I'm considering focusing some advertising campaigns on Scarlet-Clicks as it seems to be a suitable program for me to work on.
It's been online for a good amount of time (almost 5 years now) to inspire some trust in this industry and it only has a less-than 7 days payment waiting period so it seems to be stable enough.

Also it has no direct referral limits, offers referral ad commissions to upgraded members and the best part of it is that it doesn't require daily clicking to earn from our referrals' clicks.. so it seems like a fire-and-forget investment which is my close to my needs..

Have you had any positive / negative experiences with it?

I used to use it often back when cashnhits had its PTP system working, and before eurosPTP cut the points earned by half.
It's able to deliver a good amount of traffic at a good price. Plus, it can be country targeted. Something that it's usually more costly in similar sites (e.g Twickerz)

So.. I've been wondering for some time now on Scarlet-Clicks..

I have 38 direct refs there out of which 2 are super clickers and I'm getting 50~60 daily clicks from them.
As a standard member I'm only earning only 40% of their clicks so that is a tiny amount of an already tiny amount..

The $50 Yearly Silver upgrade would grant me 100% of that plus additional 5% ad purchase commissions from them in case they advertise too.

Since they are both star referrals (they have made 11166 and 5804 clicks each, since 2014 and 2015 accordingly) they may be potential advertisers there as well.

A good thing about Scarlet is that it doesn't require daily clicking to get credit which saves me from a lot of pain, unlike YGP.

Now maybe Rui could guide me through this if he's already in there with RRs, would it be an interesting idea to invest $50 on the membership and get some RRs as well to get it working for me?

Since my direct refs already give me 50~60 clicks daily it could take some stress off the RRs, to hit the BAP.

Sure PayPal may struck anytime, but since SC haven't touched the "shares" word ever there and they are online for 7+ years now it should be considered somewhat safe.

I believe in: "trying may lead to success or failure.. but not trying at all will never lead to success anyway.."  ::)

What do you think? :)

I think it's a good idea.

Just a heads-up. It is not explicitly stated in any part of the site, but earnings from direct referrals per click are $0.001 or $0.0005 depending in which ads they click. But from rented referrals clicks are always worth $0.001 (This at 100% referral clicks, of course).

That said, with about a year and a half with 2000RR under my belt, I can say referral averages are very stable at this site. More than any other PTC I'm in. You can safely expect RR average of around 5.4 everyday, almost no recycling at all.
BEP (not BAP - you've been too often on Paidverts, snake  ::)) with 50 referrals on Silver is 6.24, with 100 referrals 4.87, and with 200 referrals 4.19.

It's diffult to know exactly how much your direct refs earn you each day, due to clicks having two different values. Assuming on average each DR click is around $0.00075, when you have daily 55 clicks, by upgrading (going from 40% to 100%) you earn $0.024 more each day. This means that you should get above 50 RR since what you gain from you DR by upgrading cannot compensate big losses with RR if you play below the BEP.
Overall, I can say I'm satisfied with RR at Scarlet-clicks. Up to 200 referrals on Silver membership is a no-brainer for modest profits. Above that threshold you need some tricks and timing to make the best out of it.

@Rui - Thanks a lot! It's always great to have someone do those maths for me! I think my brain gets too messed up when I get down to it lately and I'm only closing on 30..   ;D
And OMG.. I said BAP.. ..and I was wondering why something about it felt so wrong. lolz.

Next month *sigh*

One question I have Rui. When a site talks about our earnings from a referral, is that the money we have earned after expenses like autopay have been factored in or do we need to subtract that from the total?

One thing that bothers me about the whole rented referral thing is sites don't do a very good job of explaining and I think this is deliberate. I think this helps them to take advantage of people's mistakes and that is just not right

It always shows total earnings fom referrals. The expenses depend on the extension period, possible discounts, so on...
Most sites PTC run of scripts with their own limitations. I don't know if they even can add more complex data like that to the rented referral information page. At least on Neobux you can install a script that shows you the profit from each RR.

So, just noticed Scarlet-Clicks became 7 years old and they have announced a few deposit promos (for deposits of $100+).

They have it from time to time and so far hasn't caused problems with Paypal since despite everything the business volume is not spectacularly high. But then again PP has gone on a total frenzy lately.

Focus on the growth. Focus on the positives. Just some constructive advice. ;)

P.S. And I'm not even a member of this program.

Also, it's one thing to try to be constructive and practical when a problem does occur, but it's another to do an "imaginary". IMHO.

Just a little heads up for some of you guys who aren't on this site every day.

