Conclusion:

This is a legitimate company and pays bloggers to write for their different sites. However, you have to earn votes on your articles in order to be paid by this company. The company pays one blogger each day and moves his blog post to the top post section of the site. All other bloggers are not paid. However, if you didn’t make the top post section today, there are no new blog posts added tomorrow, you’ll have a chance to be paid tomorrow if your post is moved to the top post section.

My Thoughts About this Site:

1. I’ve written for Goodblogs for a number of years and was always paid by the company when my post was promoted to the paid section.
2. What I don’t like about this company, is the fact that too many of the writers cheat to earn votes.
3. This is a democratic voting system and you need to work hard to promote your work.
4. If you can’t earn enough votes on your blog post, you’re not paid for your work.
5. The company receives 15 to 20 new articles each day. It takes them over 72 hours to decide if they will post your article on the site or not.
6. The site continues to reject articles because of the image you’ve selected.
7. The site doesn’t have any rules to follow when selecting your image.
8. You could resubmit one article 5 or 6 times because the editor didn’t like your image.
9. In the beginning, it was easy to write for the site and earn from the articles you’ve written. However, today too many young bloggers have joined the site and found ways to get around their voting system. It’s impossible to compete with the new wave of bloggers. Normally, these bloggers find ways to earn 40 to 60 votes for each article they’ve written.
10. The site tries its best to control the cheating and has implemented new rules for the site. Today, you need a Google or Facebook account to register, write, and vote on the site.
11. The company relays on the computer program to verify IP address, votes and promoting the posts to the paid section of the site. This is unfair to many writers on the site because it doesn’t guarantee that members on the site aren’t cheating.
