   If you wish to see all transactions made through my AlertPay account up to date it can be found here.

   Lists ALL incoming (purchases) AND outgoing (payments to members) transactions, as well as withdrawals to bank account/e-gold.

   http://www.velocityclicks.com/proofs/transaction_listing.csv

   Also allow me to clarify that this site earns $8,000+ NET profit. This means it is profit after all monthly server costs and paying our members. IT has been steady for the past 2 months at about the $8,000 mark and it is continuing to be doing so.

   I accepted payments with two platforms on Velocity Clicks: AlertPay and E-Gold.

   However I only did payments through AlertPay.

   The following is the csv file downloaded from my E-Gold account, shows all incoming transactions from Feb 2 until Today.

   it is a PTC website. Paid to Click. Where Advertisers pay us to put ads and links on the site while we pay our members a portion of what the advertisers pay us.

   Check the CSVs of transactions, both incoming (profit) and outgoing (payments to members). See for yourself.

   In the PTC Industry, members and visitors all have their own point of view on some sites. A great example would be bux.to, current leader in the industry nearing 3 million members. Go on google and search "bux.to scam". You'll find about 94,000 results with those two keywords put together. "Scam" itself is a commonly used keyword as well.

   All the proof and screenshots of transactions speak for themselves, we wouldn't be able to have grown so big if it weren't for our management. Traffic still continues to increase daily and new members are constantly registering.

    On Alexa the site is falling rapidly. Does this have to do with the Scam blogs being tossed around. The site has or had potential, but will take alot of work to clean up the mess.
    What is your reserved price? Why are you selling the site?

    I have halted some payments of users and have restricted some countries who are known for cheating such as Czech Republic, China, Italy, and several other Asian Countries. If you do some research, China has created a bot that would simply bypass all cheat protection, captcha, or any other trivial anti cheat. I simply had to do this and blocked these countries from accessing my site as a majority (90%+) of the population from these countries are cheating the PTC Industry. This is one of the best reasons of why people think we're scam since they cannot access the site seeing that I blocked them via a .htaccess file.

    Others may be simple misunderstandings. Some people are caught creating multiple accounts under their own downline to increase their earnings which is strictly prohibited on ANY PTC/GPT site I know. The Aurora Script does a fine job at catching the most obvious cheaters, and when such cheaters are caught they would go and cry "scam".

    Sorry flashcrawler, didn't see your post. To answer your question:

    We had a few server upgrades so the server was up and down for about a week or so, that's probably why the charts are falling on alexa but the traffic rank has still been rising. New members are still signing up everyday and most of them are legitimate now since some of those most illegitimate countries and users have been restricted from accessing the site.

    I am selling because I myself no longer has the time or interest in continuing with the site, although it really does not require that much time at all, maybe 45 minutes a day, I need to be more focused on what I'm studying now. I also want some money to maybe start a more automated site that can simply reel in earnings from adsense. Always good to try new things, the internet is the future :)

    My reserved price is set at $13,000.

    Seems strange. If you make $8000.00 a month why you would reserve it at $13000

    I didn't really plan on selling the site in the first place, but I decided I didn't want to let my members down since some are really happy with the site. I only found out about SitePoint less than a week ago and I said 'sure, why not?'. This would be an opportunity for me to make some extra money to help fund my new hosting business which I will be starting right after.

    Or you could keep the site for another 2 months and gain 3k more than your reserve? Aswell as a steady 8k income each month after.

    Sounds real fishy.

    I just signed up and noticed that 50% of the links the users click on are for your own website. For example, there was one about the refer banners and another one to pay for membership. 49% of the links were for other ptc sites with the refer as Canada and the remaining 1% was for some other site

    Do you make all your money from memberships? How much (percent) do you make on upgrades(i.e. membership)? How much do you make from other sources?

    How many of the 30k users are active? How many of the 30k users never clicked a single link after signing up?

    Thanks

    We do have some self sponsored ads for our members, but even with those numbers we've been sustainable and highly profitable.

    We do make money from membership upgrades as well as referral purchases but also a lot from Paid to Sign Up offers and Banner impressions.

