Click Utopia

I have noticed something. Perhaps you have noticed it also. I see tons of sites with hundreds, if not thousands, of members listed, yet the amount that the site has paid is very low. One site I looked at today claims membership of 1,400+ but has only paid out $105. That, to me, is very low.
I would suggest you look for a site where the payout is AT LEAST 50 cents per member. I also suggest that you look at the number of ads served. For example, Bux.to has a relatively low number of ads served when you factor in their huge membership. A low number of ads served is a sign that they are only promoting their own downlines, which is not a good business model.
By all means, avoid any site that does not list membership, amount paid out, or number of ads served. There is no reasonable explanation that a PO(program owner) can make about keeping such data private. In the case of Bux.to, they have actually stripped the code out so that it does not display the total amount paid out. I know this because I use the same script at my ptc site and that function is part of the script.
Lastly, remember the golden rule, “if it seems to good to be true, it probably isn’t.”

I’d like to talk to you about site sustainability, which I feel is something crucial to look for when deciding what sites to join. Sustainability is simply the ability of the site to profit, or at least break even, while paying members.
I will use my own site, MyHardRoad, as an example. I charge $4 for 1000 ad views, or $.004 per view. That is what I take in. I pay $.0025 to my members for viewing an ad. My profit is $.0015 per view, or $1.50 per 1000 ads. I am sustainable.
However, if you look deeper, I also pay more to premium members per ad view, and I pay referral commissions. When you factor that in, I am actually operating in the red. I am not sustainable. In my case, I have numerous other ventures, which covers the cost of paying my members, but, to be honest, if I was seeking a site to join, I would be leery of a site which, on the surface, can only show a loss.
When looking for sites to join, I sincerely hope that you are “doing the math,” and seeing if a site is sustainable. You have to assume that site owners would like to make money, not lose it. If it appears that they are making money, while still paying you, your odds are much greater that they will pay you and will be around for a while.
