Would You Use PTC Sites To Advertise

I know a number of people who use PTC sites as a former way to advertise , Hell even some use them to make money online I know I still use them. But do you use them to advertise and have you seen good results.

PTC sites are Paid To Click sites, meaning someone uses this services to place ads and other members get paid a little percentage to click you ad and view it for a number of given seconds. So do you use this service as a way to make money OR Advertise on.
I use for both as they do have a number of great impressions on your ads. But the only downside is many members who click your ad aint that much botherd about the ads as they click them to earn and often do not pay attention.

Hmm tbh, I've only used PTC/GPT sites in the past to earn from. Whether it's been from clicking links to doing surveys. But that was many many years ago and the earnings for/from PTC sites were very low. GPT sites paid more but was time consuming and boring. I earned more by referring people to them than I did actually doing the surveys and stuff. And what you've said is about right for the reason I've not used them in the past to advertise with. Each time I've considered it, I've remembered how mostly those people aren't at all interested in your site/offer since they are only doing it to make money with. And the chances are they don't have much money to spend on your site/offer since they are clicking those ads to make money with in the first place.

It/they could still be used to get some clicks and traffic from, but overall, they aren't really highly targeted and high chance of converting visitors though for this reason. But if you're only paying a small amount of those ads it's not a major loss.

Which PTC site(s) do you advertise with if any then Kev?

I wonder if you can advertise SEOClerks with them using your affiliate link?

If you want to promote your website and want quality traffic then avoid PTC or Traffic Exchange. These system will just give you useless hits. If you will not be able to attract visitors then how longer you can get traffic with PTC or traffic exchange ?? Beside I personally don't like PTC or Traffic exchange though I tried them once..But if you just want hits only then go with it. But still its just waste of time. I always try to attract visitors with my site content. However, I believe that many people like PTC and traffic exchange..

I have been clicking on PTC ads for years and earning little money, but I have not try to advertise on those PTC sites before. I guess it depends what kind of business I would like to advertise. Some businesses might not catch the clickers' attention at all, then I wouldn't advertise there. Moreover, I read that Google does not really like PTC or traffic exchange sites, I am not sure how true this is, so I might just stay away from PTC sites if I want to advertise my business.

I have but would never again. As you pay people just to view your site for just a few seconds is not quality traffic and those people would not interact on your site or really view products. Using Ptc sites can also be detected by many affiliate marketing sites and therefor you could actually start losing money when getting your traffic that way.

I never used or use PTC sites as a former way to advertise because is too expensive and I risk on not receiving the traffic i want. I would use other kind of sites to add advertising campaigns, and example of this kind of site would be Fanslave or FanDealer. Some of my friends used Fansleave and it sure boosted the traffic on their blog.

No For sure I would never use PTC sites to advirtise my Products or website the reason is,
most of people I mean Ninty percent of people who click on the ads from PTC sites Are not those who are interested in products but those who wants to make money from clicking they don't even care about reading or Payattention at the ad they clicked so I would not advirtise on PTC site If I want quality trafics on my Websites.

I think will never going to try PTC site to advertise anything. I always used PPC ad networks with good targeted traffics. It always helped me to the generate right amount of money and also some regular readers for my blogs and other contents. You should try PPC ad campaigns like Adwords, Bing, and Facebook.

I've been through PTC sites before as a clicker and honestly, I didn't pay much attention to the ads and neither can I say that the company advertising through these sties are credible. It can be good if you simply want to impress Google or other entities with your traffic but otherwise, conversion is a dream. I'd really prefer to pay for quality content on my site to drive organic traffic with higher chances for conversion.

Ther is nothing wrong with using such sites as a means of advertising as long as the needed visits to the sites are d0ne and goods services are being purchased on the sites.
