PTPs
What is Paid To
Promote (PTP)?
For the longest time, I resisted doing PTP,
simply because I didn't understand it - and
couldn't get a reasonable explanation on how it
works. I was given a long litany
about "tiers"... and basically I decided against
it, it just seemed way too complicated to bother
with.
Then I was shown HOW to do it, and I've been
kicking myself ever since. It's the EASIEST WAY
TO EARN ONLINE!
Basically, you join a site that offers PTP just
like you would with a PTR site.
You can find the PTP link/s assigned to you by
going to your member area. In the member area,
you will find a link called Paid To Promote, PTP
Main or PTP Overview. When you click on the link
or select it from the drop down menu, it will
take you to your PTP area.
There you will
find:
- The PTP link/s assigned to promote
- The sample banners and the codes which you can
promote. If you are interested in promoting any
PTP banners, please make sure to host the banner
elsewhere if you are not allowed to hot link the
banner.
--To host the link elsewhere - open up a free
account at photobucket.com , imageshack.com or one
of the other free image hosting sites.
--Right-click the image of the banner that you
want to use, and choose Save Target. Then copy
to a file on your hard drive and rename it to the
program name (so it's easy to find later).
Here's how I got started in PTP.
I joined a few programs that a friend recommended
to me, then I added the links to my em-traffic
account. (Make sure that the program you are
advertising on is listed in the approved sites
with your PTP program!)
I then assigned
which Tier I wanted to see my link. Credits that
I earn each day by surfing and doing the PTC
links are automatically assigned. Voila! That's
all there is to it!
There
are literally hundreds of approved sites with
each PTP program - you'll have no trouble finding
places to run your ads.
Following is more information and the rules
regarding PTPs:
Some programs with PTP's credit cash to your
account automatically for each valid hit you
receive to your PTP link whereas in most
programs, the credits will get accumulated until
you redeem them yourself.
What does CPM mean?
It means Cost Per 1000. M is the Roman letter for
1000. If you see a site offering 70 Cents/ CPM,
it means the same as 70 Cents per 1,000
credits.
What is a unique hit?
Sites with PTP have an xyz hour unique hits
mentioned below the PTP link/s. Some are 12 hour
unique hits and some 24 hours and so on. For
example, let's say you are promoting a 24 hour
unique hits link. If one member clicks that link,
you will get credited for it. But if the same
member clicks the link again before 24 hours, you
will not get credited again. You will not receive
credit for the second click if it is clicked
before the 24 hours is up. It is the same for a
12 hour unique hits link.
You can find the PTP link/s assigned to you by
going to your member area. In the member area,
you will find a link called Paid To Promote, PTP
Main or PTP Overview. When you click on the link
or select it from the drop down menu, it will
take you to your PTP area. There you will find:
- The PTP link/s assigned to promote
- The sample banners and the codes which you can
promote. If you are interested in promoting any
PTP banners, please make sure to host the banner
elsewhere if you are not allowed to hot link the
banner.
Some programs have more than one PTP link to
promote, whilst some others have only one PTP
link.
Sites with only one ptp link:
When you go to your member area, you will find a
link called PTP Main or PTP Overview. When you
click on the link or select it from the drop down
menu, you will be taken to your PTP area. There,
you will usually find your PTP link under "This
is the link you should promote to get
credited"
When you scroll down, you will find the PTP
sample banners and codes. Below that, you will be
able to see your stats. The stats show the name
of the site you are receiving hits from, total
hits, valid hits and the percentage valid.
Valid hit means, the member who clicked on your
PTP link has allowed the page to load and stayed
in the PTP link page until you received credit.
For example, a site shows a one line notification
as follows:
user has received for showing you
this page.
Invalid hit means, the member who clicked on your
PTP link has not stayed in the page long enough
for you to receive credit. OR - your link has
been clicked on by the same person in the time
period allowed
There is no point in you receiving 100’s or
1000’s of hits to your PTP link if the valid hit
percentage is low. It’s the valid hits that count
towards the accumulation of credits, which you
can then convert to cash.
Sites with more than one PTP link:
Some sites have more than one PTP link assigned
to members. In such instances, it is very
important to go through the instructions/ rules
mentioned below each ptp link to find out where
you can promote each link. Some links are those
any member of the site can promote, some only
upgraded members can promote, some links where
you can promote in auto surf sites etc. The only
way of knowing where you can promote each
individual link is by reading the instructions/
rules carefully.
To check status, below the instructions/ rules of
the assigned links, you will find “Approved
Sites”, “Tier Info” and “Statistics”. Approved
sites mean, the sites that are approved to
promote that specific link. Tier info gives you
details of category ratings for countries which
are based on advertising demand. Usually, the
tier levels are the same in all programs, but how
much credit a member receives per each hit can
vary from program to program.
The
following is an
example:
Category 1: Each hit will count as 1 credits
Category 2: Each hit will count as 0.8 credits
Category 3: Each hit will count as 0.5 credits
Category 4: Each hit will count as 0.3 credits
Category 5: Each hit will count as 0.1 credits
In order to check your statistics, you need to
click on the “statistics” link. It will take you
to a page showing overall statistics. Here it
will show the dates you received clicks on your
PTP link, total number of clicks, number of valid
clicks and some programs also show the number of
invalid clicks and finally, the valid hits
percentage. If you wish to see from which site/s
you received clicks on a specific date, click on
the date. It will take you to a page which shows
the name/s of the site you received the clicks
from, along with the total hits, valid hits and
valid percentage.
What to check before advertising ptp links:
It is very important to check the following
details before you start advertising your PTP.
- The rules of the site regarding promotion of
PTP. It usually shows what sort of sites are
allowed and disallowed.
- Before redeeming or purchasing advertising for
a PTP, please ensure the program you are
purchasing/ redeeming advertising is approved by
the PTP site. If not, you will not receive credit.
There is no point in advertising in sites that
are disallowed or not approved as you will not
receive credit, irrespective how many clicks you
may receive. All such clicks will be counted as
invalid clicks/ hits which will not earn you
anything. Therefore, advertising in unapproved/
disallowed sites is a waste of money.
How to convert credits to cash:
When you go to the PTP main page, you will find
something like this:
Your Current Balance: 592 PTP credits Value:
$0.3966
Your exchange rate is $0.67 for 1000 credits.
OR:
Your current number of Paid-To-Promote points is:
282
You can exchange these Paid-To-Promote points to
cash.
The current value of points is: 70 cents for each
1000 credits
Minimum exchange quantity is 500 credits.
Exchange link will appear after you have reached
minimum
OR something similar to the above.
First, check the minimum exchange quantity that
the site is exchanging. Usually it is 1000
credits, but the minimum exchange quantity of
some sites is 500, some others it is 2000 etc. If
your PTP stats show that you have reached the
minimum exchange quantity, click on the
option “convert”. Some sites automatically
convert the total PTP credits to cash, but some
sites give you the option to decide how many
credits you wish to convert. For example, if the
minimum exchange quantity is 1000 and you have
1050, you can either convert all credits or
convert just 1000. It is up to you. When you
convert the money, it will show in your account
balance.
General Note:
When clicking PTP links of members, please
make sure you wait till the page loads and the
member gets credit for your visit. If you close
the page after the timer runs and if by that time
the page has not loaded, your click will not be
counted as a valid hit. It will then be a
waste of the advertiser’s money and the site that
sent you the PTP link/ mail may lose a valuable
advertiser. Please show the same amount of
attention to other member’s advertisements as you
would want to receive to your own.
**Very Important**
Some members make the mistake of promoting the
PTP but not click any links. Promoting your PTP
link, logging into your member area and
converting the PTP credits to cash does not make
you an active member. No matter what a big PTP
promoter you may be, if you do not click at least
one email or PTC link within the inactivity
period stipulated by the program, you will be
considered as inactive and your account deleted.

