News :: Warning on Today's Giveaway of New Utilities

After testing this application and reading the comments from BuBBy I’ve decided to not post a review on this title, and instead post a warning. This product is unreliable and not trustworthly. At this point in its development it is not stable enough to do anything to your system.

News :: PayPerPost: Pulling Link

As you all may have noticed, I have had a ‘Review My Post’ link on the bottom of every review and post on my site for quite some time. As of this morning, it will be pulled. I will give a bit of a story run-down.

Originally I signed up with PayPerPost to see if I could find some more software titles to professionally review. After a week of signing up to be a blogger, I finally got back a message stating that I didn’t have an archive of my posts. After a bit of (extremely slow) support-tag back and forth, it pretty much boiled down to the fact that my platform is not a stock blog format (AKA WordPress or other blog platforms) and that I’d have to rebuild the entire site to make it compliant. They however suggested to get in on the ‘Review My Post’ system and that I could do that. I was a bit excited to be able to offer $7.50 to people new to PayPerPost to review my site – They paid the $7.50, and I got $7.50. After a while I had gathered a lot of clicks for PayPerPost, and a good number of sign-ups starting in July of last year. To make a long story short, they have never paid either the people who have reviewed my posts or myself a dime, stating that we have to ‘wait’. The wait has been over 6 months now for some, and I feel this is a rip-off and pulling the plug right now. I may pursue this further, but for now they are not going to get another click.

If anyone has any comments, if you have reviewed my site via PayPerPost, or even if you have a story of your own, head on over to the forums and lets discuss it.
