This is similar in theory to manual traffic exchanges, but you actually get paid to view the advertisements.  This is a great way to make a little money and many of the Paid to Click (PTC) programs have pretty nice affiliate commissions associated with recruiting new members.  It can also be a better way to spend some of your advertising dollars should you choose to advertise on the the PTC website, because your advertisements tend to get better visibility than on a manual traffic exchange.  Meaning people are more likely to read your advertisements due to the way most PTC programs open up another tab or window for each advertisement shown.  Most of these programs even allow you to buy a downline and this allows you to start making money right away on their efforts.  Be wary some of these Paid to Click programs seem attractive, but when you actually start using them you find that they are paying .002 or .005 per click instead of .01, which then is a total waste of time, and of course would hurt any earnings you might make from your downline.  I will be only advertising the PTC programs that have the best earning potential.

ClixSense - This is a great Paid to Click program, upgraded members can click on hundreds of advertisements and receive cash for each page they view.  Upgrading is only $10 for a yearly membership, and this makes you eligible to earn commissions each time you recruit new members and they upgrade.  You can easily earn back the cost of a one year membership in the first month or less.  I highly recommend this program.

Other great Paid to Click programs:
Bux.to is one of my favorite paid to click programs, a very large number of users, and many ads to click on daily.  I recently purchased 35 referrals, and it is already paying me commissions from their clicking activity.  Highly Recommended.
DaddyBux another very good paid to click program.  The one disadvantage is that there are not a lot of advertisements to click.
Wordlinx an easy to use paid to click program, with a decent number of advertisements per day.
Bux3 appears to be somewhat of a clone of BuxTo.  A very good paid to click program with lots of advertisements to click, and you can purchase referrals.  Highly Recommended
TurboBux is a good paid to click program.  The one disadvantage is that not all advertisements are .01 to click, so make sure you click on the green links to get the maximum return for you time.
10Bux.Net is another very good paid to click program, lots of ads to click and earn.  I would recommend joining this program.
TripleBux - I really like this paid to click program, very similar to Bux.To
WorldBux - a very good PTC program, with lots of advertisements to click.
Adbux - Not on par with ClixSense or Bux.To, but worth joining.
