Bux.to Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch!
Thursday, April 23, 2009Bux.to and their staff have been in denial about the ads being shown on their site. Concerns were raised by members who noticed bux.to's ads were fake if not self-promoting bux.to. When a member stated this is"Very interesting information, this confirms a lot of what is going on here." Bux.to's Administrator, Spiderwoman's replied, and I quote "That's an OPINION, not an information... "
Oh my! Links, HTML codes, and screen shots were shown and her reply is "That's an Opinion"? An obvious reply from a person who doesn't know what they are talking about.
For those of you that don't have a clue to what I am talking about, I will break it down for you. Bux.to is a PTC site that pays you for every ad you click. Hence "Paid To Click" In order to pay you they have to have advertisers to show their ads. No ads, means no money to be made. Over the past year bux.to's site has been in the slumps. Few ads, Refs dieing, and no payments were being made. All the sudden within the past few months ads and refs come back to life. So out of curiosity I and many other members are investigating why these ads and refs are coming back to life.
For premium membership you can view and click 35-50 ads a day. Sounds great, right? Well to the average Joe who doesn't have a clue to where these ads are coming from, it does. I mean, 45 ads?!! You can't beat that!
Now, everyone is all hyped up about the ads, so in return they are going to purchase refs. Sounds like a good plan to me. Hold on! Before you do that, you might want to think about what is the end result, because it can be a stinker. Yes, you may gain some clicks and extra numbers from all of these ads, but will bux.to be able to pay you for all of your hard work? They should, right? If they are receiving commissions from these for ads that they sell everyday. Right?
Ha! Bux.to has us for suckers. What ads? 90% of bux.to's ads are self-promotional ads. What does that mean? It means bux.to is showing you ads from within the company and not from outside advertisers. Uh oh...so how are they going to pay you if they are not bringing in any advertisers? Well most of their ads are from ClickBank ads. Bux.to has a account with them, however it requires you to purchase and click on these ads for bux.to to make any kind of profit from it.
There is a old saying "Don't count your chickens before they hatch", and I believe this is what bux.to is doing when it comes to them showing their self-sponsored ads. They are counting on receiving these earnings from these ClickBank ads to pay their members. Which explains why payments are so far behind now. Don't believe me? Well, I though some of you might say that, so I took the time and effort to view every ad and to view every ad's links and HTML coding. While doing this I took screen shots of every ad. Yes, that's right, I am going to show you what a bux.to member sees everyday when they click their ads.
Also, I took the liberty of joining ClickBank to see how it works. Basically during sign up you choose a "Nickname" or what some may call a user name. For instance if I chose a nickname of "buxtosux" this is how my clickbank link would look like.
