Payza payment processor, old name AlertPay, used to be a very good alternative payment option at PTC sites. Almost every PTC had to have Paypal and Alertpay.
But later fees became higher for "risk business", PTC is one of those, and there were a lot of problems with withdraws. People couldn't receive their money from Payza and support was bad.
Now the sales via Payza decreased a lot and it's no longer a great alternative unless the PTC you run/use is huge, that's where Payza can still be used by many people. But most of the income, a good 90-98%, comes from paypal and other payment services.

Clicksia and Incentria - Closed!
Both Clicksia and Incentria were closed a few days ago.
You can read more about it here
Now there are not many old PTCs left, a few are Wordlinx, Clixsense, Neobux, Buxp and PPlinx. But also the DonkeyMails sites like Jillsclickcorner etc.
It will be interesting to see how this change will affect other sites, where will all the advertisers go from Clicksia and Incentria? They were very good for sign-ups, and the traffic was decent.
What do you think?

Minimum ad views to earn from referrals - Wordlinx
It looks like Wordlinx wants to increase member activity and for that reason introduces minimum required ads to be viewed before members can earn from referrals.
Unlike other ptc sites with similar requirements, at Wordlinx you only need to show some activity once per week and not every single day like at for example Neobux.
You can read the whole announcement here:

Linkgrand going down?
Just got this weird email in my inbox from LinkGrand admin:
Dropping the advertising prices back down didn't help. Offering the quick link option at even lower rates didn't help. I'm lost for words at the moment. ??? ..... So please, tell me why you no longer use LinkGrand advertising. In all sincerity, I would like to know so that I can improve on the problem.

Well, I'm not sure if it's going down even if it's very possible but it's clear that PTC sites are not earning as much as before and struggle to survive.

Payza on Wodlinx no more
Are you wondering why you can't buy anything from Wordlinx using Payza funds?
It's very simple, Payza have withdrawn their services for all UK-based users. I'm guessing that Wordlinx didn't have time to remove all of the Payza buy buttons on every page yet and that's why we still see them.
Well, this makes me worry about Payzas future. I haven't been able to withdraw my funds in a very long time now and less and less sites are letting users use Payza as the payment alternative.

PTC Profit Booster 2.0
PTC Profit Booster website has been offline for more than 2 weeks now but the rumors are out saying that it will return with a new version of the book 2.0.
PTC Profit Booster will be an updated version of the old book with extra useful information for new PTC earners.
2.0 will cost more and that way let PTC owners and bloggers earn much more per sale, 2x of the previous comission. That is something that bothered many PTC admins choosing clickbank products to promote but now it's solved.
When the book will be released is not clear yet but it will be soon.

Moving to Wordpress
The best PTC sites blog, this one, is going to move from blogger to Wordpress in the near future.
This will allow me to controll more of the design and content.
Blogger is a good blogging platform to start your blogging carrier but it's no good once blog grows and you have to manage a lot of content. This blog has more than 200 posts and needs proper categories and tags. Good plugins and 301redirects for content that no longer exist.

BuxP updates 09 23
Here are some news from BuxP:
1. TOS 7.2 change
from:
"It is not allowed to promote your referral link in any Asian or Slavic based language."
to:
"You are allowed to advertise your BUXP referral link in any language, but should we come to the conclusion that your referral base is not differentiated at all and/or of low quality, we may terminate your account after paying out your current earnings and investments."
Notice the "low quality, we may terminate"... So basicly this is for blogs that promote ptc sites for people that don't even understand english. Trust me, there are many chinese sites, blogs and forums where they have a picture (screenshot) of registration page and there they translate every single field into chinese. Why do you think so many PTCs ban members from China?
2. Lower cashout minimum
Cashout limits were lowered for premium and standard members. From $7.99 to $6.99. Those few that had $17.99 also got a $1 reduction to $16.99.
Good news for us the members and earners. Lowered minimum is something we have seen a lot of lately. Wordlinx and Clixsense were also forced to lower the minimum earlier this year.

