A FEW THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU GET STARTED


The information listed in DWYTO's PTP Blacklist section comes from information, opinions, ratings and reviews from other users like yourselves, from well known "Paid To" program related sites, as well as the research and personal experiences of DWYTO. Please feel free to correct us if you feel there has been a mistake in our judgement.
Some of the following sites are blacklisted because of numerous online reports from users like you, who said they have not been paid for their time and effort, even when the payout was very low, under $5. If they can't pay you your -$5, then you know it is a huge waste of your time to even try to continue on with them.
Some sites are blacklisted because of their deceitful use of 0x0 iframes. A frame is a smaller window that opens in the current window of the site and it is a deceitful practice implemented by the webmaster who built the page because the iframe might contain inside of it a program that shows that links were clicked on or were viewed, (when they were not!) or the iframe may contain a javascript code that acts like a search engine and shows fake searches which accrue the webmaster revenue but not you, or the site has used iframes for some other fraudulent reason. A webmaster can implement these codes to point traffic in his/her direction, in an attempt to show more clicks than there really were. It is called a "0x0" because that is it's pixel size, which is impossible for the human eye to see! Hidden on purpose! The use of these 0x0 frames is really a lot more sophisticated than my explantion, but I've tried to put it in simple terms anybody can understand.
Some of the following sites are blacklisted because their site just downright looks very unprofessional, with lots of misspellings, or misuse of the "$" symbol, or becaue their TOS and/or privacay statements are ridiculous. A lot of these websites know that most people are not going to have the time, or the patience, to sit there and read their TOS, so be careful! Sign up with these companies at your own risk. Be advised beforehand though, that they will probably spam you, or phish you, or use you for their own monetary gain.
