TheFreebieGuy.com Review - Incredibly Spammy - Posts Fake Freebies



TheFreebieGuy.com is a freebie blog that has been around for a couple of years. During our time following this blog, we did come across a couple of issues. TheFreebieGuy.com was previously owned by someone else, and when the new owner took over, things took a turn for the worse. Their spammy reputation is even worse now more than ever.

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.
  • Posts too many sweepstakes - that include THEIR referral link. 
  • Sweepstakes are of the spammy variety - where they get PAID for posting them. God knows what the those pages do with your data.
  • 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 TheFreebieGuy 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 ads on website makes it harder to see the actual content. Need to scroll down a lot and be careful what you're clicking.
  • Purchased well over 2 million Facebook "Likes". Don't believe the hype, they are purchased "Likes".
BOTTOM LINE: Stay away from TheFreebieGuy. 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.
