    Just need to clarify that paid to click sites are scam or not?
    I am talking about its nature of business not that they are paying or not paying...

    Appreciate your answers...

    no it's not scam , advertiser pays for people to click their ads
    what's the problem , it's just another business model

    It can be a viable business model IF there are advertisers willing to pay. Most of the PTC sites actually use the money obtained from referral purchases to make payouts, effectively making them ponzi schemes.

    what link , do you mean a ptc website ?

    Click Fraud happen when some ptc send paid emails ask to click on 3rd party ads , like clicking on adsense ads in return of money

    but the ptc sites like http://bux.to/ , the advertiser pays fir banner spot and members click on it

    Paid to Click : the advertiser him self paid money to bux sites so people click on his banner ad and visit his website , so advertiser want that kind of clicks and that's the case I see with most Bux Type sites

    Click Fraud : happen when Advertiser pay money for ad network let's says it's google Adwords for example , then some click fraud paid to clicks sites , send paid emails to their members asking them to click on google adsense ads in return for 5c per click

    anyway all kind of ad network has click fraud it's something hard to prevent , for example some people use AutoClicker software to auto click on BUX banner ad , so they don't have to look and wait till the ad timer finish

    Most of PTC advertisers are other PTC sites. Most of them are scam.

    probably the most of them aren't scam, the problem is that it takes long long time for the users to reach minimum payout, so they quit using it :S, in my opinium PTC sites suck!

    ATM bux.to seems to be undergoing a revamp as people have been waiting up to and beyond 4-6 months for payment.I was signed up for bux3 until they had the balls to post a "clickable link" to a sales page for the bux3 website,the forums blew up with people asking wtf is going on why click on ads if the site is gonna be sold not to mention alot of people were waiting for payment. The forum is now a broken link. Id have to say that majority are just scams and the legit ones seem to take forever for payouts. All the ads ive seen are for other PTC sites.
    If you do try one out get to minimum payout and cashout BEFORE you invest money.

    The PTC concept is not a scam, but these sites are a haven for misuse and for scammers.

    No reputable advertiser would join a program that offers incentives for its users to click ads, it just makes no sense at all.
