Maxbounty - A scam or not?

Maxbounty are a major affiliate and banner network, whilst many people seem to do quite well from it, others are reporting enormous losses and that the company fail to pay or find a way out. Of course the people who are doing well out of it, support it with an unhealthy passion which sort of poses the question that if a company scams one person but treats another one well, how can it be considered a scam.

Obviously Maxbounty also have to protect their earnings and with a lot of people using black hat methods and driving fraudulent traffic to their sites, they need to look closesly at the clicks received. It seems to me to be a case of everyone trying to scam each other and some genuine users losing out in the process.

Look at other options and if you still decide you like the look of Maxbounty, then go ahead but proceed with caution!

GoDaddy discount code - saving is making

I've decided that I will regularly post godaddy discount codes, these tend to vary and they are also updated quite often, sometimes you can get 10% off, sometimes more, sometimes you can pick up a domain name for no more than $2, either way if you are trying to make money on the web and you need some of their services, the chances are that the codes will come in handy. Here's one of the most recent ones:

Type the promo code "gdr0723pl" at checkout and you will be given $15 off on any order of $75 or more.

Review Stream - A review site with a difference

Reviewstream.com seems to be coming in for some bad stick, I was recommended to it by a fellow dooyooer and appreciated the advice. Reviewstream works in a similar way to dooyoo but both its interface and the way it works is quite a bit different. First of all, unlike on Igougo and Ciao, you can't simply copy over your review that you've used there. That's not to say that you can't write about the same product that you have done on here but it has to be original work.

Next up, the layout of the website is pretty scrappy and unlike here where you have a given username, there you have a temporary pen name and an e-mail address which is tied to the review.

It's a common mistake to assume that all review sites want the same material but just because reviewstrea say they accept reviews on everything from Paris to your grandmother's cat, it doesn't mean they'll pay well for it. In my experience - reviews of around 300 words or more of things like restaurants, hotels and airlines will earn you the $2 a review. Reviewstream.com can reject your review if they don't want it or find that it's not specific enough and they may also pay you the bulk rate which is usually $0.40 - if they do want it but it's not as good as they'd like.

Once you've reached the $50 limit, you receive payment - I've not got that far yet but I hear they pay relatively quickly.

I like the facility where you can check the progress of your review by typing in your e-mail address. With a little bit of practice, it's easy to find out what sort of reviews float their boat and make a tidy profit from the site. The payment status is updated usually within 72 working hours since the submission of the review, although in my experience they don't always keep to their promise.
