Method: PTC
Script
This is one of many new PTC sites to
be using the faulty script from
YourOwnBux.com. The script is
notorious for having the worst
security in the industry. For this
reason we hope this site has
invested in some extra coding help
to tighten up the security and fix
the bugs or it won’t be long before
the site is hacked.
When checking the advertising page I
notice something quite bad is
happening with the layout as half
the website is overlapping into the
advertising text field making it
very hard to read.
The last thing you want to see on a
site using this script is bad
general coding as it makes it look
like the code could be wrong on the
security too.
Design
Another problem related to the
script in use here is that it is
much harder to give a site a unique
design due to the formatted layout
restrictions. However here it does
seem that they have done all they
can with it to produce something
unique such as the colour scheme and
unique logo. One way they could have
made this site a little different
from the rest would have been to at
least do something different with
the poor TOS page that comes with
the template.
Advertising
Advertising prices are fairly
reasonable here with 5000 ad views
for $30.00 and 10000 for $50.00.
Because this site does not hold a
proper URL it unfortunately cannot
be traffic checked on the Alexa
chart but given how long this site
has been around for it is not likely
to be very high. So far there are
only 2809 members signed up.
Referral system
The referral system here is 100% for
standard members, this is great but
the prices are not the best for the
buyer or the site itself. This is
because 10 referrals cost $12 which
is about $2.00 over the industry
standard for 10 referrals. The
problem for the site is that the
value gets worse the higher the
package as 20 referrals cost $25.00
and 35 are worth $40.00. Usually a
PTC site will have better value for
money on the larger packages to make
them sell more which in turn
generates a better profit for
sustaining the site.
Upgrades
The upgrade at ConceptBux is fairly
cheap as far as PTC upgrades go,
coming in at just $10.00 for 1 year.
The upgrade includes 0.02 per click,
15% referral earnings bonus and 5
free referral added to your down
line. It of course comes with
priority payments and is stated to
be just within 2 hours of
requesting.
Performance
We found 10 $0.01 ads to click when
testing this site which is a great
level of performance and probably
due to the very cheap advertising
prices. They clearly have the right
set up for advertising here, most of
which are ads regarding other PTC
sites. As previously stated the down
line is 100% for standard members
and the payout is fairly low at just
$5.00 which makes this a great place
to earn high amounts and fast.
Conclusion
Hopefully this site will sort out
the issues regarding the script or
maybe change to a totally different
one all together. The site is
missing a few key features such as a
forum and proof of payment. What the
site lacks in it makes up for with
high performance but for the sake of
the sites own longevity it would be
wise for the owners to sort out
their referral pricing and install a
forum.
