Filemad.com Review as Paying Image Host

    Well here is my review after testing them out once in a while for a month. I have had a few problems with this site.

    First, they say you earn 2,4, or 20 points for views of your images. 20 points equals 2 dollars per 1,000 views. These are the best I have found yet! However, the first download gave me 10 points...and a few more did the same thing. After emailing them about it they said they found no errors, so I don't know what that meant. Today I was given 20 points for every view so it seemed to have been worked out.

    Now the bad. For those of us who are trying to generate revenue from clean images (mine are landscape/nature), stay away for this site. They will bombard your viewers with adult ads which will piss them off. This began when they started to allow adult images to be uploaded. Yesterday they seemed to have gotten rid of them, but after posting on forums today I was given a headsup by a not so happy viewer. After visiting the gallery the adult images were back. Why couldn't they display adult ads with only the adult images? Wouldn't they make more money without scaring off those of us who have clean images where children and families will visit?

    Apparently they don't give a damn. As long as they make money, that seems to be it. Maybe in the future they will do something along the lines of what I mentioned. Makes more sense to me, they would make money since they would have both markets!

    So if you upload adult images, give them a try. If you are clean like me, AVOID THEM! If things change I will let you know, however I will not be uploading there again anytime soon and I will see what they say in the forum (I am sure they can tell I am pissed, especially when no notification was sent out).

    Sorry everyone, I was not able to earn enough to be paid since I had to quit using their service due to those stupid adult ads. They said they have paid 5 people so far. It allows adult images as well as clean images, but your viewers may get mad about the ads like mine have. Not everybody wants to see that crap.

    I don't have the time and money for my own site yet, but if filemad works then great, no need to spend money on a full site.

    Thanks filemad.com for taking the ads down, I did ask a couple of favors on your forum under the username adamsimsphotography.

    I think they need to Get a Good Dedicated server . As the site Doesn't Opens or Is Slow on Opening.

    It is strange, it seems to be having problems at one point during the day and then it works for a while and then offline again. Not sure what they are doing.

    very sorry for the inconvenience.We are on very good dedicated server that can handle 20 times the current users.We never had this kind of problems.
    It is 100% unfortunate.
    And the site is working now.

    This is a good program for someone who uploads images in bulk and has large number of views for the images.
