Why I am abandoning HDTVforfree whilst just 1 green away


I have not come here to slag this network off, only to share my experience.

I have just had my verification declined for the fith time and I have decided that I am not willing to send any more traffic to this network.

As my account stands I have 1028 yellows, 10 Greens and 13 users have been placed on hold.

I also use the Kudos network and freebiejeebies and have excellent ratios with hardly any users being placed on hold, All 3 sites receive the same traffic so I cannot understand why forfree4u should be so different from the other 2. It is my opinion that offers are going untracked and the verification process is overzealous.

I have previously been determined to continue trying until I get my HDTV but I have now had enough, there are now only 2 offers available to complete and it looks to me that they have no intention of allowing me to reach the 11 offer completions required.

Yep I am just 1 green away and I am giving up. My traffic is much better spent going to Kudos or Freebiejeebies.

Looking at some of the threads within the exceem supported networks it seems pretty clear that the only sites that truly deserve a place there are Kudos and Freebiejeebies.

lol, you are kidding right? Just because people are chosing to do fj/kudos/ri doesnt mean that forfree4u are going "down the pan".

As per usual, we only have one side of this "experience" by someone who just joined.

i agree with that and have commented on it before as a reason i havent referred there for a while , but i dont think that means they are going down the pan , in fact someone posted on here with amazon vouchers not too long ago .

my guess is that exams etc have taken higher priority than updating the network and offers

but i havent heard of anyone awaiting shipping or support response etc etc

does seem a little dubious, but personally i decided long ago to only do FJ sites, even Kudos have let me down but FJ rule!

looking at all the endless complaints of other networks on here, Im baffled as to why people decide to use anyone other than FJ when FJ offer everything that the other networks do

I guess it's sometimes like the way that some people shop at tesco although they prefer Morrisons

Some people refer to all the networks and change their links and then some stay loyal to one network, even if it might not be the No 1 site.

personally, I've had a few gifts from forfree4u and been delighted with the service all the way. I would love to work with them again but as has been stated a few times (and I agree) they need more offers.

sorry for speaking out o line. I know i dont know much about free4u. <aimly coz there never really mentioned on here, so i assumed there not a great network atm. but then that's an assupmtion... somthing alot of people are doing atm.

so my appologies for that... i will just be sticking to FJ and Kudos tho. I'm finding whenever i start at one thing it suddenly goes down the pan and i miss out.

i dont really have ppl come through my site so i odnt know squat about ratios, although i would have thought the FJ ratios are good because in my opinion it is the best designed network and the only one that when you first see it you instantly think.. this is legit, not a scam

It's not always the networks design, lots of things come into it.
for example, I beleive I get better ratios with RI, because alot of my proof pics credit RI, instead of FJ.

Hi all,

First of all, apologies for the delayed reply!

Freebiechap - we only ever place accounts on hold when there is evidence of fraud or when our terms and conditions have been broken, and always review every decision on a case-by-case, merit-by-merit basis. We're unable to comment on individual accounts in a public forum, but I'd be more than happy to assist if you could submit a support ticket.

Things have been really hectic recently, but we're working on a lot of things at the moment and have recently brought two people into the business, too.

Along those lines, if anyone has a suggestion for an offer, feature they'd like to see, or anything else, please, please, please get in touch - either by PM or support ticket - as I'm conscious that we've slipped recently but are keen to get you guys working on the network again!

Cheers
