    Yes it's worth the money, I've had about £450 paid out from Quidco already and haven't exactly done a lot of shopping. I switched gas & leccy, switched home insurance, opened a new bank account and played some bingo... Et Voila - loadsa money!!

    Doing the Daily Clicks earned Eagerlearner over £300 last year, I reckon that's worth 20 minutes of my (probably) otherwise wasted time each day.


    I really hope so, I really need some more money!!:rolleyes:
  • I'm still not understanding the daily clicks despite having read most of the threads. I am on Quido co and have registered for most of the sites to receive the money back but once I'm registered how can I do clicks daily to earn more? Please help!!!!

    PS I'm really new to this so I'm really sorry!
  • send a pm to EagerLearner and she will send you a guide :D

    The daily clicks are increasingly getting to be a waste of time the days of making it worth doing are just about gone, most of the affilate sites that do pay and lowering there rates.

    I have done it for years admittedly I don't use every site, however looking at some of them the payouts are much lower now than say 6 months ago. So it will take you 3-4 times more to get the same amount.

    I don't do them now as its just isnt worth my time. Even Quidco who I believe paid 10p for kelkoo at one time is now 2p

    I use the cashback sites primarily for shopping and insurance etc

    I think whats happened is that firstly the whole cash back site thing has become very popular with a lot out there to choose from. To add to that the daily clicking i think has become more popular. Put that with more cash back sites offering it, and the market becomes flooded.

    Places like kelkoo, dealtime (shopping.com) that you could earn to click on have either reduced the amount they pay per click to the cash back sites, or have decided to pull out of it completely.

    They earn by people buying products from using their search facilities. The thing is with the daily clicks I doubt too many people are actually buying. Therefore its costing the companies to pay people to look at their site that have no intention of buying. I expect to begin with the level of clicks, versus the level of sales probably made it worth their while.
    Now with so many cash back sites, and likely an influx of the daily clickers, its no longer profitable for them.

    I hope the market picks up again for the clicks, but to be honest I doubt it will.

    Remember for 99% of sites the money they offer you is at least half what they are being paid by the company. So if kelkoo now only offer the company 2p per click, we'll only see 1p of it.
  • Trace I think you are right, I think if it becomes 'known' that people are doing daily clicks just to make money without purchasing then the companies will get wind of it and act accordingly - maybe we should delete this thread? :D :rolleyes:

    I also think that companies are cutting back given the uncertain future and or many of us are wised up and dont buy from the price comparisons sites but woudl rather follow through to buy goods via the cashback site own links to the merchant so we keep the money rather than say Kelkoo, shopping.com

    I also think they these comparison sites arent entirely the best sites to look for the best possible price, and should only be used as a guide.
