Even though it wasn't an official announcement, ever since the 1st of September, all free users are allowed to surf less sites and receive less hits for their sites. Why? Because upgraded members receive priority, which is only natural in a way. The problem is now, as a free user you can't even get to 200 sites/day and your sites , if they are geographical oriented receive 100-200 hits/day, depending on the region. You are not told directly about the change, but rather receive subtle hints like : "No site are currently available[...]Premium members get unlimited surfing option..." I am a bit bothered by their change of marketing approach, but what i truly am sad about is they didn't come out in the open and announced directly : benefits for free/upgraded members changed from this to this. So , truth be told I am a bit dissapointed by their team. It's a great site but they should be a bit more open to the public and publicly announce the changes, especially such big ones. What do you think of this change they made? Will it make you upgrade, or leave the site? Do you think it was a good marketing move, or are they gonna loose users on this one?

it's freakin' annoying. i don't know if they can keep this up for long without members going inactive or deleting accounts etc. i mean i might upgrade if it cost me like 2 bucks, but it's like 8 dollars for 1 MONTH! it's not worth it. maybe if i can sit in front on the computer and do NOTHING else but surfing on the site..

I am a member there too and i don`t mind if i surf only 200 sites each day .I had days when i surfed more and i had days when i surfed less but the number is around 200 so this means you will earn 30 cents every 5 days which is not so bad for a traffic exchange.

Hello iuliuxd! Yes, even so, the money you earn is good, but the problem wasn't regarding the earnings but rather the communication between the team and the users. If they are to make big changes like these, they should announce like they do with the good news. In a way i think they feel they took a dive in the unknown with this and are trying to minimize the losses by letting people know gradually or learn on their own of the change. It's this certain attitude i'm bothered by more like the change itself. Good luck with your earnings!

Reyachan that happens on every website.So far the only website where i`ve found a good comunication was CashNhits,i talked with the admin a lot through e-mail and he is a nice guy.But every one of these websites will treat the standard user the same way because they don`t care too much about you.If you give up but you have a good downline they will sell your referrals,if you don`t have any it doesn`t matter for them anyway .

It is really a great site and a friend here marguicha refered me to the site . At the moment I am neither going to leave nor upgrade . Will wait and see and then decide . I agree they should uphold transparency and not conceal things . Thanks for the information friend .

No problem :) I'm glad if i was of help to you with this info. Your neutral position is a good choice in a way. Time will tell what will happen but so far i heard of a few rage quits among my friends. Funny thing is they used to upgrade from time to time when they knew they had a bit more time/need to surf. But now they feel they've been stripped of that choice

back to the fact that "Free Member is not FREE"
