Paid to Click Bitcoin websites seem to be coming ever more popular just recently, my only problem is how reliable they could actually be if they were to be used. I have found websites that show proof of payment when using these websites but I am always dubious about these kind of websites that show proof of payment as these things can easily be false proof.

Has anyone here ever used any paid to click websites that pay bitcoin?

Yes, plenty and it took me a while to realize that its not worth anyones time. You get a few satoshi, whoever runs the site gets a few more satoshi for the ads you clicked and those paying for the ads get a little more bounce traffic.

While my initial argument was that I click while I do something else on the computer anyway, the return is still not worth the brainpower you spend on thinking: 1 hour is up I should check if I can click again...

You will make more with your paid signature if you spend the same time reading this board. You might learn something and might want to contribute to a discussion. The first part alone is probably worth more than the dust you get from pay to click sites.

Pay to click is essentially a scam business model.

Paid clicks are worthless, as businesses are
interested in real traffic, leads, and customers.

The only exception is something like youtube,
where you just want views on your video.

Isn't it the same as the people perfecting some strategy to get BTC off the various faucets that are around. IIRC, you get < 1 USD every hour for doing constant faucet work? I'll pass...

I still don't think youtube is a exception it's the same marketing trick.

These type of sites are a complete waste of time. Literally. They're just for desperate newbs trying to get their hands on their first tiny little bit of coins. You're on a signature deal and you'd probably make more with a few posts that you would all day on these type of sites.

Most of them are scam sites. Coinad is a paying ptc site.

Well some people do try to keep them honest, like http://thebitcoinmaster.blogspot.com/2013/02/beware-of-these-scams.html

But it's a minefield out there, and most newbies waste a lot of time finding the legit sites, and still gain very little satoshi's.

 

maybe you can try a new way, which is paid bitcoin to watch the video and I had to prove myself. coinhd.com

I don't agree fully with you.
Yes, many PTC sites are SCAM but some of them, which offer real value to both advertisers and members, are valid business model what works.
The most successful PTC business models are in business already 7-8 years and have a few million members.
I hope someone can start such successful pTC business model also for us, Bitcoin users :)

I use paid to click advertising to promote various sites... It's not the best advertising in the world, but it's cheap...;D

It's effectiveness does vary on the ptc site, and what you are advertising. Bitcoin sites I try to advertise using bitcoin paid to clicks.

Payment proof for my favorite bitcoin paid to click:

the problem is, people that need to sign up for such programs are broke...so how are they going to valuable
to the advertisers?

If you are interested in making minimal coin per hour instead of doing research on how to make more, then yes, PTC is the way to go.

take care of the data in your local computer

I wouldn't exactly count on it, partly because I never trust PTC sites. They promote how easy things are and how easy to earn money from it. Seriously though, how many have earned a good amount of money from it? Especially now bitcoin was the said payment, I wouldn't even bother taking a second look at it. then again, but thats just me.

I use 3-4 Bitcoin PTC sites to advertise my Blog and have much better results than banner/text ads. I would agree that these networks may not be the best for a lot of paid products, but you can argue that PTC ads have the same effectiveness as television commercials; if not better considering Bitcoin is your target market.

Some of the best sites to advertise are referral programs for Faucets, cloud mining services, gambling sites like dice and poker, network marketing links and Bitcoin storefronts.

Earning Bitcoins with Pay to Click sites and Faucets starts out slow, but if you visit all the top paying sites a few times per day while building your referrals you can start to get consistent autopilot earnings:

These payments were referral earnings from Microwallet faucets just advertising them on my blog and PTC sites.

Here are some more payment proofs:

Faucets are pretty useless for bitcoin, but for small currencies like dogecoin, they are very good because if the value of them rises like crazy you will have lots of money. Imagine collecting 0.1 btc per hour on a faucet 3 years ago. At the time it would be worth nothing, but now, 55$ an hour for clicking one thing and entering a captcha? Thats crazy! For the other altcoins, faucets are a necessity for me because I develop lots of scripts using daemons for other altcoins, and I need some coins to test them out.

True, since it switches between various websites and you can't vouch for the security of those sites, then it is recommended to run PTC sites in a virtual machine.

If you find a site that claims to pay you more than a few satoshi
per click chances are you've stumbled upon a site that won't pay you.

PTC sites are usually not worth the time. If you would go outside for the same amount of time as you spent on
those sites you'd most likely earn more by picking up dropped change.