Free Internet for everyone!
I just noticed that there is a swedish company offering free mobile Internet to everyone in Sweden! Instead of paying a monthly bill, you will see some ads from time to time.
Yes, it's true! The company is called Joors and for a startup fee of maybe 60euro you will get USB modem and a SIMcard that you can use to surf online FOR FREE!
Link: https://www.joors.com/index.php
I don't think this is available worldwide yet, only in Sweden for now, but I'm sure that it one day will or a new company will start providing a similar service in other countries.
Internet fee is very high for many families and that's one of the reason many people use PTC sites, to pay their Internet bills. With this they won't need it anymore and can spend money earned from PTCs on something else. It's an amazing time we are living in! :)

Lost $9
Aww, just noticed that I lost around $9 at Clicksia..
How? Well, I wasn't upgraded and just earned 10% from clicks and 0 from sales.
This teaches us a lesson, always upgrade at trusted sites for a longer perioud and make sure to have atleast 30 days remaining of your upgrade or else it's easy to forget and miss a lot of money.

A million page views!
Thanks everyone for reading this blog and subscribing and even following Facebook page.
I just checked statistics, this blog was visited more than a million times. 1369382 pageviews is what blogspot is showing, and I'm not even sure if it tracked all of the visitors from the start or just after the recent update of blogspot blogging platform.
Once again, thanks! :)

Frame breaking adfoc.us, not for PTC websites
This week Adfoc.us implemented frame breaking code which means that this website is no longer good to earn from using PTC and traffic exchange websites.
Sadly I never had enough time to earn enough to reach the minimum payout and could not see if it was scam or not.

New site adfoc.us that I'm testing..
I'm testing a new site like adf.ly and linkbucks where you shorten an url and share this link to the public. Everytime some one go to the link, they will first see an ad in a few seconds before they can access the content they were originally linked to.
Many claim it's a scam site, well I don't know about that and that's why I'm testing. It's also interesting to see how they react to PTC traffic as they don't have frame breaking code at the moment. Another site that started like that with high paying rates was adf.ly and it's still paying but now with frame breaking urls and lower pay rate.

Password recovered at Cashcamel
Update! I received a new password from cashcamel.
I used earnmoneyspace forum to contact admin there. He responded that I should have already received the email, well I didn't so I asked for a new password and got it very fast.
So if you experienced a similar problem, could not receive password within a few days via the official recovering system, email cashcamel first and if not do what I did and go to earnmoneyspace :)

Back on Google!
Looks like TheBestPTCsites.com has been forgiven by Google and it's back showing as a top result whenever a PTC related search term is searched. Earlier this year blog was hit but Penguin update, this blog had some old low quallity links (or it could be that the term P T C was mentioned too often). Either way, Google loves me again :)
That is really great and motivates me to be more active and update more. I'm also happy to see so many followers I've gathered through all these years although I've sometimes been very inactive like this summer when I was in Malta and Spain.
More updates, so many updates! Also check this useful post at PPlinx if you are new to PTC site advertising or already do without knowing much about it. It's about Google Adsense vs PTC traffic.

Update on Cashcamel
Well, being the top referrer at CashCamel and emailing 2 times many days ago I still did not receive a new password although it's stated that everyone will receive a response within 24 hours.
Now if I didn't get a response, that also means that my referrals probably didn't get a new password. The referrals that actually cared to ask for a new email, most of the ptc members are probably too lazy to do that.
In other words, my downline is very much inactive by now even if I get a new password and that is sad. I liked the site and liked how the Admin was trying hard to reach to new people with all kind of advertising and social media activity.
PTC Investigation did not report this event at all, as far as I can see, and that worries me a little. Does that mean that I'm the only one or that people don't care to complain although they love doing it to other sites? ^^
I will update again if something new happens.

Can't login at Cashcamel - 26 aug
So I tried to login at Cashcamel but couldn't, instead I saw a message:
"Trouble With Login? I am here to help! Send me an e-mail"
Did I fail? Did I type wrong password or username? Was the site hacked?
I clicked at a link leading to start page and refreshed with f5.
"Trouble With Login? I am here to help! Your Account is Fine. You just need a password reset. Send me an e-mail.. I'll will respond to your e-mail within 24 hours! CLICK HERE!Check Out the Breaking News! 1/2 Priced memberships and more! CLICK HERE!"
Okey, so it wasn't only me. Seems like many or everyone needs to recover password before logging in at Cashcamel. I'm not sure why but the site's database has crashed before and lost some data. I just hope it wasn't hacked. I looked at their forum but it seems to be closed or something, and there is nothing about this at their blog.
Anyway, let's hope that Cashcamel will recover from this.
