Site History
Here are the pros and cons of this site:
PROS:
1. Forum - This site does have a forum. Forums are great for communication between members and staff. Members can post payment proofs, get support, and stay up to date on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here: http://esobux.com/index.php?i=f
2. All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site. Will update if this changes.
3 . Registered Company - This does not insure the site will not
scam, but it is positive step. Note that there are sites that have
registered and have gone scam. So do not put too much faith in a site
that is a registered company. It is only a positive and that the owner
might be serious about running his/her site.
CONS:
1. New Site - We do not recommend investing or buying upgrades on new sites. For at least 6 months, if not a year. If you can't wait that long, at least test and get paid first before you decide to invest.
The main reason why we see this as a downside is due to the large number of new sites that go through many sudden changes during their first 6 months. Changes anywhere from rates per click, payment processor issues (paypal limitations), and payment wait times. New sites notorious for changing their terms. Why we do not recommend investing on new sites.
2. A "Bux" Site - This type of ptc has a very high fail rate. Most "bux" sites go scam under 6 months, if not within a year. Most rely on upgrades and rental purchases rather than actual advertisers. A typical "bux" site will show fixed/self-sponsored ads, sell rentals, and have a higher rate per click. This type of business model is not very successful and unsustainable, which is probably why most "bux" sites fail.
3. Whois Private - Hidden ownership in site registration.
4. PayPal Limited - Site claims their paypal is limited and is currently working on restoring their account with paypal.
5. Earnerz? - People have spotted the earnerz banner code in the promotional tools area. This site is most likely connected to other past scam sites. For more info:
