I did a search and though we've talked about it, it doesn't look like we actually created a topic about it. So here is the clixten topic and what better way to start it off than with news of a site promotion

Pff.. I got my 1.000.000 pack about a week or two before the promo..  [smiley=sad.gif]

Now I'll have to consider getting another one..  ::)

As of now, I'm not seeing this information in their advertise page?

I guess we have a new tip for ourselves:

It's always good to hold off regular purchases in December knowing that some site will probably be putting up advertising for sale. If we were to save up money for that specific time, we could save a lot of money by buying in bulk

The same goes for black Friday in October November  ::) and site anniversaries

Yep, December is a month of promos everywhere.
For Clixten so is November.

I've made a smart play last November, if I do say so myself. I managed to rent and extend 200 referrals before upgrading to gold, everything with discounted prices.
And I did it this way because base RR price is $.15/month as Free and $.19/month as gold. So I renewed referrals at standard price and now benefit from the click rates as Gold member. I'll probably let Gold expire next year before extending all my refs and upgrading again. That's a 20% saving.

However it's proved to be very successful for me to run a promo on my own site during November..
Maybe that's because other sites are waiting till December to run their promos so there are few promos available during November granting me an advantage.. ;)

I'm kind of experimenting with the clixten rented referrals right now to see how much they earn when you just rent them outright. It looks like they lose you money unless you select autopay. The great thing about autopay that  I have never seen at any other site (though I may just have not paid close enough attention) is that I have 5 (out of 55) referrals that are actually gaining time. They have 31, 32, 33, 36 and 37 days respectively. So that is really cool

The reason I chose clixten for this experiment is because I have no direct referrals or any residual income from the site so it is easier to read the numbers

BTW, those 55 referrals were all built up from an original rent of 20 referrals ($3 left over from that big advertising buy in December). I've just been recycling my cash to rent more referrals and haven't extended anything. The autopay and click rate is so good here that I still have 10 days left on my oldest referral. So I'm compounding wide instead of deep here. Every time I am eligible to rent I use what cash my referrals have earned to rent more

That strikes me as a bit odd. Are you Gold or something? Because as a Standard member, my trusted spreadsheet tells me you need an average of 2.25 if you use autopay (10% discount). And as Gold you need to save up for renewing that membership.

No, just standard member

Are you accounting for the compounding growth (via referral renting with the earnings) I'm getting in that?

What I don't understand is how you even have the money to rent more referrals.

I mean, as standard, you earn $0.002 per click. 55 refs cost you $0.247 per day. That's 124 clicks. Are you getting all that?

I'm getting about 80 clicks per day from my referrals and I just buy more when I earn the money. According to the earnings I've earned $8.362 so far

So I see what you are saying. Those 80 clicks should only earn me $4.8 over 30 days. That is not counting the referrals I would be compounding over those days

Even with compounding, if these new refferals don't click like madmen, you'll end up with the same problem, until the house of cards suddenly collapses.
I'm afraid there's no dodging math on this one. Now matter how many refs you get, your BEP won't go down. And if you're not above your BEP, you can't sustain an account.

You might want to re-read my great rented referral guide  ;)

Dun Dun Dun, another Paypal account bites the dust.....
And another gone, and another one gone
Another Paypal account bites the dust...

Seriously, Paypal is going all Terminator on PTC sites.
Maybe it's better if new PTC site don't even consider adding Paypal these days.

Pff.. thankfully I didn't buy refs through PayPal there or sth.. I think all PTCs dealing with PayPal should withdraw anything from their PayPal balance and give up on PayPal once and for all.. New PTCs should definitely avoid it..

As for disputes, after being rejected for my purchases on YGP, I'm even afraid to open a dispute for those on Clixten..
I don't know if they will go nuts against my own account.. after having requested so many in the past..

Yes, me too. Opening too many disputes is a fine way to get your own account blocked.

I don't know what to think. I just deposited some cash in order to rent some referrals. I go to that section and see this notice

There are not referrals available to rent.

:-?

so does that mean they are actually renting real referrals or what is going on here?

Edit: I just checked and now there are 20 for renting  :dontknow

Though many people of EMS are fond of the word "scam" (they call a program"scam" too soon), but I saw this thread a while back.

Venkat, are you a member of Clixten?

The last I checked, here's the stats:

339 New Members
     
535601 Active members
     
$325,243.96 Total Paid

And here's the link to the payment proof page:

http://clixten.info/index.php?view=payment_proof

I still think the 1,000,000 PTC Credits for $100.00 was a very good buy / sale that I bought last Nov 27, 2015.

