have you heard of the paid to blog site called Blogcharm? It was a free blogging site similar to Blogger, Blogsome, Wordress or any other free blogging platform providers out there but you have to display their adbar and they promised to share the profit with the members. I joined them and created two blogs and when I reached the minimum payout of $10, I made a request but nothing happen after that. After mailing them and not getting any reply, I decided to abandon my blogs there and move to Blogsome. After more than a year later, I decided to pay a visit to my blogs there since I needed to get some codes used at the blogs and I was surprised to get the message that they have closed and asked members who have submitted request for payouts to provide them with their PayPal email address so that they can make payment. I thought that they were just pulling a fast one but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and gave them my PayPal id. After two days, I was surprised that they actually paid me the amount that I requested and I suddenly felt sad to learn that they are actually honest but due to a business that did not really work out, they have to abandon the whole thing... How many company or people would do such thing? Most people would just quietly go away and pretend as if nothing happened. So, if you were a member of Blogcharm and have made payout request, I suggest that you go and visit them and give them your PayPal id again if you want to be paid for the work that you have put in there. Cheers!

Thanks for letting us know. I had just started my blog there but then I shifted my place of residence and was out of net conection- you have just saved me a lot of effort that otherwise would have gone waste. Thanks again.

Are you talking about the blogcharm from blogexplosion? If yes then I've heard about it. I never joined even though I am a blogexplosion member. I'm not surprised that the business failed,it was a bit predictable.
