What Are PTC Ads?
Paid to click ads are advertising links listed in your site's ptc section. Users get credited for clicking on the link and viewing the advertised page until te timer expires.
Commonly a PTC ad is linked to a banner image, but it may as well be a text link.
How To Create a Paid To Click Ad

Insert desired details to the fields under "Create New PTC Advertisement"
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Username |
The advertiser's username |
|
Ad Description |
Description of the ad |
|
Ad Group |
You can create a new group by inserting the group's name to the field manually or you can choose existing ad group from the dropdown menu. |
|

The amount an user will receive for clicking the paid link and viewing the advertised page until the time expires. Remember to choose if the ad is a point or cash PTC. |
|

How long a member must view the page advertised before the account is credited. Insert the value in seconds, for example 15 for 15 seconds. |
|

How often repeated clicks for the ad are allowed. For example 12 means user must wait 12 hours before he can click the ad again and receive credit for it. |
|
Choose if you want to create a Banner/Text Advertisement or HTML Advertisement. The common choise is "Banner Advertisement". You may also want to notice that HTML Ads can not be tracked as easily and require the use of a javascript popup to track the clicks not to mention the use of a timer is pointless as they could still close the advertisers page and get the points anyway. | |
