I am a member of the site but following points had made me sceptical about their site:
1. The editors team didnt reply back even after 2 days when they say in site they respond within 24 hours..
2. The site has only 2 pages listed in the google search..
3. The traffic rank of this site is very poor indeed..
4. Lots of vague and unnecessary reviews are there which are not deleted..
5. Page rank of this site is only one !
I hope that the site does not come out to be a scam !!!!

To start... I am the Editor at ComparedBy.Us. James Krawec.
We do payout, the 20th of each month. However, you will only be paid out for reviews which are acceptable to our editorial staff.
Secondly, it is Christmas this week and almost all of us are on vacation, that is why it is taking so long for us to respond.
Thirdly. We had a major server issue this week. The site was down for most of 48 hours and we are still working feverishly to solve all of the problems we have run into.
I promise that we will iron out our details and if you posted valuable reviews to ComparedBy.Us in the last few days you WILL get paid for them.
Thanks!

Hi sidzler,
I have my concerns about this site as well, but the only way to find out if it is a scam is earn the $20 and request for cashout and see if it is in your Paypal. They did not mention how long it would take for the payment, right?
How many reviews have you written? I have just joined it today and wrote one review and got $2 for it. So I'm going to write a few more to see if it does really pay. All the best!

I think they will pay members 5 days after Jan 20 but only those who requested and processed on or before Jan 16. The rest will be the following month. However, I'm worried about the site as until now they have not put back the write review feature. :-(

Your concerns are perfectly valid, SiDzLeR. That said, as per the particular blog posting of a payment proof I've seen just now, I guess it appears quite legit. If you want to check it out, here's the blog post:

As I'm not yet a member of the site, though, I can't be absolutely sure that it is, in fact, legit. I might just have to see for myself.
Stay active and Happy myLotting!

Site is up again. CBU is proved to be legitimate. I have seen so many payment proofs in other blogs, forums and even here on MyLot. I really enjoyed this site, better than Ciao.

Yes what you said about this site is true.I too have made 30$ in this site and requested payout for 20$, but am not sure whether this site pays or not.We have to wait till next month 22nd to know whether it is genuine.
