Happy Monday, and here's some good news - wow, have I found what so far seems like the best thing ever! I am crazy about this one and it's surely going to be a big favorite.
YouData is sort of a PTC - I guess technically it is a PTC - but different and sort of a new spin on the whole PTC thing. First thing I noticed was how impressive the website is - technologically and graphically, very well done, and also - very, very hilarious. These folks have a terrific sense of humor!
(UPDATE 06/24/2012: Be forewarned - after several periods of being active, then long periods of being inactive again, & then another period of actively paying, YouData has appeared to be inactive (with no payments to me) since October 2011. It's had a pretty long history of going inactive & then suddenly being active again, but just so you know the situation in advance.)
When you sign up, you'll create your MeFile, which is just a handful of questions, and then (to better how much advertising you'll get to see, I'm sure) a little later on you'll fill in some more specific survey questions (when you log in after registering, go to "Housekeeping" and you'll find it. Then you can review ads through the "Adget" widget on the site. There is also the option to download it to your desktop where you don't have to come to the site itself to view ads, but I couldn't get that to work - it works marvelously from the website though.
Now for the good stuff -
YouData pays up to $0.25 per ad viewed (in most cases I've seen so far it's been about $0.10 to $0.15). Normally this would raise some red flags, but this is not really your usual kind of PTC ads - this company is actually bringing major mainstream advertising to you, the consumer, and those major advertisers are paying you for your attention - for instance, Chadwick's, the clothing company, and Real Simple, the home magazine. My first set of ads included advertising from several quality major US companies I recognized.
There is NO minimum cashout and, in fact, YouData automatically pays you everything you're owed for that week every Friday by PayPal. How cool is that?
You are also paid up to $1 for every referral, as YouData pays you $0.01 each for your referrals' first 100 ad views.
YouData registration is currently open to US members only, though I read the company has plans to expand. You must have a cell phone with text messaging capability to register, as YouData will send you two activation codes - one to your registered email, and another by text to your cell phone (the site states this is the only time they will use your cell phone number for anything).
YouData is a new company and it's apparently getting a lot of national attention lately, which means it's going to grow, which means the earning potential will grow for its members. So if you're in the US and have a cell phone with text messaging, you really should consider signing up.
I already made almost $2.50 just since Saturday night, and this company has paid another member in the community I know, so I expect I will be paid on Friday as promised. I love this site! Join YouData today!
UPDATE 03/02/2013: YouData still exists, and has paid me many times over the years (though not since once last year, and a long time before that), but it has been all but totally inactive for ages, so I have removed it to the "Closed Sites" section unless there are some changes in the future.

New: Use Your ClixSense Balance to Upgrade to Premium
Just saw a new announcement over at one of my fave sites, ClixSense, stating that members may now use their ClixSense balance to upgrade to premium, if they have $10 or more in their balance. Simply send in a ticket to their support desk requesting this, and they'll take care of it.
Upgrading at ClixSense is an excellent deal - you get SO many more ads daily, if I had not upgraded last year I probably would still be waiting for my first payout! You also get paid five levels deep for every new referral (10 cents per referral), get paid $2 per referral that upgrades five levels deep - it's just a really good deal.
I have let mine lapse temporarily (though am about to upgrade again), but if I upgraded today, there are over 500 more ads for premium members only to view. At $0.01 (or more) per click, that's at least $5 and probably more!
And - upgrading to premium is only $10 for an entire year. Very good deal!
ClixSense is one of the best in the business. Join today if you haven't, and if you're already a member but haven't upgraded to premium, I always highly recommend it - and it's especially convenient now that you can use your balance to do that!
UPDATE 05/23/2009: I edited the information above as my previous statement that there were "over 500 more ads for me to view" was somewhat misleading - what the information on the site actually said was there were over 500 more ads for premium members only to view. Generally, when you upgrade at ClixSense the very first time, you will generally get 300-500 ads at one time, then a steady stream of usually 10-20 or more daily. On recurring upgrades, it will likely be less - but you also only get the ads for types of ads you have checked you are interested at the time. At the time I re-upgraded, I got about 22 ads.
I will always, always recommend this upgrade though. I have no doubt that if I had never upgraded at ClixSense, my balance would still be hovering under $5 with no hope of getting paid anytime soon, and the referral benefits are really nice. For only $10 a year, it's well worth it.

Survey Sites That Pay - An Update
(Updated 09/01/2010)
UPDATE: NFO/MySurvey now pays by PayPal as well as check!
In trying to get caught up on my online money efforts and also working on a side project I've been working on a while, I got down to the survey sites that I have been a member of a while and been either paid by or racked up a balance with, and discovered that in the time I've been a little inactive in the survey arena, MindField Online has made some big changes with lowering their cashout minimum from $10 to $5, is now paying via PayPal, and also has a new referral program where you can earn per referral. I thought I had written here about Mindfield before but apparently I didn't, so there ya go!
In light of that, plus the fact that I've kind of given hope of earning anything much on some others (Lightspeed, ClickIQ tho I need to get back there sometime and try some more, Pinecone which won't let me back in LOL, & Greenfield Online... Greenfield used to be a good earner years ago, but now I never get anything but sweepstakes entry surveys and the money surveys are always closed even when I've just barely gotten the mail)... I decided it was time to update the Survey Sites That Pay info on the site and consolidate it all again in a new post.
(By the way, it turns out that missing $8 survey money I thought I had coming from ACOP that I decided I must have been mistaken about IS there after all! I guess it just took a while to credit to my account. I requested a cashout on it yesterday so expecting that payment before too long.)
Several of these have affiliate programs that are worth signing up for, or give you referral links to earn on. You can earn anywhere from 50 cents to $2 per referral on several of the sites below.
Anyway, without further ado, here is the newly updated version of my recommended Survey Sites That Pay (or that I expect to be paid by very soon!)...
NFO/MySurvey
Opinion Outpost
MindField Online
American Consumer Opinion (ACOP)
Toluna (acquired Your2Cents in Summer 2009)
SurveySpot

