Truth is we can only believe what we know or what we are told by the powers to be.
One reason I'm pretty sure they *do* pay us whenever we do the offers right, is that not only have I almost always received credit, many others have as well.
And a *very* high number of people posting about not getting credit end up admitting elsewhere that they often sign up as Mickey Mouse and say they're an 85 year old woman.
Further, a lot of people don't finish the offer. They'll make it to a break point IE sign-up->email confirm->do second offer
And they do steps one and two.
Or clear their cookies between steps. That will kill your credit chance.
My only gripe is I would like to see someone looking into some of the Ads that are not crediting.
To some extent I agree in regards to the *pay* offers, or at least more clearly explain that they don't pay fairly often.
But like I said the free offers *are* crediting for most of us that have been around here and other GPT sites for a while.
It's more a matter of experience.
Sometimes I hit an offer page and just close the tab, and switch browsers. This is a huge issue that a lot of new people don't know about and there's no easy way to write a guide for it.
When I first started on another GPT site my offers were crediting at less than 1/3 rate. Now I have a crediting rate of about %90 here and elsewhere.
It takes time. That's all I can tell you.
I'm sure everyone knows that we are not going to make boat loads of money, but it sure does suck when some of the long, time consuming offers don't pay out. I'm sure that makes alot of people cautious and stay away from the offers you need to subscribe to/pay for.
When the admin says don't sign up for stuff you don't want without a bonus, he's not kidding. A lot of those don't pay. Consider it a very nice discount(if it pays) to something you actually want. Don't do it otherwise.
