This is the question many people ask when they’re hitting the multitude of opinions pro and against from the forums and blogs all around the internet talking about ptc sites.
Let’s answer this question: It is definitely worth the time and money if you know what to do to make these websites bring you profit.

Some people are labeling these websites as „no good or scams” but all this is happening because they entered in the game without knowing the rules or better said the most common sense guidelines for it.

Here you have the minimum checklist you could use to see if a ptc sites is worth it or not:
1. Go to whois.net and check the domain name of the ptc (www.exampleptc.com) who is owned by and what hosting service does it use. New websites even those not older than 6 months have a higher chance of failing to resist so it’s best to stay away of those.
2. Take a simple look at the websites’ design – a poor design or a free script often shows a website owner that does not intend to honor his members’ payments.
3. Take a look at the advertising fees the website is charging and then compare it to the fees it gives to it members. If he requests for example $0.002 for a single hit of an advertiser and yet it pays the members at least $0.005 on a click then the site will not last long because it doesn’t make profit.
4. Do a google search for the ptc website followed by the word ‘scam’ and check if there are any complaints about it or what are other people saying about it.

If you have done these 4 steps before joining a ptc website then you have 99% chances to gain a good profit.
The next thing to do once you’ve analyzed and joined several ptc sites is to “start small”. This means do not invest large sums of money on referrals, upgrades or contests within these sites from the beginning.
Even if your analyze has proven those ptc sites are worthy it is best to test them yourself for a while, meaning wait for your first 2 payouts see how long does the ptc take to transfer the money and then you can start with investing more.

Every time try to test all the ptc sites you care to join and only after that if you are 100% positive about it start investing money. This way you will minimize the risk of being scammed.