    Out of the 30K members, we have exactly 78.22% who log on at least once a week and clicks at least one link, this is pulled from administrator panel.

    Hmmmm im intrested in this but it just sounds too good to be true. Also one thing i dont understand is, how can a brand new site get sooooooo much traffic when its only just opened? I mean you can not just open a new site and get around 10,000+ unique hits a day.

    Somthing tells me theres somthing your not telling us/hiding about this site. Another thing that i dont understand is if your making $8000 NET PROFIT A MONTH ! why the hell would you ever sell the site, i mean you dont even need a job or anything. Also yet another thing, if its making $8,000 a month why is the reserve only at $13,000. I mean in 2 months you can make that.

    This really does sound dodgy and theres just somthing not right and somthing there not telling us so this is why im out.

    First of all, I advise you to read the WHOLE auction plus look at all the attachments clearly and carefully. Also, please read ALL of the above comments as I did post and answer questions and explanations already.

    If you are familiar with the PTC business you will know how we get so much traffic so easily on a new site with little marketing and advertising.

    We get about 7 per day on average, each usually buying just 1000 credits at a time, but sometimes more.

    We also get about 5-8 people a day purchasing the Paid to Sign up credits where we profit really good from.

    The forum has been shut down because the auction does not include the vBulletin license with it. I am already in the process of registering and transferring the license to my new web hosting business.

    Fairly interested in this, although can you explain to me a few things.

    Firstly, are you selling this site because it is a proven scam? with a reputation destroyed beyond repair?

    How accurate is your payment proofs section, considering this screenshot http://www.realptc.com/mmhmm.gif

    we heared that you still have some debt on website(members complained they have not paid), how you will confirm that there is no debt left on website before we buy website?

    I have continued to pay out members just like I did since I started the site. Before I transfer ownership to the buyer I will fulfill all current pending payments before ownership is officially transfered.

    if the site repute is down in some forums how much the worth of website can be?
    vcnetwork there is ptctalk forum and some other forums... where velocityclicks is mentioned not paying to members, we recommend you to pay your members and then sell your website without any debt

    Regardless, there are some people who do not get paid because they did not abide the terms, either they were caught having multiple accounts in their own downline or even detected of using a autoclicker or bot due to the amount of times failing the cheat check test. Some of these people, after getting banned or suspended from VelocityClicks, would go and cry wolf on some of the PTC communities. They're intent? I really don't know, but I would never pay someone who is for sure to be cheating the system, its as if he is stealing money from us and it's advertisers.

    I will for sure pay off every single last pending payment right before I hand over the ownership of the website.

    I'm not allowed to, in fact I need to wipe the database as soon as the license transfer to my other domain is completed. I only have one license of vbulletin so I cannot sell it with the auction, sorry.

    I do think your answers are not quite believable. No one in their right mind would think about 13k if they are making 8k month.

    There is one way round this that you could agree on.

    The payment could go into Escrow on the understanding that you receive it 4 weeks later after proof of earnings?

    This guy is a complete scam. I am telling you from now he has not paid anyone since March 12 2008 to be exact when he was discovered to be the owner of icashout (a.k.a. Eric Lew). He has admitted to this and with a little bit of research you can connect the dots. When he was discovered him and his friends put up a big act by saying that he had been hacked and so he cant pay anyone when in fact they ran off together with all the money. He is known as a scam anywhere in the ptc world. Many members have been ripped off from his previous sites as well which included icashout.net and probux.net. Velocityclicks is heading nowhere. All of the experienced members know it is a scam and nobody is clicking. He is manipulating the numbers in the database to make it seem like over 100 members are joining his site a day. Do not trust him! Go to any ptc forum and ask about velocityclicks and they will tell you how much this guy has stolen from everyone. You will only lose money if you buy this site because every single member of the site is pending payments. He will probably say that I cheated on his site and he banned me so I am getting back at him, but you dont have to take my word for it. Search in google for getpaidforum, talkptc, or ptctalk those are the biggest ptc forums at the moment and ask them about this site before you buy. It is shocking how deceptive and cunning this thief is.
