Paid To Click is an online business model that draws online traffic from people aiming to earn from home. Paid-To-Click, or simply PTC websites act as middlemen between advertisers and consumers; the advertiser pays for displaying ads on the PTC website, and a part of this payment goes to the viewer when he views the advertisement.
Paid To Click （点击赚钱）是一种在线业务模式，从那些想在家里通过上网赚钱的人们那里获取流量。 Paid-To-Click（PTC）网站作为广告商和广告客户的中间人；广告商出钱在PTC网站上展示广告，而这些钱的一部分作为点击广告的用户的收入。

The viability of the PTC business model has been questioned, as fraudulent clicks have ramped up the expenses for advertisers.[1] With lawsuits filed against the internet search companies, the burden has been placed on Google, Yahoo and others to determine the valid clicks from the fraudulent ones,[2] although PTC site may just be used as advertising, to direct traffic to one’s site. Moreover, many users registered in PTC websites are bots.
PTC商业模式的生存能力已经被人们质疑，因为欺骗性的点击增加了广告商的成本。随着对搜索引擎公司的诉讼，判定欺骗性点击的的责任已经成为了google,yahoo和其他搜索引擎公司的负担，尽管PTC网站可能只是用来下广告以及增加网站的直接流量，但是注册PTC网站的用户中仍然有好多是机器人。

Even though advertisement is the most widely known method for PTC to stay alive, most of the profit comes from the direct sales of fake referrals which are created virtually by the PTC owner at his will. To cover up all this scheme, PTC owners inject some normal ads from fictional advertisers, thereby keeping the system running smoothly.
尽管广告是PTC网站言广为人知的赖以生存的方式，但是绝大部分的收入是来自于欺骗性的下线销售额，这些下线实际是PTC网站根据自己的意愿制造出来的。为了掩盖这一切计划，PTC网站制造了一些正常的广告，这些广告来自于虚拟的广告商，因此使整个系统运行正常。(天天成长的博客注：我不知道这些是还属实，但既然是在http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paid_To_Click上看到的，应该是有一些根据的，但是我自己认为，应该有正常的PTC网站存在，不然这种商业模式肯定已经不存在了)

Some PTCs are also used to mimic mass human traffic, which can help a botnet stay undercover and perform click fraud activity in second and third-tier ad networks. Many PTC owners also pollute the ads with malware and botnet rootkits.

Scams, although exposed on various PTC forums, are still heavily used by newcomers who are drawn in to the websites by search engines. Scam PTC sites are known to attract new users with cheap offers for upgrades and referrals and disappear without trace after a short time.[citation needed]
