Just had heard the sad news that ciao will be closing down this July. I've been active to this site since October.Ciao is a real good paying site...But because of extreme abuse of the site, admin have no choice left but to totally shut down the site...Are there any other similar review site like ciao? I wanna join..Thanks

I heard of opinions.com. I tried them, didn't like them though. Its really sad that they are closing up the site. The abusers have ruined it for everyone. I was starting to make leadway there. It was helping me bring in $50 altogether.
Have you ever though of joining any article writing sites? You can also write reviews there. I am already part of squidoo, ac, helium, and buskia.
Looks like I am going to have to transfer some of my reviews over to hubpages or squidoo. I was creating version of those already. I may even write one over at ac eventually.
If you think of going squidoo or ac, I have a referral link in my profile, you can check out.

Thanks you for sharing the sites you are currently in. I'm only active at ciao and dooyoo uk.I feel at home to these sites. I've tried triond but it seems earning good money takes time in there. I joined bukisa last night and see how things will be. I'm familiar with helium, ac, and squidoo but I haven't check them out yet.I'm currently on my way of saving my reviews at ciao and hope i could publish them to some other sites. Still, nothing beats ciao.I will really miss this site.I've met lots of good people in there including you.

Nothing will ever replace Ciao and I was on ciao for about 3 months I think. No other place, the earnings came in no time. All the other sites that I had mentioned do take work. Not that what we did, didn't take a lot of work. Compared to Ciao to the rest of the sites took a whole lot of more work. Right now, I will be concentrating on some of the writing sites and then maybe venture again and find some more review sites. They are out there. Its just a matter of finding a legit ones.
Nice to meet you even though it was at the end of it all.

Oh wow! That's really sad! I've heard lots of people are a member of it. Do you think people will get what they earned so far? Or is their time just wasted?
Wigix a similar site. Although, you only earn if people buy the product. I wish I knew more sites, but good luck to you!

That is the main reason why I hate spammers. They ruin sites that are legitimate and that are really helpful.Just like Ciao and Destroy Debt, both sites decided not to pay their members anymore because of its abusive members. The administrations of both arties may have not enough fund to hire IT's to eliminate and lessen spamming which ruins the site.In the end, they have just decided to just stop paying.
About sites that pay per review,try reviewstream. try also visiting www.mturk.com
you mught bump into a review making task there.

Ciao sucks la, I was once a member of Ciao and I received my payment of $15 only after 6 months at first, then later I did not received a single cent although I wrote like hundreds of reviews... Stupid Ciao!
But as I was about to give up hope, I found 'Auto Swift Cash Generator' and its like... WOW! It pays US$20.50 per sale referred and for my first month with 'Auto Swift Cash Generator', I earned US$800 plus! And you know what... its almost half the effort less I spent for Ciao! As time goes by... I earn more and more that I decide to give up Ciao!
So owelm0408, try 'Auto Swift Cash Generator'... http://www.mystere-d.com/autoswiftcashgenerator/ I'm sure you won't regret your choice!

When I logged in to Ciao this morning, I read the message that Ciao is "delighted to announce an exciting change". I know that such headlines are just euphemisms and when I read on, I saw that Ciao will not pay anymore as of today. It's a real pity. But I also read that Ciao will pay all users the amount they have earned by now, so don't worry!
As I know, there are just a few websites that pay for writing. One of the best is MyLot, of course. :-) When you are a very good English writer (me not), than you can take a look at Helium.com. However, this site will only publish well written English texts.
Ok, that's all, time to mourn... :-(

I heard they sold out to mirosoft and are now joining bing. I bet there was a problem with abuse though. I'm pretty disappointed :( I just joined this site a few days ago and already had 7.00 in my account. They did say we would be paid for our account balance though which is nice. I was really impressed with this site though :( it's a shame.
