Helium died way before adblocker. So I guess their exit definitely helped the owners. As you know it’s hard to make money from ads now. So it’s really a trouble to see how many sites these days are going to pay. Afterall, we can’t see sites surviving despite having adblocker.

There were so many sites; and a great deal of quality items were published.  The quality kept Factoidz and Helium alive.  They had many hits.  Writing on Blogjob and not being paid is ridiculous.  It hasn’t starting paying yet, and it has been a long time… I think a year…

@PEEUSH TRIKHA ,Mykites was down two months ago and I have $15 there which they did not send to my Pay Pal karma to that site. There were 6 of us redeeming payment of our works, so sad, it just went down. That site likes the writers to buy products from those whcih they are the agents.Many including me opposed.They might get angry and after few…[Read more]

Helium was another site.  In this one, you had to write on a set topic.   After you wrote your item would be ‘judged’ in comparison to other items on the same topic.  To submit an item one had to judge other items…

It was a ridiculous site which lasted way too long.   I  used it for ideas.   Often, if I had writer’s block I’d log onto Heliu…[Read more]

@kaylar, There were almost 500 writing and paying sites closed, meaning weak and lack capital.But BlogJob is still showing its resurrections.We can still open our site and interact some those who happen to be on line. There is one blogger there she is blogging and discussing daily about her daily beliefs hehehehehe, that seems insanity posting…[Read more]

One has to be alert.  When one sees a manipulation or a trick, they have to know what to do.  When a site is in America then one can contact a law enforcement agency which will shut them down.  With Bubblews, the two thieves who ran that one lived in America so they were a few steps from jail cell when they were shut down.

Like Quac, the Fa…[Read more]

What was the worst part was when he dropped one to ‘member’ the article was earning.   He was pocketing the money.  So you could see your article earning… but he would keep your money.

Yes so disappointed with that site, at least pay first what they owe us

that’s great to know, yeah now i remember

@eagletrek2 and @peachpurple that’s bad. Even if mykites had to close down, they ought to have done it in a proper and professional manner.

I have seen Squidoo, Bubblews, Niume, Tinycent fall. Niume and Tinycent turned out to be so scammy that they manipulated views. Same with bubblews. Some people got paid so it remained hanging case. I miss squidoo, it was good income source. As good as the real job itself.

Fall of these sites made me think that after I earn some specific amount…[Read more]

@HappSingh I am ptrikha_2 on mylot.

And I think we have interacted there as well.

I have not been there after I redeem. Mykites did not pay me. I redeem in Oct last year. Till today, no payment

To Tracy and Mahesh, you might try IPSOS. It is a nice survey site and the payoff is just $1.00. Most of the surveys are not too long and they have a nice reward system. Another survey website that you might try is mylot. It is like Facebook but better. You get paid for posting your thoughts and sharing it as well. I, highly, recommend it. It is…[Read more]

For me mykites owe me $20.00 the first time they pay me it took six month for them to pay me. I was ready to copy my post on my kite and then delete my account over there. But they shut down before I can do that . I found this site from some one on my lot mu user name on most of my writing sites is eagledoingit 2   on other sites it eagletrek 2 . 

@kaylar I was at Factoidz for a long time and liked the way it kept our articles on SEO valuation and paid bonus. Then what they required us to keep sharing others’ posts and all was exciting as well encouraging but later the site lost its value and interest of almost everyone. The worst thing is that you cannot remove your posts from that site.

To get the ball rolling I want to discuss a site that went down perhaps ten years ago.  A site called Factoidz.

If you get on the wayback machine  (archive.org) you can take a glance at what it was when it was what it was.

There were many good articles which were well received.  Originally, Factoidz paid very well.  Then, the Owner got gre…[Read more]
