FreeStuffFinder Review - Most Unethical Blogger Ever, Spammy, Not Legit

FreeStuffFinder Review - Most Unethical Blogger Ever, Spammy, Not Legit
FreeStuffFinder.com is a freebie/deal blog that has been around several years. We followed FreeStuffFinder over the course of 3 years and we did see several issues with the blog & unethical blogging.

PROS:

• Updated everyday with lots of deals.
• Deals are usually straight to the point.

CONS:
Unfortunately, there are a lots of problems that do need to be addressed.

• FreeStuffFinder is LOADED with advertisements, which slows down the site a ton and makes it hard to browse.
• FreeStuffFinder copies several other deal and freebie blogs. However, NO credit is ever given. That is VERY unethical. Credit should be given where it is due.
• Tina, the site owner of FreeStuffFinder is extremely cocky and is known to BLOCK followers and even bloggers from her Instagram pages for no reason. When questioned about this, she denies blocking the followers and bloggers and will not unblock them. During an e-mail conversation we gained access to from a reader, she mentioned she was 'too good for other bloggers'. We believe this is because she feels threatened by competition from even ordinary people.
• We spoke with 3 of her previous employees who once worked for FreeStuffFinder. They all told us that she paid VERY poorly and actively PUSHED them to take deal posts from other blogs and not credit them back.
• 'Freebie' posts are misleading. She uses a lot of referral links and tricks you into signing up for the freebies that are not legit. She gets paid big time on these and your information gets sold to spammy companies.
• Tina from FreeStuffFinder once got a Target employee fired (who followed her on Instagram) once she found out that the follower could no longer give her early access to Target weekly ads. She called the Target she worked at and told them that she was taking the ads, getting her fired.
• Check out her Periscope & YouTube Channel - you'll see that she is more into talking about herself than the deals she is supposed to be helping you out with. Is it maybe because she doesn't know about the deals since they didn't originate from her? 
• Speaking of Instagram, Tina buys roughly 80% off her followers. Also on Facebook too. The HUGE amounts of followers she has is just a lie. Don't believe what you see.

BOTTOM LINE: We highly recommend you stay away from FreeStuffFinder. You can find these exact deals and freebies on other blogs, but without the spam. Consider the fact that Tina is a very unethical blogger, you probably shouldn't support a blogger who thinks she is higher than everyone else and steals content without ever linking back to the original source.

FreebieRadar Review - Not Very Original

FreebieRadar Review - Not Very Original
FreebieRadar.com is a freebie/deal blog that has been around for about a year. During our time following this blog, we did come across a couple of issues.

PROS:

• Updated everyday.
• Not too spammy with advertisements.
• Easy to follow posts.
• Not misleading, deals are straight to the point.
• Very fast loading website. Probably the fastest and cleanest loading site compared to other blogs.

CONS:
Unfortunately, there are a lots of problems that do need to be addressed.

• FreebieRadar copies several other freebie/deal blogs, almost word for word.
• In the 1+ year FreebieRadar has been around, they have never given credit to a blog yet. We all know that they aren't finding the deals themselves (taking from other blogs), so credit should be given when it is due. 
• Layout is even a replica of another deal site that I have been monitoring. Digging deeper into this, I found out that FreebieRadar copied the same layout template code and used it on their site.

BOTTOM LINE: Due to the fact that FreebieRadar is obviously copying posts from other sites (almost word for word) and not giving credit, I recommend staying away from this blog. Other blogs deserve your traffic since they have original content and give credit when it is due. If FreebieRadar ever changes their layout and becomes more original, I will definitely change my review to a great one and would love to become a regular reader of the blog.

CouponClipinista Review - Not Legit, Very Spammy

CouponClipinista Review - Not Legit, Very Spammy

 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.

CONS:
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".

BOTTOM LINE: Stay away from CouponClipinista. There are plenty of other websites to visit and are worth your visit. This website is incredibly spammy and is making thousands of dollars a day tricking you into signing up to 'freebies' when in reality, the admins are promoting these spammy offers for a big paycheck.
