I think kooday is really a great way of earning right now. But I am afraid to invest big time. Is there any chance at all that KOODAY may turn into scam? Explain please.

I think it may reach the point where all the noteworthy keywords are overpriced and people are no longer investing. That'll dim interest in the site for sure as anyone new who buys a keyword will be unable to make a profit. The good news is that Kooday does have a profit sharing model and new keywords will naturally crop up over time. The bigger problem is whether Kooday itself is serious about developing the search engine and will make money with it...search is a very tough business. If they're just keen on making money on the buying and selling of keywords, I think that well will dry up.

That is one thing I am afraid of that is why i don't invest that much on Kooday. I even read in facebook about some problems in the support ticket where lots of questions were not answered yet. Ans that is really worrying me.
Maybe if they could improved the customer response it will be a good thing. It's not nice when you want answer from them and it will take too long for them to answer a members queries that means they are not fully prepared yet.

No way guys. There are billions of profitable keywords and keyphrases. Before that threshold is reached years have passed. Surely newbies at a given point won't join anymore because Kooday gets harder, that's why I say: the earlier you join the better.
@reckon21: yes they're having costumer support problems but that means nothing pertaining the chance of Kooday becoming scam. David Ruebush from Kooday profits had a website in the 90's called iwantacar.com, what do you think happened when he hit the number one spot? He got traffic like one could never dream off and it took them months to catch up.
@damned: It's not so important whether they can compete with the big 3. You're making money now. If you see that they're not competing and you want your money request it and leave... in silence...

Yes, it probably won't be long before people start crying.
1) The owner is Brian Lindback......look him up, he's linked to many scams.
2) their supposed "search engine" is a joke....I live in Las Vegas, so I entered a local business. It didn't even come close to giving me what I was looking for, it gave me a bunch of "get rich" sites. So I thought, well maybe it's still new, so I put in Las Vegas......a world famous word that should result in some hits.....nope, again all I got was a bunch of "make money" sites.
I have my doubts in a search engine that can't even hit on Las Vegas.
3) The premise of the site itself doesn't even make sense......how are you people buying and selling keywords? Anyone can use any keyword they want FOR FREE!!! You don't have to pay for keywords......that's just crazy!
Everybody who's a member of that site are just exchanging their own money between themselves.......some are going to come out ahead, and some, especially newer suckers......er......I mean newer members are going to lose.
Once Mr. Lindback has lined his pockets with enough $5.00 investments, and people start to figure out the "golden road" is crumbling.....the site will start experiencing "technical difficulties," "down times," and will eventually just disappear.
It's just like any scam site.....they pay at first to make themselves look legitimate.....you can make good money at first, the trick is to know when to get out.

Sconibear, you clearly haven't done your homework, you just churned something out and submitted it so to speak. Here's why.
1. Brian Lindback is not the only owner of Kooday. Also Kooday has become too big to turn scam now. Imagine all the lawsuits they'd get. It would topple them and all their business over like dominoes and the only view they'd have is bars, a steel toilet and violent people: JAIL!
2. If you had read what is said on the frontpage:
Our Webcrawlers have not yet been turned on and once activated relevant results will be displayed. Our algorithm will impress the world. Currently our directory content is being used in beta and search relevancy is not accurate. You wouldn't have fibbed a reason like that.
3. They're having technical difficulties indeed. But what do you want when a site becomes such a hype. Reason 3 is the best of your reasons, but still not very convincing.
Jak2010: Your reply is of no substance: You havem't reacted on what he said and it adds nothing to the discussion.

I'm in a wait and see mode.I'm starting to get a feeling they won't come through even if they really want to.so far,every keyword I buy is bought and priced way too high for me to buy it back.Also,when are they planning to go live?I don't see how people are going to make money in beta.

I think this September they will launch their webcrawlers (whatever that is)

Every site has the chance to turn into scan so you just have to ride with your luck.
Is there a chance ? Currently I have not enough information on it, but if chances that it is legit now and you are desperately looking for some money and the reviews are good then I'd certainly advise you to try it, but again I won't invest on anything unless it has a 1 year record with no complaints.

Devil, you're shooting yourself in the foot with a bloody minigun. Kooday isn't some HYIP thing that makes you a few percent profit. No... kooday is a hype and with all hype it goes that you must jump the bandwagon soon or you'll miss out. You're not going to tell me that you can fish up profitable keywords for 10 cents in a year. So join now, it's just 5 bucks, it's really nothing compared to the 1000's of dollars you will earn if you're disciplined... Imagine the emotional and financial value 1000's of dollars has for you and take the plunge, I'll help you out step by step, if you don't trust me that's fine too... no hard feelings but don't be sad when it's too late huh?

Hi friend! I too have the same doubt. I don't think it is vice to invest more in kooday. I certainly agree that the customer response is very very bad. You should check with other members before start investing. I recommend you to buy new keywords only. I think it may be better for just 0.10$ Do you agree?