As a matter of fact, I still have 379,000 PTC credits left.

And I've been promoting DM PTP, DM PTP points (i.e. also promoting Em-Traffic in DM PTP points) and EM-Traffic, creating very good synergy among them.

And also have the daily max clicks set to 1,000 for each site.

And here are my Clixten's PTC stats:

DM PTP Points = 98,000 clicks, 283 outside

DM PTP = 158,000 clicks, 1707 outside

EM-Traffic = 162,000 clicks, 1631 outside

And to give you an idea on how much this is contributing to the synergy, I've also got 121,097 hits to my DM PTP in Em-Traffic (i.e. also 141,198 total hits to all of my sites in Em-Traffic).

Yes, this is why it puzzled me. I believe in the integrity of the site. I am in no way calling it a scam and with the size of that member base primarily and the third party stats as you say(I am getting about the same results and am also happy with that purchase), I was willing to risk a little more investment in the site to see if I could increase my cash flow there

They have earned that much from me. I didn't want the DRs because they are never available to buy and will die off anyway so I was going to go for the RRs but I have never seen the not available sign up before (it is back BTW)

I am not sure if that is a good sign or bad but I don't want my money sitting there dead and I'd like to have a full compliment of RRs before I upgrade or it is a bit of a waste of money

so..... :dontknow

Yes, sometime we just simply go to our own experience with the program. Besides I also suspect that the person who just posted the link to that ems thread (i.e. with its last post also being last January) is not even a member of the program to begin with. It's one thing if he doesn't join in our downline, but it's another for him make negative posts about programs we like or are doing well with and that it also doesn't involve him. And from what I've gathered, it's not the first time he has done that in the forum. ::)

If you want to rent RR, do it before ugrading. Preferably extend them for a year. After you upgrade, the price is much higher, so renting them is not very effective.

so with about 450 RRs I was getting 900 clicks. 2 for 1 and it has been  that way from 0. Pretty good I thought. Now at 611 referrals I'm getting....1050  [smiley=sad.gif] :dontknow

I hope not. I haven't cashed out yet. I was going to build up to 1000 RRs and then start cashing out. I'm at 897 now so I should find out soon.

Was this in their forum or somewhere else?

yes, that's called giving you the business  [smiley=lolx.gif]

So I've settled on the strategy of having and maintaining 1K RRs in clixten and YGP until I build up my processor and BTC cash. Then use that for sales etc. to lower my costs

That is my goal to the end of the year

Family I'll play by ear but I'll work on getting my ROI out

Yes, that happened to me too.

Today I requested my first bitcoin cashout at Clixten.
Fee: 10% + $0.10  :censored

This goes without saying, but try to use another payment processor to cashout. Not that I know which is fee for each of them. My topic about that went unanswered in the forum.

If these sites stick us with any more fees and 'taxes' they are going to have to change their names to government  [smiley=lolx.gif]

I was convinced bitcoin was the cheapest processor to use in most sites, maybe because Twickerz, YGP, Goldenclix and Silverclix have zero fees.
But clixten at 10% and Ultimateclix at 7.5% made rethink that. Then again, everything in Ultimateclix has a 7.5% fee, so maybe you're right. It's a PTC run by the government. Run!

I still think the 1 million PTC hits for $100 is a good buy. It also helps that you're able to promote the PTP's in there. I'll be on the lookout for them to come up with this bargain again. Hopefully this coming November which I think is their anniversary.

If it was run by my government nobody would ever make a profit..  ;D

Our current tax is 24%, and I'm sure those that request a payout would have to wait a couple of years to receive it.. IF they ever receive it and their case doesn't get lost in bureaucracy.. lol

I was getting kind of tired of waiting for my first cashout request (made on 29-Aug), since it's now at 31 business days. I sent a support ticket and it turns out they gave 10 days off to staff during the end of summer, so the 20 business days turned to 30 for that period.

Wow.. I didn't know they were that slow in payments..

As for delivery look at today's traffic I received from them:

Maybe it's the title and the location it shows up in the page that attracts the extra attention.

I've just checked and my ad is now second in the long list of nano ads.. maybe this is why it gets increased exposure these days.

I think it helps to create a new one every now and then instead of extending the same ad, because this way it goes back to the top the list.

I have it set up to have each ad receive 1K maximum clicks daily.

Yes. But if you take a look at their payment proof page, you'll see that a lot of members are also getting paid in there.

