Clixsense, Neobux, Crowdflower 2017 Thread

I think there's no doubt it's a negative change for most members.
In some ways you can understand them at least making changes to the PTC ads since they're not profitable for the site, but I'm surprised they can't rectify that by changing the cost to advertisers, or the link values or referral percentages on them.

One thing that really bugs me though is Jim saying in the forum that Clixsense is still "extremely profitable". So why the need to make changes that negatively affect most members?
He seems like a generally decent guy, but sounds like they've only got their own profits in mind here, and have decided they can further enhance them even if x number of people leave.

I received my $8 from them today. It's going to take me a long time to get to $10 without the ptc, etc. The surveys pretty much DQ me every time and I don't really do the tasks. Seems like this is the way for a lot of these sites now. I've done well with clixsense over the years too. Such a shame

Kantankrus Mare ~ I hope you get your money back. I know they stopped doing paypal just as you took out premium membership.

Ok That was funny. No sooner had I just written the above piece, a new message from CS appears lol

"Update to changes - July 2nd
2 Jul 2017 06:13 pm
Members, after hearing from many of you and your concerns for the new checklist bonus commission, we have listened to your concerns and have decided to adjust the checklist bonus to 16% for everyone, similar to what we have now for our premium accounts. (12% Regular Bonus + 2% Activity Bonus + 2% ClixAddon Bonus). In other words, everyone's accounts will be equivalent to the current premium status and more.

The 20% affiliate commission will be unchanged.

Also, because July 15th falls on a weekend, we'd prefer to have the change on a weekday, so the changes will not be effective until Monday July 17th.

Also some of you had some very good questions and I would like to address those now.

I have an advertising campaign setup that is linked to the ClixGrid page. What will happen to this once you make this change?


We will redirect this to our homepage. This will happen for any page that we removed.

I have sticky ads running that are not set to expire until after the change, what will happen to these?


We will stop all PTC ads, ClixGrid ads and sticky ads and prorate a refund of any remaining ad credits or sticky ads.

I purchased an upgrade for one of my referrals. When you cancel all upgrades, will the referral get the money or will I get it?


All refunds on upgrade purchases will be made back to the person who made the purchase. So, if you purchased an upgrade for your referral, then you will be credited back the balance of that upgrade.

Now that you have stopped selling ad credits and ClixGrid, what happens to these requirement for the checklist bonus?


We have removed the PTC and ClixGrid option from the checklist bonus so that is no longer required. Also, 1 cent offers from the offerwalls are excluded from the checklist bonus. If you look at the checklist bonus you will now see that PTC and ClixGrid are no longer required.

Will you have new advertising banners for us to promote with?


Yes we will have new banners created in time for our change on July 17th.

That is all for now. We appreciate your input and look forward to showing you the all new ClixSense.

Thank you"


Seems pressure from members has made them rethink a few things. Including what I was worried about, the lesser % bonus which will now be kept at the old Premium rate of 16% ( Im sure it used to be 18 anyone?..)

I have just completed the first new layout of daily checklist and engageme worked as one of offers.

Usually leave it running for a while but it wasnt playing ball this morning and the counter moved up just enough to give what I needed for an offer.

The only good thing about new checklist is that it will be so much quicker. The clixgrid really bored me. Will have to see how long it takes to reach $10 to see if is worth carrying on with. I only really do the market research jobs on the tasks as they are quick and easy and the occasional survey they put on there.

shame PTC ads are going, as although boring (I would use ipad for other things same time as them and clixgrid) I have been a member since May2013 and earned $134 from them and $24.60 from clixgrid. So would get a few dollars a month just from them so they did add up to a nice boost of the amount

I also don't task as much as I used to, just pick the easier tasks. Surveys are still worthwhile though for me.
