Things we do like about ClixSense.com:
Well Managed
– ClixSense has been online for over 7 years. For a PTC site, it is
very important how long it has been online and paying. ClixSense has
passed the test of time – they are providing their services since 2007
without any serious issues.
Paying –
Members are paid on time. Payments are send on every Monday and Friday
afternoon EST (Eastern Standard Time).
Unlimited Affiliate Program – There is no limit to the
number of people you can refer to the site and this is excellent
opportunity for members who are able to build a big downline. You will
earn click commissions, purchase, tasks or offers, signup and upgrade
commissions.
Various Earning Features – Though it
started as a PTC program, through the years Clixsense evolved in more
like GPT program. Consequently, Clixsense offers a wide range of earning
methods to choose from. Users can earn money in few different ways like
viewing ads, completing Tasks, completing Offers and surveys, watching
videos and playing the grid game. There are 4 Offer Walls available:
Matomy, SupersonicAds, TokenAds and SuperRewards.
Forum – ClixSense does have a very active and friendly forum community.
In our opinion, a PTC site should have a forum. The forum is a place
where members and staff can communicate with each other. Members can
post their success stories or doubts, post payment proofs, share the
experience that they had with the site, ask for support and stay
informed about the recent changes made to the site. Usually, on the
forum you can notice the first signs if something is wrong. If members
complain about non-payments or payment delays, then most likely the site
is experiencing problems.
Downsides – Things to Pay Attention to:
Geo Targeted Ads
– The ads are geo targeted. If you are not from North America or
Western Europe, you will get less advertisements. The amount of ads, how
often they appear and value of advertisements targeted to your specific
profile is entirely dependent on the advertisers and will vary from day
to day, even hour to hour. Logging into your ClixSense account more
frequently should avail more ads to you as you will find ads from
smaller advertisers before they are consumed by other members.
High Minimum Cashout
– Even though the minimum cashout is fixed at $8.00 and does not
increase after each payout, it may be hard to reach this amount,
especially if you are clicking on your own, without referrals under you.

ClixAddon – The ClixAddon is browser extension that will show a number in the far
right hand corner of your browser, and when clicked will display a

your balance and past and current earnings, plus one-click access to
most pages of the ClixSense site. The ClixAddon has a series of options
that can quickly be accessed by clicking on the Options button where you

ClixAddon button, by popup notifications that appear on the taskbar or
by the sound alerts. ClixAddon is available for Chrome 30+, Firefox 29+
and Opera 15+. Internet Explorer will not be supported. The old

uninstall it and start using the ClixAddon only instead.

a set of instructions that you need to follow, and when completed, you

train for the task before it’s completed. Each task can pay you between a
few cents to several dollars per completion. For every $50 you earn working on tasks you will get $5.00 Bonus that is instantly credited to your account’s balance.

depending on the advertiser requirements. The rewards are listed as
ClixCents although you will be paid cash into your account balance. 1
