First of all, while you can post comments on sites of at least 50 words, you will not get paid for them unless they are at least 100 words. This change was actually made a while back, but I just haven't gotten around to writing about it until now. This is pretty easy to reach and ensures that people are giving enough detail and that they have actually used the site they're writing about. My tip: write detailed comments, then copy and paste into MS Word to make sure you have written enough.
Another update is that now you cannot cash out unless at least 25% of your earnings are from writing comments. This should not be a problem for anyone using the site legitimately. It's just a way to make sure that people are actually contributing instead of just randomly grading sites they haven't used.
Finally, owners of the sites being reviewed now have the option to write "rebuttals" to user comments. Unless you're a site owner, this won't really affect you at all. Basically, it just allows them the chance to state their side of the story.

Wow thanks for posting this! I had no idea all those changes happen. I've been really busy lately and it's been a while since I've visited them. I'm definitely going to have to update about it. Is it okay if I linked to you in my post when I described the changes? I really like the way you stated it so clear and to the point. I am going to write about it in my own words though, just will link to you for giving me the heads up about it. :) Please let me know if that's okay with you.. thanks.

Ok thanks. :) Just to let you know though, I did ask about the changes since I wanted to make sure and confirm them before I posted about them.
ReplyDelete1. I saw the rebuttal one on the blog.
2. The second change with the 50/100 comment word limit was a misunderstanding on my part. I thought if you wrote a 50 word comment, it would just be denied. I didn't know it would be approved but you just wouldn't get credit for it. So thanks for bringing that to my attention!
3. The 25% cashout earnings part I was told was there since the start of the site in the FAQ section. I guess it's not a new change but thanks again for bringing it to my attention because I never realized it before either.
I'll definitely work on that blog post soon. :)
