Bux sites, no matter how professional looking it is...

Greed is the main ingredient that motivates another person consumed by greed to do this. Basically, a greedy person sets up a cheap "Bux" clone site. Forge some convincing payment proof then claim payments even on the very first day. O.o Fill the list of advertisements with a line of self-sponsored ads then wait for people searching ways to earn online. Once the site has got a nice mass of members, the so-called "referral sale" starts. It's just a matter of very simple common sense to not fall for bux sites. If a bux site offered referral sale then, it's a very good indication that this site is definitely unstable even if they say so. If you click an ad, you commonly get a cent for it, then your premium upline gets a cent for it, now that makes 2 cents worth of advertising money. Which is really unstable with a low advertising rate of let's say just $10.00 for 1000 guaranteed views. If I see a site like this, I won't bother to join it. I don't think that anyone would be crazy enough to accept an advertising service in which he/she won't get any profits from unless admin does not really intend to share the ad revenue to its members. Take Bux.to as a very good example. Ever got the slightest Idea why with all the money bux.to receive, it takes a freaking 6 months for you to get your petty $10.00 payout? With all the money bux.to gets, I don't think that there's a good reason for bux.to, to not invest in a better system of payment. Obviously, it gets its money mostly from referral pack revenues, premium account fee revenues, and of course not that much from ad pack revenues; since I've observed that this site has ended up to be a form of ponzi, pyramiding in short. Currently, bux.to is worth around $3mn...believe it or not. And if you have read this, I think it's time to stop believing in bux-sites.

Quite right. That is true of a big number of sites on the Net. However, you and I can make some money out of them if you know how to do it and also understand that they are ponzi schemes and won't last forever. The trick is not to put too much money in yourself. With Bux sites I never upgrade and never buy referrals - I get my own refs. With HYIP sites I put in the minimum, usually $1, and again get my own referrals and earn from their deposits. What I do say to my refs is that they must get out early and not be too greedy.

ever heard of the story, "The Shepherd's Boy and the Wolf" This applies to bux sites and I don't think that I'm going to join bux sites again,
