When you say "click 3 ads" are you talking about the daily PTC? If so, then you need to click 4 different sections for a total of 3 minutes, plus a sponsor ad plus other stuff to redeem. On the left side, there is a box that tells you your progress... It first starts off with a countdown timer for the 3-minute countdown. Read through the instructions carefully... I know it took me a few days to figure that section out, but once you do, it'll be easy to repeat everyday.
The daily surveys only credit when you "qualify and complete" a survey... In the on-line survey world, there are usually some general questions in the beginning. These are qualifying questions, asked to see if you fit the demographic characteristics that they are looking for. Some of these are general demographic questions (age, race, salary, etc.), others are more specific to the survey itself (eg do you consume alcohol, how often do you watch movies in a theater, which brands of cereal have you heard of, etc.). If your answers fit the demographic that they are looking for, then you have qualified to take the survey. Then the questions become even more specific, like "Read through this ad for a new burger that Acme Fast-Food is thinking of offering. How likely are you to purchase this the next time you visit Acme Fast-Food" Once you have answered all of those questions, then you have "completed" the survey. You are not always guaranteed to qualify and complete a survey; the survey site will keep trying to see if you qualify for any open surveys, but they may eventually run out of any that you'd qualify for... I know there are some days that it seems like I keep answering question after question in the pre-qualifying sections of the surveys but never actually qualify for any.
