A while ago Ciao lowered the price to $0.25 per writing, that's something similiar to the price of typing. Now, the $0.25 is removed-- according to the Community News. I haven't written there for a long time since lowed to $0.25. I'm curious, are you guys still there?

My opinion is that the biggest software company owner microsoft have been affected by the economy crisis and he is tryin to scam people by CIAO.... hehehe just kidding. i think it is the worst thing CIAO has done, from 1$ to 25 cent was acceptable but from 25 cent to 0 cent cannot be accepted. they alreay made little hard to earn money now they have made it very difficult to earn. i think CIAO sucks big time now.

The pays for ratings at ciao is still intact.Based on my experience, I did not much bothered on the news that ciao is not paying .25 dollars per review anymore..For me, as long as ratings are coming over to your review, earnings don't stop...but provided that your review is really a good written, complete, well organized review..I've seen people at ciao who are just sharing specs and description of a product and call it a review already??i think, ciao's purpose is for the actual user of the product to share their opinion, user experience, likes and deslikes, etc...its not bad to include the specs but not they should not stick to that alone...a lot of people are abusing the pay per review..others don't seem to care about the quality of review they posted...as long as they are posting a lot of reviews,thinking that they will earn more...but then, when the payment per review is gone, their earnings go down also..

pays for rating looks intact but it's actually going down. Less member means less people rate your review.
Frankly, Ciao has a very low quality control. If you care, you can take a look at Helium or Constant Content or Associate Content. Those sites have much advanced quality control on articles. You write low, you just can't gain high. Ciao almost doesn't make any efforts on quality control, instead, it cuts member's earning. Sad.

actually i am very sad with what happen with the site. it is really hard to earn income. i just based my income on the ratings given to me by the other members. i hope they will bring back the 25 cents per review.

mylot pays a lot more than that. and we can post freely on whatever we like. Freedom- that's the main reason I choose to work on mylot. Every words I posted on mylot comes out from my mind or my heart, and it's normally my current concern. In Ciao, they have very few topic to write- it takes time and great efforts. $1 per write was fair for that efforts.