Rhino Riches - Now With $10 Payout!
I don't know how I missed this other than the fact that I've been pretty tied up and mostly away the last couple of months (and it could have been before that and I just didn't notice, I dunno), but I'm just so very, very thrilled to report that one of my favorite sites - and one that's paid me - Rhino Riches, apparently lowered its cashout minimum from $20 to $10 (for PayPal payments) while I was MIA!
This is wonderful, because Rhino was really the only site I have kept working actively in GPT that had a cashout minimum over $10. I still have a couple that were some of the first GPT sites I ever started on that I have kept my account active but don't really actively work that much; however, I'd always tried to support Rhino because it was a great site with an honest and paying admin, and there were so many good contests and other nice features it wasn't terribly difficult to meet the $20 minimum cashout at least every other month or every three months. But yay, the cashout is $10, it's not that hard to meet $10 a month!
Nowadays Rhino pays by PayPal (or gift card) with the $10 minimum, or $15 cashout minimum if you wish to request a check instead.
This is a really great site with a very active, honest, paying & responsive admin and there are always really fabulous contests going on, so if you have not joined this one, do it today!

More Updates on Listed Sites
Just a note that I have removed ShineCash from the actively listed sites as the site has apparently closed.
I think I have gone through all the sites in my current active stable for now and updated info where I found it and did some housecleaning. Hopefully we are a little more up to date now!
I have a couple more posts to post before I go for now, but everyone have a great weekend!

Updates on Listed Sites & Housecleaning
After catching up on most sites I work and support, I think I have now updated most of the info for the majority of listed sites in their individual listings, though there may be still more to come as I haven't hit everywhere 100% yet. I have also removed a couple of dead sites and other such housecleaning stuff here on the site.
Some of the more major changes I noted (which may or may not be news to some of you since I've been catching up on about a two or three month backlog worth of stuff):
Daily payouts at Ozzys Direct Pay: As of May 8th, Ozzys is paying every day if you meet the $10 minimum cashout, so no more waiting to be paid.
A revision to previously reported minimum cashout change at Cartoon-Clicks: I previously reported in March that Cartoon-Clicks was trying out a lowered minimum cashout of $3. This is true, but it's for PayPal only and the other part of it was paying DAILY if you meet the $3 minimum cashout, so just wanted to correct that info. Check and gift card payments are still $10 and paid monthly.
Changes at CashMakingMonkies: CashMakingMonkies now has a $20 minimum cashout by PayPal only; to cashout via Wal-Mart gift certificate, $23. There is also now a stipulation on the site that in order to cashout, at least 50% of your cashout must be in offer earnings. I'm not sure why a site would at present raise cashout so high when so many others in the community have much easier to reach cashout levels and terms, and as anyone reading here long knows there is only one site I actively and regularly support that has a $20 cashout minimum and I generally do not encourage and recommend sites that are above $10, so I have removed the site from some of my top lists for the time being, due to not only that but the fact that although I have been paid from this site, it was by the previous owner rather than the current owner. In any case, if you have time and effort and a balance invested in the site then by all means, you should continue to work it.
Payment time changes at MoneyDreams: MoneyDreams made the change in recent months to now paying weekly instead of bi-monthly.
Other changes I have made to various site listings here on the site:
Added payment options to JillsClickCorner - (now pays by a large number of pay sites)
Changed payment terms to Fantasy Ads - now by PayPal only & changed to $3 cashout
Removed these apparently closed PTC sites: Click4MoreAds, PTClickers
I have also made updates to the three posts in the Maximize Your Earnings section (including adding the weekly jackpot info on DealBarbiePays):
Maximize Your Earnings on GPT Sites: Jackpots
Maximize Your Earnings on GPT Sites: Promo Codes
Maximize Your Earnings on GPT Sites Playing Games & Trivia
That's it for now, more to come if/when I find more changed info of any great importance!

Got Paid Update #48 - AdPaid
Yet another super fast payment from AdPaid, a site that is great to deal with both as a member and when you want to advertise a little. They have really great ad rates and they're just wonderful to work with. I requested my $4.14 payment on the evening of May 8th and by just after 5 in the morning on May 9th had received the payment in my PayPal.
There is a never-ending slew of paid mails from AdPaid and also PTC and plenty of other stuff on the site, so if you haven't joined this one, I encourage you to sign up today!

Got Paid Update #47 - DealBarbiePaysFast
Terribly belated, but did want to quickly report a $2.72 payment received from DealBarbiePaysFast and indeed it was fast! Not even a full 24 hours passed before I had the payment in my PayPal account. That's awesome!
This is a terrific site with a long good paying history & a great reputation, so sign up today if you haven't already!

Back, Sorta
Trying to ease back in the swing of things here - it has been a really insane spring thus far at Moneyhunting Central.
I have a few news items (which are probably old news to many of you by now) but I need to re-verify that those things are still the same before I post about them.
I do find that Click4MoreAds and PTClickers are both apparently no more, so I will be removing them from the site shortly - as well as any more I find that have disappeared in the last couple of months.
Onward and upward - hoping to get back to regular daily posting next week. Apologies for the downtime!
