I have receiving a lot of queries about AlertPay being safe or not.

To be true, I have used AlertPay for quite some time, and I guess I am in a position to comment well about the issue.

There are a lot of good payment processing companies out there (Paypal, Moneybookers, AlertPay). Paypal is surely the largest and most convenient for most people. Before of their early start, most people sending or receiving money online depend on them. However, Pyapal happens to be inconvenient for a lot of issues, and although gets away because of their extremely wide acceptance. Nearly all online merchants accept Paypal for payment, that makes more people use paypal, which in turn makes more merchants accept paypal payments. This is a domino effect which has made paypal succeed over the years.

Paypal does have a lot of problems too, listed below:

• High transaction fees. Receiving funds for personal accounts used to be free, but now paypal applies 1%-2.5% fees on personal accounts too. The fee is even higher (upto almost 3.5%) for merchant accounts. The fee structure is absolutely ridiculous.
• Does not support a lot of countries, and poses problems for few others. For example, a person from Bangladesh cannot open a Paypal account. Also, a few days ago paypal declared that for the next few months, they cannot release funds for Indian members because of a clash with the Indian authority. With Paypal problems like these occur almost regularly.
• Limited withdrawal options. Paypal only allows members to withdraw money to their bank accounts, and only to the one enlisted for the account.
• Regularly locks account and ask for verification (credit card details to be verified again). They say this is done for safety, but hnestly, this sometimes get really annoying.

Alertpay, although not very popular, is very good. About reliability, you should not have any question. They are enlisted and as valid as Paypal or MoneyBookers. I have been using Alertpay for almost three years and never had any problem.

Additionally, they have a lot of good features:

• Low transaction fees. Sending and receiving money for standard members is completely free.
• Lot of withdrawal options. You can withdraw money through bank transfer, bank wire, cheque by mail, and credit card.
• Accepts members from all countries.
• You select an additional pin for your account which is needed for transfering money (apart from logging into your account using your password). This means that even if your account is hacked, one cannot just get in and transfer your money. They will need the pin, which you only know, and better, this is not even transferred to your mail account.

I personally use both Paypal and alertpay, and also moneybookers. I currently have a lot of online businesses and have to maintain all these three. But if you ask me which one I am most satisfied with, I am definitely gonna say AlertPay.

If you want an Alertpay account, Get your FREE account with AlertPay.

Apart from Alertpay, Moneybookers is also really good. Also, they have a wider range of acceptance and is accepted by merchants on a larger scale. You can give them a try too: MoneyBookers

IsabelMarco No Longer Will Pay Free Members: What Next??

If you are new on this page, you might like to subscribe to my blog for free. You will get regular upgrades on PTC programs and other money making ventures (with proof and support). Subscribe by mail or, subscribe to RSS feeds.

IsabelMarco is no longer going to pay its free members.

Admin said this in a recent announcement:
http://kevain.com/isabelmarcoforum/index.php?topic=9920.0

Whats your opinion about this? This is going to harm almost a million free members, whereas premium members are only very few relatively (~30,000).

Although I myself is a premium member, I apprehend that this is going to be doom for a lot of us and other members. Because:

• This will also result in a fewer no. of people joining daily. A lot fewer.

• Referrals we have purchased will stop clicking (as they are new members, ad unlikely that they bought a premium).

• Less trust on isabelmarco, and we all know, if isabelmarco goes down, the whole ptc go down (i am going to leave ptc for sure).

• All pending payments of free members will probably get deleted.

If this whole thing was to avoid cheaters (as the admin claims), some better steps should be taken instead.

1. Introduce captcha confirmation after ad (like ear3, extra10).

2. Introducing captcha confirmation (or requirement to click a button) before ad (like neobux).

Most probably, IsabelMarco is turnig into something less good, actually, i fear more. This was the ptc we trusted most. If it goes like the others, we will nolonger go on with ptcs.

We are really, really not happy. Readers, wait a few more days abd lets see what happens. We will keep you updated. For people who have not joined this site already, please do not join it now. Lets wait ad observe.

Here is the forum discussion going on about this topic:

SCAM ALERT: Clickin.Me Cancelled Alertpay Withdrawal Option And Now Supports Only Wire Transfer

If you are new on this page, you might like to subscribe to my blog for free. You will get regular upgrades on PTC programs and other money making ventures (with proof and support). Subscribe by mail or, subscribe to RSS feeds.

Now, this is another new scam site, with an innovative idea of scamming.

They just canceled all payout requests through alertpay. And they are now only offering cashout through alertpay, god knows for what reason. Now lets go with what we have found out, and what are the facts.

