Yes. Never had that sort of message before, so won't be trying it again!

Perhaps consider doing it again (don't click something if you're worried) but obviously everyone here (myself included) joined up through the same method (there is only one method to join) and never had a problem. I've also had several thousand pounds of payments from them...

Well done everyone on the Crowned reviews. Maybe you can give us non-crownies some tips?

@FOXGLOVE/Moleygoldpaws- I just added you on Dooyoo - I'm XanderSi.

@spiritwood - About the newbies not taking pointers, what do you mean out of interest?

nobody from here to my knowledge but what azana said...

It's quieter than it's ever been I think - I think the earnings potential has gone down unless you have 500 bottles of perfume, it does generally get quieter in summer but it used to be fairly easy to get 100 rates per review - I'm struggling for 50. A lot of people who used to be around aren't any more- no idea why - maybe they are more active on ciao or elsewhere - a lot of people moved to helium a while back - or maybe they are just busy

If you look at the stats here traffic to the site seems to be down a bit too http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/dooyoo.co.uk

Sorry haven't answered your question really!

Interesting stuff as always azana... I usually rate a few pages of newest reviews once in the morning and once at night, I noticed it's getting harder to get rates, but that may be because a lot of new people signed up and they don't rate back

A Golden Crown for my Game of Thrones review:)

Love it. For many reasons. Has urge to watch a certain crowning scene...

Congrats to all the other crownees here:)

Well done Tolteca. I read that review - well deserved. I considered watching the show but I have been spoilt to a few plot twists already. BTW get well soon.

And well done to dundunbanza and everyone else who got crowns! Spiritwood is being modest, she got 2

Just tried to register and got the following message when I clicked on the e-mailed link dooyoo sent: 'The requested web page has been blocked. Cisco Security has identified Malware on the requested page'. I'm on a personal computer, not a super-selective office one...

This happened to me once when I was browsing look for a DVD - webpage blocked. I believe it was in an advertisement, as when I searched again later on, no webpage was blocked but the ads were gone.

I have only been on the site for less than a week (I think anyway without checking the date that I joined) so I can't say review rates have dropped or not.

The highest amount of ratings I've had is for my review on the Chicco Trio Living Travel System.

Stats:

Not sure if thats good or bad for a site newbie???

Read and rate more Leo. Read and rate at least a couple hundred reviews.

can't speak for spiritwood but often people sign up for dooyoo, plunge straight in, don't read any reviews and then ignore constructive criticism - eg try make your reviews premium quality with ok spelling and only review stuff you own -

Generally such new members end up disappointed, as do the plagiarisers which plague the site every now and then (normally when the ebook on "how to earn big on dooyoo" is doing the rounds) - before dooyoo had a 5 a day review limit for new members at times it could be awful with 70+ copied reviews from a member in a day.

Most people are pretty poor at reviewing when they start, we all are I think ....

I have been trying to leave 'constructive criticism' in comments of sub-par newby reviews, never seems to do any good :cool:

I've been writing less lately and noticing more rates per review (which would be obvious really) but sure if I wrote as much as normal my rates would be down too.

The only thing I like about the people who rarely rate back is that I can decrease the 9000 odd gap between received and rated (from back in 2009 time). Always clawing my way back up!

I have a huge gap the other way - 3,000 people didn't rate me back
