After all that other (ugh), let's talk about some more interesting and cool stuff and noteworthy updates, shall we? Yeah!
First, a small bit of community news - just a quick note that DealBarbiePays, under its new ownership, now offers instant and fee-free PayPal payments. So anytime you reach cashout minimum there, you no longer have to wait 35-ish days to get paid, payments via PayPal are now instantly processed. Payment by check or gift cards will be sent out twice monthly on the 15th and 30th of every month.
If there's anything else much going on around in the GPT/PTC/PTR community this week, I haven't read it, so that's about all I know. Then again I'm kind of not just having a blonde moment but a blonde week this week, so, eh. LOL.
Now for some updates here on the site...
You may or may not have noticed I have been doing a little "housecleaning" here and there and tweaking the site. I've fixed some broken links (Moonlilly's Legend, for one), been replacing some recently-gone-missing banners (like the one I previously had for My Flipper Cash), updating some necessary info (like the fact that the survey site Your2Cents is now associated with and accessed through Toluna), and just been doing some general fixing and fixer-upping that's going to save me time and allow me to not only work on more money stuff but be able to spend less time on headachey details here that I had to deal with the way I had things before, and more time on the stuff that's valuable to you. So that's cool.
AND I have a big project I have been working on for a few months now (which mainly the ever-changing world of GPT/PTR/PTC has held up as well as my obsessive compulsiveness trying to make sure all links are correct) and a whole, whole bunch of new posts about new (to here) sites coming up. So stay tuned for all that.
NEW TO GPT/PTC/PTR? READ HERE: One thing I finally did get up over here was completely updated and revised "Read Before You Start" basic information, which I tossed into an older post (click HERE). This is mainly for folks new to GPT/PTR/PTC and other online stuff, but if any of you veterans take a look and notice I left anything important out - please drop me a line and let me know! I think I covered most of the need-to-know stuff (and granted, a lot of the more thorough information is in the tutorials I have linked from the post) but if you think of something major I missed, please give me a shout.
And hey, look - I'm in a video HERE, wow! Phil and I recently crossed paths and have this kinda mutual admiration thing going on as far as each other's online $$ endeavors lately, and he has recently dipped his toes into making instructional videos - they're very, very, VERY funny but also extremely informative and helpful, especially if you're new to all this online stuff - and he used my site as an example to show off a splash page maker he's using, and now owes me a cup of coffee to replace the one I spit out laughing while taking a sip and watching the video (really it's my fault, I should have known better anyways).
Anyway, this video's really great and funny as well as educational about the program he's demonstrating, so check it out. Don't worry, I'm not going to start doing videos too - the thought of me attempting an instructional video of that sort has my significant other in paroxysms of laughter on the floor at the thought, matter of fact. There is a REASON I do most of my communication via the written word - I'm blonde, Southern, and I can write a book about anything and for days, but ask me to explain it on the phone or in person and really the only person I'm going to make any sense to is myself, so... yeah!
Phil's very good at it though, and hilarious, so check out this video and the others on his site, and just check his site out anyway - he's into many online ops but also some GPT/PTC/etc action too, and I actually learned something I didn't know about CashCrate today from his blog and video on it so yeah, put You Will Not Get Rich From This Blog (click HERE) on your reading rounds, it's a lot of fun and you might find something really cool through it!
OK - I have got payment reports, more site recommendations, and other stuff on tap to get this place back to normal - this week has been somewhat of an exercise in catching up all those dozens of things on my to-do lists for weeks and maybe getting three or four of them finished - so sorry about the lack of much posting this week, but there's more to come! Tune in tomorrow!

Removed & Closed Programs
Well, this is a first. As time has gone on here, there have been occasions I have withdrawn my support for a site and/or removed it from my site listings, usually due to a site sale gone bad or some other change in TOS & policy at that site after which I no longer felt comfortable recommending it to others, but usually it's months down the line and after many changes or other aspects that have made it clear to me a site is just not producing like it previously was, or something else is just not kosher or I'm just simply not comfortable with it. Months later. Or at least weeks. Usually.
