Yao, I just want to share some of my experience with this site.

I registered at their forum a few years ago. Recently I visited their forum and I have to say I had an unpleasant experience. First of all, I was confused about their rules after I saw a moderator (not Trent Brownrigg lol) posted an affiliate link farm post, later I learned that their moderators are allowed self-promotion – okay I got that, but then one of my posts was deleted by the same moderator whose post made me confused, who is also my “competitor” for no reason. You can imagine I was pi$$ed not only because of the abuse of power by one of their moderators, it definitely was a waste of my time making that post.

Obviously it’s not my business to tell anyone how to run their business, but when a business lacks of fairness and integrity, it’s hard to take it seriously.

I was/am not impressed with this site, and do NOT recommend this site to any experts.

I have my own website and I must say that this one looks really professional and is very nicely done. I am impressed. I may even advertise here in soon.

I must admit, I was not to impressed with the site.
I’m in the UK so I entered London and Search Engine Optimization. WhyDoWork.com could find no matches?

Man I’m signed up on so many sites… already started forgetting where I’m signed up on, but that site does seem interesting…

I personally love the WhyDoWork website. Mainly the forum where I have been a member for over 3 years (and a moderator for much of that). It has always been of my favorites, and I am a forum junky.

The owners are great people and always trying to improve the user experience.

Lots of great information there. I recommend it to newbies as well as experts.

Just my 2cents on the subject.

@Robert Kingston:

Thanks for the open and honest review! One of the reasons I like reviews is that the feedback is candid and open.

I took your suggestions into account and removed our blog subscriber count. To be fair, our blog is only about two weeks old, prior to that it was used as an article repository and had no RSS subscription option. Therefore I was hoping you could offer even a little respect

@Rob Malon:

Can you elaborate on your thoughts? They are quite philosophical and I’m not sure where to go with them. My latest post on I think is pretty unique?
About the forums: Thanks! We have a lot of satisfied users. It’s my job to give our blog that same reputation

Their blog is presented nicely and well thought out topics, but doesn’t feel unique. They dont give too much of a sense of “why would I be here” other then the cliche “you can work at home”.

The forums are a GREAT resource for a project I’m working on. I’ll probably be back there to poke around. =)
