What is a Paid-to-surf or PTC site?

Back to late 1990s, Internet industry was a big business at that time. Anyone with a little bit of knowledge was making big bucks on Internet. Paid-to-surf or Paid-to-click concept also arrived at the same time. The concept was very simple. Advertisers will place ads on one of these PTC sites and these PTC sites will attract people to join the site as a member and be paid at a rate of 0.01 cents to 0.02 cents and get paid as soon as one makes $1 to $10 depending upon that particular website internal policy. These PTC sites were a huge success and even the members earned a handsome amount of money. But, come 2000, and there came the Dot-Com crash and people started losing big money on Internet, PTC sites started getting closed, and thousands of members were never actually paid because PTC sites shut their shop and just disappered like anything.

One of the most successful PTC companies in the late 1990s was AllAdvantage, being launched in March 1999, the company made a meteoric rise in the Internet industry with over 13 million members in just a year's time employing MLM system to get new members. This system was a huge hit and hundreds of PTC sites followed trying to duplicate AllAdvantage's success, but a very few of them could actually manage to survive and make profit to themselves and the members. Even AllAdvantage shut the shop after 18 months but not before paying out its members a whooping US$160 million to its members.

Here are my personally selected list of PTC sites operating successfully today and paying out their members regularly without fail. So, if you are an active Internet surfer and just want to earn a little dollars while surfing, you can join one of these PTC sites below and get paid periodically a small amount but definitely some

You can join any one of them or all of them for free and check out yourself whether you get some money or not. I think one should not invest any money on these sites but one must join and surf to see how much they get paid and then decide whether to continue with these PTC sites or not.
