FreebieMom.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. FreebieMom was previously known as CouponClipinista, but they have rebranded (in May of 2016) in order to try to revamp their spammy reputation. Don't be fooled.
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 FreebieMom 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".
