Freebie Rivalry

There is such a thing as freebie rivalry among freebie forums and freebie networks that it is pretty insane. The stem of their rivalry goes way back and it still lives on even today. It was so long ago that my interpretation may be a little off but the forum rivalry has always been between
Anything4Free and FreeiPodGuide. ReferralSwapper wasn't really caught in the drama because they were never really focused on their forum but A4F and FiPG were the two big shot callers of the freebie forum trading world. Their users shot back and forth at each other claiming to be the best and what not. I registered on all of the forums listed and in my opinion, I think A4F is better and by comparing their activeness today, A4F wins hands down. I believe that A4F is still standing tall because they do not tolerate scammers and will ban them and their networks from the forum whereas FiPG will still support them. I will not name anyone but I do see that they are still rubbing elbows with FiPG and acting as if they never scammed anyone nor have they returned any money to those that they scammed. Another sign of rivalry can be seen at the grade level of different networks. A4F will grade sites according to user polls taken every month and by how much gifts are sent out to users whereas FiPG pretty much plays favorites. For instance, Free4Me is by all means a grade A site but FiPG will never allow Free4Me to move up to a grade A site because there is a little grudge between FiPG and Free4Me. FiPG won't allow an honest and highly praised network be a grade A site but they will allow a big time scamming network that takes not weeks but months to send out any gifts and puts any accounts on hold and have plenty of users filing complaints to Better Business Bureau and wanting to sue the network known as FreePay. No wonder there would be some rivalry eh?

The Online GPT Market

There are so many ways to make money online that it is insane! You have your usual GPT incentive sites with your usual trial offers. You also have your choice of doing online surveys for money. Next comes writing online articles and even blogging for money. There is even forums where you can earn money from posting on their forums where the usual pay rate is between 3 to 9 cents a post but if you are a active online forum poster then your online hobby can earn you a large chunk of change. I will list some legit pay forums in a later blog. The new online market has grown so much that now people are actually renting other people's forum signature's space for a fee! I always knew about link swapping and banners but this is the first time that I have heard of buying someone's signature. It just goes to shows you that you can pretty much sell anything to advertise on.

Best Freebie Forums

There are a number of freebie forums out there to choose from but in terms of the best is up to the user. Some forums will appeal to your visual tastes while others will appeal to your sense of content and so on. When it comes to using a freebie forum, you should seek out the one that best fits you especially if you are thinking about wanting to swap trades because trading is based on your trade record. Each forum has their own TR system so it would be wise to build your TR on one forum rather than on multiple forums.

Anything4Free is very user friendly and offers many features. A4F has over 44,000 users and is very active.

FreeiPodGuide is not as appealing visually as A4F but boasts a TR and a karma system.

ReferralSwapper is mainly for trades as you can see from their nearly dead forum.

FreeLunchRoom consists of mostly moms at home that loves to rant about how they got screwed or how they tried to screw sites.

These are the major players so now it's only up to you to see which one is best for you. I personally prefer A4F out of the rest for their activeness and visual appeal. Plus, they have a battle system! Along with other add ons that may or may not appeal to you. Pick your poison.
