Upbux Admin has officially announced shutting down of business operation just today for not resolving Paypal issues. Paypal has frozen 85% of their funds and they are unable to continue as a going-concern. They are now asking for its members to file a refund, although I doubt if you will be successful coz you have purchased an advertising package service and most services are non-refundable. Most transfers from Paypal balance or credit card or bank account to your Rental Balance in a PTC account are non-refundable if you are going to issue a dispute for such matter, because you can't say you failed to receive the item purchased, remember you never purchased a product you purchased a service so this option in not applicable. If you are lucky and the transaction happened within 30-day duration using your credit card you might get it although very unlikely. How can you say its an unauthorized transaction if it took you more than 24 hours to report issue, so that option is lame. All im saying is, if your money went to the Rental Balance its as good as gone, never get your hopes up coz its useless. You can only apply for chargeback for the following reasons only:
Paypal Account is LIMITED There are many reasons why Paypal limit your account. Either a certain situation has come to Paypal's attention that you are engaged on an unauthorized activity, you received too many transaction disputes or complaints from your customers, your account is unverified etc. We can't know for sure if many upbux members file disputes due to a certain number of days that the site has been down. I can understand why some people get so impatient they are tired being scammed one after the other and it always happens when the site is down for more than 24 hours. It's not a good indication for most people. Although they do know its a good program and if that's what happened, its a pity, another downfall for a good program ruined by its own members. Same fate on what happened to svbux before. Another reason may come from the numerous transaction held by a site, there is always a ceiling for the amount of transaction, the cashout threshold remains at $2, having thousands of members withdrawing small amounts could have a negative connotation. Most users may have panicked those past few days and withdrawn their money one after the other. This volume of transaction may have come to Paypal's attention and labeled it fraudulent. We can't say upbux has initiated a material amount of withdrawal thereby resulting in an unauthorized activity coz it remained to have an instant payment solution just before it shutsdown. But its a big question mark for a site having a limited Paypal account to close other payment processors like Alertpay and LibertyReserve when they are readily available. Too bad Upbux is gone, I expected more from it, but we can't do anything about it anymore but move on. There are a number of contributing factors why this stuff happen. Many PTC sites have turned into scam, the availability of a cheap-priced script has encouraged most scammers to open a site and just do whatever they want... A chain-reaction that most members lost faith on the PTC world, regardless how good the program is, how i wish it is still here fighting the odds but it just gave up... No more Personal Payment from/to Indian Paypal Users The pressing issue on Paypal on Indian users also have a number of reasons. They keep on sending personal payments in bulk and where do this come from? From Referral Deals Commissions! Most people want to join PTC sites and get paid for everyday or every week, sending numerous transaction of little amount. In the accounting world, a transaction is material and can have negative connotation even if it involves a small amount if the transaction volume is too high - likely unmanageable. So if you wish to take care of your own Paypal account I suggest you stay away from Referral Exchange at the moment. Limit your transaction to atleast $1 and make sure you send and receive payments properly categorized and not always a gift. Just imagine receiving a gift from 10-20 people everday or every week... PTC Latest Updates 01/07/2010
Latest Updates Verbonix has refrained from showing ads and just decided to open their site to advertisers or members who would like to make offers to fellow members and pay them to sign up and be an active referral on their chosen program. Their promo regarding free rapid share premium accounts is still active, all you need to do is to refer as much member as you can. Since it ceases to become profitable, investing in the site is no longer feasible and effective. Exobux formerly known as Avobux has again been suspended by their web hosting provider. I'm not sure what their issues are but no further news had been provided by the admin until today. Twinsbux is online despite the lack of advertisers. Flashbux has been rumored to be a scam. Enbux is having server issues again I keep getting the Request Timeout Error. I still can't log in to bux.ee eventhough I have updated my Adobe Flash plugin but it seems to be doing well and paying. Indoclix has paid me, im still waiting on the current progress of PTCInnovation.... and I have reached payout on Clixsense, my account was showing that the check has been disbursed for payment last December 10 but I'm still waiting for it to arrive until now. I have sent support ticket regarding the issue and told me that whole process will take 4-6 weeks for international users. I just need to wait a few more days. Latest PTC Updates 12/28/2009
