Payment Processors
Posted 16 months ago
Dear Members,
First of all, thank you very much for your kind support regarding our recent problem. It's great to announce that our PayPal account is completely functional again. This means that rewards were activated again, all members are free to cashout through PayPal!
Now I'd like to announce that this month we'll test three new Payment Processors: AlertPay, LibertyReserve and OKPay. During this month, these Payment Processors will be available to add funds and to make purchases (but not to cashout!). I invite you to share your opinion regarding which Payment Processors you prefer and why :)
Please note that we're still discussing internally the introduction (or not) of any new Payment Processor. It's not certain at all that all these Payment Processors (or any) will be offered in the future. Right now (and excluding anything unexpected), only PayPal is certain.
[March 7th Update: Everything seems to be ok again, PayPal will probably return later today :) but hey! I'm still interested in knowing your opinion regarding payment processors!]
We are facing a problem and I'm interested in your opinion. Today our completely verified PayPal account was limited and the reason given by PayPal was not disclosed. Right now I'm in talks with them in order to know exactly what happened and what should I do in order to use their services again. I believed that my procedures regarding our account's verification were correct and I believed that I was doing everything as supposed. PayPal is undoubtedly the best Payment Processor for Pladza because of its universal online use and reach, consequently I'll do everything possible in order to feature their services here again. You have my word.
What happened was not expected due to my belief that everything was being made correctly, however, I was completely aware that this type of problems are common in the PTC world and I obviously had a Plan B planned if this (unexpected problem) happened.
So, until this problem is not solved, I'll have to deal with it through all means possible. As I said before, I'm in talks with PayPal in order to solve this problem and to feature their services here again, this will be our main “battle front”. The other mean I'll use in order to deal with this problem is the activation of our Plan B.
Our Plan B consists on the introduction of a new Payment Processor in order to substitute PayPal. Starting today, I'll add our completely verified Business AlertPay account again, our completely verified Liberty Reserve account again and probably our completely verified OKPay account again. These Payment Processors will be offered this month and we'll study which one turns out to be more popular.
I ask you your opinion regarding which Payment Processor should we select to use and why. Also, If you have any type of experience, I'd like to know what you think of OKPay and of SolidTrustPay. Our intention is to only choose one of these four Payment Processors because this “only-one” option always leads to a huge stability gain on the long run.
One important point everyone should be aware of is that, as you can see, this month will be a very different month to us: our Payment Processors will be under an experience. This means that, only this month, rewards will be temporary disabled (expect everything to be alright by April 7th). I'm sorry for this decision (I know that many of you will not enjoy it) but it's one I have to make in order to preserve Pladza's stability and integrity. This means that our Payment Processors will be set to only receive funds.
Please note that we're not going to reset your account balances. It's true that the limitation of our PayPal account is a hard attack to our funds, the ones that back up our member's account balances, but we'll be completely able to reward you after the new Payment Processor is selected. We went from absolutely zero debt to a debt of roughly $150 - the sum of our members current account balances – Pladza's bank account is more than capable of backing this up :)
Again, you have my word that everything will happen as expected and as I'm saying it will. Many of you know me since the beginning (8 months ago!) and/or from other forums and you know that I always keep my words and I always do what I say I'll do. I'm honest and coherent with myself, my team, my staff, my members and my advertisers.
Thank you for your support and comprehension, don't forget to send me your opinion! :)

Join us!
Posted 16 months ago
Dear Members,
[First of all, this is not a sponsored message, I don't do that ;)]
Yesterday, our member HyperAffiliate1 invited me to join a free viral advertising program with commissions from inside membership sales, this program is called vTrafficRush and has a very nice set of features + a cool design (in comparison with the competition).
However, I immediately made HyperAffiliate1 notice that this program is not as good as it seems, the primary objective of the program - free viral advertising - is flawed. Why? Well, first of all, you should be aware about how this type of programs work: the idea is simple, it's a forced action free pyramid advertising scheme, you have to see 6 or 7 ads and then you may put your ad there, occupying the bottom position of the pyramid (receiving your own page and levelling up every time you get a new referral or your referrals get a new referral) It works and it has the potential to become really viral.
However, in this program specifically, free member links only appear on their pages + their direct referrals' pages. This means that your direct referral referral pages won't have your ad! This particular website is good but only for the so called “pro” members. I don’t recommend it for free members.
So, here’s the deal:
I’ve been aware of this type of viral advertising systems for a long, long time, four years ago I even managed to get roughly 100 000 views to a ref link of a PTC site I was member of through one of this programs!
So, I’ve been thinking about this and I decided to join the same exact free viral traffic program I used to get 100 000 free views 4 years ago (this program let’s you level up through the entire pyramid, unlike the previous one)! I’ve been talking with fellow members HyperAffiliate1 and Velhium (the one who started all this craze) and I decided that I’ll self-advertise this program here on Pladza during 2 days!
