IMPORTANT UPDATE
CREWBUX HAS AGAIN DROPPED USER EARNINGS DOWN TO ZERO AS THEY RETOOL THERE SITE. THEY ARE NOW ASKING FOR PAYMENTS FROM USERS TO GET GET THEIR EARNINGS. I BELIEVE THAT ANY INVESTMENT OF TIME AND MONEY INTO CREWBUX WILL SEE LITTLE IF ANY RETURNS. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY OR FOCUS TO THE SITE AND I PERSONALLY DOUBT THAT THE ADMIN HAS THE BEST INTEREST OF THE USERS IN MIND.
I have recently dropped my ranking of Crewbux due to the all of the recent changes there. The program is updated and they state that they have a lot of improvements coming in the future. But with the release of their Version 4.0, I am currently totally confused with what they are doing. They may be going instant payments but their Terms have lengthened the payment times. They have added additional membership ranks but the standards are confusing. I think they will have this sorted out and they continue to pay. I would recommend joining for the free clicks as the payout level is pretty low but I would hold off on any investment until they sort everything out.
Crewbux is a very easy to use paid to click program that continues to pay its members. The program is very easy to use. To view the ads just login, click on the surf banners tab near the top of the page, click the advertisement banner, wait 30 seconds and you get paid. Not a lot that is fancy about it but it is very easy and effective.
Like most good programs, Crewbux has a very active members forum with a very responsive admin. It appears that they are very intent on keeping the site running effectively and are usually working on implementing improvements for the program. Questions and concerns are addressed very quickly and they are attentive to their members.
Crewbux offers their members the ability to convert converted earning directly to referral purchases or ad purchases. If you are interested in these options, this will keep you from having to wait for payout in order to make these purchases. They also offer a lottery section where you can use your earnings to play for cash prizes.
Another interesting feature of Crewbux is their ranking system. By participating in different aspects of the program you can accumulate different rankings to achieve the ranking of honest member. The different ranks and their requirements are:
Gold Clicker – 100 ads personally viewed
Active Downline – 10,000 referral ad views
Big Downline – 100 Referrals
Support Member – 100 forum posts, 3 payment proof posts, one ad purchase
Premium Member – Premium Membership
Kind of tough to get but getting all of these and achieving the Honest Member rank gives you the following benefits:
$0.015 per personal click
$0.0125 per referral click
15 second ad timer
Priority payments
Lifetime rank status
Another additional bit of information is for payout request for standard members. To help in ensuring that live active members are making the request for payouts. You must post payout request in the form. Remember to register in the forum prior to making the payout request and when you make your request via the link in your account you will be directed to the proper place in the forum. It is a nice safety feature for the program and it takes one minute to do.

NeoBux is the gold standard of Paid to Click programs that most new programs try to emulate. I believe that it is now the top paid to click program on the internet. They pay instantaneously with a low payout level. All of my payment requests were completed instantly. Your first payout can be made at the low level of $2.00. No more waiting for weeks to receive your payments. You can also use your account balance instantaneously to fund your referral rentals or plays in the jackpot. This timeframe for payments was basically unheard of in PTC programs before NeoBux. I really doubted that it could be done but the payments have been received in the timeframes promised.
They have ads that refresh every day and if you check during the day there will sometimes be additional ads. I found 6 to 8 ads most days at the free member level. Most of the ads are worth $0.01 at the free level but occasionally they are worth more. To access the ads simply click on the view advertisement link from you member page. Next click on the advertisement link. On the advertisement link, a red circle will show up. Just click on the circle and the advertisement page will load in a new window. It is very simple to use and the site appears to be very safe with 256 bit encryption.
NeoBux offers a couple of features that can really help anyone who does not have a lot of money to invest in programs. You can transfer you balance from your clicks to a couple of areas of the program without having to request payment. You can use your balance instantly to rent referrals or play the jackpot. The jackpot has cash prizes and referral prizes with clearly defined odds. I am usually not a great fan of lottery type games but I used my earnings to play the jackpot and won 200 referrals. This is a quick and easy way to reinvest in the program and grow your earnings.
The referral system for this site is great if you are interested in renting referrals. In fact it has been so well received that it is usually very difficult to find referrals available for rent. The way that the system works is that you are able to rent referrals for between $0.20 and $0.30 per month depending on your membership level. These rented referrals will now earn for you with every click that they make. You can renew the referral on these members or choose not to at the end of the month. Another great feature is that you can set the rented referrals for auto pay where there rental fee comes out of the referrals 1st click of the day and saves you 10% on the rental fee.
If you have ever purchased or rented referrals, you know about the dreaded inactive referral. These are the referrals that you pay for that never click and never earn money for you. To alleviate this problem, NeoBux holds each un-referred user for 5 days to make sure that they will be active before renting them. If you do rent one that does not click in the first 14 days you can change it out free of charge. If at any time you are unhappy with the click level or they become inactive later on you can change out that referral for only $0.05. This allows you to keep your referrals clicking and earning you money.
A basic strategy that works very well with Neobux is as follows:
1. Choose a time of day that you can click ads and eventually manage your referrals at the same time everyday.
2. Click all available ads everyday (when you get referrals this is necessary to earn from referral clicks).
3. Utilize all free methods of advertising to gain any direct referrals. Talk it up with your friends and relatives. Put a tagline on your e-mail signature. Post in forums. Use free traffic exchanges.
4. Once your account balance reaches $2. Transfer this money to your rental balance and rent 3 referrals. It is only $0.90 to rent the referrals but you will need the remainder to properly manage the referrals.
5. Put the autopay function on.
6. If a referral of yours has not clicked in the last three days and has a click average of less than 1.8 then recycle it ($0.08) and get a new referral. If they have a click average of over 1.8, I will give them 7 days before I recycle them. I will give those with an average of over 2.0 the full 14 days to return and click just because I would hate to recycle a great referral just because they were on vacation for a week.
7. Whenever, one of your referrals goes below 20 days before next payment pay to add another 30 days. Below 20 days, the autopay function does not work and you will not get the savings for that referral.
8. Every time your account balance reaches $1 transfer the money to your rental balance. At first when you are only making a couple of cents per day it is important to keep enough in your rental balance to maintain your recycling activity because you can only transfer in $1 increments. Once you can complete this transfer and have at least $2.40 in your rental balance rent another 3 referrals.
9. Continue this process until you are making a $1 a day in your account balance. At this point you can begin renting in bigger chunks of referrals every 7 days. Never rent a number of referrals that is greater than 33% of your existing totals as these will become difficult to manage through recycling with your earnings.
10. It will take a while but continue the above listed process until you reach 500 referrals. At this point stop renting and just maintain your referrals. Accumulate the earnings until you can pay for the upgrade to golden.
11. Once golden, maintain your referrals as before. Every week continue to rent referrals until you hit the 2000 refs mark. Any money that you are not sinking into referral maintenance or renting is profit for you.
With the excellent payment times and the great referral opportunities, I am very pleased with NeoBux and I am moving it to the top of the paid to click rankings. It is definitely a 10.
