After a
month of endless research and reviews we feel we are now in a position
to write about what we feel would make the perfect PT site that would be
able to stay ahead of the increasing competition and also give more to
its members than any other.
Design
is a crucial part of a web site that provides a service and sells
products. Many websites make the mistake of putting to much time and
effort into making their site work right that they forget all about the
look of it. Some feel it’s not an issue and that as long as they are
getting by its ok. It’s not ok to put it bluntly because at the end of
the day the sites that presented themselves well are the sites that
gained the most trust from its initial traffic.
The
traffic would have been relaxed seeing that the site has a professional
look to it and would dispel any initial doubts or thoughts of scams.
Bux.to are the current leaders when it comes to the best PT sites and
one of many reasons for their success if of course their design. It’s
not tacky in anyway or over done. They made their website look like any
other professional companies with a simple clear design.
Layout
has to be one of the most important aspects of design. Your PT website
must have all the most important information that the member wants to
know in one place within reason. This means Stats should follow the
member from page to page since they always need to work out how to
improve them. The earnings area must be well displayed in a way that
lets the member know exactly how many links to click are available and
of those which have already been viewed.
For the
sake of the advertiser it's best to program the links to take on a
strikethrough once they have been clicked instead of taking the link
away once used. This is simply because the viewer may want to refer back
to an advertisement they had seen. So with the link still up for view
but with no counter they can be converted to an ad which is what the
advertisers come to you for.
The
click ad countdown bar should always be very clear by making the numbers
the central part of the bar. When the countdown has finished the member
should be able to click into the ad and view it as if they had came
across it by natural means. They should also be able to close the link
down by a confirmation button or to simply X the window.
No PT
site in the world will work if any links are left broken or pages are
faulty in anyway. Not only will it destroy a converted member’s trust in
the service but it will also stop you getting your business running.
Programming can be a very hard skill to learn and those who know it have
a big advantage when it comes to starting a business online. Many PT
sites that have an average rating are using cloned scripts from other PT
web sites and tweaking them to make their service work.
The
sites that are honest about where their scripts came from are the ones
that save their credibility like with JamBux who implemented where their
script came from into their about us page. Sometimes it’s worth hiring
someone who knows a thing or two about scripts to help you out. One
great way to hire someone when starting a business with no start salary
is to offer them free premium membership so they can at least make their
own money off your product since you owe them. The most important thing
about PT scripts is you need to make sure that the stats work and record
correctly every time without fail or you will get a bad name fairly
fast.
FAQ’s
or terms of service pages are very important for new traffic as they
tend to go to these pages after seeing the initial presentation to spot
any details they deem unfair or unappealing. These pages need to be one
page with all the information listed down it. Never categorise questions
into different sections because it just slows down the amount of time
your new traffic is between reading the rules and signing up with your
service.
The key
to making it to the top of the top list is to have the best service
which means giving more to your members than any other site. You must
keep tabs on your closest competition to beat them on prices and
constantly stay updated about what other websites are doing so you can
work out how to do it better. The amount of ads you give to your free
members should be the most a free PT site displays and also pay just
that little bit extra. Older PT sites have made it to pay members $0.01
for each ad.
The
newer ones seem to struggle with using points that take time to add up
to even $0.01 so they mess around with the laws of the decimal and
display it as $0.00001 in points for example. The point’s system is the
worst system for rewarding members when you consider that sites such as
ClixSense always pay $0.01 or sometimes higher for a clicked ad.
So you
need to be persistent with your advertisers to let them display for the
highest price. This can of course make it hard to build up a premium
membership package but there is always more you can give away when it
comes to premium earnings. For PT sites you should never have your
premium membership expire any time below a year because this is the
standard the leading web sites play to.
When
selling referrals you should be very competitive on prices and try to
make yours the cheapest. When it comes to the PT site market the cheap
products are the ones that sell the most thanks to forums and referral
promos. With your cheap product selling the most you are getting a
profit from the sheer fact of having more members than anyone else.
Never
get greedy with your payouts. If someone has worked for the money on
their stats or paid for referrals they should always get exactly what
they are owed in payouts and always on time. A great new feature to some
PT sites is automated payouts which mean all the member has to do is
enter their PayPal account and let the money go there automatically when
it’s due. This system saves the member having to request their money and
removes any chance of you being accused of stopping their pay.
As soon
as you put up at PT service and display an ad with a price, that price
is yours until they click the ad. On the second they have clicked it and
viewed it for what ever required time, that money is then theirs and
would be unethical for you to tamper with. The standard minimum payout
rate for most PT sites is $10. You always need to beat this price as
much as you can to show the member that you understand the money they
have on their stats belongs to them and not you.
When
running a legitimate business that deals with signed up members you
should treat them the same way a shop keeper would. Always communicate
with them in a civil and professional manner. If you receive abuse
yourself you can warn them about your policy rules on the matter and
that their account can be terminated if they persist with abuse. You can
never retaliate or provoke them as this will probably get leaked onto a
screen shot showing your unprofessional response. The sites that last
the longest and gain the most members are those that are known for a
swift response to any question from a member.
If you
are polite and look out for your members it goes along way for your
reputation which will bring you more traffic. The great thing about the
PT sites these days is the forums that discuss them so the word of a
good site is always spread fast.
Advertising your site is of course one of your life lines when it comes
to online business. An important thing to consider when advertising is
where you do it. Advertising costs a lot and if you advertise in the
wrong places you can do your business more harm than good. Make sure if
you work with another PTC site that they have good ratings and are not
in our black list. If your site is seen in a scam site people who are
new to your ad will get the wrong idea if they later find out the site
they saw it on was scam. Compare prices just as you would for your
referral shop and make sure that you are not spending too much in a
place that won’t give you optimum traffic or chances of conversion.
The
best places to advertise are of course the most well known trusted web
sites such as ClixSense, Bux.to and AdverCash. Depending on your
advertising budget you should compare all of the top web sites to work
out which is the cheapest so you don’t over spend on advertising. To
spend out on advertising for all the best web sites is still a risk and
never something you should do all in one. If you get good business on
one web site and wish to increase it you should slowly increase the
amount of sites you advertise on.
So after
reading this dream of a perfect PT site you should have all the facts to
create a PT that will push its way through the crowds to the top lists
or better the site you own. With PT web sites remember this one simple
rule, the more you give the more you get.
