Is It Just About The Cash?
Reading on one of the forums today I came across a thread about a Paid to Read site and Paid to Click banners with no cash or point values. The subject line made me open the thread to read it. “Kinda Bogus, Adpaid of all programs.” The first sentence read, “PTC’s for Zero points? What’s the point of that??” I found the topic quite interesting and went on to read more of the thread. The intial reaction of most of the posters at the forum was what was the big deal, with a remark from the original poster of. “It is a way to get people to visit those sites without having to pay them.” Now my take on the whole thing as a Program Owner was this wasn’t unusual as the Paid to Clicks were most likely Contest Link Paid to clicks which would make the Paid to Clicks ads worth something. Many Paid to Read programs have a Contest Link section which have banners worth very little or nothing at all and every so many clicks a member wins a prize of cash or advertising for clicking the banners. So would it still not be paid clicking? I would think that one would be happy with winning in the Contest PTC section if they were active enough. The amount is much more then most cash or point ads are worth and if one is an active clicker the chance of winning that prize is higher then if you randomly clicked ads. Do we not have choices in PTR for what we choose to click on or has complaining just become a way of life in the forums for someone frustrated with something else in life? This seemed such a petty thing to me for one to complain about. There are generally lots of other ads at sites to click on or does it come down to the money and nothing more with some. Isn’t Paid to Read suppose to be about Advertisers and Consumers coming together or am I missing something here? Someone please enlighten me…