Please notice that this is a pretty old system, it has an old design and it’s currently advertising some old pages that even my anti-virus alerts as unsafe (xD) but it works! It’s the perfect example that sometimes old is gold! Let’s just use this to clean those old adverts!
Kindest Regards,
The Admin

Very Important News
Posted 16 months ago
Dear Members,
This is a very important text, please take a moment to read it.
On this text I'll talk about the following subjects:
[bull] Our New One Year Subscription;
[bull] Our Small Logo Design Changes;
[bull] Our New Embedded Forum;
[bull] Forum Moderators;
[bull] Our Forum Contest;
[bull] Our New Referrals Contest;
[bull] Our Facebook Page;
[bull] Our Facebook Referrals Contest Results;
[bull] Help Pladza;
[bull] Our Extreme Promotion.
In the beginning of this February, Pladza turned 7 months old. This may be nothing special for a normal website, but it's undoubtedly a remarkable mark for a Paid to Click advertising website.
We've been growing slowly, stably and healthy (and by “healthy” I mean with ZERO debt) for more than 7 months now… This led us to decide that the next logical step should be the purchase of a one year subscription from our script provider. And that's what we've done: since the beginning of February there's been a new icon on our homepage representing precisely the purchase of a one year subscription of our script license + all host services + all DDOS protections. In the name of the entire Pladza team I'd like to say thank you because all this would not be achievable without your help and support. Thank you.
Symbolizing this small test of time, we decided to change slightly our logo, as you probably already noticed. We sincerely hope you like this new change :)
Furthermore, today I finished the setting up of our new embedded forum. This new forum has a series of advantages in comparison to our old phpBB forum:
First of all, there's no need to create a new account in order to use the forum, this embedded forum, as the name suggests, is embedded within Pladza, which means that you now may use the forum inside our website, giving you a much richer, fast, intuitive and fluid experience.
Additionally, this new embedded forum will lead to the drastic reduction of the number of spam bots. This will happen because now the forum itself is protected by Pladza's top notch anti bot protections.
And this is not everything! Starting today, all banner advertising campaigns bought will appear on our forum too! We sincerely hope this to be of your interest :)
Also, right now we are looking for moderators. We are looking for responsible, sensate, serious and wise moderators. Are you interested?
Being part of Pladza’s staff is a great honour, it means that you are contributing for a great and honest project with an awesome potential.
If interested, please contact us through our support system :)
Please note that our moderators must speak English.
Whether interested in being our moderator or not, I personally invite you to come to our new forum and to introduce yourself to our new community! Also, introduce yourself to the community (in the “Member Introduction” section) and post a rational “non-spamming” reply to any of the already created topics to receive $0.02 directly into your account balance! To receive this reward, simply send us a support ticket with the links to your posts and with the code “NF002”! Hurry up, this contest only lasts till February 24 23:59 Server Time!
Note: members are allowed to use our forum only after 100 clicks made, this means that this contest is only for members who made at least 100 clicks!
Now I'll present you our third Official Direct Referrals contest!
This contest will be very simple: receive $0.10 directly into your account balance per each 10 direct referrals gathered! Act fast, you'll not regret it! Per each 10 new direct referrals gathered, send us a support ticket with the code “DR010”, your reward will be credited as soon as possible!
This contest starts right now and will last till February 29 23:59 server time! Enjoy!
Moreover, I'll now talk about our Facebook page, could you please like us? It's very fast and simple, just click here http://facebook.com/officialpladza !
Thank you very, very much :)
Now I'd like to announce the winners of our Facebook referrals contest!
It's my pleasure to announce that: 1st – hyperaffiliate1
2nd – portugueseone
3rd – jeankeng
All winners will receive a message and the prize today. Congratulations!
Furthermore, I'd like to remember that we have an extreme promotion going on, here are some of our prices:
Some of our 7 Second Ad Packages: [bull] 1 000 views - $ 0.60
[bull] 10 000 views - $ 6.00 Advertise With Us Now!

Fight SOPA, PIPA and ACTA!
Posted 17 months ago
Dear Members,
As you probably already noticed, our header today is different. Pladza is against SOPA, pretty much as the majority of the key websites today. SOPA represents a heavy attack on freedom and liberty of speech. If you’re not aware about SOPA, its sister PIPA and its european cousin ACTA, please take a moment and read this, this, this and this. You’ll probably be against SOPA too.

Dear Members,
Could you please help us?
Thanks :)
In order to do so, please vote for us here, here
and here
We decided to increase our micro ads rates! This means that now you'll earn $0.0005 per each micro ad seen (instead of the previous $0.0003) :) The rate per referral click remains unchanged ($0.0001 per referral click).
This was achieved while managing to still feature the lowest prices on the market for micro ads! In fact, Pladza is the PTC Advertising System with the lowest prices for any type of advert! Remember this!

Posted 19 months ago
Dear Members,
Pladza is now offering 7 second ad packages!
These are great news, but you don't know the best part yet...
