The site will be gone very soon. Referrals will leave, resulting in members not investing. Instead of trying to make the site sustainable, by lowering value, they pull this, which will result in the end of IM.

Ways to Detect Bad PTC Sites

I would like to thank simon4u92, my forum mate and the global moderator of PTCTalk for these guides about PTC programs that clickers should look into them first before they venture the PTC world. I should post about a review of TakeTheGlobe but I’m giving priority on this as this is really a must-to-see guides or tips on how to neither spot nor detect bad new sites from the good ones. However, there's no assurance that those programs completely dressed with the following will not turn out scam or there's a guarantee that they are trusted, legit and paying sites. Just remember PTC programs are also as risky as HYIP and Forex. If you're going to join any PTC programs and invest with it through upgrade of membership and buying referrals it's solely depends on you. So good luck!

1. Sites with Free Hosts and Free Domains

Sites pop up with free hosts like webspacemania, 000webhost, etc. and with free domains like websitename.co.cc, websitename.tk, websitename.co.nr, etc. should be avoided. If the owner can’t afford to get a good hosting, should be dedicated and a good domain name, how can you expect him to pay you in the long run. Example: ExcellentBux which started off with a free host and ultimately turned out a scam.

2. Sites with the Default Design

Every script have their own default design. As an example, YourOwnBux scripts have a white layout and AdBux script has a grayish layout and so on. If the owner doesn’t have his own creativity to get a good design or at least hire someone to do the job how can you be assured that he is trustworthy of paying you and other members. Examples: WolfBux.in, GoodBux, Buxit, Bux-it and 5Buxs they all turned out scams.

3. Sites with No Forum and No Support

Sites that don’t have forums and any other means of Support System other than the contact page should not be trusted. This clearly shows the owner and/or admin doesn’t want to interact with his users, attend complaints on technical/any kind of problems with their site, you can never expect him/her to be hanging around for a long while. And you will have the least chances of getting paid. Examples: 5Buxs.cn and ExcellentBux.

4. Sites with Bugs

Generally pre-made scripts like the Bux.to clone and YourOwnBux has built-in bugs in them. Found any bug in the script, the most found bug Referral Bug. Verify it with someone who has already signed up before you if the site has a referral bug or not and then you can try your luck. If owner can’t fix a small bug or can’t hire a coder to fix a minor bug, how can you trust him to pay its users? Joining such a program is purely a waste of time.

5. Read TOS/FAQ/Privacy Policy

Read the TOS/FAQ/Privacy Policy before joining a site. Scams generally don’t update them since they are lazy. They just copied it from other site that is why sometime you will notice that the name of the original site is still there. You should not join such kind of program. If the owner is too lazy to update few details the more lazy he should be when it comes to paying his users.

6. The Figures, Do they add up?

Sustainability in a site is a key factor in the success or failure of a PTC site. Without the ability for the site to be sustainable on the sale of advertising alone, the site is classified as a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi Schemes are programs which function based solely on the sale of upgrades and referrals, once the referrals and upgrade sales stop, the payments stop too. That is why it is key to making sure the site is sustainable.
For example if a site pays $0.01 per click then the maximum amount of money they would have to pay to people for a 1000 click ad is $20 ($10 from the person clicking plus $10 for referral clicks). If what they are selling 1,000 click ads for only say $8 then they are making a $12 loss per 1,000 click ads someone buys. It should be noted that sustainability through pricing applies mainly to bux-style scripts. Also it is important to know the number of the self sponsored ads. Many sites (example: 07bux) are running with 100% self sponsored ads. That means lack of advertisers and site has to be based only in referral packs and upgrades. Aurora's are a different and more successful business model.

Convert Your Account Balance Into Text Link Ads

Did you know that you could earn more by converting you account balance into ads?

Converting your account balance into text link ads is the fastest way to see your earnings making your even more profit. Instead of eagerly waiting to reach the minimum payment tries to spend some in advertising. Almost all PTCs have the Convert to Ads option where members can use this option and once approved see their ads in the site main view page. Approval rate in conversion is extremely fast rather than requesting cashout which usually takes 40 to 60 days or more and there are times the long wait ends up nothing – they don’t pay or the site disappeared…closed! When you convert your account balance into ads it usually approves the same day in less than an hour sometimes, though, normally it takes up to one or two days work before the same is approved.

Why should I invest my balance?!

Ask the experts, the answer will always be the same. Let us make a tiny calculation here. Let's take buyas.info or other sites that offer $1 for 100 views or visits as an example. You waste 30 seconds to view a website to win $0.01 and so it's 3500 seconds or approximately 58 minutes to gain $1. Now imagine you waste that dollar buying a text link ad for another Paid-to-Click program with your referral link in it for example. Imagine that 50% of the users that view your ad join that program. You would be winning 50 referrals... for that tiny dollar that you spent. It is the same through with your website you get 100 instant visitors. Its amazing isn't it?! Don't waste more time, try your luck and make profit.

CrewBux - Review

There are a lot of ways to make money online, Paid-To-Click or PTC is one. Anyone can earn money from PTC sites. You just have to follow their terms or rules on their TOS, so you don’t get in over your head. The important thing to remember when joining a PTC site or program is to go with your own instincts. Script, template and design are important to know their seriousness in this business. If it have lot of features and superiority then it tend to last long. Let’s take CrewBux as example.

When I first joined CrewBux their site designed is so ordinary and fairly look good. But look, they have re-designed the site & it now look fresher, cleaner and very professional. The ads link was changed to banner ads. I think this is the first of its kind on PTC. The amount of ads for free members is now placed at 7 ads per day to click. After careful reviewing & testing CrewBux I can say this is 100% reliable program. Personally, if I were you I would make this one of your top PTC sites. It is because from what I have seen for the past 6 months, CrewBux is a force to be reckoned with. Here is what they say about their site on their homepage.

At CrewBux.com, you get paid to click on ads and visit websites. The process is easy! You simply click a link and view a website for 20 seconds to earn money. You don't need any skills. You will earn $0.01 for each ad. This is because all you need to do is visit the sites we provide you with. You can earn even more by referring friends. You will earn $0.005 for each ad your direct referrals see too. Payment requests can be made every day and are processed through PayPal or Alertpay. The minimum payout is $2.99

Isabelmarco’s Money Maker

IsabelMarco.com is a well established pay-per-click site and is hosted on a dedicated server. The site seems to be run by a couple (check banner above for their picture). The only PTC site I have seen that has actual pictures of its owners and says a lot about their integrity.

Okay, how much money can a member make at IsabelMarco.com? There is no limit in the amount of websites you visit or referrals that you obtain. Your earning possibilities are virtually endless. You get paid to click on ads and visit websites. The process is easy! You view websites for 30 seconds via the "Surf Ads" page. Once the 30 seconds are up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. The green tick sign means you've earned money for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "Surf Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit. You can earn even more by referring friends. You'll get paid $0.01 ($0,015 for premium) for each website you personally view and $0.006 ($0,012 for premium) for each website your referrals view. Payment requests can be made every day and are processed through AlertPay and PayPal. Minimum payout is $9.

To those of you who don’t know yet IsabelMarco I’d like to conclude this is a PTC program that is tested and one you can trust.
