New and old site

From today on we can be found on www.netmoneyguide.info; the old site (www.money-online.0moola.com) will continue to work as usual - actually as you can see, excepting the Donkeymails banner (our sponsor on .info domain), netmoneyguide and money-online are the same; although today I have launched another site www.bestpaidto.info, this one is a site containing info about the best paid to... (click, read, sign-up and related sites) that I am using. There will be not to many to talk about - but it will be filled up with banners and links. You will also have the posibility to advertise your site either by banner or by links. So, I have nothing more to said but: Come on and visit us - you won't regret it.

Bux joining tips

Maybe what I am posting here is knowned by lots of you, but for the rest these are a few things that are good to be known when joining a new site. So there they are:

1. Try to check the time since the site is online - usually the older it is - most trustfull it is
2. Check the number of the members that have joined before you - the higher it is - so trustfull it is
3. Check the number of the clickable links (if possible) - the higher it is - more trustfull it is
4. Check if they have posted proof of payment and if they did, the last date they've did
5. Check their newsletter - if they've got it

Now let's see this five points a little bit detailed:

1. The older is the site - the better it is = usually if one of this kind of sites is passing one year, it means that his admin is sincerelly interested to keep his business going on and so he will do whatever is necessary to keep the site moving forward; so he will keep going on making money both for himself and for the members of the site.
2. The higher is the members number of the site, the higher is the number of the advertisers that is going on to use that site - so the higher will be the rewards that site is going to offer to their members.
3. The reverse of the number 2 point - if the number of the clickable link is high, it means that the interest of the advertisers in advertising on that site is high; so this one should be trustable; be sure to check that the most of the clickable links are posted from outside and not by the managing team of the site - if the numbers of links posted by the site team is higher than the outside links = usually that site is not sustainable.
4. Check out if the site has posted prof of payment - if yes, check out the last payment date and look up if it is in their scheduled time (usually in the FAQ section are stated the facts: minimum payout; payment method, and the processing time since the payment request).
5. If they are posting a newsletter (or a news section on the first page of the site), check it out; if they have posted news every one or two days; it means that the site owner has the interest to keep in touch with his members.

That are the tips I was talking about - they are good in about 85% of the cases (in my opinion) and they are a good guideline for joining. It may look a bit complicate, but in fact this are simple things to do that won't take more than 10 minutes to do. You may or may not follow this guidelines - you have nothing to loose but your valuable time, as most of the bux type sites are free to join - but let's face it you will regret that time if, after a few weeks of clicking you will see the site disapearing (I'm not mentioning the case in which you have upgraded your membership :)) lol).

That will be all for today; hope I was usefull to you again.

Paid.vg - gone

As I was saying in "Buxmania" some of PTCs are going to stay and some are going to disapear; this week it was Paid.vg turn to disapear; the reason I take this one separately is that it was a relatively long time around (about six months) and because his owner tried to give an explanation to the life - death cycle of a PTC site.
This article was post on Paid.vg on 25th April 2008; as this site is going to dissapear I post the article here, so all the people interested in this PTC - industry (I think, we can call it this way), could read it and think about it. I am using PTC for a long time and I'm going to use them from now on, but I think it would be fair to know something from a man who was inside and that's why I am posting his article here.

25th April 2008

"I regret to inform you that Paid.vg will now be closing. I didn’t want it to come to this; I know that many users have accused this site of being a scam. I can assure you that my intentions were and are completely legitimate, I wanted Paid.vg to be the perfect PTC site, and I spent a solid month improving the original $30 Bux script. It had many bugs and missing features. I redesigned it to be as clear and fast as I could by fixing the errors, adding new features and giving it a unique design. I know that you can now buy a PTC script for around $40-50 and have your PTC site running in no time at all, but I really put effort into the site in order to make it different and not just another generic buggy Bux site. There is a simple explanation to why Paid.vg and 99% of PTC don’t stay open." More...>>

27th April 2008

"Paid.vg and Script.vg will be shut down completely within the next day or two. The domains will be cancelled so I will have no access to the domain, hosting or email again. I have almost finished reimbursing. My account balance limits me from paying everyone, but I have paid as many as I can. I have around $200 left; this will be given out very soon. In my note I mentioned that I want to leave the PTC industry. I am currently looking into selling Bux Up. I currently have an offer of $450, but the bidder has not yet decided whether to purchase yet. If you would like to purchase Bux Up and continue to run it then email offer@buxup.com, please do not send anything else which is not related to purchasing Bux Up to this address, it will be ignored. My hope is to sell Bux Up to an external purchaser within the next week. The amount it's purchased for will be reimbursed to Paid.vg members. Thank you for using Paid.vg; in between the stressful and difficult times I enjoyed running it. I wish all the members at Paid.vg well and hope you have luck in your future endeavours.
Alex."

Buxmania - follow up

A few days ago, I was posting here a small article called "Buxmania" in which I was writing about this bux boom we are going through; as I was saying there some of them will survive and carry on while others will die - so here are the first victims (the first I saw) of the Buxmania:

• Buxplus - www.buxplus.org
• Gogobux - www.gogobux.com

That's it for now. Get back to our usual stuff, we'll keep in touch; I'll let you know if some new victims appear.

Buxmania

As many of us can see, a lot of bux type sites have com on the scene of paid to... sites. All of them are promising a lot of things (especially fast and sure earnings) but not all of them have kept their promises. I too have joined a couple of them, but I didn't reach the minimum payout yet. Some of them have few posts, some of them have high payouts and another part of them have allready disapear. I don't want to be a pesimist but it seems to me that this bux type sites thing that we are going to, is going to be a repetition of the fall down of the PTC industry from a few years back, when this type of sites were comeing up as the mushrooms after rain and after a few month a big part of them were gone and only a part of them survived proveing to us and to themselves their seriousity and the honesty of their webmasters. That's all for now. I'll lay down and have a few more clicks, maybe join a few buxes and do the other daily things that I usually do and wait, ... and from time to time check out what is hapening with this bux type site to see if I was right or wrong.