This is the first time I have felt compelled to almost immediately rescind a recommendation on a site I had just listed and recommended, though. I hope it's a long time before it ever happens again, if ever, 'cos it really bothers me to have to do it but I can't in all good conscience let my previous recommendation stand.
To make a long story short, I have removed my original review and recommendation post on HalfPennyClicks, and will be editing the last post to remove its links and direct a link to this post I'm writing now.
Yes, I was very pleased with how quickly my balance was progressing there and it seemed like one of the better PTC finds I had come across in recent months. However, after receiving an e-mail updating members on how payouts were going that mentioned that after five (5) payouts, members would be required to upgrade in order to get paid again - and after a brief discussion with the admin in e-mail about it in which I explained why I would be rescinding my recommendation if that were the policy - I deleted my account and am removing links from here on the site.
A year's upgrade at the site is, granted, only $2.44 annually at this time. That's not a lot of money, no - and actually is a pretty good deal, and an upgrade I probably would be very interested in (since I don't usually upgrade anyway except at long-established sites like ClixSense, MatrixMails, WordLinx, etc.) - IF it weren't a requirement to be paid by the site.
However, I informally agreed some time ago - as did many other active members and site owners in the community - not to support sites that made upgrading a requirement, rather than an option, in order for a member to get paid. Not only do we feel it's not right, but there are some other very important reasons for not supporting this practice that I won't go into here. If you've been very active in PTC/PTR/GPT for very long, you are probably aware of those reasons.
I am well aware (highly aware) that there are an awful lot of PTCs out there and competition between them all is probably very high as far as getting active members and especially large-scale advertisers - but as many of us who participate often at GPTBoycott's forum have discussed over the past year or so, anyone who opens up a PTC or PTR nowadays should not only be fully aware of that but prepared for that, and members shouldn't be forced to bear the cost of any lack thereof - not to mention the other very valid reasons there are not to institute such a policy.
I personally gave up a fair amount of money earned at another PTC site last year after struggling over this issue, and after months of trying to decide what to do about it and a large amount of discussion with others active in the community, many of whom were also members of the same site, made the same decision to stop actively supporting the site after that site changed their terms of service for members. It was well profitable for a while, but at that point the principle of the whole thing mattered a whole lot more than the money did.
Consequently, I lost $2 earlier this year on a year's upgrade for a site that had been around a while, but disappeared shortly after I upgraded. It wasn't a required/forced upgrade to get paid, and yeah, it was only $2 - I thought that was a pretty good deal, and it was... until the site disappeared (and apparently is indeed gone for good). I've always been pretty picky and choosy about where and who I upgrade with - for one thing, it's not feasible for most people to upgrade EVERYWHERE - and then things like that happen, so naturally I'm even pickier and choosier. ClixSense, MatrixMails, WordLinx, other long-established and well-established sites - they're not going anywhere. A few other sites, maybe, where I would feel comfortable and consider it a worthwhile risk that probably wouldn't even be a risk (Readers Pond, for example). Past that, I get REAL picky and choosy about where I'm going to spend extra money, but if it's a requirement rather than an option - ethically, I can't support it.
So there you go, and my apologies to anyone that signed up under me. I'm not sure whether this policy was already there at the time or not, or whether it JUST came about, but the e-mail earlier this week was the first I'd seen of it, and for that matter, even the site's own Site Statement & Disclosure on the front page states: "We do not require you to pay any fees ever to join and participate in our site." I guess maybe they ought to modify that to read "for the first five rounds of payouts" at the end of the sentence.
If you like the site and like how things are going there for you and are happy to pay the upgrade fee after your first five cashouts, then hey, it's a great price for upgrading and I wish you much luck. I just wish it was an option rather than a requirement, because that's why I can't support their policy. I harbor no will against the owner, wish them well and success, and am not out to get anyone - on the contrary, I'm quite disappointed how this particular venture turned out. It's just as simple as the fact that I agreed to not recommend and thus support sites that require members to upgrade in order to get paid, so yeah, I have to withdraw and rescind my previous recommendation.