The most recent updates are now available regarding the new PTC's established on December 2009. We will determine which site has potential and those that are showing eminent disclosure or common scam indicators. Do take note that the following are first hand experience and not a heresay ------------------------------------ Top Performing PTC Sites upbux, neobux, wordlinx, clixsense, buxp.org, palmbux, trekpay, clicksia, incentria, jphfbux, coinclickxsalary, hkbuzz, clickers.net New PTC Sites with great potential verbonix, bux.io, mappbux, ptcinnovation, buxpool WatchList flashbux, omnibux, rustbux, indoclix, izybux, --------------------------------------------------------------- PTC Sites with Known Issues Astrobux Latest Update: Astrobux ceases operation after all promotional efforts. I feel bad about the most recent investors lured by the $35 upgrade promo released last Christmas in desperate efforts to save the site's financial instability. In hopes that the admin can pay pending cashouts he opted to invite more investors who will bring more money to the site, the fund rightfully belongs to the investors and not to the members with pending cashouts whose funds had been significantly depleted. He said he had AP instant cashout when it is already suffering from negative balances. Paypal have frozen the account due to possible fraud and illegal transaction due to uncontrollable variables like member disputes and chargebacks. Yesterday's updates The site is currently experiencing Paypal documentary issues, and I'm hoping that it will be resolved soon so Paypal cashouts will soon be available. Alertpay cashout is in normal operating condition but I hate the fact that the payment processing had been lengthen from 24 hours to within a week for Golden members and within 2 weeks for standard members. I'll stop investing in the site coz I've grown impatient about the bugs and the site administration. The ongoing site maintenance is causing too much burden upon users who will click their ads during server time reset. Most members stopped clicking because they are annoyed by the performance of the site. The referral system has gone worse with this recent developments. I have never received my payout yet after days of waiting. Rest assured you will be paid, but its causing too much irritation due to impatience on other members. Rowbux Despite productive efforts by the admin, the site is in huge trouble for running out of cash inflows or advertisers. The have temporarily disabled cashouts for Standard members they have the option to convert their earnings into clicks until such time when the site gets back into its feet and find quality advertisers that will bring cash inflows into the site. Referral earnings have been reduced significantly from 25% to 1% or $0.0001 for standard members and $0.001 for upgraded members. They have removed the monthly upgrade feature and opt to retain the annual premium to avoid upgrades ending prematurely. I really hope the site can survive, but the way it is running right now, I can't say if it can stand against this storm. enBux and Bux.ee I feel bad about these two sites I had such high hopes they'll make it big this month, but their flash oriented pages is taking a toll on some users who can't log-in. I have updated my Adobe Flash plugin, but for some reason its not working for me. enbux is experiencing bandwidth issues. I guess their server is not enough to handles that much traffic. OmniBux I have a strong feeling that it will scam very soon, the more you click the more you're earnings disappear. Most members have negative or zero balances after weeks of clicking. Don't invest. New Aurora Sites I still prefer clicksia and incentria above all else, but I did try a couple of aurora sites coz I'm getting disappointed by buxsites. I'll post my payment proofs soon as I get them. Sites with good potential are clicksan, buxpool, ptcinnovation, indoclix. Tibux The is using an aurora scipt but its a buxsite. It has cool features, but I'm still a little indifferent because of their server issues. If the site owner can't afford a decent server, how can you expect him to afford to pay its users? Clicksan High PTP, sad to say your efforts will only be wasted coz your promotion is not reflected properly in your account. No credits were given after weeks of promotion and now my account has been deleted. =( Avobux The site server is either down or dead. Upbux - moving on and moving forward 11/18/2009
The rise and fall of svbux made a toll on most members, specially investors. Now gone, all dreams seems to be shattered, I do feel a deep loss, despite the news that it will be coming back with Neobux on the scene. It is indeed kind of confusing but I can't speculate as to why or how it is involved. All we can do is wait. But, its about time to move on and seek for more sites that will bring profit while waiting for a vain hope, if there's any. I'd been a member of upbux since last month, but I have to admit that I've kind of ignored it for a while since svbux is there. Its a huge mistake, coz I'm supposed to stay vigilant, instead I let my guard down, acquired so many referrals, instead of saving as much as I can to buy what I need and want. Lesson learned, I won't trust the site so much anymore, I'll be more careful on my investments and make it diversified, don't put your money in just one basket coz they you lose it, all is gone. I forgot about that. I may have reap enough income on svbux, still, to may mistake I have upgraded to Sv Investor for a year which remained to be unamortized because of its sudden site shutdown. But now, I'm