    What do you guys think about products with the name 'freebie'? For example....... 'FreebieIpods' . Do people see the term freebie as a bit scammish?

    I think the first thing that comes to mind is "What's the catch"? :)

    Nobody knows until they click into the links.

    Second that.

    I'm a bit wary of the free stuff in the internet. Usually, after I click the link, my email will be flooded with promotional emails. Now, who wants unsolicited emails in their inbox? Not me.

    lol thats true...legit freebies get a bad name from all the scams out there. Just do your research and see what people trust most

    If you can provide that this program is real, pays out and has a good reputation the name won't matter.

    Not really scammish... but you'd wonder what's in i for them? As mentioned, once you put your email addy in there, expect tons of emails. You'll be part of their "list". Fret not though, you can always opt out.
