Another thing you need to remember is because of everybody’s time zone differences you will be required to click your ads according to the servers time, which is usually located in the US. When you register you will normally get a reset time which is the time of the day when your advertisements will reset, this is according to your local time so it isn’t confusing.

Be aware not all sites will require you to click for credit etc, this is just a prime example with some. Others you can just earn from by referring others and building your down-line so to speak. Or simply just your own work and clicking efforts if you have a hard time referring others.

That said their are numerous sites out there who will sell you bots and not real people. These are just ponzi PTC sites which have no sustainability and is only a matter of time before they close down for good.

PTC sites claiming to pay $1 per click or anything similar are nothing more than scams, so don’t waste your time and effort with those.

1) adhitz : it’s advertising network , you join their site as a publisher ( site owner ) and create a banner code which you place on your site , you earn money for each click on that banner and you can cashout once your reach 25$

> this is their website : http://adhitz.com

2) trafficrevenue : same like adhitz but they pay only for usa , canada and european traffic no other countries

> this is their site : http://www.trafficrevenue.net/

3) bitvertiser : same style as adhitz , but earnings are a bit less

> this is their site : http://www.bidvertiser.com/

4) flagads : they have lots of options for you , not only banners , but popup ads and other , which enables you to make money faster

> this is their site : http://flagads.net/

* there are a lot more similar sites , i don’t know all of them , but i will post updates to what i find here

- now you placed banners in your site to make money from views , what else can you do ?
your members will log in to your site to view ads , so you usually need a captcha to ensure they wont use bots or autoclickers to click ads , you can make money from this buy using a captcha that is strong and that pays you each time a member logs in
you can use solvemedia captcha , which is strong against bots and pays you for each solved captcha
you can get it by signing up at their site here : http://www.solvemedia.com/

- these are ways that enable you to make money without paying anything

-the question now is what about the ads you will place in your site , how to get them ?
at the start of any ptc site , owners are forces to use their personal ads or what is called self sponsored ads you will start by calculating how much you want your members to earn in your site daily , let’s say you want them to make 0.02$
so you place 20 ads each worth .001$
these ads should be for sites you want referrals in , or sites with high ptp so you can make some money from these ads
after you get good amount of members try to sell ads for lower price and split your self sponsored ads value
if you sold and ad for example , make it a .001$ ad and change value of 2 of your self sponsored ads to 0.0005 , this will make you have more ads and yet still same amount of earnings , and so on

- Now site is ready , You have the site , forum , support system , ads ready
but you shouldn’t launch site now , take 1 or 2 days , check site script , any one can miss some little details , check if things are crediting right , cron jobs of the scripts ( which makes your ads refresh each day ) will post those in the development and support section here in forum
then once you are sure that everything is ok and your are able to understand most of things you deal with in the script , also your forum and support system
then you can launch your site

- That’s all you have made your PTC site

2) Prices :
prices of ads you will sell , it’s measured by CPM which is price of 1000 ad
, at the start you will have hard time getting advertisers , because your site still small without much active members , so try to make your prices low , something like 2000 visits for 1$ or 3000 visits , just so you attract advertisers and when your site grows , you can provide higher value ads , remember you are trying to balance between advertisers needs and members needs

3) Payouts :
start with a low payout value , like 10 cents or 20 cents , this will get you good members activity at the start , also would enable you to sell ads for low price , because if you sell 5000 ads for 1$ for example and you made your payout 1$ members wont remain in your site and will leave fast

- there are many forum scripts you can use the two most famous ones ( in ptc sites ) are :

1- SMF ( Simple Machines Forum ) : which is the best i think , as it’s easily adjusted , has lots of mods that provides you lots of good features you will need in forum , plus it’s easily installed and doesn’t need much php info

> You can get it from this site : http://www.simplemachines.org/

2- phpBB : which is light and fast to install script , easy to configure , and can be used when you don’t want to take much space for the forum

> You can get it from here : http://www.phpbb.com/

* there are many other scripts too , but those 2 are the most used for ptc sites

* template is a Photoshop image it’s made by any designer after that a coder modifies this image to become a php file which you can install on your site , you have to know that not all designers can modify image to be a php or what is known as coding a template , so before you purchase and template ask the seller if it’s coded or not
also if you are purchasing a unique design template , make sure the seller gives you the original Photoshop file which is known as psd this is to prevent him from using this design again or selling it to others ( only if you are purchasing unique design )
usually unique design price ranges from 10 to 50$ ( :P yes can be high price but it worth it if the design is good ) and coding the photoshop file to php would cost from 10 to 15$ depending on the coder
or you can take short way and purchase already coded and ready to go templates , here are some sites which sell good and cheap templates :

1- http://onlinepaidclick.com/5-auroragpt-template
this site belongs to viewz , he is one of well known coders and designers , he has lots of good templates and in good prices too , and he provides support to you in adding the purchased template to your site

2- http://www.gptengine.com/
which is also reseller for most previous scripts i mentioned before , so can be good when you go for a bux script , or aurora script , good templates with good prices

3- http://www.ptcfactory.info/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=24
these are mainly viewz templates plus some other templates made by sdr script makers

4- http://ptcsitefactory.com/

there are many sites to get templates from , i will update this post with any new templates sites i find , also you can check our buy and sell section in which you can find good offers from designers in our forum

- you can start with standard and not fancy template and after your site grows you can change it , templates aren’t a fixed thing and they are easy to change anytime , so calculate your budget first and find good and cheap template for your start which can be good idea
