MyLot - Paid to Post on a Forum!?!

Strangely enough I'd never heard of MyLot until yesterday - the name sounded familiar, I've probably been invited several times. Only yesterday did I find it whilst googling. Basically it's a website where you get paid to post on the forums. Ok, earnings are slow but there are plenty of topics and a lot of nice people.

You get paid between 1 and 5 cents per post depending on the quality and size of it. Apparently it is worth posting around 3 lines and helps if your post is rated as useful. You also get paid for posting pictures.

You also receive 25% of your referrals earnings. It's certainly a pleasant way to earn money. Earnings are updated every 24 hours, so don't just walk away if you don't see it change immediately! They also have an unbeatable reputation as strong as an ox!

They pay by paypal or moneybookers. The minimum withdrawal is 10 dollars, (you can also select 25, 50, 100 etc), they pay automatically at the end of the month - if you have reached that amount and you receive the money by the 15th.

Good news from Bux.to

Well I finally received my referrals today and they were quite apologetic about it. I've already started earning money from them, was a bit worried at the beginning as some of them had been registered for a considerable time and I also came across a message which said that only the package of 500 referrals had the clause where they would renew inactive members. I also read that they only consider someone who has never clicked a single time as inactive.

Fortunately, I have nothing to worry about and my referrals are good chaps!

Update

Online earnings are going slowly but fairly with bux3.com and bux.to, they are the only two I am using at the moment because the others have closed for maintenance due to their problems with paypal. These two don't seem to be effected. Bux.to are yet to reply to my request about the missing referrals and neither one of Google Ads or Adbrite have got back to me nor the ads appeared yet. I'm surprised by such low standards for well respected companies. If they can't stick to their promises, they shouldn't promise deadlines.

AdSense (Contextual Advertising) - An Important Way of Earning Online Money

Unless you have a lot of traffic and a lot of updated new content, I doubt it is easy to make a lot of money with adsense services. However, plenty of people still earn good money from it and it is definitely a promising source of online income for me.

I checked out a couple of different services before selecting two of many.

I first looked into Bidvertiser who it appears pay less than the majority of services around but can pay you by paypal as opposed to check and the minimum earnings before you can withdraw funds is only $10.00. Some people claim to have not received payment from them.

I selected Google Adsense - the most well known and powerful services of them all. I've used them before but had forgotten how much they pay. Researching it over the internet, there is no clear answer and I will just let you know my findings (as I will for all the other things I review) at the end of the month. In this case, I will do it at the end of February. I've applied for adsense on this site and it should take 2 days to get a reply.


I also chose Adbrite, who pay well but need someone to buy advertising before small banner adverts will appear on a site. They also offer simple adsense adverts and full page advertisements. They accepted me immediately and gave me some HTML code to paste onto this site. Being very bad at HTML, I can only hope that I pasted it in the right place! According to them, their small banner should appear within 24 hours.

Other services included:

Clicksor, who pay well but only accept you if you are a high-traffic website, which I am not aswell as having other hard to match conditions.

AdEngage - You must wait until someone buys advertisement and as my website is just setting out this is not really ideal

Text-link-ads - The same problem as AdEngage but has a good reputation, an easy-to-use website, they claim to pay 70% of the revenue they receive, compatible with Adsense and they offer paid blogging. I might spend longer looking at this website. If you do join this site, please put your referer down as "dangaroo" (that's me!)

Yahoo Publisher Network - USA only, so no good for me! As usual, they forget the rest of the world exists!

There are undoubtedly more companies but these are the main ones for the moment. There will be an update if I come across another large company that pays well.

PTC Websites - The Conclusion of my First Review

There are absolutely hundreds of sites out there and many of them are new. Paypal have just recently blocked the majority of them, so many are currently changing to Moneybookers, Alertpay etc.

Obviously it is not really that efficient to spend all day clicking lots of different adverts on different websites for cents. I would and most probably will just stick with Bux.to, bux3, Clix4coins and Advercash and hope to invest in more referrals shortly. I will keep a watchful eye over the others in case they start to get more adverts.
