Notice / Update (February 18, 2013: Site will be changing out the banner ads to intermission ads. If you don't want to annoy your visitors I would suggest you update your links. More info:
http://forum-ptc-investigation.com/index.php?topic=1219.msg19778#msg19778
Linkbucks is a free service that pays web users for the links they share. They have sponsorship deals with top advertisers that allow them to display their ads when visitors are linked to a page.
For example, lets say you are trying to get people to sign up on your favorite ptc site. You are posting your referral link on forums and blogs, and so on. What linkbucks can do is make sure you earn something every time someone clicks on that link.
What you would do is take the link that you want people to click on, lets say your wordlinx referral link, and you would let linkbucks put a frame on this page and display a ad. Need a example? See how I put my wordlinx referral link through linkbucks in the example below.

You can do this with blogs and any website. See image for more details

Recently I noticed another change when I went to cashout. It told me in order to cashout
I must complete my profile and give my full address and other personal info.

Annoying Ads
My advise is to stay away from the pop ups and the intermission ads selection.
If you do use them, then don't over use the. I see many PTC sites using them
on every page load. And to be honest, they shouldn't be on PTC sites. This
was meant for bloggers and site owners.
I like the top frame ad because it isn't as annoying. If you use the pop up ad
in your link submission it can turn people away. They do say it will earn you
more money to use these pop up and intermission ads, but your audience might
not appreciate having pop-ups .

Slows Down Your Site
If you elect to have a "full page script" ad on your site, it might slow down your
site's load time. Especially if you already have a lot of java script on your site.
Which is why we are no longer showing linkbucks full page ads on our site.

Concerns & Criticisms
Is it worth it? - Some claim you can make more with submitting your link to others sites like "Digg" and other link providers. I say what can it hurt? It doesn't take much of your time and if you have your link to your site in your signature on forums then why not earn from every click when someone clicks on your link?
Recent Changes Site has had great growth over the past year, and now it is showing some changes that members are not happy with. The minimum cashout has raised from $5 to $10 due to the number of accounts under audit. At least that is what they are telling everyone. Also rates have decreased recently due to low amount of advertisers. Will see if this decline continues or if the situation improves.
Also be aware that Payza cashouts are going to have a delay. If you use Payza you should know by now that this payment processor is giving people a lot of issues when trying to add funds.
Summary
We feel LinkBucks is a safe and paying site to use. If you are looking at others ways to make extra money, this would be a great choice. Be careful with how you put your links out there. Don't end up spamming people for the sake of making a fraction of a cent. This program would be great for blogger and web site owners to help pay for their time blogging and other expenses.
We will continue to monitor this site. If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so on the designated message board on our forum.