Do you think this is really worth your time?
Hey there I just was looking around google and
landed here :D I read that about PTP but do you
think it's really worth your time,... it's surely
a way to earn money online but in my opinion it's
to timeconsumeing :-( I prefer to click away 200
mails/hr ;D
However good luck with PTP :-)
Oh one more thing,.. your site is nice but the
colors are f***ing up my eyes ^^ maybe you should
change them a bit, others would be brave and stay
here like me but run away :P
Wish you a nice day, greets
Daniel aka Daki :o)

Re: Really worth your time?
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your comment! The thing I like about
PTP is that it really doesn't TAKE any time. You
sign up, post your links on a few approved traffic
exchanges, click a few links every few days to
stay active, and voila! that's it. I have bought
some ads on sale at CashDelight (50,000 hits -
promoted 10 PTPs) and I was extremely happy with
the results.
Plus, PTP might be the only option for some
International Members that can't join "search sites".
Sorry you don't like the colors here,
unfortunately I can't change the text colors
(believe me, I've tried!) lol
Have a good day!

Can I do a PTP for a PTR and get referrals at the same time?
Hi, I'm new to PTP, but not to PTR and PTC. If
I use my PTP link instead of my regular referral
link, can I rack up PTP credits -and- gain the
referral credit if the valid visitor signs up?
I've heard a rumor that this is possible on
DonkeyMails. Is it true? Or do you have to use
one or the other?
Also, where can I find a list of all the PTR and
PTC sites that have a PTP option?
And hey I like your website, the colors are
delightful and the content is even better!

Can I do a PTP for a PTR and get referrals at the same time?
Hi Tara,
Thanks for the comment. :) Yes, it is possible
to gain a referral with your PTP link, I've
gained a few that way.<br><br> One thing you
must keep in mind is: ONLY place your PTP link
on APPROVED SITES. You can find the approved
list on your site, under the Paid to Promote
category (it's usually by the Statistics link).
There are lots and lots of sites with PTP, I
personally don't know of a list, but I bet you
can find one at http://www.getpaidforum.com. If
there isn't a compiled list, you can check the
Exchange folder and see which ones you like
best. :) Hope this helps!
