Default Is PTC legal (ethical) or is it robbing advertisers?

Do you think that PTC programs are ethical?
I mean you get paid to click on ads that advertisers are paying for.
In the end, the advertisers get cheated and loose money.
Joining a PTC program is in my opinion being an accomplice to robbery.
Does anyone here agree with this?

It depends on whether or not the advertisers know that they are get PTC traffic or not. If they know exactly what they are getting then no harm is done.

To rob the advertisers, and the company doing it, a person creates multiple accounts, which most do not allow if memory serves. This steal from three people, the advertiser, the company running the PTC program, and the person that could be clicking that doesn't have an account since someone cheated and has two.

A real PTC program could be made, but the income level is so pathetic that you can make more picking up a few recyclable cans. That is why the GPT programs you normally see are ponzis, needing the new members money to pay the older members supposed earnings.

Based on my experience, PTC is simply a way for advertisers to connect with consumers and get their promotions seen - which advertisers are willing to pay for. After all, they have a captive audience. If you see something that interests you while you are clicking ... well, that is the whole point and what advertisers are willing to pay for. I know it works, so I also utilize PTC in my promotions (as an advertiser). I am also a clicker, who views and clicks ads and earns on an individual basis. I also have built a rather nice downline, and am finding that to be quite profitable PTC, when done correctly, works on all 3 levels!

I think that the advertisers must know what to expect from their adverts on this iste. Also if they buy some ads and they make no revenue form them then surely they woudl not bother advertising this way again. There are a lot of sites which have advertisers making repeat purchases and surely theyw oudl only do this if they found their advertising to be beneficial

From my experience with PTC sites, most ads are nothing more than ads for other GPT sites, clickbank sites or some other type of home business. Only a few PTC have ads from more traditional businesses. So I'm guessing that traditional businesses are going to be careful when deciding whether or not to advertise on PTC sites. An honest site like Clixsense that has a lot of members is attractive to traditional businesses but I think if it's a dishonest site, a scam site, then you're not going to see that type of advertisements there.

I've seen some PTC programs put some validation links once the timer is off, to make sure the advertisement is seen. So as long as the ads were seen, the advertisers should be happy?

The problem with that is those who are clicking on the ads are NOT interested in the ads. They just do this in order to get paid.
I am sure you wouldn't be willing to spend money advertising, just to have your ads watched by people who aren't interested at all in what you are trying to sell.

That's right. Most people are not interesting in the ad at all. They just click and wait for the time to reach 0 and the phrase "Your account has been credited for ...". That's it.

People who are doing PTC are people who want to make money, not looking for any product to buy. So, I really don't think this way will be working with the advertiser as well.

PTC sites are only good for making referrals on other sites and generating traffic.
