I started this blog trying to find out if there were or are any decent PTCs. I have come to the conclusion that there aren't.
First I started with a wide berth, finding any and all PTCs that I could find.
Then, when I was taking way too much time out of my day to click ads for all of the sites, I started narrowing my search down with qualifiers.
Soon it was down to just NeoBux and a few other things. I dropped most of the other PTCs I was doing and focused on NeoBux. NeoBux has proven to be... not worth it. A steady slope downwards is what you'll find if you look at the number of clicks per referral for 3 rents each time.
So to answer my starting question, "Which PTCs Work?", None of them do. Oh sure, you can make some pittance off of them, but nothing all that great. The only way to make a decent amount of money with them would be to get lots of direct referrals, but who wants to put the duty of clicking for no reason on someone else? I certainly don't.
So, I'm sticking with Gomez, which has proven to be pretty reliable, and Swagbucks, which has one annoying feature of having to log in a shitload of times, but is otherwise alright.
Consider this blog done, unless I find a reason to revive it.
I'm Back in my Blog!

As some of you may know/recall, I locked myself out of my blog -

Sorry you didn't have such a grand time with PTCs. I prefer direct referrals. Less hassle for me that way.
What else do you plan on doing apart from Swagbucks and Gomez? Also, are you gonna set up a different blog?

Well, unless the person already wants to do PTCs... isn't it sort of giving them the short end of the stick?
"What else do you plan on doing apart from Swagbucks and Gomez? Also, are you gonna set up a different blog?"
I don't know. That's part of why I'm getting more serious about getting a traditional job.
I don't understand how getting a direct referral os giving them a short end of the stick --- or have I misunderstood your question?
Are you looking for any traditional job?
Also, do you really feel you've given the whole make-money-online thing a really good try? PTCs, Swagbucks, etc. are just the tip of the iceberg.
"I don't understand how getting a direct referral os giving them a short end of the stick --- or have I misunderstood your question?"
Simply put: Would you, if you had no direct or rented referrals, stay in the PTC you would be collecting direct referrals in? If the answer is no, then what about the people who are without direct referrals, as you get further and further down the line of direct referrals? Eventually, you'll either find someone who doesn't care, and so the whole thing unravels, or who can't get referrals, and so the whole thing unravels. Because, would you stay in if you couldn't get any referrals? If not...
This problem was quintessential with GDI (Global Domains International). It's less evident with PTCs.
"Are you looking for any traditional job?"
Pretty much. I haven't been able to think of otherwise, especially online.
"Also, do you really feel you've given the whole make-money-online thing a really good try? PTCs, Swagbucks, etc. are just the tip of the iceberg."
I hope so. Could you direct me to some other possibilities? If nothing else, I'm surely done with PTCing.

Oops. I mean that I hope I'm just at the tip of the iceberg.
I'd stay with a site if I was OK with my experience of it. If boredom starts to set in, and I'm not making that much with the particular site, then I wrap things up and move on.
Though it would be good to get (active) referrals, I don't necessarily join a site for that reason (or for that reason alone).
Other ways to possibly earn: have you heard of CloudCrowd.com? You could also try forum posting, blog commenting, blog/article writing.
You could also set up a blog specifically targeted to a program that's working for you (Swagbucks, for example), SEO it, promote it well, and attract active referrals.
You could build a blog over the short term (or buy one) -- and in that time, backlink it, monetise it, hopefully make a bit of money from that, then sell the blog (or sell advertising on it).
I'm trying Hubpages.com at the moment - using it to hopefully make some money out of the Christmas traffic and other holidays coming up. Maybe you could try that yourself.