The best part is that Pladza is making History (again!): you know that we have the lowest prices on the market for banners, 30 second ads, 60 second ads and so on... and now you'll know us because we have the lowest prices on the market for Micro ads!
This effectively turning Pladza the PTC Advertising System with the lowest prices for any type of advert!
The fact is: Pladza has the lowest prices ever! :)
It's with deep pleasure that I announce that Rewards have been activated again!
Enjoy your earnings :)

PayPal
Posted 19 months ago
Dear Members,
In consequence of what I’ve said on the blog post “Good News For Everyone”, our Payment Processors will change this week. PayPal will return to Pladza and we'll stop accepting AlertPay, Neteller and LibertyReserve.
This means that PayPal will be our only Payment Processor.
PayPal is the most widely used Online Payment Processor, it will allow us to accept credit card payments again and restart rewarding you.
Additionally, I’d like to give you a huge “thank you” for your patience during these dark times, thank you! :)
Kindest Regards,
The Admin
[Update 2 - The change has been made! We are now (finally!) accepting credit card payments again and cashouts have been activated again too!]
PS: If you want to add funds through one of these ceasing Payment Processors, do not wait any longer! Add funds while you can!

Good News For Everyone
Posted 19 months ago
Dear members,
I'd like to announce you that we've decided to activate our “Plan B” in case AlertPay does not solve its problems this week.
What is our Plan B? Well, our Plan B simply consists on the return of PayPal (and, possibly, the addition of OKPAY).
You cannot imagine how tired I am about AlertPay continuous delays and increasing number of complaints. But that's the price to pay for being third-party dependent, I guess. Unless something is made. And that's exactly why we'll activate our Plan B: because we want to get rid of this problem.
We need to accept credit card payments again and we need to pay you. Pladza needs this, and that's what we'll do.
Consequently, if AlertPay doesn't solve its problems this week, expect to see some changes on Pladza :)
Kindest Regards,
The Admin

Problems
Posted 20 months ago
Dear Members,
It's with deep sadness that I'm writing this message. Pladza is in trouble.
Pladza is facing two problems and I'm writing this message because Pladza needs your help. Those of you who are here since the beginning know that I'm honest and I'm not here to deceive anyone. I've always been clear about what is happening, my objectives, my ideas and my opinions. This message is only me being coherent with myself.
The number of members/advertisers adding funds and advertising on Pladza is very, very diminute. Members/advertisers are not advertising on Pladza as much as we would like them to and as much as we were expecting they would. That's why our advertisements are decreasing in number (actually, Pladza doesn’t have daily ads, our daily ads’ number is variable and only depends of our advertisers). If you have read our FAQ or The Revolution Files, you know that self-sponsored ads are not healthy for a PTC Advertising System, consequently, we usually don't have self-sponsored ads and that's why we're not trying to maintain 10 daily ads. Our ads should be real. Real ads from real advertisers, not self-sponsored ones.
Consequently, I ask you two things related to advertising on Pladza. The first one is the follow: were you ever in a position where you were almost going to add funds into your Pladza account and then stopped? If so, why did you stop? What made you stop? Please send us a Support Ticket explaining why. Thank you very, very much!
The second thing I ask you is to advertise here by transferring funds from your Account Balance to your Purchase balance. We offer minimal prices, like:
Please, use and abuse of these prices. Transfer funds at will, advertise your websites, blogs, forums, products, businesses, opportunities, PTCs, places or events here! We need adverts, we need to create more dynamic on Pladza, transfer funds and advertise, that will help us a lot, thank you very much!
Now I'll talk about the second problem we're facing.
I hate lies and deception, especially the ones involving PTCs sites and etc, consequently I'm going to be completely honest and clear about this (again, it's all about being coherent with myself): we need to temporarily stop cashouts. No, we're not going to turn scam (if you're following us since the beginning, that idea shouldn't even appear in your mind!),
I'll explain why:
As you know, Pladza features four payment processors: PayPal (currently deactivated), AlertPay, Liberty Reserve and Neteller (this one only as way to add funds, not to cash out). This means that we offer two payment processors to cash out: AlertPay and LibertyReserve. Now, if you're into this kind of stuff (payment processors and e-money) you surely know that AlertPay is facing some problems regarding bank accounts, credit cards and deposits (you can read more about this here http://blog.alertpay.com/ and here http://ptc-investigation.com/alertpay.aspx ); that’s why BuxHost (http://www.buxhost.com/), our Script provider, has recently added Google Checkout as a payment processor in order to allow all sites with their NextGenPTC Script to receive credit card payments. Well, the idea is great, but there's a problem: Google Checkout is only available for merchants (admins) who live in the USA or in the UK. This means that Pladza is not allowed to use Google Checkout (we're from Portugal, in case you don't know :) ).
