I don't think it's a scam, no. I just thin k it's hard to make money there. Zsomeone has to think of your review as helpful, that's if they read it. I don't think you get hardly anything for sonething that's "somewhat helpful," and the only way you make money just for a review is if it isw one of their approved items. What they have done is constantly lower the amount you get. I think at one time it was a dollar, I think that might have been a liuttle high just for a review. Then it went down to 25 cents. To me, I just don't like it. But I don't believe it is a scam.

Ciao was a very good site at its starting. Then after it started to get down. There were many people actively participated in ciao. Being a member in ciao, myself also earned money from this site.Gradually, this site introduced new rules and ruined itself. Recently I heard that this site ban Indian surfers.

I had to comment on your response - Ciao did not ruin itself - it had to introduce new rules because of the vast amount of greedy people coming to the site with the sole intention of cheating. The site is not a charity and there is no reason it should pay money to people who are copying reviews from other people and trying to pass off as their own or writing sub-standard which are of benefit to a potential consumer. Ciao had to change its rules because of the dishonest people who came to the site and spoilt thing for the few honest people that are there. If Ciao bans people from certain countries I wouldn't be surprised if there is a huge percentage of cheating going on from those particular countries. At the end of the day, people saw it as a money making machine and didn't think about working the site long term. I've been on the UK site for over 5 years and make decent part time income from there because I DON'T cheat - you can just blame the greedy people for Ciao changing its rules and no one else...

no, I don't think it's a scam, I just think it's hard to make money there. You have to review what they you to review, and it has to be read. And, if someone only rates your review as somewhat helpful, you don't really get much at all. The thing about them is, they have reduced the amount they pay. But I don't think it's a scam.

Ciao is definitely not a scam site and has been running for many years in many countries, with literaly millions of members across the globe. In fact it is so popular that a while back Microsoft were looking to buy part of Ciao, I think it was the review side of the site rather than the survey side. I am not sure what happened as I am no longer active on the site due to other commitments. But trust me Ciao is 100% legit and a great way to make extr a money.

hii sunny
i think you are from India
so there is no benefit for you to know about ciao because they are not paying indian members right now.
by the way ciao is quite a legit site and they pay good amount to many people.
but its sad that it is closed for Indians now.

Yes. I am a mamber of CIAO ... my opinion this site is good and realy to paid. If we want to success in this program, firstly : we have to reading the regulation of CIAO, cause in several day till now many mamber cant to access their account. Perhaps their account has blocking by CIAO.
We cant earn money quickly in CIAO. We preparation make 1 review of product ...,posting next we can to give rate for other review from mambers. We add friend...for all activities we earned point and income. CIAO not the Scam. Good luck and enjoying as mamber CIAO.

Ciao is a great a easy way to earn some extra ash. You make up to at least 5 dollars a week easily on that site. I just earned one dollar yesterday. I started a new review for people to rate and i rated about 30 reviews. It's a good site and many mylotters use that site also to earn some extra cash like myself. Enjoy using Ciao and Mylot