Okay - well, enough of that one. I have also removed a few other sites from the listings for various reasons...
I waited a while to see if GoldMineClicks was going to reappear, and have asked around a bit about it, but nobody seems to know anything and it's still gone, so I have removed it from the active listings. Kind of surprising on that one since it had been a BeenPaid.com Seal of Approval site, but we've certainly learned things like that aren't always a guarantee.
AdverBux may or may not be closed - I understand some have been able to access the forum - but I have not been able to get this site to load or, on one or two occasions, load without severe amount of problems for weeks, and pretty much since its return after disappearing for several weeks with a "we'll be back eventually" type of message on the site. With its $20 minimum cashout, not having performed very well for me in over a year of effort with it, and all of the above problems, I am just taking it off my active listings whether it's actually closed or not. I couldn't tell you if it's really closed or not because it hasn't loaded for me in weeks, so for me, it might as well be closed anyway.
I don't think I ever had a review/recommendation post on it, but I did have TitanClicks listed on some sections of the site regarding PTC and have removed it from those. It has a rather high cashout minimum as well, low-paying ads, and carried about 4-5 ads per day all this time (over a year) that I've been a member, and maybe added one new ad in that entire time. With that kind of performance, it's just not worth it to me.
I have also removed the recommendation and review on Fantasy Ads, as someone sent out an email from there the other day stating that all site activity was being suspended due the owner's emergency admittance to the hospital and that all payments were suspended as well.
Things like all of the above are the not-so-good part of PTC/PTR/GPT (mostly PTC), but fortunately there are a lot of good, established, and trustworthy sites around too - a few of which I have linked to in this post, many more that are scattered around the site. Sometimes even the well-established and honest ones have surprised us all too, yup, but honestly I think if you just keep your ears and eyes open to warning signs, read a lot of blogs like mine and others (I have a whole bunch I read every day in the sidebar), and talk with others at places like GPTBoycott and BeenPaid.com - and keep in mind that all/most of this stuff is free money and don't depend on it as if your life depends on it - for the most part, things are still good. There are still a lot of great sites and very good owners out there, I'm not going to let a few not-so-great apples ruin my day when there's terrifically well-producing apple trees out there.
And I'm not going to recommend any I'm not pretty comfortable with to you if I can help it. This situation here was a very major one that I absolutely will not support anywhere, but the policy either just recently got made or slipped by me - and the disclosure on the front page sure doesn't jibe with the policy, so I guess it was just one of those things and again, my apologies to anyone who was misled by my recommendation.
Even though I review and recommend and post a lot of sites here, there are more (actually some I have shelved posting about very recently) that I don't because while some of them may be fine, there may be something that makes me not 100% comfortable with recommending it.
On the other hand, just because one is not listed here does not mean I don't recommend it at all or think there's something wrong - like GPTs, I don't sign up with a lot of other GPTs these days anyway, so there are many regular old general GPTs that aren't listed here that I'm not a member of and most are probably perfectly fine GPTs... some even that I'm acquainted with and think highly of the owner - I just don't take on many new (to me) GPTs anymore, I stick with the ones I have already and don't seek out many new ones anymore.
In any case, if you ever have a question about any programs, listed here or not, I will be happy to answer them if I'm familiar with that program - you can always e-mail me at missmoneyhunter at gmail dot com (in proper e-mail format, of course).
OK, enough of all of that - onto bigger and better things for today/tonight!

Some Other Good Sites Lately
UPDATE 07/09/2009: This post has been edited as I am rescinding my original recommendation of HalfPennyClicks, after becoming aware of a section of the site's terms of service I was unaware of prior to 07/07/2009, and having agreed in the past to not recommend or support sites that require members to upgrade in order to get paid. For the updated information, see HERE.
