Traffic exchange vs PTC: what’s the difference?

Traffic exchange: advertising exposure

A TE primarily connects members who want their pages viewed. Qualifying surfing earns advertising credits, which are used within that exchange to deliver exposure. Some exchanges offer additional rewards, but those follow their own rules.

PTC: a paid viewing task

Paid-to-click services present advertiser tasks with their own reward and qualification conditions. A task may require opening a page, waiting, and confirming the view. A displayed reward, an account balance and a withdrawable balance may be different states. Read the service’s terms before assuming a click produces money you can immediately withdraw.

Colossari: a game across participating exchanges

Colossari receives qualifying activity from connected exchanges and turns it into strikes on a shared colossus. Its funded events may award cash or exchange credits; other features award game progression or temporarily improve damage. There is no universal cash payment for every page viewed.

A quick comparison

• TE credit: advertising value governed by the exchange.
• PTC reward: a service-specific viewing-task reward.
• Colossari damage: contribution to the current hunt.
• Ichor: Colossari progression currency, separate from cash.
• Event winnings: rewards governed by the particular funded event.