more determined to find more profitable sites. I do like ptc's because it only involves a small investment and its easier to manage unlike other online business ventures. So to my search I found upbux once again. The cost of renting referrals is only $0.20 each fixed, provided you are a Golden member, its not a step cost, there's no range, which is good indication that its enough to have 1.50-2.0 avg to profit. Its very cost effective and I kind of like the features of the site. Athough I don't gamble a lot, its a nice way to acquire funds and get the site going for a while. Its pretty sustainable and to my assessment it could last about a year, if their security remains to be strong and the admin is serious about the stability of the site. I know its hard to trust a site, but considering all the known variables provided for me, I did go for it and invested $70. $50 semi-annual upgrade and rented 100 refs. So far so good, Im not sure yet about the possibility of recycling because I'm only a day-old investor there. Im sure enough this could be a good one. Well see in the coming days. I hope it will. Svbux vs Neobux vs Linxsense 11/14/2009
These 3 are among my favorite PTC’s. I know most people new to this internet industry may find it a bit difficult to choose which is the best, rest assured these 3 are proved to be paying, see my payment proofs. "I support the svbux site but it will take more time before I can say that its better than Neobux beyond reasonable doubt. They still have a long way to go."  Legend: 1.0 Highest and 3.0 Lowest PROFITABILITY INDEX 3rd Neobux Id been a member of Neobux since Feb 2009, I only mainted 500 referrals coz a certain percentage is inactive, some of them hardly click and my referral clicks average is as volatile and unpredictable as the weather. It’s hard to maintain 1.0 average over a month and you need to recycle them regularly in able to manage your account well. Managent costs so much money just to earn a few cents each. At 500 refs I get around $100 a month, account management is as tedious as you could imagine, its depressing to see graphs fluctuating. Still, you’ll profit if you know the right way to do it. The worst AVG is below 0.50, with autopay on and recycling from time to time. Its easier to profit when you are Ultimate but it comes with a huge price $890 a year, I’m not that much of a gambler so I stick with golden membership and achieved ROI within my first month. For some reason I stopped investing, that’s when I found a more profitable site worth my money to invest due to high rate of return or ROI. 2nd Linxsense Linxsense referral costs are expensive and its fixed at $0.27 each, autopay cost is also fixed at $0.008. When it comes to rented referrals, 35% are non-clickers 15% makes more or less 1.0 AVG but the remaining 50% has 4.0-7.0 AVG, which is great. I only have 115 refs there, I let the inactive ones die and I’ve maintained 80 refs, from which 50 refs are the most active with 4.0-7.0 AVG. Since the refs are too expensive, I’m quite happy about that 50 refs that are active, and make around +$15 gross a week which is good for a new site. As to profitability this one comes in second. Invest only if you have money to spare because Im not sure if you can get your investments back if you don’t’ know how to manage your account. If you want to try this one, don’t recycle, just let them die and rent another since they don’t have a policy $0.05 penalty whenever you let your referrals expire. 1st Svbux As per payment proofs I must say that among the three, svbux is the best when it comes to profitability index. Since I’ve joined aug 7, the AVG never dropped below 2.0 not unless there are newly rents, but the AVG can peak upto 2.50. I’m targeting to get around 5500 refs and im now at 2000. At 2000 active referrals I get a minimum of $40 a day gross. It’s pretty sustainable, you can cashout weekly, rent weekly, and even play raffles if you want to. There are no unnecessary cost for recycling and much renewing, of course there are some you need to renew, but from my observation it only happens when the refs are 2-month old. 80% are clicking everyday, 20% are regular clickers but not everyday, some of them skip a couple of days. I have no non-clicker for 4 months, all of them are clicking and active. This for me is the most profitable because of the consistent AVG and very cost effective. It doesn’t require so much of a referral management except for occasional renting and renewing of the small percentage of refs. If you want to earn more, it will only require you to invest $300 which you can earn in a week with 2000 referrals, if you wish to do that then turn off your autopay for a while or just wait until you get cashed out enough money, either way you’ll get it back in less than 3 weeks or a week if you know how to do it efficiently and effectively. STABILITY and LONGEVITY 1. Neobux 2. Svbux 3. Linxsense Of course, nothing beats Neobux when it comes to stability and longevity. It remains to be the pillar of comparison among other sprouting buxsites in the net. Neobux is huge and we all know it will be there for a couple of years more. The admin knows how to manage his site, that’s the main reason why many members trust it. Those who have earned much from the site had been so comfy that they are satisfied already and uninterested on trying out new sites. I can’t take that away from Neobux, you can live your money there without worries that it could get lost and you know for sure its not going anywhere soon. Some of preventive measures or what the admin calls