    I'm feeling naughty, I think they need some payback mwa mwa mwa!

    Funnily enough I tried blocking javascript on a CTW site, no ads but the entry button is disabled so can't enter Grrrr

    I don't know if my logic is too simplistic, but surely of the length of time it is now taking is making people stop entering, then surely their measures are counter-productive, because they must need to prove large numbers of visits to the sites to encourage the advertisers to pay to advertise with them. Therefore less visitors = less revenue.

    It's ironic isn't it. They encourage you to enter as many as you can every day but they now make it very difficult to do so.

    Yes. But perhaps if the number of visitors drop drastically, they will rethink their strategy if they realise what is driving people away.

    Arghhhh, so tired of watching that woman shave her arms!
  • Hi,

    I am a new comer comer to click and wins, only being doing them for a few months, after seeking extra comps to do daily, although they are relatively slow to work through, would you mind me asking how many you entered daily and your win ratio, so as to give me a bit of impetuous to carry on clicking!
    Thank you

    Mike

    I used to be a big advocate of the C2W's 'cause I generally did quite well with them but starting to give up on them a bit now.

    They've just added some new comps that run until December 26th / 31st ... that's like 4 months for a pretty crappy prize (£50 Boots or £50 Ikea voucher) ... It's just not worth it, they're taking the mick a bit.

    You're better off doing surveys on Populus Live or something, at least then you know you're guaranteed to get £50 in 4 months.

    Totally agree survey's are guaranteed money either in vouchers or amazon/paypal credit comps are hopes of winning.

    I am now boycotting KFC. You may force me to watch your rubbish ad 10 times in a row with no option to mute or skip, but you cannot force me to buy your dry stringy chicken!

    I haven't seen a KFC one I don't think.
    I keep getting the Braun - Woman shaving her arms, a Gas safety thing and a Breitling thing and a cake / biscuit making one ... not noticed a KFC one