Consequently, we are currently unable to add funds into our AlertPay account. This is a very, very serious problem. AlertPay is our main payment processor, above Neteller, above PayPal and above LibertyReserve, AlertPay is our central payment processor for receiving funds and rewarding you. This, mixed with the low quantity of members adding funds through LibertyReserve, mixed with the low quantity of members advertising (as said previously), mixed with our will to turn Pladza the number one Online Advertising System, makes us need to temporarily stop cashouts in order to give stability to Pladza. We're here to stay, I've always said that. This makes stability our number one priority. And I sincerely hope you all understand that.
So how are we going to temporarily stop cashouts? We've been debating endlessly about this question and we don't have a final decision yet. We've been thinking about:
a) Turning Pladza temporarily a “no-cashouts-PTC”, only allowing members to transfer what they earn into their Purchase Balance;
or
b) Simply increasing the payout minimum.
I ask you to send us a support ticket with your opinion about which of these options would you chose, which one do you think would work better for the stability of Pladza (remember: what is good for Pladza, is good for you too in the long term!).
Right now, we'll temporarily increase the payout minimum to $20. Remember that this is only temporary.
I worked very hard in order to create Pladza, actually only I know how much of me I've spent on this project. What I mean is that I will not let these problems destroy Pladza. Please be patient, believe in me, in my team and in this project. The $1 minimum cashout Pladza you know is part of what I idealized: it is completely possible and mathematically stable. It will return (hopefully sooner than I expect).
For now, please understand this temporary change, send us the support tickets I asked previously and advertise here at least by transferring your Account Balance into your Purchase Balance (advertising: after all, that's why Pladza is here).
Thank you very, very much! :)
[Update: We've decided to choose option a), thank you for your Support Tickets! Please note that this is temporary, we'll change this right after credit card payments return to AlertPay (you may check their blog here)! Meanwhile, transfer your account balance funds to your purchase balance funds and enjoy Pladza! :)]

The Revolution Files - Part 1
Posted 21 months ago
Dear Members,
This blog post is arguably our most important blog post ever.
Here, you'll discover the totality of our much hyped (yet still not completely undisclosed) revolutionary core concepts and ideas. I call this text The Revolution Files.
Please read this post when you have time to so, as it possesses extremely important information regarding Pladza.
I'm aware that it is not an easy or a short text, but it is surely a curious read.
Thank you very much :)
The Revolution Files
Since the beginning of our Pre-Launch, we've been stating that Pladza will be different, revolutionary, avant-garde. We’ve been saying that Pladza will be a Revolution by itself, becoming the new standard. The concept that others will imitate.
We’ve backed up our statements with the technical characteristics our system will feature, with the Pladza Quality Standards and with the “different feeling” we have, in comparison with the other PTC Advertising Systems on the market today.
Right now, this is mainly what comes into your mind when you think of Pladza:
• A free Premium membership offered to all members;
• Potential $1,50 - $1,55 monthly earnings (30 days vs. 31 days);
• Absolutely no investment needed;
• No referral renting;
• No special membership upgrades required;
• A “promoters lover” attitude, with a huge 1 000 direct referrals’ limit (capable of even increasing to 10 000 as explained on our FAQs);
• An “only click on potentially interesting ads” attitude towards members;
• The Pladza Quality Standards for advertisers;
• The Pre-Launch mode;
• Insane Pre-Launch promotions, like the Premium Pioneer offering (featuring a 500 + direct referrals’ limit) and the “Crazy Pre-Launch Ad Packages” (featuring the lowest prices on the market);
• And, finally, a set of revolutionary core concepts yet to be revealed.
And that's exactly why I'm writing this.
While many of the currently known characteristics are different and unique, those much hyped “revolutionary core concepts” behind Pladza weren't disclosed yet. That's what I'll do on this text.
As previously said on the blog post “Who Are We?”, I am a former active member of PTC Websites and then an active advertiser on PTC Websites and other Advertising Systems.
As usual, I began as a PTC member. Back then, I simply loved the idea of spending just 5 minutes daily viewing advertisements, referring others and making some money monthly by using a PTC.
I had preference for the classic PTC sites, the so-called “Bux” PTCs. On that kind of PTCs, viewing 4 $0.01 ads per day, with zero referrals and with no investment, in a 31 days month, a member could make $1.24. That's $14.24 per year without doing practically anything. In spite of being a small amount, it's undoubtedly easy money.
In my case, on one PTC (a supposedly serious one) I had a bunch of referrals, a free membership and I actually managed to reach some very nice monthly earnings without spending a cent. I used to use that money to buy some stuff at ebay and such. It was cool. But then, something happened. That “cool factor” disappeared. Why? Well, I simply reached my free account direct referrals’ limit. A small limit. That meant that if I wanted to increase my earnings, my sole referral earning effort was not enough, I was obligated to invest.
And that was definitely not cool.
