    Hi

    So they contacted via e-mail asking if i would like to place an ad text on my site related to gaming or telecoms

    They would pay $90 for gaming

    or $70 for telecoms

    they said they would pay via paypal or moneybookers.

    Has anyone had any experience with these people before??

    Thanks

    I don't but if your site is related to gaming or telecoms and if you believe the $ they offer you is the right amount then go for it. Just verify that they are really from the site they claim. If they pay then place the ad... do enter into a lengthy contract.

    the company itself looks legit. maybe they're doing some work for one of their clients. might be worth asking for a agreement that you could both sign or something like that...

    I always require advertisers to pay up front.

    Just a follow up for my post. I accepted their offer and did what they said to post their ads on my site. However I did not receive any payment from them after 2 days as we originally agreed.

    So guys, if you are contacted by them, be careful.

    That's why I never put the ad up until they pay. Rule number #1!

    Rule #2 - don't do business with a party who's known for cancelling PayPal transactions before they're final. Espacially if agreeing with their offer can lead to your site being excluded from Google's search results (see 'paid links' in Google's Webmaster Central)
    They appear legitimate, but are anything but trustworthy.

    Howdy,

    I wrote two rather informative articles about this on my blog and have gotten a strong response from people saying that the links are very low quality and some people haven't been paid.

    This is a direct e-mail I got from the company:

    http://www.piotrkrzyzek.com/more-digital-scam-or-not-huge-update-a-direct-response/

    and the original post:

    http://www.piotrkrzyzek.com/moredigital-com-scam-or-not-subject-enquiry-regarding-email/

    To say the least, their website seems fishy and their contact us page isn't any better.

    Overall I have NOT heard good things about them.

    Good luck with your online ventures everyone!

    I got contacted by them few months back requesting for ads placements with an offer of 120$ for 1 year ads placement.
    it is my habit to always do some check on the advertisers website or account before doing a deal with them.
    guess what? found so many bad reviews about this company on google.
    Just search 'More Digital Scam' and you'll find bunch of disappointed bloggers.

    But i thought.. ok i'll give it a shot. And i replied to their email stating that i am interested.
    They replied back saying that we'll be in touch. It was on November last year.

    Three days ago i got email from the same person who contacted me last year, saying that they have an advertiser ready for me. and they will pay me $140.
    Again I googled about this company, still got the same result, saying that this guys is scammer.
    I said to them that i will only put the article live after i receive the payment. He said No.
    After few long argument then finally he agreed to pay me first. And there goes.. they sent me 140$ before i create an article for them on my site.

    So this company is actually paying, well at least they pay me :) .

    I've not head about the site which you're saying. Better to double verify the people you've been contacted. If you believe that the price they offer is OK, then have a contract with them accordingly. But don't make the contract fixed for years because it may be loss to you. Try for a quarter at least and not more than 6 months (you may claim the higher price than now). all the best :)

    What is wrong in advertising someone else, as long as you get paid well and in advance.