Finding topics about that is pretty common. Usually they just say blah blah 20 business days, contact support for more information.
All I got was that they had a 10 day holiday in summer so it was taking more time. In any case I requested cashouts on 29 Aug, 5/13/21/28 Set, and some of those have more than 30 business days under their belt.

I hope not. I'm still getting tons of clicks to my ads in Clixten.

I've tried to check the forum for anyone that would also note when he requested payment and when he received it.. with no luck.

At such cases it helps to know if there is a date being currently processed and if it's getting close to your withdrawal request date.

But nobody states it.. however in this post there's someone who got paid once at 2016-09-18 and received a second payment 2016-10-16.

The amounts are tiny though <$1 which kind of sucks because they may be using their funds to pay little withdrawals just to have lots payment proofs popping up in their list and delaying the larger ones to their benefit.

Is this your first payment there, if not how long did previous payments take?

Another concern is that they haven't updated their news since last December. People may not put a lot of importance behind this but it is quite often a sign the owner has lost interest in the site since it is such an easy thing to update

Yep, that's bugged me for some time as well.. loading the site and noticing that "Christmas Is Here !" with the date of 19 December 2015.

Anyways, at least the traffic amount they provide is still good.. not the best quality but at least the best quantity making it my No.1 source.

It's my first. Not too long after my investment (through Paypal), Paypal limited their account, and since I only invested through another payment processor recently (Bitcoin), I hadn't got a chance to withdraw earlier.

I'm still on the lookout to see if they'll have another 1 million PTC's for $100 sale in their anniversary next month.

No it's a single login.. just login to Clixten and open the board of your interest.

There should be a "New Topic" button (a black one) at the top right corner of the page unless you don't have rights to post there.

But I think their forum is fully open for posting.. I see I can even open a new thread in the "News" sections where I shouldn't..

I don't. As of now, I'm only having this dilemma with this forum.

Right now I'm just using Ad-Blocking on it (no script blocker) and this is the proper location of the "new topic" button:

This was the answer!

The funny thing is that I just wanted to ask them a simple question. If they were going to have an anniversary sale next month, particularly the "1 million PTC's for $100" and that some marketers would be interested to purchase it. I did ask ask in a ticket once recently, but the assistant was unable to answer the question (i.e. it's up to the admin).

Oh, yes there was this rule.. I now remember facing it once in the past and did the clicks just to be able to open topics..

Do you think you could ask them about the upcoming anniversary sale in the forum? If you could, make sure to specify the "1 million PTC's for $100" sale particularly, ok? Thanks.

I don't think they would like to share this info publicly before the promo, as it would ruin their sales until then.. plus it would spoil their surprise.

Besides, their 4th anniversary is on the 1st of November and that's exactly next Tuesday, so I think we should simply wait it out..

They'll probably post the announcement on Monday as they've done before, so I'm looking forward to that! :mon_eyes

Ok. But maybe if we don't give them a nudge, they won't do it. Alright, maybe I'll try another support ticket.

I'm sure they'll have plans for the anniversary.. but either way I asked them about this specifically:

http://clixten.info/forum.php?topic=737385

Well, it seems that they did not offer the promo we wanted (even though we "nudged" them..  :-/ ), they only packed 1.000.000 PTCs with a bonus of 1.000.000 banner impressions..

Maybe those previous 1.000.000 promos were the cause of their payment delay problems, so they may have decided to stay away from them for now.. Maybe this is why they stayed silent on our queries..

Either way what's more concerning IMO is this new rule that bottom lines the promos...:

It's kinda hard with the way they post news.. they just edit the first post in the thread so we can't know for sure what was there before editing..

Last year, their holiday sale was posted on 12/19. So I do not know if we have to wait that long till they post the next one?

So they announced opening an offline franchise. I wonder if they are planning an exit from PTCs soon. Maybe they would be open to putting up the site for sale. Then the four of us could buy it  ;D

SS,

Could you send a pm to the admin through the Clixten forum if you wanted to?

Not that I expect you to. I'm just trying to determine if it's worth it to do the required 100 clicks so I can send a pm to the admin later on?

Thanks.

Nope, there's no PM function in the Clixten forum at all, so if it's just for that you don't have to bother with clicking.

However you may need the forum access for future purposes..

Clixten has more than 100 ads available so it's doable even in a day.

I have sent another ticket asking about the payments and they say they are under review and will be paid as soon as possible.