Additionally, some time later, one other PTC website (also a supposedly serious one) where I was a free member, turned a Forced Investment Site (it went from a Paid-to-Click system to a Pay-to-Click system, and that was definitely not for me). At the same time, another “serious” PTC website where I had a free account stopped paying from one day to another. Non paying sites, scams... You see, I could be here writing all day sharing my bad experiences as a member of PTC websites, but it's not worthy. Deception, lies, losses, unfortunately I've had tons of them as a PTC member. You may rest though, because that won't happen here on Pladza.
Then, after some new experiences and creations, I became an advertiser. This new perspective made me enter on a whole new world. Regarding advertising on PTC advertising systems, I only used the top ones, the ones which supposedly have more members and provide the best service. I must say that things were not as beautiful as they seemed...
The truth is, from an advertiser point of view, PTCs have some great, great advantages: Paid-to-Click advertising systems are able to gather massive numbers of members; members from all types of countries, all types of religions, all types of social classes, all types of interests, all types of ages, all types of opinions, et cætera... all types of everything, actually. PTCs are able gather a super eclectical member poll. Given its exponential growth nature, PTCs are able to reach everyone with an internet connection. Spread into the entire web. Become Mainstream. This enormous potential is absolutely fantastical to advertisers. However, also from an advertiser point of view, current PTCs also have a series of disadvantages, which could be all summarized into this: their conversion rates highly differ according to the ad category. This could be translated into the following sentence: current PTCs only convert for “make money” advertising, or... in other words, current PTCs only work for “money making” related adverts. And, guess what? Even for that, current PTCs don't even work as well as they could. I'll come back to this later.
Now, forget what I've said for a moment. There's a question I'd like to ask you:
What is a PTC?
I'll answer for you:
A PTC is an Advertising System.
Sorry, I have to emphasize this: a PTC is an Advertising System. This is something that all members must have in their minds. A PTC is an Advertising System which shares part of its revenue with its members. The vast majority of all current PTC members remember the last part of the last sentence but seem to forget the first (and arguably most important) part of the definition of a PTC system. Before everything, a PTC is an Advertising System. This brings serious and important consequences.
PTC members and even PTC administrators usually forget what a PTC is (or should) be about: advertising. I dare to say that roughly 100% of all PTC members forget this (Damn, even I was like that as a member!). Well, even you! I bet $100 that you are a member of PTC Systems just because of their revenue share characteristic. But wait! That's not bad, don't feel bad about it! Everyone needs money! Actually, that's not bad for a PTC System either. Ok, now you're puzzled. But don't panic, I'll explain: If you're just interested on money making schemes and opportunities, you're welcome! Very welcome! PTCs need this type of members. There's a huge market out there who wants to reach exactly these members. Additionally, the fact that everyone needs money is exactly the reason why PTCs have an exponentially growth characteristic; and this remains true whatever interest members may have: extra money is always welcome. But what you and everyone must understand and interiorize (especially if you're here just looking for the extra money) is that a PTC is an Advertising System. A PTC exists to advertise. The absence of the understanding of this (especially by admins) leads to failure. Consequently, it's normal to see PTC systems becoming scams, not paying and closing after some time. And I'm not talking about PTCs created just to scam people, I'm talking about really honest systems which are just flawed from the early beginning: simply because of the absence of the understanding of what a PTC System really is, both by admins and members (but especially by the first ones, as I said). Please note that those admins are not necessarily scammers, they're just delusioned admins who felt in the trap they unawarely built.
Regarding members, everything is kind of simple: the common member is a member just because he wants to make some extra, easy money. That's not bad, as I said earlier. PTCs need this kind of members. However, these members must be aware that the PTC doesn't exist to make them money, the PTC exists to advertise. All members must be aware of this, It's crucial for the PTC health. If a PTC member only wants to make money, that's fine, but he must not forget what the reason for the PTC existence is.
If a member loves a PTC system and loves his earnings, he must try to follow the PTC system guidelines as strictly as possible, that way making the system grow strongly and healthy, creating a Win-Win-Win situation (between the PTC, its members and its advertisers).
PTCs share their earnings, that is part of what they are, but this revenue share is an extra, a bonus. PTCs reward members for using the system, that's excellent! But the objective and function of PTCs must be clear to all members: advertising. While this is not forgotten, everything runs perfectly.
So, you're into PTCs, right? I say: use them and enjoy the earnings. But don't abuse them. Remember what is the PTC reason of existence and follow its guidelines. That way, the Win-Win-Win situation emerges.

The Revolution Files - Part 2
Posted 21 months ago
For PTC admins, though, things are a bit more complex. As I said earlier, both members and admins have responsibilities regarding the failure of a PTC system because of the unaware of its reason of existence; however, admins are especially responsible.