LOW CASHOUT??: Because of the low cashout, they used to say, that they were receiving thousands of cashout request everyday. For that, they were making the delays, since handling such large volume of cashouts each day was not possible. And more, they refused to raise the payout level from $2, since they believed such a low payout was the reason behind their success.

BANK FEES- SO ARE THE CASHOUT REEQUIREMENT LOW ANYMORE??: So why are they initiating bank transfer then? Bank transfer fees are very high, in some countries its as high as $20 per transaction. In no part of the world a bank transfer is possible without a fee; a fee which is never too low. So effectively, you cannot cashout $2, since this will leave nothing in your hand after the fees are cut off.

WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM WITH ALERTPAY??: Well, they first set up bank transfer as an option besides alertpay, and no one had any complain. Now they are asking for bank transfer only, no alertpay. What the heck is their problem with alertpay? If handling payouts are too tiredsome, why cannot they shift to an instant paying script, or just raise the payout, or require minimum number of clicks for payout?

DESPERATE BANK TRANSFERS??: When asked why they are so desperate about bank transfers, they only have one logic- "The world's best companies use bank transfer for paying affiliates". They even mentioned Adsesne as an example. Dude, WTF? I understand Adsense and clickin.me are both advertising agencies, but how can one compare these two? Adsense solely makes Google the world leader in the business today, and Adsense is the biggest reason of Microsoft losing their no.1 position to Google. And you guys- a thousand dollar worth of ptc?

SALE SALE SCAM: They just had a sale going on a few days back, which is still running on their site. All referral packages and premium memberships were discounted by 30%. And just after a lot of poeple bought a lot of referrals and premium memberships, they changed the cashout system. They even did not give any pre-annnouncement. Now suddenly, people have realized their money has all been wasted. When asked for a refund, the admin says no refund is possible as per "TOS". Now, its pretty obvious why they initiated the cashout change just after the sale. Easy money stolen.

WHAT ABOUT 18- PEOPLE (age less than 18)??: A huge portion of ptc clickers are below 18. And even in their TOS, nowhere its stated that a member should be above 18. Now the problem is, in alot of countries one must be above 18 to create a bank account. What about them? With no bank account, they can no transfer, so no cashout. IS NON-PAYMENT A PART OF CLICKIN.ME TOS?

YOU PLAN TO STEAL MORE MONEY??: Now its clear, with bank transfers, one cannot cashout low. So you gotta reach big amounts (maybe $50+) to get a reasonable amount in your hands. Okay if you plan to reach that amount clickin yourself, but that will take months (almost). Sorry, you wont get help from referrals, they are not that dumb to continue clicking. So to earn good, one will have to consider buying referrals, and premium. Ahh, more moneys lost. I can guarantee that you wont get active referrals, as there won't be that many stupid members. However, this won't apply if they sell you bots (which they will be doing soon most probably).

MEMBERS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT??: In answer to a statement stating members as the most important part of their ptc, the admin said "advertisers are the most important". They got advertisers? With no one to click anymore, how many of the advertisers will stay interested? No one. Nil, zilch, nada. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ADVERTISERS TOO.

WHAT CURRENT MEMBERS SHOULD DO??: Bid good bye to the site. This is for the good of the whole potc community. If some of you stay with them, then more ptcs will be encouraged to use the same systems, in the process robbing a lot of users. Better, spread the news. Post in money related forums, alert others, blog, do everything else. Inform your referrals too, enocurage them to boycott the site. Help them shut down quickly, without cheating any more of us.

ThinkBux Under DDos Attack

We already know about the recent stream of Ddos attacks on each and every ptcs one by one, and Thinkbux is next on the list.

The site was offline for a day, and they came back with protection from BlackDos. But still, the site is not working well, and there are frequent errors, problems with viewing ads, and delayed payment.

However, Thinkbux remains as one of the best sites out there. They still pay extremely fast (24h) and have superior support, although payments for the last few days are being delayed. Our full support towards them.

Join ThinkBux if you have not already joined.

Thumbs down: Earn.nu Admin Disappears

If you are new on this page, you might like to subscribe to my blog for free. You will get regular upgrades on PTC programs and other money making ventures (with proof and support). Subscribe by mail or, subscribe to RSS feeds.

We used to highly regard Earn.nu, and they were one of our top list. They used to have a lot of innovative features, and paid on time. But currently, they are just going down. The admin disappears every now and then showing stupid reasons, and now he is gone "On Vacation" where he has "no access to internet". Just the time when he was needed most (continuous script errors, referral problems, renting problems, serious cashout delays, problem for premium members with instant cashout, etc), he disappears again.

We used to have fair earnings from this site, but now we are dubious about the future of Earn.nu.

So viewers, please keep an eye on them, and we discourage people to join/invest into the site currently.
