been trying this site and i find so many things worrying about this site.
1. dunno when they will convert your answers to money in your account
2. getting nothing from creating questions which create a problem because less people are making it.
3. their login is down today.
4. their rate which is .5 cents per answers was changed without changing the terms or the facts.
5. the best answers chosen can be dragged to weeks and such.
and of course there are multiple accounts and such but this is a security problem.
and i have seen that the population is thinning. hmm this one is really peculiar
will still use this site for a week more but stop it most of these arent solved.

The rules have changed 4 times in May... Most of the times they were changed without a warning, and against the TOS the first time. The new amount given for a best answer -- it is 25 cents now -- is just good to encourage members to cheat : some were already banned for a double account and there is still double accounts there.
More, there is no limit to close a question, and if a member leave the site or is banned the question will be never closed.
This site was good when it was paying for each post, it is just good to loose your time now.

I signed up on Answerland a while ago, but the site has changed since that time. When I joined we earned money every time we answered a question, but then they changed the rules and now we only get paid if our answer is chosen as the best answer. The earnings have become very unpredictable. We don't know when the person who asked the queestion is going to choose the best answer, that could take weeks or more. Like you mentioned we don't get paid for creating questions, so many people choose to answer questions instead of creating them, and I think that is another problem about the site.

This is the first time I heard of such site. Could this be like or the same with yahoo answers? Yet I am guessing that this so called online money making are almost all the same. Giving you an enticing and alluring face to join them and scam you later on. Or some will just be good and great at first instance and when the members increase, they will stop paying you. I'm not worried about the terms and condition not being changed because they have the right to do so unless it is stipulated and specified.

First time I've ever heard of that too. I'm gonna check it out. Have you tried looking for answers else where? Like in their forums?

I have not heard of the site that you are referring to, but it sounds to me something along the lines of Yahoo Answers or Answerbag. If that is the case, you will be better off spending your time working for a site that really does pay for answering questions. ChaCha is great for that. With them, you can be a ChaCha guide and answer questions for about .10-.15 depending on the questions you get. If you need a referral, just let me know. =)
