Firstly, I have to admit this post is a little (about 2 months) late, because of my holiday and laziness.
Secondly, I have some bad news. Since 6th of June, SWATcash only accepts members from US, UK and Canada. Lucky international members like me who joined before are staying and using the site as they use before, but no new sign-ups from other countries are allowed. They decided to do this because it was the only way to sustain the site. Members from other countries don't have enough offers to complete, therefore they bring nothing to the site but only earn money from the world map. (The only solution I could come up with was allowing PTC offers, so that international members can have offers too, but they will not allow this.)
Now, the good news (for me at least). I won $500 from "May's Monster Chat and Forum Scavenger Hunt" in Swatcash, and got it (plus some referral earnings minus some donations) to my PayPal! This was the more than I got till that day. (Albeit as of yesterday I received a total of $674 from Neobux)
How did this happen? In SwatCash, there are special contests every month. For this May, it was "May's Monster Chat and Forum Scavenger Hunt." It took place on 31th of May. They changed 15 things in site on the evening of May 31th, (4 AM in the morning at June 1st for me:) ) and asked us to find them in 2 hours. At the end, I came second and had to choose one of these prizes:
3x - XBOX 360 Elites
3x - PS3 40 GB
3x - $500 Cash Prize
10x - 8 GB nanos (You chose color)
3x - iPod Touchs 32 GB
7x - $250 Cash Prize
3x - Wiis
Considering I'm an International member, it was not that hard to choose my prize. At the end of June, they shipped the prizes. (Or added them to our accounts) And at the end of July, I got my payment:
Normally, monthy payments are made at the 15th of the month, but for July only, it was delayed. But it was of course absolutely OK for me, since I got my biggest payment till that day!
Why is it $505,58 instead of $500? I had $14,58 of referral, PTC and Offer Earnings, but I donated $9 of my bonus earnings from scavenger hunt to open the goods page in armory. (You have to earn $5 in offers or donate $5 from bonus earnings to open the goods in armory.) Now I can purchase PayPal bonus with SC's I collect from the world map and daily attack!

Buxout Preview: They SELL referrals while paying INSTANTLY!
BuxOut has also instant payouts but has one big difference from NeoBux and SandraClicks. The others are renting referrals, but BuxOut sells referrals, AND you can also recycle your referrals still! You can pay $0.25 and recycle any referral, and the new referral you get will be yours for life! Selling referrals has never been tried yet in "instant payment ptc" industry. Lets see if they can manage.
The rates for clicks are the same with other 2 sites in BuxOut. $0.01/click and $0.005/ref. click. But if you become premium, it's $0.0125/click and $0.0125/ref. click! Minimum payout is $5. If they can manage to survive with this features, BuxOut can dominate the PTC industry in near future. We'll see...

SandraClicks Preview: They have INSTANT payouts from $5
Sandra Clicks has a similar design and features like NeoBux. Instant payments, referral renting, referral recycling, $0.01 per click and $0.005 per referrals click for normal members and $0.0075 ref. clicks for premium members. Payout is at $5 for normal members and $2 for premium for first payout, after that it's $10. They also have a friendly support, as you can see on their banner:)
As innovations, in SandraClicks, you can select how to view the ads. You can view them whether in classic style or in "parent windows". You can also select your login style, which I like very much. You can select to login with cookies or secure PHP sessiones.
SandraClicks looks very promising as an instant paying, stable and sustainable PTC. I feel that it could be my second source of PTC income after NeoBux. It's not invaded by millions of people so you can rent referrals (almost) anytime you want, plus you can find many direct referrals. So be quick and build your downline!

News from earn3 and extra10
As you may now, Earn3 and extra10 are 2 nice PTC sites owned by the same admin, so,
+ The payout on earn3 is again $3. (Was $3 from the start, than was raised to $10)
+ Both sites anounced that they will introduce instant payments! They now have a line system for payouts, until instant payouts are introduced, you can see how many members are before you on the line to payout.
- The lines are going a little too slow. They pay only 3-5 standard members a day. I requested my payouts on 10th and 13th July and I'm on 222th and 186th. (on earn3 and extra10, respectively.) It's been already ~50 businnes days. (TOS states 60)
I thought they will pay these lines very fast and when they finish everybody, they will start instant payments. Now I hope this is not the case.

