Guys please be careful with this program, it's not a scam but be careful with your investing cause you'll probably not earn back your money invested. I decided to invest $5.12 and I have 12 members in my downline and 5 Invested Members with $18.03 Invested according to their website calculator, If I surfed the maximum 5000 pages a month and with the downline I have, I would earn $3.24 a year??, what kinda @#$% is that? Anyways, just be careful and try to use to calculator before investing.

It is kinda hard to earn lots of money with 1heluva
but anyway it is possible to earn 100% of your investment YEARLY
av.gif LOL

But you can earn it not only for a single year

Before anybody 'invest' anything (time, money, soul, etc) into any traffice exchange, please be reminded they expect you to surf for credits to be exchanged for visitors to your site, not money they want to send from their bank accounts into yours.

***ALL*** traffic exchanges that used to pay in cash have either changed their TOS or refused to pay.

Clickity: $3 a day -> $0.0025 per day clicking 250 pages (the owner of clickity is also the owner of 1helluva in case if you don't know).
Clickthru: 1/2 cent per page page view, unlimited paid page view per day ->$0.5 per day maximum, owe me $100 they probably can't pay off until 2004 if they do survive.
Clicks4u: $25 minium -> $50 minium, you have to win the credits and hopefully somebody will buy them, otherwise the credits are useless unless you paid to upgrade.
Hit-harvester: $15 minium -> not paying
Usasuperclick et al: $1 minium -> not paying any more.

Gttrader: ???

You can blame all the cheaters for most of them sites not paying now.

Isn't it the responsibility of the traffic exchanges to have cheating prevention mechanisms? It is insecure for anybody to spend any time and money with them only to hear them crying 'cheaters' over and over again.
The botton line is they pocketed the money from the advertisers and upgraded members. If they refuse or delay payment due to cheaters eating into their profits, should they refund the money they made to the advertisers and gold members?

Talking about refunding advertisers, I have left out genuine bar (gone under) which actually stated in their TOS they would not refund advertisers.

.....sigh........aren't traffic exchanges supposed to be for getting your page seen?? Too many people are now using them as just a money making thing and no one is really looking at your site. I surf to get my site viewed. I was SO GLAD when click thru did what they did!! As far as iheluva and clickity, I use them for page views--I may surf 40 or 50 pages here and there and let it build up for a while, but I don't use them much anymore.

Yes. Traffic exchanges are supposed to be used to exchange traffic. They shouldn't have used cash to lure members. Some body who got in early with clickthru had earned close to $2000. Of course that person wouldn't mind to promote it as a paid-to-surf or paid-to-click site.

If a company has the intention to advertise its site as "get paid 1/2 cent for every page view", it doesn't matter how they changed it later, there is a legal binding between them and members. Big brothers are watching.
billiev
.....should be called paid-to-click instead of just a traffic exchange!! Actually, the only "luck" I've had w/traffic exchanges has been countercrazy and viral visitors. (all free)

gttrader you surf for credits and sell credits or you can buy them if you want traffic

they pay currently $0.23 per lot.. a lot is 100 credits..

for everyday 100 sites you surf 50 of your credits you can sell, 50 are used to view your page.

min payout is reachable + you get lots of credits from downline + you get exposure of your webpage

surf 200 sites a day = about $100 a year + 36000 hits a year!
Brenda@PJ
How can you be surprised by 1heluva? I am sure SOME people make money SOMEWHERE from Clickity, but *I* sure didn't and I promoted till my nose bled, I swear!

I made a decision to invest because it allowed me to have five different urls listed for viewing. I prefered that since I get very tired of seeing the same old thing all the time. They made it very clear to play with the income calculator and I did. So you have to weigh the investment.

Is it worth $5 for you to have the opportunity to have more urls listed for viewing? Consider it an advertising cost.

Kiwi, I like your attitude.

Now, can you send me $5? I want to make it very clear you won't get your 5 dollars back but I also gurantee you I will give you $3.
So that will make you happy? It will make me happy too... ab.gif

They changed the minimum investment amount to $5.00. There used to be no minimum, so people could get free referrals, 5 links spots, and make money for only a cent. av.gif
paidcash27
I'm also still regreting investing even though it's just $5, it's still something. It's so ridiculus that even with all the referrals i have and surfing the maximum 5000 pages a month, I will make a loss of $2. These guys are sure earning a lot from this program.
billiev
I only invested $1--did it the first day just to get the 5 urls--have surfed 500 pages and have a downline of 12(5invested) and my ROI so far is


DRUM ROLL.........

I joined iheluva and put in around $29.00 from clickitycash (the promo they had the prevous month) I had asked in there message board a question if you get your money back at the end of the year (I didn't read the terms right) and Fred replyed back with a belitteing rude responce with(why don't Iget off my butt and start referring people and then compared me with there top person in hellava saying she had like over 2500 referrals and is making like over $500.00 a month and so on and so on.

So this just hit the last straw and I told him "He can take clickitycash and 1heluva and stick them where the sun don't shine, (Im putting it nicely here on this site. LOL) ab.gif

and I deleted both of my accounts. ae.gif
