BeenPaid is a site that gives awards to a site that proved to pay, there are three levels of awards, namely Platinum, Gold, and Diamond. But do you believe in a site that have BeenPaid Seal of Approval? I mean do you believe that site will pay you? Because not all sites that have BeenPaid Seal of Approval pay all their member, there are some sites that are still in doubt as InfinityBux that get BeenPaid Gold Seal of Approval, but some sources say that InfinityBux not pay all of its members.

I would not believe in it since they may have been brided or something of sort to make sure they give a good rating to bad website or scams. It is better to search legite websites on the internet instead.

Thanks for creating this topic, I didn't give much attention to BeenPaid site and its purpose before. I just checked BeenPaid's Seal of Approval page and came to know the meaning of every level of those 3 different awards: Gold is for sites that are online for less than 1 year, Platinum is for those online for more than 1 year, Diamond is for sites online for 2 years or longer. Do I believe in any site within BeenPaid's Seal of Approval list? After reading BeenPaid's requirements to apply for its awards (http://www.beenpaid.com/award/requirements.php ), I can say that I have 70% trust in sites with Gold seals, 80% trust in sites with Platinum seals and 99% trust in sites with Diamond seals. There's however no guarantee that any sites with BeenPaid's seal of approval will not turn to scam sites. Even a site with Diamond seal like MatrixMails might turns in to scam site anytime (though I doubt it will be one in near time period).

Well It sure is much better than 3-4 years ago when you were going to site without having any proof :) Though I quitted of the sites and kept 1-2 sites only (including mylot ;))

Yes. BennPaid and GptBoycott are working together in finding scams and genuine sites. Eventhough if a site stops paying, it will take some time to be removed from the BeenPaid site. They will start investigating only after they receive a sufficient number of complaints. (Probably people who are complaining about InfinityBux might not have complained to Beenpaid.)

One thing for sure is I believe BeenPaid more than JustBeenPaid :P. Their reviews and seals surely helps me to consider the legitimate of a site. But I wouldn't blindly believe all things that they had done or said. I will prefer to search more reviews throughout internet as well.
