Definition
PTC (paid-to-click) sites pay members small amounts of cash or credits to view advertiser pages for a required number of seconds. Advertisers purchase these timed impressions to drive visits with a minimum attention window.
For members
Treat earnings as micro-income. Prefer reputable networks with clear payout thresholds over schemes promising unrealistic daily pay.
For advertisers
Use PTC for simple pages and list building. Measure cost per opt-in before scaling. It is rarely enough alone for high-ticket cold sales.