Hmm. Ok. Cause I thought maybe I could send the admin a message privately to try to encourage her to have a "1 million PTC's for $100" Xmas sale or something. Maybe if needed, I'll post it the forum and try to give her another nudge. Let me do it this time. I'm not even sure if the admin reads the support tickets to begin with.

It wouldn't make sense for us to buy "1 million PTC's and 1 million impressions for $200" at this point even with the additional impressions and all, cause that would be like going backwards.

Still waiting *sigh*

From my side, their advertising service is losing quality and potentially my trust in a way that I think I'm gonna turn them down soon..
My credits there get wasted at rates like this:

https://i.imgsafe.org/5dbcfb47ca.png

And I say wasted because on my side the past [2 days] 48 hours (not just 24 hours), I have only received 2736 hits (not unique visitors) from them..
They've somewhat went too far on me these days.. and I've been supporting them monthly for 3 years now.  >:(

I've tracked and found out that lately I've been receiving less than half the hits they say I do, which is unacceptable.
So, I've opened a support ticket asking them to check my case out and let me know what goes wrong.

Let's wait and see.

And here is the reply:

Administrator, Wednesday, November 23, 2016 at 04:30 PM Hi, here is Sam, There was a server issue and clicks did not reseted, today you did not loose 8000 credits because of 8000 clicks. SAM

I checked again including yesterday's and today's visitors so far and I get 3627 clicks on my link from clixten...
I've ask them one more time if they have something to say about this and I'm waiting for another reply..

This is my message after they told me about the server issue:

Quote:

This makes some sense and is understandable, however it still doesn't justify the big difference.. The problem is not just with today's activity.. I'm still tracking almost half the visitors of the credits that get drained on my campaign.. For example, the traffic I received the past 48 hours from Clixten reaches ~4000 hits, but at no case close to 8000. There seems to be a flaw somewhere. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the way the clicks get distributed?

Like I thought... they're kind of mumbling and avoiding the question..

Quote:

Hi, here is Sam, The cronjob did not reset ptc ads, and thats why you got arround 4000 hits, but its show 8000 from 2-3 days. The cronjobs should come back to normal in the next hours. SAM

I'll continue to track it but the loss is true already..

What are you using to track the hits?

dansbanners wrote on 24^th Nov, 2016 at 4:45pm:

What are you using to track the hits?

2 different PHP based custom trackers and one that my host provides (Awstats).

My first tracker is based on the link that is loaded etc for clixten : http://www.ptcbox.me/ads/?campaign=161115_100000_Clixten
The campaign parameter is parsed to date, number of PTC credits assigned to this specific campaign and the program that is associated with it.

And my other tracker tracks visitors based on the referrer provided by PHP's $_SERVER parameters. It detects where the visitor is coming from regardless the link used and also indicates if it was a direct link (loading my page directly from the address bar/bookmarks).

I've checked my traffic from clixten with all 3 of those and they all tell me that I am receiving almost half of the credits that get spent, which is why I'm disappointed by their service these days.. it used to be much better in the past.

Would you look at that:

I'm at 3 of 4 daily required clicks and the site keeps crashing  :-?

...and you all wonder why I'm so paranoid  :(

Maybe it's just that I have good crash radar so I always know when to show up

Yep, it's similar to last year only today I'm not sure I'd recommend that PTC pack, because based on my last few campaigns' stats I only receive half the visitors I actually purchased while my credits get wasted..

They didn't share with me the reason this is happening and simply walked around my questions, so the deal now actually looks more like ~500000 visitors @ $150.. which translates to $0.0003 ver visitor, it's ok but not as flashy as before, and I'll personally give them a break for now.

Maybe test them with the 4000 credits for $2.00. And then either promote DonkeyMails PTP or use the Clixsense campaign as a tracker for a "2nd opinion" on this matter?

Also, set the daily max clicks to 500 or 1,000.

I have 20000 credits left untouched so I'll try that clixsense tracker just for the sake of it. :)

Good. Glad to hear you don't have to pay for it. :)

Now if only they would use the money from the promos to actually start paying people with looooong pending payments.....

So, my 20000 campaign for Clixsense ended on Clixten and the Clixsense tracker reports 16346 hits of which 16071 were unique.

So, just 20% of the total traffic was lost there..

Either they improved their quality or there's something wrong when they deliver hits to my domain..

I'll probably give it another go once I fully upgrade my site.

At least the good part is that the campaign got me 4 direct referrals on clixsense. :)

It's possible that your domain could have played a factor. The PTC's was working pretty good the last time I tried it.

