About Pay to Read and Pay to Click Websites

Ever came across websites that offers to pay users for just clicking a link or viewing online advertisements? The Internet is actually flooded with such websites and people can make a few hundred dollars of extra cash per month from just viewing and clicking these online advertisements. These advertising websites are usually called Pay To Read (PTR) or Pay To Click (PTC). PTC and PTR are closely related; the only difference is PTCs requires users to visit the PTC web page to click on advertisements while PTRs send advertisements to your E-Mail inbox. In this article PTR and PTC are used interchangeably as they are almost similar.

How exactly does this work?

In a bid to increase their site traffic, many websites pay PTR/PTC sites to advertise their web page on the PTR/PTC sites. These PTR/PTC websites then pay a proportion of the total advertising revenue people like you and me to click/view these links and advertisements. This is in fact is a win-win situation for the advertised web page, the advertising website and to the people who click on the links.

After clicking on an advertisement link a new window that contain the advertisement will be launched. There will usually be a count down timer located at the top of the page. Timer countdowns generally start from 10 seconds up to 45 seconds. After the countdown users will be asked to click on a certain button on the top of the page to credit the payment for viewing this advertisement before they close the window. If users close the windows before the countdown ends or close without clicking on the button to credit them their payment, no payment will be made for viewing that particular advertisement.

Other than clicking and viewing advertisements, certain PTR/PTC web also offer pay-to-signup scheme. Users are required to signup as member in certain websites. These scheme ranges from totally free signups to trial signups to non-free signups. These signups often require the use of a credit card. Payouts are as high as 50 dollars per signup.
