So many people start discussions about sites they think are so great and I know from personal experience that they are not because I have tried them. I never know if I should tell them of my experiences or not because everyone is different and goes about things in different ways. Who knows what doesn't work for me might work for someone else right? Do you tell members that the site they think is good isn't? Have you ever had negative feedback for doing it?

i sometimes do, but it just depends. i dont' have a lot of experiance on many sites. one i sometimes will say something is when people promote awsurveys. i wont' say right out it is a scam because i've seen people write on here that they got paid. but there are just as many that said it was a scam. i had signed up under them and then all the sudden my account didn't exist anymore. so sometimes will warn people of that. i've never got negative feedback. i think if you just present your reason why you think the site is bad, they shouldn't give you negative feedback for that.

I also joined awsurveys and believe it's a scam. They start you out making a lot of money and that's the end you don't hear from them again so what's that about? I check the site often and there are never any surveys so I chalk it up to being a scam site.

Yes, I always tell people about my experiences, good or bad. I don't want others to get scammed.

I will usually post and tell people my experience with a site. I let them know the good and the bad. I usually also add it's up to them whether or not if they want to try it. I know I've been with a few sites I wish I had been warned about before hand. I would hate to see anyone get scammed especially if there is a chance I could prevent it.

i have logged in to many new sites this month and i need referrals to earn more, but i am not doing it because i want to earn first then only i can belive this works. When iam satisfied then, other will also earns. Only then i will reffer or tell people that this site is really a goood site. i really request you to share this because many people like me really want to know which site is good or bad. I am here to earn money so that i can give my family a good future, so i cant afford to lose time on bad sites.

I definetly give my opinion. If they still want to use the site thats up to them. Hopefully they wouldnt get mad at me for just giving my opinion. I would never try to force my opinion on anyone.

I always tell othters about the make extra money and talk with them so that we all can know more things about it and we can do better on it.So I think the experiences is very important.

I give my honest experience. If you need a ton of referrals I tell them or if it is really slow I will tell. I am more apt to start a discussion about sites that I have had good luck with though.

I think you should tell people of your negative experiences with sites how else, other than experiencing it themselves, will they find out? Just be sure to note that there is the possiblity that it's "in your case" and "may not apply to everyone". If other users rate you negatively for your statements, than they are in the wrong. One should not be negatively rated for stating their experiences, as long as it's the truth.

If you have tried a site and you know that it is not a good one, then I think that putting your opinion is not a bad thing, I know myself that some sites work for some but not for others, but putting your opinion in the way of "well I tried it and it did not work for me" is a fair comment and is not making anyone out to be wrong about what they say about a site.

yes I do tell members that some sites I have beenon are not good at all. and yes sometimes they resent that but hey the truth is the truth. And sometimes I have saved someone a lot of trouble for telling the truth. so am not sorry to have done so.

I am new to mylot but not to earning $ online. I have been interested in what others have done that has proved to be effective. It may be that your experience with a site is different than that of others. Based on your comment, I assume you have found some things to be successful and some not so successful Which online adventures have been most successful for you? TheSoccerdad -Marvin

If there is a discussions going on about a site, I always appreciate all information, good or bad. I saw where one site was a scam, but it works for me. I also saw the opposite where everyone praised one and I quit it because I didn't think it was worth it. I just filter it as I would all information, as individual opinions.
