Pacific clicks

Go to website

Method: PTC/PTR

 

Brief history

Pacific Clicks are one of the few PT sites to be running the old GPTnetwork script that holds a PTC and PTR section that is not dominated by light weight ads. Their popularity rating is quite low and seems a little unjust as sites running the same script such as Clickosaur hold nothing but light weight ads and yet hold a better popularity rating and even shown on Alexa.

For this site however this is no Alexa data but its newer and currently only has 1,093 members. Because of the script in use it may be what is hindering it from gaining traffic easy. There isn’t much need to beat around the bush the script just has a bad reputation as the sites that use it general don’t do so well with high traffic.

Design

Again because of the script the design is much formatted to one layout which is rarely any different on other sites using it. So the script is commonly used and really has a layout change but what is good about this design is the functionality if the site itself contains all that it promises. This was one of the first designs to use displayed site stats in the PT industry.

Advertising

Like with other sites similar to this one they hold a great deal of advertising options including x-credits, featured banner ad views, link rotation and much more. The prices for the standard featured ads are good with 100000 for just $1.00. Regardless of how new this site is or is lack of Alexa data there is clearly a great deal of promotion going on from the owners as they are not short on ads.

Referral system

Here you can purchase between 10 and 50 referrals which is found on the purchase page with everything else. 10 referrals cost $7.50 and 50 are worth $37.50. Again there is very little information about the down line here but you can kind of work out from the memberships page that for standard members its not 100% as the lowest membership offer gives you 60% original down line.

Upgrades 

All the upgrades are based heavily on providing more advertising the higher your upgrade package becomes. To display what all these benefits could be we display for you what the highest membership offer contains named Gold membership.

  • $79.98 For 1 Year Membership
  • 100% Downline Earnings
  • $0.95 PTP CPM
  • 15% Bonus Of Referral's Purchases
  • 10% Bonus When Referrals Upgrade
  • 20 Guaranteed Signups Upon Joining
  • 1000 Email Credits Weekly
  • 2000 Link Credits Weekly
  • 2000 PTR Credits Weekly
  • 2000000 F. Ad Credits Upon Joining
  • 2000000 F. Banner Credits Upon Joining
  • 2000000 Banner Credits Upon Joining

As you can see the old membership provides you with that missing 100% down line but it almost seems like the package is making you pay $79.98 a year to have the same performance as any major PTC site with free standard membership.

Performance

As mentioned they are clearly doing a good job of gaining advertisers here and thankfully there are at least 3 ads worth $0.01 with the rest of the 36 as light weight ads. We estimate from what details are available that this site has a standard down line of 50% which means the referrals could do with a slight reduction on price. Quite frankly it is all too rare to find more than 1 ad worth $0.01 on a site like this so it’s not all bad.

Conclusion

It’s a mystery why people are still using this script but never the less we feel this particular one has done well to achieve so many advertisers and provide those $0.01 ads. We feel it would be interesting to see if this site can make it into the Alexa chart and see if they manage to maintain their luck with advertising or better yet gain even more.
