Thanks for posting. Makes one wonder if PTR Info is one of the same as boycott or if someone else has decided to imitate the wheel and make some money as well.

Only thing I can say is Bg pays and I don't even have to request payout.

There are other sites on that boycott list that are boycotted yet still are in operation, paying members.

I think its ludacrious to go after sites that pay members just because a select few don't like an owners attitude, etc.

I can't say it's a bad thing to let others know if you had a bad experience with a site but to hound and hound a site and its members because they are still going strong is ridiculous.

It is up to members to do their homework and join sites with realistic ad rates to email value ratios.

We all at one time or another have been burned, but we learned and moved on.

If it were not for the trash bash sessions at a few of the forums who are trying to rule the roost as far as owners run their programs, those forums would have no traffic.

And, we all know what traffic is for and what it can generate. $$$

Keep us updated, on the antics so that others may see what is already seen by many others...Bias, Jealousy, Need to feel important, etc, etc, etc...

Folks you can buy into the hype or you can see through the hype. If you choose to believe everything you read negative about some sites though, you will lose out on earning opportunities.

Just do your homework and you should see your earnings add up over time with committment, consistency and patience. Rome wasn't built over night and neither will your paypal account.

Peace and Love make the world go around so much better. Have a great day.

PTR, known as Paid to Read has been around for nearly a decade if not longer. The original concept was simple, you opt in to receive email adverts and are paid a small pittance to read the advert and visit the advertisers site.

Along came forums, made as a gathering place for people belonging to or interested in PTR programs, to share information such as good and bad experiences.

Originally, it worked well to warn others of bad programs (meaning programs who won't pay you) and to save prospective members time, energy , money and headache of being taken for a ride.

However, as with many things today, there are always a group of people who through their actions ruin it for others.

One site has decided that they have all the answers and will boycott PTR programs, which is ok if the reason is for lack of payment. In this instance though the people that frequent that forum and others like it, have decided they know what is best for everyone else involved.

Beware, as they have resorted to becoming the justice crusaders who will go to payment sources such as Paypal and affiliate programs of program owners who dare speak out against the bias treatment of some programs.

As a heads up, there are programs out there that do pay but are listed as scam sites because the PTR crusaders do not like specific program owners.

Just as in life, visit the forums for information but make sure to keep an open mind as some of the posters that are regulars have very tainted views and do not like to be disagreed with.

PTR is a place where some pocket change can be made, but one must become knowledgeable about which sites to join and which sites to avoid. Much is common sense when joining. If you see a site selling ads to 1000 people to visit for a cent each, and sell the ad for 50 cents you know the site will not have enough to pay members.

Looking for others views on PTR and the Forums who are supposedly there to protect members but are in actuality created to make money off unsuspecting members.