filters have made a huge toll on some of the users. It’s indeed annoying for most people, specially for those who can hardly manage their account and are only getting below 1.0 avg everyday. They hardly profit and spend too much. But if you stay rational and stick to business strategies you know he’s doing that for the site regardless of the harm it may inflict to small users who had the intention of getting their investments back and get more money from the site that is most kept from them. Svbux and Linxsense are new sites, they are nothing compared to Neobux security. Neobux script is well furnished, its so hard to see a flaw. I guess this is the secret of its success. Thousands of loyal members have unwavering faith and confidence on the site. Svbux site’s security had been compromised because its too weak, management had become so comfortable with the fact that the site is doing well when it comes to profit, letting their guard down and neglecting that there are predators outside patiently waiting to get an opening to secure their attack on site’s security vulnerability. Much damage had been inflicted, most new members left too soon and I can’t blame them, its just too early for them to see how good it is, because when they arrive the site is down and under DDOS attack. What a crazy welcoming committee. Linxsense on the other hand is not experiencing any issues regarding security, they are doing fine but I’m still waiting for the time where they can shine better to get noticed. SITE MANAGEMENT 1. Neobux 2. Svbux 3. Linxsense I believe Neobux is well managed, the admin knows his accounting, apart from investors view, which is on the contrary. Whatever he decides its for the betterment of the site and its survival. Svbux and Linxsense have much to prove although I’m pretty sure they will do great in the future if they will continue to improve their money making journey. They need intensive protection and more time to build reputation and gain the trust of its new members. There are serious flaws that can’t be ignored and this are the weaknesses that must be changed or improved in order to secure their position in the competition. MEMBERS’ FEEDBACK AND POSITIVE EXPERIENCE Neobux I’ve had a positive experience on Neobux, but this category will vary on individual experiences among 3 sites. I have nothing against Neobux except for their low AVG. But overall, when all is gone, I’m sure members who have fled and wandered will go back to its roots just for the sole reason of not having any good choices left. For the big investors there I’m pretty sure they have gained unprecented profits and they are content just having Neobux. Svbux Svbux is really profitable but the security of the site is always compromised. I’m afraid it will take time before new members will try and invest, but old members like me are pretty sure that its going to stand on its feet again. I have such high hopes on the site and I really wish it will escape behind the Neobux’s shadow. I want it to become beyond comparison, there are so much damage need to be repaired but I’m sure it will survive. Unless the admin, takes the security of the site a serious business, I doubt if the site will last a year or two. This is the biggest waterloo of svbux. Regardless of its profitability nobody wants to a site that is always down, its hard to give a reasonable assurance about its stability and reliability. Linxsense As to Linxsense which remains on the safe zone and in middle. It is neither cold or hot, I’m still waiting for its move so I could see the horizon clearly. It’s immeasurable where it should lead to, but atleast its always online. Security is weak as well, its too expensive not very newbie friendly when it comes to investments. CONCLUSION Which is the best site then? The true measure of preference depends on which is more important to you. Why did you join the site to earn extra money or you want to quit your day job, which is pretty stupid of course. Its too easy to weigh which is important, I love taking risks and I know how to get around it, so I choose profitability – svbux. I’m not sure if the site will last, although I hope it will, I’ve achieved ROI so I have nothing to lose, all is just a game of earning money so I play by the rules for as long as its here. I support the site but it will take more time before I can say that its better than Neobux beyond reasonable doubt. They still have a long way to go. I’m still a member of neobux, but I stopped investing, coz the money I put it will only reap a tiny portion and a certain percentage becomes a liability in a long run. It costs to earn money! I love the challenge of making money, but if there are easier ways to manage them, I choose the ones that are more profitable and have high ROI, strategically speaking, I know my accounting too. I can’t dispose it, coz its stable and reliable. Why is it profitable in svbux? What you earn in neobux in a month, you can do in svbux in a week. Linxsense, well, so far I have made small investments on the site but I can’t measure how long it will last. It takes time to build reputation and trust, we’ll just have to wait and see. Linxsense is just like any other site, you know they are paying but you’re not sure until when it should last. I’m here to earn money not to quit my day job, so when I see a profitable site I grab the opportunity. | Firefox Installation Instructions Download our Toolbar Includes Uninstaller(installs in seconds) System Requirements Windows, Mac, Linux Other versions: Internet Explorer Safari CategoriesAll ArchivesAugust 2010 |