The admin is running a big promo in advertising with 100000 PTC credits and 1 million banner credits for $50.

That's a nice deal at a very competitive price

And I've just noticed that they have disabled my account due to inactivity..
I had a bit lower than $5 there and I guess they've most likely reset my balance already..  [smiley=sad.gif]

Anyways, I've just sent them a support ticket to reopen it... let's see..
I hope they haven't removed my direct refs as well...  :-/

Sorry to hear that SS. But I always keep track of making sure I occasionally login to different programs even the ones I haven't been making much of a use lately. To make sure they are to remain active. And maybe you ought to do the same?

Good news, they've reopened my account and my balance and my direct refs are left intact.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Now I just need to remind myself to check back in every few days to keep it going.

I just put in a ticket to reinstate also. The site is huge now and I think it is time to make use of it. The ad rates are pretty good. I'd like to see how effective the ads are.

Rui, I think I am in your downline when they reinstate. so you might have some benefits coming to you.

Can you guys tell me about the PTP? I think the last time I was there they were just getting it started or were having some problems with it. Do they PTP all affiliate pages or just a special PTP page like tradition PTCs do. Are there any restrictions? I'm wondering about this because it would be cool to promote this in r4a if it is non-traditional

I like the idea that your PTP rate is based on how many signups you get. This gives people the incentive to get active referrals

Another compelling feature is their use of skrill which is my main cash flow account right now

It's a very good place to advertise, especially with featured text ads and banners.
I'm getting a constant 0.20+% CTR on those which is just awesome:
https://i.imgur.com/6QrHTu1.png

Their banner ads have similar CTR but the delivery rate is far less, or perhaps there are a lot of banners in rotation at the moment:
https://i.imgur.com/GwY7ZO6.png

Stats above are shown 2-3 days after ad purchase date.
These are dirt cheap and can get you good results.

Thanks for the insight.

I see them as a tier or two below your site in reach but more highly targeted to the PTC crowd for obvious reasons. Once again, I'll test APTC here to see how effective their banners are. Since I have a rough idea of how they work elsewhere it will be a good test.

$35 for 1mm banner impressions is a pretty good deal

SS,

I just realized it was twickerz where I was under Rui.

Their solution for me was to delete my account since I was inactive since 2019 and let me sign up again (let this be a warning admins. You never know when old accounts can suddenly reactivate and become a source of cash for you)

I'll join you in the DLB, SS. Are you still under the same link?

Yes, good point. It was the Twickerz ptp that was on and off, I believe.

The SC looks promising though. Here is their front page info

It says personal referral link but I don't know if that is a dedicated PTP page or all the site referral links. I'll know more when I get inside

SC is acceptable for PTP at apple too, Dan. I don't know if you saw that. If we could build up some cash flow via RRs or something, then it might be profitable. Just buying ad credits and showing the Apple PTP would be a money loser though

It does, but the money it gives is based on the singup ratio. I can go from $0.01 to $0.40 per 1000 visits. If you get less than 0.01% signups, it's the lowest tier. If it's higher than 0.1%, it's the top tier. Then there's stuff in between.

Yes, it is based on your normal referral link which is unique in the industry

moneymarketing wrote on 26^th Jul, 2020 at 6:15am:

So I'm thinking the best way to use this system is to promote their banners. Then when you get a few signups, run the full page. The banners are going to be much cheaper to advertise with but will not get as many full-page views. So you can give the site broad-based exposure that way and still get paid for it

I'm going to start with a $50 investment in it. I've rented 100 referrals and bought 100K banner impressions which cost $4. Hopefully, the referrals will pay for upgrades and more banner impressions. I'm sticking with the usual plan of recycling all cash into upgrades/referrals/advertising

I should be clicking my 4 every day, SS because I have my RRs so You might want to follow/upgrade to most benefit from that. I don't know when I'll upgrade. It depends on my RRs and PTP earnings  :)

and one other benefit. Because the PTP is the actual front page, this site would be eligible for rotators and PTP ads. That gives them an advantage ahead of all the other ptp ads out there

However since your username still exists there, so will your email.

It's more preferrable to just send them a support ticket with your username (dansbanners) and your email, and just ask them to kindly reactivate it..

Btw, I see MM in my downline.

Not that unique. Goldenclix did it first, although at lower rates.

And don't rent referrals as standard. It's not worth it. You only get 40% of the click values.
This is not zigma, averages don't change depending on if you're upgraded or not.

Never mind. I found the answer myself.

I see I came in 128th in the PTP leaderboard with 152 visits, not too shabby since I just wanted to wet my beak to get an idea on how it works.

