Bloggerwave tries damage control
Filed Under Scams |
Bloggerwave CEO Ulrik Thomsen has been dropping by blogs which mention the debacle concerning Bloggerwave defaulting on payments after barely a month or two in operation. Here is the comment he left at my post which talked about Bloggerwave not paying bloggers and having PayPal freeze its account because it was paying out funds it did not have.
Dear Bloggers,
We are indeed a relatively new company on the commercial blogging scene, a little more than 7 weeks old now, and we plan stay for years with plans of launching local sites on local languages and other new groundbreaking income generating tools for our growing number bloggers.
The reason behind delayed payments has nothing to do with lack of funding, cash flow problems or similar. We have had problems with clearing our Paypal payment account and have been dragged around until the end of this week where we finally got all issues solved and started paying all of our bloggers.
We will post a newsletter on Friday June 1st 2007 to our entire Bloggerwave community explaining this minor speed bump on the road to making Bloggerwave a leading commercial blogging solutions.
We always eager to receive ideas for changes, improvement, correction of errors etc. and any of our Bloggers, advertiser and users are more than welcome to contact me directly on ust@bloggerwave.com for assistance or help.
Best regards,
BloggerwaveUlrik Thomsen
CEO
Although it is a good thing that Bloggerwave has come out to address issues, it might be too little, too late. Bloggers who have been affected are asking why they were not informed by email right from the start instead of having to find out the unpleasant way - by having their funds taken back or not getting paid at all. Furthermore, enquiring emails were not replied and many had already written off their loss.
Bloggerwave has to do more than just make an announcement in its newsletter to inform angry bloggers what they already know. It has to go one step further and think about how it can make up to its blogging community for this breach of trust and to regain not just credibility, but goodwill as well. Whether Bloggerwave will succeed in putting this episode behind and move forward in the arena of paid blogging, only time will tell.

I was going to sign up, but am now very skeptical having read all this stuff.
Bloggerwave is the worst thing in my life!! Trust me every bloggers all over the world!! The program is suck!! Since the first time I was entering this program until now!! I haven’t been making any money!! This is not make any sense. I’ve finished 3 opportunities, “Bloggerwave”, “Masterseek”, and “Coke Zero” reviews. All of them had approved by Bloggerwave. Later on, my first opportunity “Bloggerwave” is cancelled, then “Masterseek”. I am very confuse, posts that have approved by Bloggerwave can be canceled by them. Be wave with Bloggerwave, this is a new SCAM!! You can check it out at my blog, with those keywords at “review” category.
Bloggerwave, you are damn suck!! Liar!! Damn Liar!! They owe me US$30 and now only US$10. Bloggerwave has canceled the US$20 and has eaten the money for itself.
Guys!! All of you should beware, don’t say that no body care about the real reality of this new scam program!! I have already warn you!!

Have you tried emailing the CEO directly? His email is in my post.
Others have had success in recovering their money by doing so.
Try it! Good luck!

I had problems with Bloggerwave as well. I will not come back to them. I have posted and they approved the post.
Two days later the post disappeared and they will not tell me what happened.
That’s a problem because I let the post in my blog for two days and I am not going to be paid for it.
I rather stay with Blogsvertise. At least they answer my emails.
Claudia:
Sorry to hear about your troubles with Bloggerwave. Looks like they should be avoided.
Try out the others like PayPerPost - the best for beginners and mid traffic blogs or if you are more pro, Sponsored Reviews or ReviewMe.
All the best

Bloggerwave is not a scam, as they paid me. They paid me late (past the stipulated 30 days, but they did pay me in the end).
Here’s my payment proof that Bloggerwave paid me, it’s a screenshot of paypal
