Ok so I'm in this venture to find out how sustainable a site is by computing the amount of earnings they get per click. So my seventh one would be buxout, famous for it's neobux-like layout as well as instant payment My computation will be based on the price of standard ads per 500 clicks, which is $9.75 So that $9.75 will be divided by 500 clicks, which will yield a 0.0195 per click rate. Seeing that, a standard member click is 0.01, and a referral click is .005 So deduct that by the 0.0195 0.0195 - 0.010 -0.005 = 0.0045 So there is still a .0045 earning. Multiplying that by 500 we then get 2.25, So for that rate of click they still earn $2.25 Ok so let's go to the worst-case scenario. A premium click is .0125 and a premium upline take is 0.0125 as well. So worst-case scenario is a premium member having a premium upline. Let's see where this will go... 0.0195 - 0.0125 - 0.0125 = -0.0055 So they have a loss of 0.0055 per click, that's about 2.75 lost for every click IN the WORST-CASE scenario. If you try to think about it. It's a loss. Big one. Tsk. If you try to make the case standard member and premium upline, that would be a loss of 0.003, and make it the reverse, that would be a gain of only 0.002... So with that result, they earn. And not all are premium members. For me they are sustainable, since the probability of them having a loss is not that much. How about you? What do you think?(Disregarding all facts including banners/refs/upgrade sales) Remember, there are many ways to say that a PTC is sustainable. But I only tend to support those who makes the payment plan stable, because that's where you'll know who's really serious in the business and who's just fooling around trying to make money, and those who just didn't do their math properly and just think of other ways to sustain the site like selling lottery tickets and selling banners/refs/upgrades. Have a nice day. Let me know what you think.