Isabelmarco still pays but...
Edit: BEWARE! IsabelMarco does NOT pay to standard members anymore.
Many people are having a hard time getting paid from Isabelmarco's Moneymaker these days. But I think I found the way to get the money.
They announce the payment days on their forum. (For example they're paying the free member requests from 2nd of August today, 33 businnes days, not bad eh?) So, request your payment by PayPal (if possible) and just PM "Isabelmarco", after the day you requested is past on that topic. So if you requested at 1st of August, pm now. I got my last 2 payouts using this formula. :)
As we can see from the recent ugly banner invasions to the site, it seems like they lack funds a little and don't want to pay that easy, so you have to really want your money!
Another thing is, there is a silly "warning" on that payment days topic:
We also noticed that a lot free members (thousands) are only here with us to profit, but never invest a single dime.... so we have to change and do something at this, we will make a thread about this later.What did they expect? This is a site to make money. I'm sorry dear Isabel or Marco or whoever but they are not "a lot", all members are on your site to profit. And they don't have to invest to get profit*. It's not a "pay to invest(?)", it's a PAY TO CLICK, I think this means people can earn by clicking ads, doesn't it? What are you going to do about this? Are you going to pay only those who invested? I'm really curious...
*I cashed out $53.85 at earn3 and $53.24 from Uronlinebux, without spending a dime on those sites.

NeoBux introduced PayPal cashouts!
A month ago PayPal has reviewed the NeoBux website and their business strategy and concluded with assurance that NeoBux has nothing that goes against PayPal's Terms of Service.
8 days ago, NeoBux introduced purchases by PayPal.
And now, you can cashout to PayPal!
But there are 2 things to know:
1. A small fee up to $1 will be deducted from each cashout. (2% if below $50)
2. Cashouts are only available to PayPal verified accounts. (You can get verified by adding a bank account or credit card to your PayPal account. This is the way other trusted sites (like SwatCash) do, and actually I wouldn't trust a site that pays to unverified PayPal accounts. PayPal can stop the accounts of those sites anytime. But with NeoBux, we'll not have this problem for sure.)

NeoBux Payment Proofs #9, #10, #11 and #12
When a site pays instantly and you have lots of referrals there, it's hard to put your each payment proof as soon as you receive, because you can receive 2-3 payments a week! :)
Here are the last 4 instant payments I got from NeoBux.

Isabelmarco is Down
Edit: BEWARE! IsabelMarco does NOT pay to standard members anymore.
As you may have noticed, Isabelmarco's Moneymaker and some other sites are down since yesterday. It's because their host had to take down the servers. So, nothing to worry about, the problem should be fixed in a few days. (Or hours maybe?)
This is the official update from the host:
In the interest of keeping you updated, tonight at 5:45 p.m. here in Houston, a transformer in our H1 data in Houston caught fire, which required us to take down all generators as instructed by the fire department. All servers in the H1 data center are down, as is our ServerCommand customer portal, which are working to move to another data center.

Significant increase of ads in NeoBux!
Right now I see 14 ads in NeoBux, 2 of them are extended (those with the blue background), meaning they worth 2 cents for golden members. The ads with a "GOLDEN" badge on them are only for golden members. A feature released just 2 hours ago! By the way I got my 8th payout from Neobux.

This week's payment proofs
Edit: BEWARE! BusyClicks does NOT pay anymore! Site became ad-only.
I got my second payment from $1 Matrix System ($1.05) , third payment from Busy Clicks ($4.61), sixth ($10.05) and seventh ($10) payments from NeoBux!

$1 Matrix System
I didn't want to review this before I receive cashout but I just did receive my first cashout, so;
$1 Matrix System (workfor1dollar.com) is a brand new matrix scheme, opened mid-April. Minimum payout is $1 to Alertpay.
You pay $1, refer 9 people (get $0.25 each=$2.25), these 9 people refer another 9 each (you get $0.10x9x9=$8.1) and it continues like this 9 levels deep:
Level Amount People Income
1 $0.25 9 $2.25
2 $0.10 81 $8.10
3 $0.10 729 $72.90
4 $0.10 6561 $656.10
5 $0.10 59049 $5,904.90
6 $0.10 531441 $53,144.10
7 $0.10 4782969 $478,296.90
8 $0.10 43046721 $4,304,672.10
9 $0.25 387420489 $96,855,122.25
$1 Matrix System is forced 9 X 9 matrix, meaning if your upline has more than 9 referrals, you will get referral (spillover) from your upline. I have 4 referrals on my level1, so if you hurry up and be one of my level1 referrals, you will get some of my referrals under you.
Of course in normal circumstances it's nearly impossible to earn ~$96million, because not all of your referrals will refer 9 people each. There could not be 387million people to join this program under you anyway. But, looking objectively, earning a few thousand dollars is not much hard. For instance, if you refer 5, all of them refer 5, and this goes 6 levels deep, you get paid $9766. You pay only $1 anyway, and will break even if you refer only 4 people. What do you have to lose?
And here's the proof of payment I got from $1 Matrix System, click to view it in full size:

