KenoClix

I just won 200 credits on KenoClix!
I matched 9 numbers with my Keno Card, which is rather lucky, I think.
KenoClix is a traffic exchange program with an inbuilt Keno game. Free members earn 0.5 credits for each valid pageview. On each pageview, a number is automatically drawn. After 20 pageviews, the number of matching numbers on your Keno Card is tallied. The more numbers you match, the more bonus credits you earn from KenoClix.

KenoClix is only about 2 months old, and already has over 2500 members. It is also accepted on most PTP sites.

Site of the Day - Random PTCs

I signed up for Random-PTCs on 30/07/2005. After almost 2 weeks, I'm up to $0.87, and over 1400 points. The reason I post this site, is because, I think the PTP point ad redemption is really worth it!

PTP Ad 500 Clicks - 700 Points (email ad)

I redeemed for this ad a little over 24 hours ago, for WolfEmails PTP. So far, I have received 125 clicks (according to the Random-PTCs ad stats). WolfEmails stats logged a total of 83 hits and 81 valid from Random-PTCs. Total PTP credits earned was 67, which indicates a good number of Tier 1 clicks.
81/125 = 64.8% actual valid.
67/81 = 0.827 credits per valid hit

In addition, the PTP ad is resent until 500 clicks have been recorded. Assuming the above numbers, this small ad campaign will earn me 268 credits at WolfEmails, equal to $0.1742.

Now, that's really not much to brag about, but when you consider that there are many 5 point clicks in the PTC section, 700 points isn't that hard to reach.

Compare this to PolarPTR point redemption for PTP ads.
1 point x 1000 clicks (PTP links only) - 1,250 Points (PTC ad)
1 point x 1000 email clicks - 1,300 Points (email ad)

Not much difference, you say? Actually, it's a big difference, because most of PolarPTR point PTCs are 1 point each! You'll have to click at least 5x more to get a similar point ad redemption.

Other good point redemption sites are SoRedtheRose and YourPTR. Be sure to check and see whether the site is PTP approved before redeeming for ads, otherwise you won't earn a single penny.

Developing a GPT Strategy

Everyone has their own ideas and plans on how to make money from the GPT industry. How much you make depends on a number of factors. For instance, someone in front of the computer 12 hours a day, will probably have the potential to make more from GPT than someone who spends an hour a day online. The keyword is potential. This isn't always the case. Newbies to GPT are discouraged by scams and slow earnings. It usually takes a few months before the earnings from GPT start to grow. For the newbie, you will probably want to stay clear of autosurfs and HYIPs, which require you to invest money, with the potential to earn it back with interest. There's that word again. However, with autosurfs/HYIPs, there is an element of risk. People do make money from these, but then again, many don't!

My current strategy is a mixture of PTR/PTC/PTP, and using manual traffic exchanges to promote them. I am currently playing around with Paid-to-Promote (P-t-P), and autosurfs. P-t-P offers a range of ads, from banners to popups and layer ads. However, there has been numerous complaints about some of their ad scripts, which apparently attempt to install software (aka potential virus or spyware).

PTP is a subject of wide debate, due to the potential problems it brings.

Eureka!

I found a backup copy of my original GPT blog entries! I've reposted them on my original GPT blog. However, I've decided that I'll be posting all future entries on this blog.

Latest Payouts

Apple-Clicks - $3.21 USD. The official minimum payout is $3.00, but there is usually no need to request payout. There are also the occasional random payouts. I've been a member since May, and have earned a grand total of $11.60 from this site. The webmistress, Claudia, also owns a number of autosurfs and other PTRs. I am also a member of Granny's which is currently behind payments due to Paypal problems.

TyliaPays - $0.39 USD. This is another no minimum site, same WM as SendMeCash.net, and it pays on a monthly basis. Please note that the payment is made in the following month, so if you request in May, you get paid in June. Although the earnings are minimal, the points system is rather good for ad redemptions, so this may be worth joining for that.

DiggySearch - $3.46 USD. $3 minimum payout. This was my first attempt at making money from a PPC Search Engine. This SE pays 50% (up to 80%) of the bidded amount plus 10% of your referrals earnings and 5% of any money they deposit into their DiggySearch account. There is also a 25c referral bonus. I actually signed up for this search engine, in order to remove ads from my free GetAPortal webspace.

BannerFoxAds - $0.97 USD. No minimum payout. I've been a member with this site for about 6 weeks now, and this is my second payment. Payment is made in the first week of the month (no request necessary). Most of the earnings came from promoting their PTP page, which gives $0.70 CPM Tier 1.

Searching4Gold - $0.29 USD. No minimum payout. This is my fourth payment from this site since May (total = $1.19 USD).
