yeah like i said though
what if they just get paid for us <- snipped -> the words do not even have to be right like omarsdali said from my experience this is a scam and that they should all give the money that they made to buy rice for the poor people like they said |

Nice, if that's truth, it's very simple way to help the hungry people. And it's addictive, as the objective is greatly.

well, i have been going on that site regulary now. i told my wife about it and i guess she thought this site was based on a great idea too since she's on there more than i am now. i'm happy to know that and the fact i am indirectly helping others by spreading the word. my efforts are good, but if i spread the word more, that can really add up to a lot of grains of rice.
again, i encourage everyone to not just go to that site yourself, but to spread the word. according to the faq on that site, 25,000 people die of hunger every day. i live in the united states and most people here take food for granted as it's available everywhere....even for the homeless. |

poverty.com is their sister site, made by the same founder, it shows the number of people who died in the past hour.
QUOTE Nice, if that's truth, it's very simple way to help the hungry people. or a very simple way to get rich quick, take a look at the blog post in this website http://www.aftrsmedia.com/iscreenstudies/?p=84 they did some calculations and found out that the owner is making way more profit from the website, and someone else said something about the ads being pay per action ads and concluded that its probably a scam. |

woah, that is a great find! I am going to spend some time earning rice.
On the other hand, I hope this not some scam for the owner to earn profits... |

QUOTE(demonatashadow @ Dec 5 2007, 11:09 AM) hello? doesn't anyone read other people's posts what if it's a scam for free money? I have been reading them, but let's examine everything. As the link to the blog post shows, the owner of the site only makes money on commision; that is, when someone clicks on the ads and then buys something (as i thought it was). The owner of the site, like the blog says, has also been from the site TheHungerSite. Let's consider a few things here: Since revenue is based on commission, viewing the ads alone doesn't bring in revenue. There are, also, apparently more people gaining rice than they are buying things. If there is any money left over, it can go to TheHungerSite and its sister sites. Yes, the money could also go to himself, like for payment for the hosting of the site, the maintainers of the site, his personal life, etc, but we'll just have to trust his word on this from what he mentions in the FAQs. As for the calculations, that would be true if they weren't just guessing. For the time being, the rice has increased, and if you want to prove his actions, then perhaps you should mail the people they're donating to and see if anything has been received from them on their part. |
