What is a CPT ad?

CPT stands for "Cost per Thousand-followers". You get paid a fixed fee based on the number of followers you have. You must keep a CPT ad in your Twitter timeline for at least 72 hours. You are paid after a confirmation that ad is still in your timeline 72 hours after posting. Advertisers specify the minimum number of followers and country of the Twitter accounts eligible to post their CPT ads. If you don't meet the requirements, you may not post a CPT ad. If you try to circumvent the restriction to post a CPT ad, such as using a proxy to pretend you are from a different region, you will not be paid.

CPT ads are for posting to Twitter only. You may not copy and post the ads to anywhere else. However, if you are using a RSS feed to automatically feed all your tweets in Twitter to your social network profile or to your blog, it is allowed.
