ClixSense was established in February of 2007. It works flawlessly ever since to great joy of many money makers and advertisers, and it was redesigned in 2011. It was not only an improvement of the look out but also provides higher earning possibilities now. The lookout of the site is neat and in spite of the many options this site has, it is very easy to use. I’d say ClixSense has the best script I ever seen for a PTC site.
The signing up process is somewhat more complex than in other sites.
Click the SIGN UP NOW button then fill in the form on the next page. Your country is detected, the empty fields must be filled.
There are four check boxes, the first is that you agree ClixSense’s ToS, that must be checked (only if you agree, of course). The other tree check boxes are for to show or hide your real name, e-mail address. It’s your choice, check what you want.
Choose your payment method, your log-in data, and a secret question. Don’t worry, everything can be changed later. When everything is in place, click the Create Account button. Next you’ll receive a welcome e-mail that contains an activation link. Click that link, then you can log-in to your account.
It is clear at the first glance that the site of ClixSense is a top-notch. It provides detailed information in every aspect of the site. You can see your up-line and your down-line. Any piece of information you’d ever need regarding ClixSense you’ll find browsing its site.
Clicking the Ads
Clicking the ads is not compulsory on ClixSense. You earn a commisssion from your referrals even if you don’t click the adverts. To click the available ads simply click the View Ads button. There are four types of advertisements at ClixSense:
Micro – $0.001 / 3sec
Mini – $0.003 / 10sec
Standard – $0.01 / 30sec
Extended – $0.02 / 60 sec
It is highly recommended to check the sites several times a day, there might be new ads to click.
ClixSense has a tool-bar, which is highly customizable according to your needs. Its main feature is that it shows your balance and the available ads in real time. You can’t miss any ad with this tool-bar.
After the ad link is clicked a Captcha tool appears. There are 5 pictures, 4 dogs and 1 cat. Find the cat and click it. ClixSense implemented this cheat-checker to filter the cheaters and auto-clickers to prevent them to abuse the system. The cheat checker occurs every time when an ad link is clicked. There’s no picture challenge for the ClixGrid. Another new feature implemented by ClixSense, that makes happy the advertisers is that the you have to keep the ad page on focus. Minimizing the tab/window with the current advertisement running makes the timer to stop. So users must literally watch the ads they are paid for. This happens with every browser, except Google’s Chrome or Chromium. For some reason in those browsers the timer keeps running even the ad page is minimized.
ClixSense offers another way of earning: ClixGrid. Going there you find a grid where you can click in the hope of finding a prize. The prize can be $0.10 – $5. Here’s a snapshot of a page with a prize of $1.
There’s no any ClixGrid strategy or tactics to win more money. The rule is simple: the more you click the higher your chances to win money. Take a look how ClixGrid looks like.

In this case you will not receive the $2 comission for your referral’s upgrade, for this reason the price is $2 lower.
Referrals
At ClixSense there are no referrals for sale or rent. You can rely only on your Direct Referrals. Try to find as many as you can. As you can see your Direct Referrals’ ID, you can promote their referral links, as well. This is good for your referral, and for you. Giving referrals to your referrals you keep them motivated, on the same token, if you are upgraded, you earn commissions from your referrals 8-level deep.
At ClixSense there’s no need to click your own ads to receive the commission for your referals’ clicks.
ClixSense Tasks
There are small jobs available to complete on ClixSense, called Tasks. These are a set of instructions (Google search, categorize videos, images, find URLs, etc) you have to follow in order to receive the money for your job.