Well, you'll probably recall that on Friday I posted about HalfPennyClicks (link now removed & original post deleted), and I wasn't planning on posting about it again until I got paid by them, but I just kinda had to after I took a look at my balance over the weekend.
You see, I just joined that site on someone else's recommendation a few weeks ago - sometime after the middle of June - and I've already reached cashout. Matter of fact, I've not only already reached cashout, but I'm nearly 50% towards another cashout after that.
Granted, cashout minimum at HalfPennyClicks is only $1, but if you do much PTC, you know being able to cash out this soon is pretty good for a PTC that mostly carries low value ads (most are usually around $0.005), and I guess the big standout here is they always have LOTS of ads. If you're diligent about your ad views every day, I think you'll see this balance up a lot quicker than usually goes with PTC.
I also checked (after I got wowed by my unexpectedly high balance) and they really do have very good advertising rates and some nice ad packages as well, and judging from the stats the site looks to be very, very active every day (no surprise there, all things considered).
So yeah, if you haven't joined yet and you like doing PTC - and especially if you like to advertise - this is definitely one to join. Don't be alarmed after you register if you see no ads for you to view or any account information for yourself - I think in a lot of cases admin has to process new accounts manually (and it might be a Firefox issue 'cos that happened to me when I registered), but I had full access to the site the next morning.
(Links removed/deleted as noted in update above)
I branched out to a number of new sites - more GPT and PTR sites as well as more PTCs - on the recommendations of other active members in the community in the past couple of months that I've really been enjoying seeing how things have progressed, some of which I've reviewed here and some I haven't gotten around to yet. I need to take some time this month to do more PTS than I've had a chance to lately and see how my luck runs with that, but the below newer ones on my list that I have already reviewed have impressed me the most and I feel I've been doing fairly well at in a very short amount of time:
PTCs & PTRs: YouData, Charmed Ideas, EarnEasyPTR, YeeHawClickin, Hundred Acre Clicks, BuxP
GPTs: Cash Mattress, Cupid Cash, My Flipper Cash, R U Ready 4 Money, Tiki Treasure, Big Beach Bucks
And then there's a couple I haven't reviewed here yet (but probably will this week) that I've been doing pretty well with and have impressed me as well - the PTC MyFlipperCashClicks, and GPT ClickOrSignUp (which is the sister site to DollarClickOrSignUp, which has been listed here for some time now).
And still doing very well and steady at all my old favorite standbys, and newer favorite standbys:
PTCs & PTRs: WordLinx, MatrixMails, ClixSense, AdPaid, LinkGrand, Readers Pond, Clicksia, Incentria, EarnEasyCash, Hits4Pay, Deals 'n' Cash, SendEarnings, InboxDollars, DonkeyMails, No-Minimum
GPTs: BankRollBucks, Rhino Riches, Ozzys Direct Pay, GPTCashCow, DealBarbiePaysFast, DealBarbiePays, DollarClickOrSignUp
Anyway, those and the newer sites listed further above are not nearly all the ones I'm working actively these days - many of which are listed here on the site, some which I've not gotten around to yet but soon will - but all of the above are pretty much my "main stable of sites" lately, and most definitely the newer ones listed up there above are the ones I have been impressed with how well they've been going for me the last month or two since I started checking other sites out.

My Flipper Cash
My Flipper Cash is another site I joined recently during a wave of signing up for PTCs and GPTs with good PTC action that were recommended to me from others. Like with several sites I newly joined lately, I have been very pleased thus far with my progress on this site mainly just doing PTC and some other things.
My Flipper Cash has a $10 minimum cashout by PayPal ($20 for money orders) and pays on a Net 35 basis. Besides having a lot (a LOT!) of PTC, the site offers some other neat perks with many great daily, weekly, and monthly contests, a monthly jackpot, fairly liberal use of promo codes, and an activity bonus for logging in regularly. There are three referral levels here (15%, 2%, and 1%).