NeoBux introduced Jackpot!
Again, NeoBux showed that they are by far the most innovative site. Instead of starting a lousy "Raffle", they imtroduced a classy "Jackpot" now. You pay $1 from your account, select 1 of the 100 numbers. Then every number has a chance to win $20, $12, $8, $6 or $4. Click the picture to view it in full size.
Edit: The first Jackpot's tickets already sold out in 8 hours after it's launch, 5 winners take their prizes to their accounts instantly, as usual, and the second Jackpot is on!

extra10. From the admin of earn3
Yesterday, a brand new site called extra10 launched. $0.01/click, 7-10 ads a day, 100% referral earnings. It has a nice design and uses the same script as bux3, which means they will have some offers in the near future.
The site is owned by the trusted admin of earn3, who is known by his fast payouts. So, we can wait for some fast payments here too.

earn3 update + 2nd payment
As expected, the owner of Earn3 is tired of too many payout requests at $3 and increased the minimum payout to $10. But now they have 10 ads/day instead of 7-8 before. Another new feature is the Offers section where you can get paid 5-10 cents completing some offers.
By the way, I got my second payout of $3.66 in 12 days, but when you look at forums, they are still paying in 2-7 days. So I think it was a one time thing.

Isabelmarco's Moneymaker review with proofs
Edit: BEWARE! IsabelMarco does NOT pay to standard members anymore.
Isabelmarco's Moneymaker is one of the best PTCs around. They pay $0.01 per click and $0.007 (70%) per referrals' click. If you upgrade for $70/year or $9/month, you get $0.015/click + $0.01 per referrals' click. It's a little expensive but worths it.
Advertising prices are very low in Isabelmarco, from $4,5/500 views, $7/1000 views to $420/100.000 views, so I highly recommend this site for advertising your sites. And because advertising is cheap, they have 15-20 ads a day. It seems unsustainable at first look but they have many banner ads and other ads to support them financially, so I think they can sustain the site.
The payout is $9 by Alertpay and it's paid in 20 days for premium members and 40 days for normal members. Notice that it's not "businness days" like other PTCs, so if you're preimum and request your cashout on 1st day of the month, you'll get it at least on 21st of the month!
Another good feature is that the site can be viewed in 6 lnguages: English, Spanish, German, Dutch, French and Portuguese.

And, here's my payment proofs, received within 20 days each, a total of $81,07:

New contest on NeoBux
After the referral contest (by which I was paid $10 thanks to my 14th place :) ) NeoBux now (1 hour ago) started a contest for advertisers. The purchased clicks from today to May 31st at 8pm (GMT) are counted and the 5 advertisers with most purchased clicks win great prizes:
1st place: 60% more clicks + $100.00

3rd place: 40% more clicks + $50.00
4th place: 30% more clicks + $30.00
5th place: 20% more clicks + $20.00
And keep in mind that 60 sec ads will count as 2 click for each click.

SWATcash - Earn at least $2 per day.
SWATcash is a not a PTC (Paid to Click). It's a GPT (Get Paid To). You earn money completing offers, surveys, playing the online game, attacking other users, wandering around the map... Sounds interesting doesn't it? And yes, they have a PTC section too, which pays $0.01 per click and has 3-8 ads daily, but when you see other features, you'll not need its PTC section and the few cents a day will mean nothing anyway.
SWATcash is a "themed" GPT. You, as a user, are a soldier. You earn SWATcash (the currency) by doing many things and spend it to purchase guns, armors, bullets, health packs, and than you fight with other users. It's not a 1on1 fight though. Everyday, you got 1 chance to attack a random user and gain some of his SWATcash. You can also wander around on World Map and find some bullets, cash or other users' bases to attack and earn some cash doing so.
With the SWATcash you earned, you can buy some real goods too. Ipod Nano, Xbox, Play Station 3, Iphone, Wii, Mousepad are some of the goods you can buy. You can also redeem it to real cash and receive it by PayPal.
Now, let me tell you about those "at least 2 dollars." There are 2 daily surveys (namely, "circadian missions") And when you complete them, you get $1 each. So you get $2/day! And it's only the beginning! Because there are many other offers to make money, in fact, the site is based on the offers. This offers also give some "bullets" to attack other users. The only negative side here is, that most offers are US only. But they are trying to get more offers for International users. I can't review much about the offers because I'm not in the US and can't see many of them. Another section of the site is shopping, in which you can get up to 20% cashback on hundreds of online stores including Wal-Mart, GNC, Fujitsu, Avon, iTunes and many more.
The payout limit is $15, you can receive it by Check or PayPal. And the referral commision is 20%.
buxreview BONUS
If you join SWATcash as my referral, I will pay $1 to your PayPal or Alertpay, after you earn your first $10 from the offers. Just send your PayPal or Alertpay e-mail and SWATcash ID to buxreview@gmail.com.