That's good about the 4 clixsense referrals! :)

They keep sending the Christmas sale letter. I wonder if buyers have tuned them out?

It seems almost as if maybe they're trying a little too hard. Some may also be a little concerned about the payment issue (i.e. will the order last?).

Also, going from "1 million PTC for $100" to "1 million PTC for $150 or $200" was going backwards in some aspect. At least it was in our case.

Well, they did some tiny adjustments to the content but that does not exactly justify sending it 3 times.. :)

You can see the updates they did each time here:
https://i.imgsafe.org/c05504de16.png

The columns order goes like this:
(22/12) - (17/12) - (14/12)

Although in fairness to them, "1 million PTC for $150 or even $200" is still cheaper than it is in most PTC's.

That's true, and since my Clixsense campaign indicated that they actually get people to sign up using our links that's also a plus for them.

Posted Today at 12:12 Hi dear members, I am comming with some news in order to fix some issues related to verifications and payment delays. From this moment we will decrease the number of days till the payment will be made from maximum 20 business days to maximum 5 business days. Due the excesive number cheaters with fake accounts, fake referrals, fake upline (piramidal referal system), and due the excesive number of payments to be verified we will do a wipe out of payments. This means all pending payments will be deleted, all memberships changed to standard and balances will be deleted. Insteed all direct and rented referrals wont be deleted, they wont be deleted. From this moment the minimum withdraw is set only to $2 so new members and standard members to be able to withdraw easier even after 1st request. Also in order to stabilize more our website we will change our standard ads for standard members to $0.001 per click. All this changes will affect many but will be beneficial not only to Clixten to revitalize it, will be beneficial to all our members that will continue working with us. By tomorrow all new members will get $1 to purchase balance & Silver for 1 week, this offer will end in 120 days, in order to regain trust of our members and encourage you to promote and get more referrals to earn even more. Now is the moment to promote. There will be some changes over entire Clixten, like reducing minimum withdraw, changes over memberships, no more maximum withdraw, and offering shares (the maximum shares avaible to be sold is limited to 10.000 only, hurry up to get some). Shares benefits are that for every share purchased you get : 1.000 - PTC Credits ; 10.000 - Banner Ad Credits ; 100 - Points

:o

No surprise I guess. I stopped working them over a month ago because I seemed to be getting nowhere. So I guess this will kill it unless they have a good amount of cult members to believe  [smiley=sad.gif]

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. Pay $75 and get Gold status, so I that I milk the 200 days I have on my RRs or just sit still and do nothing.

That's a risk because you don't know if paying the $75 is going to send that into a black hole also  :dontknow

Considering what they did was akin to a swap, for the time being payments should come. And since being gold increases my earning speed by 2.5 times, to a daily $2.5, within a month I should be able to get those 75$ back, plus whatever comes after.

Yes, that is true. Though we are assuming that the 'swap' is not just another attempt to squeeze every last drop out of members before they cut and run

;D

So they have now introduced revenue shares.

I think I'll throw some bucks at this as a flyer. At least Ill get some advertising out of it

This is good. I don't have PM but I won't be withdrawing for a while. I'm going to go for golden membership. The shares are $10 each there and you can buy 50 of them. So I'm sinking about $200 into this one but I don't feel like I'm risking much (I'll take my BTC out when they are worth 50K so I won't need to worry about the fees ;D ). Looking at the numbers on the points contest tells me there is a lot confidence in the site still and that it creating cash flow if many of those points are connected to deposits.

The member base has a lot to do with my decision here too. Since I can get advertising with the shares, that should result in a good amount of clicks

There really isn't any point in paying them 10% for cashout fees. Good ol' bartermyfunds is excellent at converting BTC into PM at a very low cost. Plus you help the team. Btw, you should have some more comissions from some weeks ago.  :money

Yes, commissions are slowly growing there.

And come to think of it, if I were to take a cashout it would probably be in Payza since that is so much more versatile for me. If I cash out it is to buy advertising on another site but most of my sites are fully funded so I am more content with my cash and advertising growing in each one. I can avoid fees completely that way, still stay diversified and build up a huge base of avertising with these share purchases.

YGP has given me way over a hundred thousand free clicks and that is growing. I plan on doing the same at clixten but my investment in that advertising will only be about $200 (which, once upon a time, seemed like a lot of money in this arena but now seems like enough to buy a good stake in a site  :-?  ;D )

Of course, that all ignores the deposit bonuses which should also be factored into the equation

Many sites can use perfect money now, including YGP, Twickerz and so on. I think Payza is not a good option for cashing out on twickerz or YGP since we get double the fees. The site charges use 5% and Payza another 3% or so. I believe clixten's fees on payza aren't very attractive, but I can't be sure about that one.

