Full Review / Site History

BuxVilla at first sight might remind you of mybux.co . When I first received this site on our Request page I noticed the term "mybux" in the terms. Come to find out the site is using the same script and it is being sold on other forums. Despite that this site might not have any connection to mybux.co, I would like to remind readers how that site ended. Site paid for about 6 months and all the sudden without notice the site closed. Just keep this in mind if you are thinking about investing into this new site.

 Here re the pros and cons of this site:

PROS:

1. Forum - This site does have a forum. Forums are great for communication between members and staff. Members can post payment proofs, get support, and stay up to date on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here: http://forum.buxvilla.com/

Twitter: http://twitter.com/BuxVilla

FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com...

3. Instant Payments - Just like mybux.co, site says it pays on Mondays instantly. A great option for any site to have. No more waiting days or weeks for something you rightfully earned.

CONS:

1. Non-Payments - Cashout issues for weeks and not a single person has posted proof on the forum that they have been paid.

2. Abandoned - Admin hasn't been active since August 3, 2011. It is now August 12, 2011 (at time of udpate).

3. New Site - We do not recommend investing or buying upgrades on new sites. For at least 6 months, if not a year. If you can't wait that long, at least test and get paid first before you decide to invest.

The main reason why we see this as a downside is due to the large number of new sites that go through many sudden changes during their first 6 months. Changes anywhere from rates per click, payment processor issues (paypal limitations), and payment wait times. New sites notorious for changing their terms. Why we do not recommend investing on new sites.

4. A "Bux" Site - This type of ptc has a very high fail rate. Most "bux" sites go scam under 6 months, if not within a year. Most rely on upgrades and rental purchases rather than actual advertisers. A typical "bux" site will show fixed/self-sponsored ads, sell rentals, and have a higher rate per click. This type of business model is not very successful and unsustainable, which is probably why most "bux" sites fail.

BuxVilla is a poorly managed site. No one has been paid due to cashout errors and the site has problems with their ads. Site will remain on the Scam List till these problems are fixed.

We will continue to monitor this site. If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so in our comment section at the end of this review.
