Comparing FJ to Kudos

Diesel · 28-07-10, 12:11 PM

Hey, just trying to compare the two networks as a whole to see if i should switch over to kudos or not.

Does anyone know if you can cash out on two refs on the kudos sites like you can on the Fj sites?

I think its a minimum of 3 referrals to cash out on Kudos, but you will get £18 a referral compared to £17 with FJ. Depends if you will be cashing out or getting gifts i guess.

nickjett · 28-07-10, 12:45 PM

Why you want switch over, you getting more greens on Kudos?

**MJ10** · 28-07-10, 01:51 PM

Hmm, I'm currently finishing my newest design and am changing from FJ to Kudos all the time! Really dunno which to choose! Thinking Kudos as I'm on Gifts there and only on APple for FJ so causes problems with Xboxes etc!

Are the conversions better?
Are the offers better?

I know theres the new design, but it's not here yet!

suparuss · 28-07-10, 04:37 PM

I'm waiting for the new design, gonna switch over if I like it

chapperzUK · 28-07-10, 04:42 PM

I might switch over to Kudos on my latest website and see if the conversion rate is better.

big6n4 · 28-07-10, 05:13 PM

I'm looking forward to the new design. Hope to see some new US offers so i can green a couple Kudos sites and try them out for myself.

nickjett · 28-07-10, 05:49 PM

I really happy with Freebiejeebies, i was with GA but that another story! So dont see the need in changing?! To be honest all the networks dont look scammy so i dont see conversions being a problem.

So the only thing im goin by now is customer service and FJ have served up a la carte service so im happy!

Melz · 28-07-10, 06:09 PM

I think it really depends on which site you seen first. I saw FJ first so i decided to give them a try. Once i join this forum i started to hear about kudos network so i checked them out. I did make a account with them, but i am currently working on a laptop on FJ so most likely when I'm done I will certainly give kudos a run. but they are both great sites and you really can't go wrong on either one. I'm probably just going to switch site everytime i pursue a new gift.

But hey this is just my opinion

kudos · 28-07-10, 10:47 PM

Thanks for the positive posts. Appreciate it!

To clarify, the minimum order limit on KUDOS is (currently) 3 greens on all sites. Im considering changing this but not sure yet. Its all tied in with other aspects of the business model so changing it could knock on to other things.... still mulling at the moment...

tronsmith · 30-07-10, 12:43 PM

I have changed over to Kudos for a few reasons:

Firstly, FJs varification process has become very slow (in comparison to what it was).

Secondly, I wanted to check ratios (with kudos so far 1:8)

Thirdly, I like the fact that you can customise the order of the gifts on your customised home page.

Fouthly: £18 per green is very attractive.

It appears that there is starting to become more competition between FJ and Kudos, this is good as it will benefit us as they try and get our custom.

Oh and Fifthly: There is no A&L (Santander) offer - BRILLIANT!

nickjett · 30-07-10, 01:10 PM

Does Kudos do what FJ do with the itemised linking? So if peeps click free ps3 on my site that will be their chosen gift when they sign up?

No, at the moment it is only possible to scroll to the gift you want, for eg if you wanted Xbox 360 Slim, you'd have this - gifts.kudosnetwork

Thanks for letting me know Lee, and let us know once you're mulling is over lol

Riverlution · 31-07-10, 12:00 AM

I'm thinking of using kudos at some point soon because some of the things they offer do seem slightly better than the Freebiejeebies service. I'm mainly interested in the £18 per referal obviously, but am interested in seeing the new site eventually and would like just to try it out.

However, I don't see me leaving FJ at the same time, I still love the service and unless I find that I preffer Kudos, I'll likely use both simultaneously. Are people generally getting more or less conversions on Kudo?

I will indeed let you know.

The itemised links are coming

Just trying to figure out how best to implement it. It may be ready for the new launch but more likely it'll be a feature for after the initial launch. It'll only delay the whole thing if I do it now...

eowl · 31-07-10, 10:04 AM

How different are the offers on Kudos compared to FJ?

icyoli · 31-07-10, 10:26 AM

Reading all of this Kudos does sound pretty tempting! I agree that FJ's verification has got slow. Ill wait for Kudos' new design and base my decision on that!

FJ are slower, but that is because they are much bigger than Kudos now, far more people are verifying every week as lately LF have been updating weekly.

I'm sure Kudos would agree if they had the same amount of people requesting their accounts to be verified then they also would struggle to stay on top of them.
