Good luck. The advertiser of Adbux are not getting any good result. Who really want to join a new spyware but the majority member have AVG, adware, spybot.

The bad news. We have to waist another 15 second longer in our life to view an ads.

I've noticed that also
They have also increased the cost for the ads a few days ago I think-- it used to be $2.XX but now it's $3.40.

I just hope the program is sustainable...

I won't waste 15s or 30s in my life to click those ads,and I don't believe this site will last long.

Maybe they have finally realised that advertisers won't pay $3.40 for one hundred clicks in an open market.
And yes, I don't think the site will last long, at least in its current state.

I was thinking of trying this one but a time change like that has made me think twice.

I feel the 30 second timer is better for the advertisers because 15 seconds isn't enough time to really read the ad.

But do you really believe advertisers will still pay $3.40 for 100 visits in the long run? If so why are the rates in the rest of PTC/PTR so low?

From what I've seen it appears that the owners of adbux are simply promoting their own affiliate links.

Can anyone get in today? I can't even find the login link.

$3.40 FOR ONE HUNDRED CLICKS!!!!!


That's $34 CPM!! Who in their right mind would pay that except the PO's Mom?!

Wait a minute! You're saying the guy expects to make 34 cents per click and yet he is only paying out 2 cents to the people who are doing all the work?!

(Edit:) My apologies, my math was wrong,. He is paying out 2 cents while taking in 3.4 cents so it is not as much of a scam as I originally posted. Still, it is a scam for the advertisers. (End edit)

What a scam!!

And for context folks, this forum, with 68,000 members can only get away with charging between 50 cents and $1 CPM.

If a well established forum like this can only get numbers like that how easy do you think it will be to find someone that will pay you $34 CPM?

It's highly questionable if they will and I notice over the last few days that there already seems to be less to click on.

Paying 100% of what each of your first level referrals make is what of course keeps the advertising price up so high and may turn out to be far too generous in the long run. Rates are so low in other PTC/PTR's because NONE offer 1c a click AND 100% of what your first level referral's make!

If i was doing one of these programs myself, I would perhaps offer 1/2c a click and 1/4c for your referrals clicks (this could even be expanded over 2 levels). This would still be good rates for clickers, and the advertising price could be as low as $1 for 100 visits. Which in turn would probably mean greater earnings because there should be far more advertiser's ads running at that price!

Yes it's better and that's how it should have been from the start. A 30 second timer is hardly unreasonable when you are earning a full cent.

Site is working fine here without any problems.

Is it a scam?

Nope it is not as the site offers 1 cent per link u click and 1 cent for each link yr referal clicks...Do your maths...

But i had to add: This site wun last very long...So grab all the cash you guys can afford to...I had to bypass this site as i was too late though...

jarred. That is not logical. If you say the site won't last long then how could it not be a scam?

as for my math I don't see the problem. 1 cent per click plus 1 cent sent to your referrer for every click you make equals 2 cents for each of your clicks. That is 20 cents for ten clicks or $2 for 100 clicks or $20 CPM

?

this comment has to be a joke

how so billy?

because who cares what cpm is advertising at 20 cpm is actually pretty cheap go try google or yahoo


secondly


to start saying scam you got to atleast know what the word means


do i think this owner is reputable hell no

am i postive at all the accusations nope


but because hes paying and has sustainable rates one really cant make the claim hes a scam or that due to high cpm its a scam


thats ludicrous

Well, you may be right in not calling it a scam because what it charges is above what it pays but if it is charging 20 to 30 times the going rate in its industry you can hardly call it sustainable. Sooner or later the advertisers will dry up. When that source of income goes then so do the clickers because there is no money to be made

The only thing that is drawing people in is the $20 CPM payment. If it gets dropped to $5 CPM or lower then maybe they will have some advertisers over the long term but even that is questionable. Especially when you can get advertising on boards like this for under $1 CPM.

At some point the costs of running the servers and the admin will also start to add up. Those things aren't free either

Maybe the "industry" needs to change. Paying members $0.0001 for 10 seconds of their time is why there are no decent advertisers. If PTR sites would charge more for their advertising, and pay members more then you might actually see some members who are interested in products, and actually purchase things. Most sites right now only have advertising for ptp links & affiliate pages. It's takes 1000 clicks at 10 secs each to make $0.10 That's 2.7 hours of clicking for a measly $0.10! (I think my math is right)

There are sites which are paying $0.02 cents per click & $0.01 when your direct referral reads an ad, and guess what THEY PAY! I know because I have been paid by them. Their payout rate is $25 - $30 but they pay you. They charge sustainable prices. This is what the "industry" should be doing.

I've been closing my programs (after paying everyone in full) because it isn't worth my time nor the clickers time to click on 1000's of PTP ads everyday to earn $0.10.

The programs that charge ridiculously low prices is what is hurting this "industry" NOT the sites who are charging $34 CPM rates.

Now, I'm not saying that adbux might turn out to be a scam in the long run. But right now it is paying so in my book is not a scam. I'm also not saying that the owner might be chad french. I don't know if he is or not. If it is him I do believe he should be paying all his previous members, but I have no proof that it really is owned by him.

I like AdBux. It's the first program that paid me so much. I have been paid several times.