I hear ya.

So one frustrating thing about Clixten. I just deposited $100 in BTC in order to qualify for a 15% bonus. The problem was that by the time they got the money, the price had apparently shifted so it only worked out to $98 and change. So they denied me the bonus and said I needed to deposit more.  ::)

This is for a customer that just finished depositing $100. It was no big deal to me, I could deposit the extra $5 (because it is a $5 minimum) but I think they need to be a bit more customer friendly. Most sites would eat the difference

And one final thing. My $200 plus upgrades plus share purchases (all point contest qualifying actions) landed me at only 54th place in the contest.  :o

That's pretty good.There is lots of activity there ever since the 'swap'

Can't login to Clixten. Captcha won't take. I was logged in but the image verification was broken so I reported it, logged out and now cannot get back into the site

It's fixed  :phew

Any problems with cashing out of late? I just maxed out my available shares to purchase. I don't want to spend money for the next upgrade and my shares don't expire for another 25 days so the cash will be sitting idle. I also don't want to spend on RRs as I haven't had a very good experience there either with this site

So I'm wondering if there is still problems with cashing out? Do I just have to sit on that money now and benefit from the advertising?

I see the payment proof section is relatively quiet for such a big site averaging three or so a day

Payments are back to the old 20 business day sh*t. I have four pending payments, one of them back to the end of July.
Can't say I'm optimist about this....

I just put in a payment request for $9. I'm posting here as much for a time stamp as anything else

I haven't used Clixten for a while now.. I just login from time to time to check my account.

At least these guys have not removed my referrals for not logging in for a month or sth.

Before the swap they just let your account go dormant which you can restart with a support request. I don't know if they still do that but I don't see why that would change  :)

Did you guys get paid from Clixten?

I noticed a speedup in the payment proofs page..

There seem to be ~30 payments daily the past few days in their payment proofs page.

What's interesting about Clixten is that their shares offer 1000 PTCs each so I would be interested in using those for R4A.. and still get my investment back with interest. That's if their whole system works though.. :)

I forgot to answer this. No, not paid yet

The wiped the pending payments clean....



Again....



Fortunately, they were only sent back to the main balance, and from now on they implemented a steeped cashout approach. Let's see if they pay now.

I think switching to stepped payments is actually a good thing..

It will prevent standard members from spamming the system with $2 payment requests thus increasing the workload and the queues..

As long as they don't reduce the maximum each membership can request that would be fine.

Of course that is if they now pay on time.. let's see. :)

...or pay at all.

So I'm no longer going to attempt to cashout there. I'll use my earnings to buy 'things' like upgrades, referrals, shares, etc.


Maybe that will help the site get stable since they are that ill

They do sell direct referrals there. They are expensive at $2 per but then again, it is only play money anyway  [smiley=lolx.gif]

Either way I would still recommend doing a cashout, in order to post your payment proof and boost the confidence in the site for other members as well.. I think the site needs that as well..

It's always encouraging to see some big cashout every once in a while in the list.. it's inspiring for newcomers as well.. and you can always reinvest your cashout if you wish.

Buying direct referrals for $2 each... hmm... I would down vote that...  [smiley=sorry.gif]

You're better off buying their "shares" for the sake of some extra advertising.. you can even use that on R4A. ;)

There is that but I'm more concerned with how the admin will perceive it. If they see me cashing out $20 or $30 then they might extrapolate that and think that will continue happening down the road. That could cause them to panic and do something stupid regarding cash or cashouts (like another swap)

I will buy the shares but I can only buy 50 at the level I'm at. I'd need to go up to the $500 upgrade level to get to the next share level so I'll be waiting for a while anyway. At least with the DRs The cash will be working and more permanent

I also haven't had very good RR success there and it is a bit too soon to buy advertising straight out

If I let my cash build up they might be tempted to grab it not knowing what I and other cash holders will do

RRs are actually fairly easy to manage. I have 500, Gold Membership, stick to longest renewal time and recycle those who haven't clicked for more than 7 days. It's quite a steady way or earning.

You figure 500 is the sweet spot or are you building higher?

Build higher in a site that's hardly paying?  :-?
Besides, couldn't do that if I wanted. After the big balance wipe 'm having trouble renewing all my current referrals. Probably will have to decrease my downline.

