Useless points, and some cash...
So one thing I that annoys me about Swagbucks is the affiliated search engines. If let's say, you go to NYGiants seach and get some SBs, you can't use them at the reagular site. You need to use them at NYGiants search swag store. Wish someone had told me that at the begining. I have 29 SBs that I keep having to remind myself are useless.
Cashed out another $5 Paypal card today. That's 2 this month!
Also qualified for my first Webperspectives.ca survey. That puts me 10% of the way to cashing out. Not bad I guess. I hope it picks up. They send you surveys where the only prize is a sweepstakes entry. Sorry, not an insentive for me.
By the way, like JimFred, I rank the best sites in order on the right. So the higher ups in each catagory should be tried first.

Clixsense (catch-up #4)
So, on the outside, it seems a bit basic. Then you crack open the shell, and you find something pretty ingenious inside.
It’s the simplest form a PTC. You log in, go to ads, there’s and ad. Click the ad. Wait 30 seconds. Get $0.01. Sometimes there’s two. Usually 4 to 5 throughout the day is what I’ve noticed, but I’m not glued to the computer, so it might be more.
Now you say, “$0.045 per day, why bother?” Well, it is one of the simplest clicks out there. No moving dots to click, no numbers to match (except maybe once per day), just a simple click. Also, the upgrade fee is small, compared to other sites. $10, which I earned through Swagbucks, is all it cost. According to JimFred, he earned an average of $0.15 per day after he did his upgrade. That’s a serious change. In three months you would have easily made that money back… but it gets better. When you first upgrade, there’s between 400 & 500 ads waiting for you right away. Now I don’t know if that’s a rule, but it happened for JimFred, and it happened for me, so I think it’s the usual. So that’s a good chunk of your money back right there. Lastly, and this is a part I haven’t yet explored fully, but the referral structure goes deep. 8 levels I think. In simple terms; If you refer someone, and they refer someone, and they refer someone., and so on, you make a portion of each of their clicks eight levels deep. So if you’re going to refer, go to your tech savvy friends, as they will be more likely to refer, too, lol.
Also, I just made JimFred $2.00 by upgrading, so that was a nice little bonus.Only catch I found was that the upgrade had to be via google checkout, so I couldn’t use my paypal. Other than that, this is almost my favourite.

Neobux (catch-up #3)
This one has huge potential, but takes a lot of fiddling and testing to start getting right.
It’s you basic PTC site on the surface. There are, at first anyways (and for me anyways), 4 guaranteed sites to click every day. There ends up being more eventually, but this is it to start. You aren’t allowed to start referring members until 30 days in and I think until you perform 100 clicks. So with all these rules, what’s the point, right?
Well, you can start “renting” referrals. It basically means you’re hiring other users to click ads for you as well. As a free member, you get $0.005 per referral click. Now since it cost me $0.25 to rent this clicker per month, they would need to make 50 clicks in that time to pay me back. With at least 4 available each day, they could potentially be clicking 120.
The snag is, not everyone is as click happy as me. I definitely do the 120+ per month, so if anyone has me rented, I’m making them some money. So here’s where the fiddling comes in. You have to start weeding out the crappy clickers, keep (“renew” them for another $0.25) the good clickers, and keep renting new ones, so you have a large pool of clickers to filter through.
Confused yet? Well I was, but it’s a risk free (if you don’t put any money in) place to try it out, and all you’ve wasted if you don’t turn a profit, is your time.
If you do turn a profit, then that’s gravy.
This is a legit site, they’ve been around for a while, and have spawned many imitators.
Try it out.

My routine
I get to work about an hour before I should be starting, one of the many benefits to car-pooling. I don’t really mind, it gives me a chance to work on this project. Typically, I go to Swagbucks first and flip through the no-obligations offers (it’s only 1-3 SBs per day, but they add up fast). Then I start going to my list of sites, but I search them in Swagbucks instead of just typing the address into the browser. I type the whole address into the search (ie. Dealsncash.com). I’ve been getting SBs once or twice each morning for doing this. My list at the moment is 10 sites long that I go to everyday. Not bad for just one tiny extra step to get to the page, right?

ClearVoice, you had me worried
First survey I`ve completed on Clearvoice in over 20 days, and the first one that`s even been avaibale in 10. It was $1.00, so I`m still $2.70 short. Low payout makes me happy though.
Clearvoice is still trucking.

FocusLine Surveys (catch-up #2)
FocusLine was the first survey site I joined. I believe it was the first since it was at the top of JimFred’s list, and also since it had a $5.00 sign-up bonus. The pay-out threshold is about as high as they come (at $25.00) but you can get there surprisingly fast.
There are some nickel and dime profile surveys that you qualify for 100% of the time, so might as well do those right away. In general, the regular surveys pay between $1.50 and $3.00 each. Everyday, or every other day, there is a survey called Sweepstakes to win $50,000, or something like that. If you qualify, which is about a third of the time, it pays $1.00.
Put that all together with your signup bonus, and you’ve earned your $25 in 6 weeks… well that’s what it took me anyways. The only catch is you have to wait for your pending funds to become “earned”. That’s where I’m sitting right now. Over $31 in the pot, but only $18 earned.
I still put this one on the top of my list because JimFred has proved it pays, we know it’s accessible to Canadians, and the funds grow nice and quickly.

Swagbucks (I'll start catching you up)
It must have been the first money making venture I started, but it’s hard to tell since they all began in such quick succession. A friend told me all about the Amazon.com giftcards he had been earning and was showing off the graphic novels he’d purchased with them. Intrigued, I asked what the deal was.
Swagbucks.com is, at it’s simplest, a search engine. Granted, the first three search results are usually sponsored results, but since they’re clearly marked, they’re easy to skip. Occasionally, after hitting search, you are awarded swagbucks, which are the currency used on the site.
To give you a frame of reference, 700 swagbucks will get you a $5 paypal gift card. That’s how I roll, since I would like to use the funds on eBay, but if you prefer other giftcards, you can get them considerately cheaper. Alternately, you can also redeem your points for physical prizes (S&H is included).
It’s definitely an easy to use site, which is key to me. It’s available to participants in the US, UK and Canada (minus Quebec, sorry mes amie). Lastly, there are extra ways to earn bucks i.e. daily hidden codes in their blog or Facebook page, Trade-in old used video games, or even by flipping through a fee offers per day.
It was also the first website to pay. I've cashed out for $5 giftcards twice since March 1st and am 3/4 of the way to a third.

Description 2.0
This is the description I though I was going to post... the they tell me limit to 500 character. But I wasn't going to let all the hard work go to waste. So now you get stuck reading it.
Inspired by a friend who’s gotten quite good at the whole PTC (paid to click) and Online Survey racket, I’ve decided to chronicle my own experiences trying to make an easy buck. The only problem is that JimFred82 is looking at it all from an American perspective. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but for some sites I rarely get forwarded opportunities, and for others I’m not even eligible to join.
So here’s the plan. I make my own list. I’ll use JimFred’s list to start, but I’ll filter out all the stuff I can’t join since I’m in Canada, then I’ll move the not-Canada-friendly stuff down a few notches, and finally, I’ll start adding my own sites to the list with my own experiences. Am I putting any money into this? No, I’ve decided that all funds that get invested into this venture will be reinvestments. That may take a little longer, but it’ll be a nice counter-point to JimFred’s all-in ballsy method. I wish I had the guts to do it his way, but it ain’t gonna happen.
Is this going to be all business and no fun? Nah. Because you don’t need to know, but I wanna tell anyways, I’m going to regale you with what I spend my revenue on. Since I’m using the free/no-money-in approach, it might take a while for the bragging to start though.