My Flipper Cash also currently offers a $3 signup bonus to new members.
Members are welcome here from all countries, and the site has been awarded the Gold Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com. If not a member already, join My Flipper Cash today!
UPDATE 08/27/2009: My Flipper Cash is closing as of September 4th, 2009.
UPDATE 08/29/2009: I removed Cartoon-Clicks today from the active list and moved it to the "closed" category as the site has disappeared within the last 24 hours in light of some information regarding apparent dishonesty & deceit by My Flipper Cash admin Kelly Ann Gibbs that has turned up since the closing of My Flipper Cash. Apparently Kelly never sold Cartoon-Clicks and the "Ann" that recently took over running the site was actually Kelly herself.

R U Ready for Money Now $10 Cashout, DealBarbiePays Going to Instant Payments
Just some quick news here... R U Ready for Money has changed from its previous $15 minimum cashout to $10. That's great news! This is a really great site (with lots of nice PTC action), so if you're not already a member, check out R U Ready for Money today!
Also, the new owner of the DealBarbie network of sites posted an update mail to members last night and basically said there would not be a lot of changes to the sites. However, he mentioned some changes there will be that are definite improvements - most notably that DealBarbiePays will soon have instant, fee-free PayPal payments! They are in the process of instituting a new phone verification system (if you are a member of one of his other sites, PaidTheFastest, you have already used this before) and once that's in place, all verified members will be able to get paid instantly. All other cashout methods (gift cards, point prizes) will be handled 2 times a month near the 15th and the 30th or sooner.
So this is all good! I would assume the same phone verification process for DealBarbiePaysFast as well, though it already more or less is instant (pays within 24 hours or less usually).
In any case, this is a very exciting change for DealBarbiePays, and I certainly feel it and DealBarbiePaysFast and DealBarbiePoints are in good hands with the new owner and looking forward to the future with all three.

Hundred Acre Clicks
I joined Hundred Acre Clicks a couple of months or so ago, and this is one of several I have been very pleased with the progress of my balance when I have made a point of clicking every day. As most of you doing PTC know, it takes a while to get a balance up at most PTCs, but I have found several lately where my balance is over 50 cents or close to $1 in a very short amount of time without having upgraded, so those are the ones I have been very pleased with since adding more PTCs recently to my daily (or at least almost daily) activities.
Hundred Acre Clicks is also owned by a reputable admin in the community, and has lots of nice promotions on a regular basis. Cashout is $3 ($2 for upgraded members) by AlertPay or PayPal. The site pays up to $0.01 per ad viewed, has one referral level of 10%, and has PTC, PTR, and other options as well as regular paid e-mails.
Members are welcome at the site from all countries. Join Hundred Acre Clicks today!
UPDATE 03/02/2013: This site has closed.

DealBarbie Network Sites Sold & Other News
In catching up on news I'd missed lately 'cos I've just been so doggone busy, I was a little disturbed to read that the DealBarbie Network sites (DealBarbiePays, DealBarbiePaysFast, and I assume DealBarbiePoints as well) have been sold to Dan, the admin of PaidTheFastest, CashPirate, and two affiliate networks.
As many may be aware, normally when a site is sold I pull it from my bigger recommendation categories (Sites That Pay, etc.) unless the new owner has paid me before at another of their sites or until I am paid by the new owner; while I'm a member of the other sites, I have not as yet been paid by any of them. Still, Dan has a relatively good reputation in the community as a good owner, so I am going to tentatively leave the DealBarbie sites where they are for now (and actually should be cashing out at one of them soon anyway). I must say I really do hope a lot of changes aren't made to the sites, as they have been three of my favorite to work and I hope they stay much like they are.
Also just another quick note that AdPaid's point conversion rate, which increased not too long ago, has been raised again - this time to $0.82 per 1000 points. That's nice news!
(Thanks to Jessica and Danielle for bringing all this news to my attention via their blogs, right now I'm so busy I'd be so lost without them and others and their nose for news!)