What I do know is that it's best to renew referrals while a standard or silver member for a whole year, and only then upgrade to Gold. Prices are cheaper when you're silver  ::)

:-?

They just changed their name to Buxten

http://clixten.info/index.php?view=home

[smiley=lolx.gif]

Do you think anyone will notice?

This should help cast off the stigma of the old site  ::)

Wow. Who is advising these people?  :-/

I was about to say, I wonder what they were thinking.. but then I read their announcement in the forum..


Quote:

Hi dear members, We are comming with a good and bad news. 1. The good news is that Clixten will be reborn as Buxten and the new domain will be Buxten.com. Within couple of days all the texts, images, banners that reffer to Clixten will be changed to Buxten. Please inform all your refferals that Clixten will be from now on : Buxten . All that have advertising campaigns change your refferal link from clixten.info to buxten.com . Within couple of days Clixten.info will not be anymore avaible, you will need to enter on Buxten.com Important to know is that the database, files and informations were not affected, only the domain name was affected by this group of hackers. 2. Due the last couple of days we are fighting against a group of hackers, and we are intending to open a process against them and the company that permited the transfer of the domain without any kind of confirmation. Thats why Clixten.info is not on our hands on this moment, and we decided to take a new domain and secure it before is too late. In order to compensate this we are comming with a $100 points contest that will end on 20 october 2017. During the contest all new members will receive SILVER membership for FREE for 15 days and $0.25 to Purchase Balance. For all members we bring some HOT offers that will be avaible till the end of the contest.

Now I wonder even more..  :dontknow

I mean aren't they a hosting provider themselves?
Don't they host their own site on their own server?

What exactly did the hackers hack..? Their domain provider?
And managed to switch the ownership of the domain to them? :-?

This looks like an all too familiar pattern.

Are we going to see the famous DDOS attack next?

At least they can't blame paypal for shutting down their accounts

And now, due to them not receiving much income due to the domain thingy, all pending cashouts were returned to the main balance AGAIN, and withdrawal fees were increased to 50% this month, supposedly descreasing 10% every month until they're at 5%.

Gotta hand it to them. At least they're creative  :P

[smiley=lolx.gif]

it's funny but it's not.

I'm just going to focus on buying 'things' like referrals and shares. No point in cashing out and they probably can't handle it anyway. It is better to turn the cash I get there into tangible things on the site

I can't believe the number of positive things happening today. I think I should go out and buy a lottery ticket.

Seriously.

Buxten share market has reopened!  [smiley=12-party.gif]

So, if they keep on paying on time, I'd consider investing $120 to start building an additional stream there.

$120 would grant me silver membership for a year plus the following:

20 shares @ $5/each returning 130% after 4 months that means $130 so the membership will be fully paid back and I will get a pure profit of $10 along with the full ROI that I will probably put in for another 4 months.

Additionally 20 shares will also get me 20000 PTCs that I can use on R4A for an extra bonus (~$5).

The next 20 shares that will be purchased with the ROI, will return $130 in another 4 months, so that's another $30 and another R4A bonus, and by the end of the year I'll be clear for another $30+$5.

So, to sum it all up that's $120 for a return of $100 + $70 + $15 = $185 that's not too bad for a start.
Now to some critical questions.. :)
[olist]

Is the time frame of revenue shares fixed?

Do we need to click daily in order to benefit from the shares?

What happens when one owns etc. 20 shares while Silver and upgrades his account to Golden? How much will these shares pay back after the upgrade?

Also how can they keep up with the share profits? Is there some kind of investment happening with our money etc. like BTC miners in FBTC?
[/olist]Maybe I should ask these questions in their own forum.. does anyone here already know the answers?

Now to some critical questions.. :)

Is the time frame of revenue shares fixed?

yes, always 120 days. The higher the upgrade the greater the return

Do we need to click daily in order to benefit from the shares?

no, only your RRs

What happens when one owns etc. 20 shares while Silver and upgrades his account to Golden? How much will these shares pay back after the upgrade?

What happens is you earn at the level you originally bought. So if you bought 10 shares at silver, upgraded to gold and bought 10 more, your first 10 would earn at silver rate and your second would earn at gold. When your silvers expire, you can then buy and replace them at gold

Also how can they keep up with the share profits? Is there some kind of investment happening with our money etc. like BTC miners in FBTC?

