I was referred to join, Romeo-Bux, a Paid-to-Click (PTC) Website by a friend on a social site. I joined Romeo-Bux on his reference as I have a lot of faith on this virtual friend of mine who has been referring me to join PTC sites that are considered as Legit. On some of his referral sites I am nearing the minimum payout limit as well. I will be publishing those sites and their information only after I have been paid from them into my Paypal or AlertPay Accounts.

When I joined this particular website, Romeo-Bux, I had joined purely on the basis of trust and regard for my up-line friend. But as luck would have it, two days later, I got a message from my friend that the website was a scam and there was a particular clause in its Terms of Service (TOS) that the earnings on the site cannot be withdrawn out of the site. Instead, the amount that you earn can be used to purchase their different schemes to advertise or showcase your website. At the start, I was disappointed to read this message from my, as I was eying a quick payment from this site. But as luck would have it, the site was now branded as a scam. My friend was really sorry for the inconvenience caused by all this.

Then I started reading the TOS of Romeo-Bux and was happy to find that the site offers great deals for earning and also using the same in advertising your website.

To summarize their Earning schemes For Free Members are as follows -

1. There are at least 30 ads to view per day - This increases the chances of quick earning

2. The ads are of 20 seconds of duration - This means you do not waste much time on viewing ads

3. The amount paid per click is 0.01 USD

4. Minimum Payout Request is 1.00 USD - This is the trap which makes you register with the website

Following is the text as on Point 11 on the TOS page of Romeo-Bux

So what I did was this - I worked on my earnings on this website on a regular basis and made the $2.00 in my account. Then I used this money, that was with them, to purchase advert spots for my website. I have been getting a couple of visitors on my website from here.