Neobux review #2
THIS IS AN OLD REVIEW DATED MAY'08. CLICK HERE FOR THE UPDATED VERSION DATED OCTOBER'08.
I just wrote this for PTCTalk, much more detailed and formal than the other review:
Ads for clickers: (5/5)
Number of ads are usually from 4 to 15 per day. If you check very frequently, you can find 15-20 ads daily. There are 2 types of ads:
30 second ads are 1 cent, ref. earninings 0.5 cent (50%).
60 second ads are 1.5 cent, ref. earnings 1 cent (67%).
Ads for advertisers: (5/5)
30 second views: 500 ads for $9, 1000 ads for $15, 2000 ads for $29, 5000 ads for $71, 10000 ads for $140, 20000 ads for $275.
60 second views: 500 ads for $18, 1000 ads for $29, 2000 ads for $57, 5000 ads for $140, 10000 ads for $270, 20000 ads for $535.
The prices are cheaper than the average prices in the industry, but also sustainable for NeoBux because of 50%-67% referral earnings.
You buy credits and then can distribute them by your advertisements. And there is a demographic filter. The advertiser can choose up to 20 countries to show the ad, or just show it to all members.
Referrals: (4.5/5)
You get 50% for 30 second ads and 67% for 60 second ads. Referrals are not sold, they are rented. It's not implemented yet but the price will be $0.2 per referral per month. At the end of the month, you will choose which referrals to keep and pay for them for the other month. A innovative idea! Inactive referrals are replaced auromatically after 15 days of inactivity.
A unique rule here is, "Maximum_Referral_Clicks_Today = (Your_Clicks_Yesterday * 2 * Number_of_Referrals)". This means, for example, if you clicked 5 ads yesterday, and have 100 referrals, your maximum referral earnigs today is 5*2*100=1000 clicks. So you get the money for the first 1000 clicks only, for today. This will prevent users to buy/rent/refer many members and than leave the site for weeks. Everybody must click!
Premium Membership: (4.5/5)
It's called Golden Membership, costs $60 for 1 year and processed immediately when you request. You get still 1 cet from your 30 sec. ad clicks, but 60 sec. ad clicks are now 2 cents instaed of 1.5.
You get 1 cent (instead of 0.5) from referrals' clicks to 30 sec ads, and 2 cents (instead of 1 cent)
So, it increases your referral earings by 100%. You get also 10% of all purchases of your referrals. (You don't get this commision from bought/rented referrals though.)
Support: (5/5)
Very good support! The admin is almost all day long on the forum, aswering questions and even asking users their opinions about new features for the site, by placing polls mostly. The site goes i the direction which most users want.
The tickets are answered very fast. I asked 3 questions and got the answer in about 3 minutes each!
Payments: (5*/5)
This is the best part. Payments are INSTANT. You request your payment and in 5 seconds, it's in your Alertpay account! If anything happens, they guarantee to pay within 48 hours.
Minimum payout is $2 for 1st payout, $3 for 2nd, $4 for 3rd and so on until $10. Minimum payouts after your 9th payout is $10.
There will soon be a money transfer system between members.
Design: (5/5)
They designed the site from scratch, therefore it doesn't look like any other site around. It's unique.
Overall: (5/5)
NeoBux is an unique and innovative PTC and its future looks very bright. The automated system for purchases and even payouts is a service any other PTC can't give at present. It will definitely be the best PTC site shortly, if they can keep providing the same support and payment services.

NeoBux is on, and paying instantly!
Neobux opened at 8 PM (GMT) at April 30th. I accumulated my first $2.18 at 11.31 PM (GMT) at May 1st, requested, and received in my Alertpay account in seconds! Impressive!
There are 2-5 ads when you look at it in a given minute, but I looked like 20 times and managed to click a total of 25 ads in this 27 and a half hours. Even from a country like Turkey, which is not so preferable when it comes to demographic advertising. And there were only 4 sponsored ads at most, maybe less. Again, impressive!
