The Bottom Line
If they can make their pay bar more user friendly, and even pay their people, then give them a shot, but until then, sign up for ePipo.

| Full Review |
For those of you who don't already know me, my name is Adrienne and I recently started working online, from my home.
I began my home based business, to supplement my income, by running pay bars and various online activities. Soon, I was receiving more money from my online adventures, than I was working at my job. My epinions focus on different, work-at-home programs and my opinion of them.
Since I began working at home, I too have been hit by the crunch. I have seen a lot of businesses not pay, and some have even gone out of business, like AllAdvantage. Who would have thought, it took me by surprise. Luckily, I don't rely on one program for income. My success and failures, with certain programs have been based on volume, in some cases, with the exception of Clickdough, where even volume didn't help.
Clickdough, has struggled since it's inception for one reason or another. I remember at one time, Clickdough changed it's name to MoveAbout. Them About.com didn't pay, Clickdough couldn't pay us, and, they changed their name back from MoveaAbout, to Clickdough, and have cut their payouts drastically, when in fact, and if they pay at all.
Unlike ePipo (see my review on ePipo)and several other popular pay bar programs, ClickDough does not require you to download a Pay Bar. Instead, you must log on to the ClickDough web site to start their Pay Bar. This in itself makes Clickdough kind of needy in it's own way, since I have all of my other pay bars conveniently located on my Desktop Toolbar.
In the beginning, and I have been a member for over two years, Clickdough seemed promising, they soon began offering Premium rates, to those of us who became a Premium member, they promised 20 cents an hour. Of, course, they can't pay us, if they don't get paid, but I have 23 referrals, and nothing to show for it. I still have less than 50 cents in my account.
If you are going to use ClickDough, become a Premium member. Currently, they pay 2 cents an hour. For the first 2 hours logged each day, up to 62 hours you will earn Premium member rates.
Click Dough does not pay very well right now, and it is quite annoying, I keep my account active in the hope that earnings will increase, because they honestly seem to be trying to stay afloat, only time will tell.
Due to their determination to try to pay their members, I appreciate them. However, I am not going to suffer their financial difficulties with them. Been there, done that, but I wouldn't throw in the towel on them yet. Only if your eyes can stand their Pay Bar.
Their pay bar requires that it run on top of your browser. This means its a total hassle, because you constantly have to click on it to activate it. And it's not like you can miss it, it constantly blinks, making even writing e-mail annoying.
Because of the annoying pay bar, and total lack of reward, I just can't recommend them.
