Review sites generally offer good reward to reviewers. Comparedby.us is one of the popular review sites which pay for per review written. They have a pay rate of $ 1.00 for every 1000 character review, which they call extended review. Earlier they had very attractive reward scheme of paying additional rewards for rating, referrals, first review bonus, etc. Now they have stopped the first review bonus, earning on ratings and referral incomes. They have also made a check on products having already reviewed 10 times. They have also restricted the maximum number of reviews to be written per month. Now a new member can only write 10 reviews in a month.

Like Ciao Comparedby.us has also started cutting all their rewards. It happens with other sites also, they start with a bang, offer an attractive payment and once they get popularity and good page rank, they simply cornered their contributors by giving silly excuses of spam, and reality is that they could adopt efficient tools to monitor that. So, it’s better to join a site when it starts and as soon as it becomes popular and starts giving cost cutting indications, stay away and look for some other options.