By the way, does their incremental earnings banner work? Cause as of now, I'm still seeing $0.00 on mine even though I did earn few cents?

Yeah, they work alright. I can't seem to put their links here (the ? gets removed  :-/)
But they look like this:

Maybe I need to pass a certain earnings mark before it shows up in the banner? I could ask Scarlet Clicks about it.

Thank you all for your responses!

Yes, those are mine. I''ve been a member there and at GPTPlanet since 2013, so I had a long time to build up those banners. ::)

At GPTPlanet it's over 50k earned and 17k payed out.

They are still impressive compared to some of the other marketers out there.

Yes. It seems that the banner is working for the long time members or whose earnings are above a certain mark?

It looks like the PTC community has accepted FP.

So now I'm getting the download file popups when I sign in to the site. For a site with over 1mm members, this is very unprofessional. I wonder how many people are being duped by this?

This could also be a sign of trouble there. Be cautious.

No popups showed up when I signed in. But Chrome did block some redirect, which is new.

Mine also blocked a redirect and a bunch of banners maybe popups too..

I think the evolution script has an embedded way to add certain advertising networks that also perform redirects and many owners (etc. the whole Zigma network) take advantage of it for monetization purposes.

A quite unprofessional method like MM says though..

Today I'm not getting any redirect warnings

It's not us I'm worried about. It is the people that don't know any better that will be harmed by this. These things are always designed to take advantage of the people who can least afford them.

Yes, they have disappeared for me too. I guess it was a rogue advertiser or something.

Probably. None of his other sites had any issues. I might have seen a cardboard box sneaking away, though.

Well,  :censored

"Dear members,

I am at the sad position of announcing the closure of Scarlet-clicks,Gptplanet and OptimalBux.
The sites will stop their operation on the 1st of August 2023.
Unfortunately, since 2018 the company was not able to recover.
Financially we faced a huge loss (almost 80% of our total funds) due to Payza,closing in March 2018 and later in 2019 the cryptocurrencies collapsed.
Also since 2018-2019 there are a lot of members who either stopped using the sites or are leaving the sites.As an example,currently we have 1/4 active members than what we had in 2019.
In 2021 we faced another financial challenge which was caused by Covid-19 and the global financial crisis.Withdraws skyrocketed but we still managed to keep everything smooth and to pay our members.
Despite my best efforts I am unable to keep the sites online , since for years now I haven’t earned anything from them and the downtrend on the whole Paid to click industry continues.
Because I was always honest with you, I will try to make the closing of the sites as smooth as possible.

Members with a ROI higher than 100% will not be able to withdraw.If you make a withdraw it will get cancelled and the funds will not get back to your account balance.

We will focus on paying the members that haven’t had the time to recover their investments.

Members will not be able to rent new referrals or extend the current ones.

The registrations for new members will be closed.

Regards,
Scarlet-clicks,Gptplanet and OptimalBux admin"

Sorry to hear that. At least they're going on about it on a professional route.

By the way, YouGetProfit seem to still be operating on a pretty good basis if you're looking for another alternative?

ROFL. It's been almost a year since I was paid in YGP or related sites. Actually Twickerz much longer than that since they blocked my posts in their forum, and subsequently became unable to post payment proofs to request another payment.

Sad to hear that, I still kept re-opening my accounts there up until recently just to keep a view of how things were going with them.
They wouldn't even remove my referrals when deactivating my account due to inactivity, while twickerz and others gladly did.

But I agree with Dan there, it's actually a professional way to close their sites down, announcing it early on and sticking by for a couple of months trying to give at least some members a ROI..

They could have always just shutdown and let everyone wondering.. so I'll give kudos to the admin for that.
Also they could have gone the Zigma Network route, by silencing everyone and just keep collecting whatever falls in..

By the way, was the Scarlet network working well for you up until recently?
I mean were they generating a profit of some sort..?

Yes, it was. Slow and steady, like all the years before.
I agree it was a professional way to do it, but it's still sad.
But with this ends 99% of my the revenue from PTC sites....

I had some inside-info on this since over 1 year ago. Things weren't looking bright for them since then.
For some reason they refused to sell (even though they had the chance to do so), hence they're closing shop now.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't sell my work either if I'd get myself into that situation.
It's a pity, but just another day online.
Another will take their place shortly, no doubt.

Sometimes it's just that they would like to keep their name clean for future opportunities.

But it's also understandable that they wouldn't want to sell their business to someone that would probably take advantage of their brand to scam people big time..