If you're into the PTC scene, you know that there are many reasons leading to the failure of PTC systems. Debt is one of them, as I said previously on the blog post “Pre-Launch?”. However, taking the debt example, if we analyze deeply what's behind the rising of debt in PTCs, we find that it all is consequence of that unconsciousness of what a PTC is that I've been so extensively talking about. Admins’ unconsciousness. This happens when Admins see their PTCs primarily not as Advertising Systems but as Money Making Systems (both for them and for the members). In fact, it all ends up to be a question of priorities. A PTC system is indeed also a Money Making System (a consequence of its revenue sharing characteristics), but it is primarily an Advertising System. The primary aim of the system must be clear. Crystal clear. As I said before, a PTC is an Advertising System. Advertising is the reason why the system exists and that must be crystal clear in the PTC admins’ mind. What happens if it doesn't? Exceptions apart (because there are always exceptions), the system will fail. That happens because the main concern of the admin is, instead of turning his system into a highly stable high converting advertising system, the cash flow of his Money Making Scheme.
PTCs should not be created only to become Money Making Schemes. When one admin creates a PTC just because of the system money making scheme characteristics, his PTC is utterly destined to failure. These type of PTCs ultimately become disguised Ponzi schemes, schemes which, by definition, have failure as fate. More than 90% of all PTCs on the market are just this: disguised Ponzi schemes. Membership upgrades, fake referral rentings, all these things created just to feed the Ponzi until it collapses. That's why more than 90% of all PTCs die in their first 6 months. They become financially unstable because they're not able to create enough money in order to pay their members. Hey! Wait a minute; weren't PTCs supposed to actually share their revenue?! How is it possible that a PTC is not able to pay what's on one member's account balance?? Isn't that already received money that was actually shared? Well, theoretically, PTCs share part of what they already earned. Imagine... one advertiser buys a $5 ad package and the PTC he's using shares 50% of its earnings with its members. In this case, the PTC receives $2.5 and the other $2.5 are going to be shared with members. This is linear and stable. However, unfortunately due to the misconception made by almost every admin (by seeing their PTCs primarily as Money Making Schemes) what happens is that the majority of all PTCs start with self-sponsored ads, starting crediting all members’ account balance since day one, without any previously made money being shared. This huge mistake is the usual debt starter. Consequently, on these cases (the majority of all PTCs) the only way for the PTC to survive is to have huge money behind, capable of covering up the initial cashouts by members, and hope to start making money before the exponential growth nature of the PTC turns even all this money behind insufficient. For the delusioned admin, everything must start by giving money (even if it doesn’t turns out to be viable on the long term) since day one. It is money, money, money instead of math, math, math. This money making craze is a disease, turning honest PTCs into financially unhealthy PTCs, which die shortly after. All this just because admins do not fully understand what is or what should be the priority of their systems.
That said, now I will stop generalizing and start explaining exactly how different will Pladza be and how will it work. It's not difficult to imagine though, after everything I've just said.
First of all, Pladza will be an Advertising System.
Pladza will be an Online Advertising System which will share part of its revenue with its members. Technically, Pladza will be a Paid-to-Click system, a Paid-to-Click advertising system with no misconceptions. This means that Pladza will be primarily and above everything, an Advertising System.
Pladza will be the first High Converting Online Advertising System. When I say “High Converting”, I am not saying it will convert above the average in comparison with the vast majority of all online advertising systems (even that, per se, would be great!) No, no. I am saying that Pladza will convert extremely above the average. And not just for money related adverts, but for everything! For every advert type.
How?
In consequence of what I said before, Pladza will be the first PTC where our primary service comes in first place. This means that here, advertising will be our primary concern. Our aim is to achieve the best conversion of the advertising market. The Pladza Quality Standards, our Ad Categories, our “preferentially click on potentially interesting ads” policy, all these characteristics are just the beginning.
Some paragraphs above, I said that current PTCs only work for “money making” adverts, or , in other words, current PTCs only convert for “money making” advertising. This means that current successful PTCs only work as advertising systems for “money making” advertising. This happens because roughly 100% of all PTC members are only interested in money making schemes.
Additionally, I also said that, even for that type of adverts (money making schemes and stuff), current PTCs don't work as effectively as they could. Why? Well, it happens that, due to the previously reported misconceptions made both by PTC members and admins regarding what a PTC is, members end up being more concerned about how much they're going to be credited after viewing an advert than with the advert itself! And I'm talking about members interested in money making opportunities! Sometimes, even extremely good and interesting money making opportunities are missed by those members. Freebies, free methods... you see, even free interesting stuff is missed! All those missed opportunities (and sad moments for advertisers) happen because more than 50% of all PTC members don't even see the adverts. They click on them and change the browser tab. You know what I'm talking about. In order to increase the advertising conversion, this needs to be changed. And Pladza will do it.
So how will Pladza become a “High Converting Online Advertising System”? It's certainly not easy to overcome those deep misconceptions by members, right? So how will Pladza manage to actually do it?
Well, Pladza will make members feel something by our advertisers’ ads: Interest and curiosity.
Our system will make members feel interest and curiosity by the ads we display. This idea may be curious, but the big revolution does not lie exactly here.
You see, the big question here is “How? How are you going to make members feel that about your ads?”And here it comes, the answer to this question is our biggest concept.
The big revolution lies on the next idea:
Discoveries.