It is more like the FC shares than the FBTC shares. It is like a confidence game, dependent on the revenues. For this reason I'd be very careful. I'm only expecting this to become in house revenue that I can use for advertising. That said, the user base is large so if you want to build free perpetual advertising, then this would be the thing. I think the only way you would transfer cash out over the long term is by getting referrals from there and using sites like R4A

And just a reminder. Rui is having a horrible time cashing out here. If you put your money in, expect it to be gone forever. If you don't plan on using this for an advertising source, you might be disappointed

You have been warned  :)

Wow.. you've covered everything including the "What would you recommend..?" question that I would probably ask afterwards.. :o  ;D

Are you in my head or sth? :P

Ok, that's a lot of useful info to process and consider a plan there.

Many thanks!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

No, I'm just answering your questions and then answering the ones I think I would ask. We both have the same objectives, to make money online and/or to build huge ad machines to do the samre. Looking at a site from that perspective, it is easier to come up with answers and recco's

They are one of the few PTCs that let you know in advance that they will take your money

[smiley=lolx.gif] [smiley=lolx.gif] [smiley=lolx.gif]

So, I'm thinking of using their shares system as a standard because the advertising included is interesting. :)

It's only $20 and grants 10000 PTCs and 100000 Banner impressions.

If it all pays back well, I'll re-use the earnings later on.

Yes, and the price of the advertising is pretty good too. With the cash flow you will be creating you should be able to buy some good on site advertising

Well, I made it to 50 shares on golden membership which is the maximum we are allowed to own at the level. That will pay me $5.8 per day for the next 25 days until my next shares expire. So I have some cash flow building that I won't even try to take out.

The next level upgrade is $425 (currently $75 off)so I won't even try to get to that since it would be months off. I guess what I'll do is go with Rui's RR idea and build up the cash flow there. Then maybe create some advertising

Actually, I would recommend you rent referrals when your Golden Membership is about to expire.
Why?

Because RR price starts at $0.15 if you're a Free or Silver member and $0.19 if you're Golden.
So the wisest choice is to rent referrals right before your membership expires, extend them for 365 days once you're Free member, and then immediately upgrade again to profit from the higher comissions as Golden. Rinse and repeat next year (if it's somehow still around)

Did you write that properly? Do you rent them before or after the membership expires? Maybe before because you can buy more?

I'll definitely keep that in mind though. Save up for the big day though I don't like sitting with dead money on my account not working for me

Hmm.. true, I think he meant afterwards.. it makes more sense this way. :P

I'm also taking advantage of the milestones this way, as I go on YGP, first extend as much as possible with a lower price, then get more right before the next price tier.. With more RRs the prices climb, same with memberships on Buxten.

I rent them before, since you can only rent 100 at a time or so and you have to wait some days before renting again. So if you want to have more than 100 refs, it's best to start renting some days before membership expiration. That way, once you become a free member again, you already have all the referrals you want, so you can extend them right away and upgrade. Otherwise you'd have to wait some days as free member until you could rent again, and during that time your referrals would be earning half of what they should.

Understood. Thanks for clearing that up

Another one bites the dust?

This is a victim of the payza collapse. In their note to affiliates they said they were going to change their format but tonight the site is down so it remains to be seen if they survive

Victim? If you ask me it was just another excuse, like all the others before.

And apparently, it was a false alarm. Here is their notice BTW:

CHANGES IN BUXTEN In the last 6 years we have done what we could to raise our company, but by time we have been hit hard. Paypal - over 90% of our sales where from there, when they closed down our account, they lockeck over $50.000 and raised a debt of arround $250.000 that we are still fighting with them in courts. Payza - was 5% of our total income when we had Paypal, but after we lost Paypal, this payment processor become the main processor with a 90% of total sales. They disapeared with over $37.410 and this was the thing that created this mess on Buxten. I know that I did not come with any news for a long period of time, but I did not give up and closed down Clixten (actual Buxten), that was raised by 0 like a baby. We are working to change the website to a different thing where actual members and new members can earn money and in same time to be able to advertise and promote theirs programs. This week the lattest changes will take effect on Buxten, the new changes will be seen in the upcoming system. Everything will be changed, also we are working to implement new payment processors as soon as possible. I know is hard for all, just think, everyone could think that lost couple of dollars, tens, hundreds, but we have lost couple of hundred thousands in our journey, but we dont give up, we are doing everything possible so all can benefit from us. All ideas are welcome and we are trying to implement many things to earn easy and more money from Buxten, stay safe, and stay tunned !

At least their advertising is still quite active  ;D

What always surprises me is the people who will line up in the forums and kiss the admin's :censored
