Don’t Let the Scammers Wreck Your Health
There are lots of complaints on the Internet about the www.000webhost.com affiliate program (see, for example, http://drupal.org/node/211166 and www.promojunkie.com/forum/affiliate-networks/21711-www-000webhost-com.html). Affiliate marketers and webmasters keep on saying that www.000webhost.com does not pay them the hundreds of dollars it owes them and does not answer their emails. They say that some time later they find their affiliate accounts have been deleted.
www.000webhost.com offers to pay affiliates five dollars for every free sign up, but I have not found anyone who was actually paid, and I do not understand why the major search engines have not banned www.000webhost.com from the search results.
From what I have read on the Internet, it looks like 000webhost.com owes its affiliates thousands (and maybe hundreds of thousands) of dollars.
Here’s another example of an alleged scammer that the search engines still index: According to http://www.imreportcard.com/other/ptc-wallet (and its members and contributors), most of the feedback about PTC Wallet (www.ptcwallet.com) is negative. PTC Wallet members and affiliates report that their accounts are either cancelled or they do not receive payouts. They report that PTC Wallet does not reply to questions, concerns, and requests.
The search engines often ban little webmasters (the ones earning less than ten dollars a day), yet these same search engines not only continue to facilitate big-time scammers (including the ones who steal money and labor from the little guys on the Internet), they also promote and facilitate the corporations and governments that precipitated the recent worldwide economic collapse.