Pladza will be the first Online Advertising System rewarding members by their discoveries.
Wow. Now you’re confused. Check out this small analogy:
During the Portuguese Discoveries, between the 15th and 16th centuries,
Explorers working for the Portuguese Crown were rewarded by the Kingdom for each of their discoveries and accomplishments.
I am now bringing this idea into the 21st century.
Obviously, Pladza is not a Kingdom, but Pladza members will become 21st century explorers, discovering the world through the new high tech Ocean, full of mysteries and opportunities: the World Wide Web.
By adding this new concept, this “fun factor”, we will manage to create interest and curiosity by our advertisers’ ads. This, mixed up with our Ad Categories, the Pladza Quality Standards and our “preferentially click on potentially interesting ads” policy, will gradually change the way members view ads. Our members will be allowed to make 10 “daily discoveries” (in practice, view 10 ads daily). By adding this limit and encouraging members to only view potentially interesting ads, we are ingeniously forcing members to view those ads which seem more interesting and/or are from a more interesting category. This idea seems strange at first sight, but it is perfectly doable.
Furthermore, as I said before, we want Pladza to reach not only the classical PTC members looking for money making opportunities but also every other type of internet users. We want Pladza to become Mainstream and to become a mainstream advertising system for mainstream advertisers (in other words: advertisers from every ad category). However, we are aware that our system will be strange for advertisers not used to PTC systems (and even that ones will strange some things), consequently will offer Advertising Packages starting at $0.05. This way giving a “try us” opportunity to advertisers, which we believe will be very positive for the new ones.
Moreover, in addition to the Demographic Filter and to the Membership Filter, we’ll offer never-before-seen timers, up to 5 minutes! This way strongly influencing members to surf and discover the advertised website!

The Revolution Files - Part 3
Posted 21 months ago
These revolutionary concepts will be awesome for advertisers, but what about members? Is there anything revolutionary coming for them?
Absolutely! :)
You see, most of the biggest and successful PTCs reach a position where members seem to don’t have the minimum importance. Ridiculous earnings, late rate changes (for worse), admins trying to dumb members down, et cætera. All things that I am certain that (unfortunately) you have experienced at least one time. They reach a position where advertisers are everything and members are nothing. They forget that PTCs live in a closed cycle: PTCs need advertisers and members alike. While advertisers are the one who invest in the system, it’s not less true that members are the ones who spread the word, make the system grow exponentially and turn the system desirable for advertisers.
Here on Pladza everyone will be special. Advertisers and members. That is why we will offer a Premium Advertising Service for advertisers and a Premium Experience for members.
As said on our Homepage, after our Official Pre-Launch (October 7th, 2011), we’ll offer a free lifetime Premium membership to everyone.
This means that:
• We'll offer good earnings to members (the lowest click value will be $0.005 for 30 second ads)(unfortunately this changed with the introduction of 7 second ads, the lowest click value is now $0.0003);
• We'll not force members to invest in order to cashout;
• We'll not feature “Super-Hyper-Ultra” memberships with unrealistic earnings potentials;
• We'll not offer referral renting (a questionable service which is so uncertain that it's more similar to betting that to anything else);
• A 1 000 direct referral limit, capable of even increasing to 10 000!
• And, above all, a realistic and stable PTC system: a tool to discover interesting opportunities, businesses, products, blogs, forums, websites, places and events.
Please remember that our special Premium Pioneer membership will only be delivered during our Pre-Launch mode. Additionally, we are currently studying the hypothesis of adding a symbolical “Investor” membership, that way allowing members to help Pladza monetarily and allowing advertisers to only show their campaigns to verified buyers.
All this features will turn Pladza a “one-of-a-kind” experience for members. We really hope to please you. :)
Finally, I'd like to add some things:
First, be aware that, to us, all members are special. But we do recognise the value of the great promoters. That's why we have our massive direct referral limits, giving our Premium membership a never-before-seen earning potential among the other free memberships on the market today. When we reach the 10 000 direct referral limit (visit our FAQs for more information), we'll be offering a free membership with a $36 518.25 per year earnings potential! Remember, this is almost $37 000 per year with no investment needed!
Second, remember that, on Pladza, stability comes first. For us, math is sacred. That is why we will not offer crazy rates per advert view nor fixed self-sponsored ads. We believe that stability is achievable while offering nice and enjoyable monthly earnings, but perfection does not exist.
Third and finally, remember that Pladza is an Advertising System above everything. Our Money Making system characteristics are secondary; they may be enjoyed and appreciated, especially on asphyxiating times of crisis like these, but be aware that they will not make you rich.
