UPDATE: CouponClipinista.com has rebranded as FreebieMom.com as an attempt to try to revamp their reputation, but this review still applies. Don't be fooled by the new name or new website look. Here's the new FreebieMom.com Review, which is identical to the CouponClipinista.com Review.
CouponClipinista.com is a couponing blog that has been around for a couple of years. During our time following this blog, we did come across a couple of issues.
PROS:
- Updated everyday.
- Posts are in order and are easy to follow, chronologically.
Unfortunately, there are a lots of problems that do need to be addressed.
- Very, very, very cluttered website. Definitely not user friendly.
- Had a difficult time navigating the website.
- Hard to distinguish content from ads. This site probably had the most amount of ads that we came across while following all blogs reviewed.
- Often mentions "RUN!" in Facebook posts, and even post titles, when the coupon or freebie isn't likely to expire soon. Misleading.
- Norton Anti-Virus did issue a 'Virus Warning' twice during our regular visits, probably due to the amount of ads. Be cautious.
- Seemed to regularly copy content from other blogs. Very similar wording, and CouponClipinista posted after. Lack of originality.
- Never ever gives credit to other websites when they post a deal found on another website.
- Their Facebook page is worse than communism. Mention ANYTHING the admins do not like (including asking if a freebie is legit), and you're banned.
- Huge logo on website makes it harder to see the actual content. Need to scroll down a lot.
- Purchased well over 2 million Facebook "Likes". Don't believe the hype, they are purchased "Likes".
