The global traffic rank of ClixSense started dropping obviously last year.

The situation is still going on.

What is the main reason in your opinion?

Quit of Paypal?

Removal of ad-clicking? (other PTC websites still keep it, their rankings drops much slower)

Is ClixSense facing serious difficulties or not growing anymore?

I would like to listen to admin about this issue.

Traffic stats don't mean much.

We know Clixsense lost money on bulk PTC ads - so if that decline in traffic were people who actually cost money, lowering the traffic rate is an increase in profitability.

A whole bunch of traffic exchanges died over the whole Paypal and Payza thing too, while the most well known of them still exists, but also stopped paying - so a reduction in traffic could well be a reduction in these low quality traffic sources too.

It's better to have a hundred people that earn you money, then a million that cost you.

That's not to say everything is going grand, and all is well - just that you haven't got access to the right metrics. If you wanted to raise an eyebrow at Clixsense, raise it at the members who did lots of surveys and offers but disappeared from the forum, not at the traffic stats.

1.) The forum "Active Members" have been as low as single digits (notably off peak hours, but often)
2.) Going through old forum posts you will notice a lot of usernames have not been seen in months. Can also note last login.

My answer to the OP,

Yeah, Paypal hurt, a lot... Both in ease of cash out and perception of trust.

Ad Clicking, that's why I joined in the first place, and all I was really looking for from ClixSense.
There is another "Survey House" I use and get more out of referrals. (so far $1.00 per year, per Ref.)


Right now, for me, the only benefit specific to ClixSense are fee free cash outs. (and faster lately)

I hate faster pay I loved hitting $15-20 by time paid on $10 cashout last few time lucky add dollar or two before paid. But I pretty sure I am the oddball. I also noticing Jim starting pay late at night not just first in morning.

The forum traffic dropped when visiting was no longer a checklist requirement.

So many option to make money online!!

I don't see much difference.

The reason why you don't see as many at the forum, is because they don't
have to be at the forum any more.

Before, you had to visit the forum at least once a day in order to count
towards receiving the free daily bonus. That is no longer the case.

You never had to participate.

Its true. I agree with you

Members in general do not see everything that moderators see.

Over the years, at various times, there have been a few members at most any
time of day, that frequently posted. Some of them at those various times,
eventually were booted or totally kicked out of the program.

What I am saying is, there is not just one reason you don't see as many at
forum but primarily it really is due to not being forced to visit the forum in
order to receive the free daily bonus.

Rules have become a little stricter too. In addition, there was the same ole
members that constantly hounded moderators to the point that many mods
either left or simply decided to no longer contribute fun and discussions.

It's not just this forum. When you look around, the world has become a
society of complainers. Always complaining about something. Many don't
seem to see the beauty or joy any more and it can be tough to see thru
foggy glass.

One of the reason is that in today world most are not like tasman1 who must post or he will die

Since PP was removed and I started to use the cheque pay out,
I let it run up to $100/120.Currently am at $130++ by the 15th
it will likely be $140/$145. By the time I get it 10/12 days later
it is getting close to my birthday and maybe Jim will give me
double the amount for my 83rd

83rd, wow if I am Jim I will give you extra 83.00 dollars and no reversal on that

No they did not have to participate. However, if you were at the forum you
may have noticed a good deal of members at the forum most any time of
day or night. This was of course due to different time zones/countries and
members logging on to make their daily bonus.

Also what comes to mind is walmart. Frequently heard in the USA 'I went
in walmart for a loaf of bread and some milk and spent over $100'. In other
words if you visit the forum, you may be more likely to make a post or reply.

Well if they do that they would require ID verification if not mistaken right ?

In any case no site lasts forever, popularity drops this is inevitable - this is like TV shows, some really good shows get canceled because ratings drop over time - It was expected to see some drop after the PTC element (CS's roots) was removed and the multi level affiliate program. Add insult to injury with the downfall of PayPal and Payza, so I think all this contributed. Another thing that may have contributed also the very popular rainforest task that parted ways with CrowdFlower and now independent - this was probably one of the most popular tasks. I have not followed much about F8 but I heard it is just as bad with a big decline in tasks quality. Of course numbers is just ONE piece of information - quality of traffic is more important in the end - quality over quantity, you can actually have worse results with more quantity. Unfortunately and sadly, the top converting niches for this industry other than porn, is get rich quick schemes and money seekers - Any site with the lure of quick easy money doing nothing will get good traffic and fast, but can they sustain this ? No, it's basically fly by night operations - they last for a while then exit and start over under new names.......... HYIP / Ponzi and company are kept alive today thanks to Crypto and of course PM (PerfectMoney) which is still alive.

What people referred to as PTC over the years were for the most part ponzi schemes in disguise - join a new PTC, rent referrals, get a really ridiculously high averages on the bots, cash out, hop to another PTC etc, this was the cycle in the old days hop from one bux to another for some people who did not learn or realize what "model" those "PTCs" ran on which were nothing more than ponzi schemes. Remove this "artificial" aspect and just pay your users to click ads for micro cents and your traffic and interest will drop like a rock - Whenever there is lure of money making without efforts you will get people's attention but God forbid if the money must come from hard work, skill, etc, nope, that won't cut it, you will struggle as a site owner.

As far as ClixSense, I think one of the best decisions was to add offers & tasks I'm sure that did much better in terms of results than the PTC alone - though if anything were to happen to the one thing left, tasks, it would be really bad IMO, would be left with offers which are tier-1 targeted mainly.

My predictions are dire for the future of the GPT industry though - the quality of offer walls, offers in general is horrific - scams, clickbait, junk, is rampant, affiliates are lowing their pay rates, fraud on the rise as a cause most likely, and the quality in general of offers / surveys has taken a massive decline - Should we blame site owners ? NOPE I think MEMBERS of such sites also share responsibility - the cheating and fraud users over the years have nothing but contributed to the decaying state of the PTC and GPT industry in general through lower quality offers / tasks and lower rates of pay, so users probably share more blame than site owners and providers.

I don't see a bright future for GPT and tasks it seems F8 is not any better than CF and they are set in their ways of leaving FULL control over the fraudulent task authors that reject work and hand over flags, so much that people are scared to work on any given tasks :/

As long as PM and Crypto is there, the scam and BS sites will be the last surviving ones, unfortunately, and they will still need PTC sites and monitors to advertise their sh** and as usual these ads have higher conversion because people SEEK money - you are not going to sell cars and houses on a PTC :/ You are gonig to "SELL" similar programs or money earners - Sure put make $10,000 per week on a plain banner, and you will gather interest - The same people who got scammed over and over are helping these industries survive - I'm a victim to these bullshit scams of the past but I learned my lesson I stopped supporting them when I quit the HYIP industry a long time ago, never touched a single new program of the sort since. Because I found better methods to earn online from freelancing, luckily with one of the former providers here though it's still a lot of work - but that's how you EARN money, by working, not by STEALING it from others which is essentially what people do on those other so-called PTC / revshare / HYIP sites