If you any doubts or questions, feel free to send us a Support Ticket or to register and participate on our forum :)
Please note that I'm aware that all these features and objectives I've just revealed will not work and/or be achieved in the beginning of Pladza. Also, some of the differences between Pladza and the usual PTCs will be only cosmetical, we are still using a PTC script after all*. Members will still “Click, View and Earn”, a motto commonly used by the normal PTCs. However, while in practice some things will remain the same, others will be undoubtedly different. And that different factor will work in our favour. Additionally, some of you may think that I am the delusioned admin here, I am aware of that too. That's because our ideas are so different that may seem strange to some. In that case, there's nothing I can really do. Just remember that different good ideas are always received with distrust, growing slowly and gradually until they become accepted ones. I'm here with good will and I have everything to win or to lose. You, on the other side, have everything to win and nothing to lose.
Pladza will remain in “Beta” after our Official Launch, until we reach all our goals and our System's Desired Quality. We want Pladza to become a Premium Advertising System, featuring High Converting Advertising Packages, but we need your help. If you agree with our ideas, help us! Spread the word! Spread the word everywhere with your referral code! Websites, universities, schools, streets, public buildings, tell the world that a revolution in PTC systems as began (do not do anything illegal, though)! Use the web 2.0 to spread the word about the first full featured web 2.0 Advertising System! Let's turn Pladza the VIRAL PTC, LET THE REVOLUTION GO VIRAL!
Tell your friends and family about how different and special we are! Use our system, follow our guidelines, advertise if you're an advertiser and be happy. That way, the Win-Win-Win situation will inevitably emerge. Remember that if we grow strong, you grow strong!
Our ideas are Utopical? Almost! Do you know why? Because they're achievable! :)
Welcome to the family. Welcome to Pladza. :)
Kindest Regards,
The Admin
PS: I'll improve this post whenever I find it appropriate, I will alert members on the News Box if I do so.
* By the way, we are currently using the NextGen PTC Script by BuxHost and we have a great relation with them: we've already requested a set of interesting features to be added to the script, so expect cool things to be added in the future :).

Pre-Launch?
Posted 22 months ago
Two of the most repeated questions we receive are these ones:
“Why are you in Pre-Launch?”
and
“Why did you decide not to credit members during the Pre-Launch?”
We understand completely your doubts. We’ll give you an answer that will fit for both questions:
It’s not uncommon to see Advertising Systems similar to Pladza appear in Pre-Launch in the beginning, that’s kind of a common practice, actually. The existence of a Pre-Launch is useful for the websites: it allows each website to discover its flaws and to correct them before the system is “up and running”, that’s exactly what we’re doing on Pladza. However, it is indeed uncommon to see an Advertising System similar to Pladza, in Pre-Launch, and not crediting members for each ad they see. What’s the idea behind this?
Well, if you’re into the “PTC scene”, you know that many of the “so-called Bux sites” fail in the first 6 months, most of them becoming scams. What is the main reason behind this? Obviously, some admins want to scam members since day one, we’re not talking about those sad situations. We’re talking of the other face of the coin, the other cases of non-paying PTC sites. You see, many of the alleged “scams” out there, are not really scams:
Scam
n. A fraudulent business scheme; a swindle.
Many of the non-paying PTC sites have honest admins who want to have a legit, healthy and correct business scheme. Consequently, they’re really not scammers. But the big question remains. What happened? Why did their PTC websites stop paying if they really wanted their businesses to grow healthy?
Well, this kind of admins simply faced a gigantic problem: debt. Their websites started crediting members since day one, with self sponsored ads. While this may seem like a nice idea, it isn’t. Even if the team behind the website has money behind, say, for example $50 000, it’s not enough. Given the exponential growth of this kind of websites, debt will appear. It’s just a question of time. There are exceptions, of course, as with everything. But debt is the common fate of a website like that. This means that these websites started an ever growing debt since day one and that’s what we are avoiding with our Pre-Launch. (Note that there are tons of other reasons turning PTC Websites into scams, like unverified payment processor accounts, etc…)
You know that we have revolutionary ideas behind, some of them were not even disclosed yet. Now you’ll know something more: we also have big ideas behind. Really big. Pladza is not your ordinary, dull and banal PTC, Pladza is something more, bigger and better. Superior.
Some say “honesty is our policy”, we don’t need to say that, our background speaks for us. Believe in us, support us and spread the word. We need you. As we have said before: “you’ll not regret it”. :)
Sincerely,
The Admin

Launch
Posted 22 months ago
Dear Members,
We've been fighting with time in order to Launch Pladza as soon as possible. Since our Pre-Launch, we've been pointing the beginning of September as our ideal time to Launch, however please note that that soon Launch may not be possible due to the huge amount of things we must execute before. Right now, our team has tons of bureaucracy to deal with, things that inevitably must be dealt before Pladza's Official Start.
Pladza will become the new paradigm in the advertising industry. As we'll unveil extensively in the future, our objectives are big, honest and different. Have patience, have faith, enjoy our Pre-Launch Ad Packages, start gathering direct referrals (as we've said before, you'll not regret it) and view our advertisements if you find their titles and/or category interesting. Remember that good and quickly seldom meet.
Thanks for your understanding and support :)
Kindest Regards,
Pladza Support Team
