[b]1.- First of all, we need to look what this GPT Program offers us. A reliable program will never offers you a lot of money for a simple click or mail. The easy money WILL NEVER EXIST.


2.- The minimum payout shouldn't be so high. A reliable program in english have a 25$ minimum payout, and obviously pays. For a strange reason, you can trust more in a spanish program than in an english program. But there are few excellent english programs with no-minimum PayOut.


3.- Another form used for detect SCAMS is doing the thing I call "The advertisers test" that it's absolute. One program that don't pass this test, is a SCAM or a Multimillionaire webmaster that give more money against less money. Here's an example for a GPTR Program:

# 0.25 cent Email, 1000 clicks, timer: 20 seconds - $3.00
# 0.25 cent Email, 2000 clicks, timer: 20 seconds - $5.90
# 0.25 cent Email, 5000 clicks, timer: 20 seconds - $14.90
# 0.25 cent Email, 10000 clicks, timer: 20 seconds - $29.90

We are going to look on 10000 clicks plan. If we apply maths here, we can see that the webmaster is paying 10000X0.25= 2500c=25$. And he's receiving $29.90 for the ads. It's a good deal isn't it? And know we are going to look for another GPTR Program, that it's a SCAM. First I think it was not correct to use the names for the webs, but we need to inform users. This prices are from StrongPTR:
Paid To Click Advertising
1000 X 2 Cent Paid to Click 30sec timer $1.0
2000 X 2 Cent Paid to Click 30sec timer $1.8
5000 X 2 Cent Paid to Click 30sec timer $4.0


1000 X 5 Cent Paid to Click 60sec timer $1.3
2000 X 5 Cent Paid to Click 60sec timer $2.5
5000 X 5 Cent Paid to Click 60sec timer $6.0


1000 X 10 Cent Paid to Click 90sec timer $1.8
2000 X 10 Cent Paid to Click 90sec timer $3.3
5000 X 10 Cent Paid to Click 90sec timer $8.0

Look last one for example. 5000 ads on the page worth 10c each one. And you can purchase it for 8$...
5000X0.10= 500$

Who give me 500$ if I give him/her 8$???


4. READ THE TOS It's not funny I know, but you can give yourself bad surprises...

Here's an example of ENERGYMAILS
"Affiliates may earn by receiving paid-emails and visiting the advertiser websites after they have entered their member ID in the area on the website provided by energy-mails.com. Affiliates may earn by referring new affiliates to the energy-mails.com program. Affiliates will earn a percentage of advertising revenues collected by energy-mails.com. Affiliates will be paid via E-gold/MoneyBookers/StormPay/IntGold/PayPal/Check or Wire Transfer. energy-mails.com will pay affiliates when their balance reaches the minimum payout rate set by energy-mails.com. Members of energy-mails.com may request payment anytime the want because of no minimum payout. Payments will be made within 100 years or a reasonable time after. Admin fee for payout is 100%."
Read carefully: "Payments will be made within 100 YEARS or a reasonable time after. ADMIN FEE FOR PAYOUT IS 100%."
Do you need an explanation of this???

5. Read carefully and look that you can know all of this before you sign-up...
*The money you will win for every email, click, etc.(You can read this on advertisers page)
*The minimum for NONPREMIUM members
*Payments methods

6. Remember that only one in a thousand programs (seriously) pay. Choose it carefully.


7. A form that you can use this 999 programs is redeeming the "money" for ads on the web. Almost all this pages redeem your "money" for ads, and they put your ads. With this you can promote your referal link, a PTP, etc.


8. Look out the TOS. Almost all the TOS says that you will receive your money on XX business days. This XX seldom is more than 60. Almost never 90.


9. Experience. You need to make mistakes to learn. Don't worry, abandon that program and go to another.


10.- Remember that you will never be rich with this programs. NEVER. Only if you are register on +100 programs and each program have +1000 referals of first level
