Hello,
I just stumbled upon this site: http://blog.mongenie.com/index.php?p_m=bloghome&p_a=register
where they offer to be paid for putting ads on your blog..., I wonder if they really pay or if it's a scam?
So if you know, could you please enlighten me?
Thank you for your responses.

    I do not recommend blogmongenie.com
    I haven't touched anything since July 2010 and my blog has been stuck at 3.07 euros since July 2010.

    I've given up!

    AVOID!!!!!

    BLOG MY GENIE has never paid me (like a lot of people apparently!)

    I have not received a single cent since 13 months!!!

    No response to my messages or explanation

    They collect advertising money for themselves and do not give anything back to the bloggers
    The terms and conditions are outrageous, at one point it states that they can delete your account WITHOUT ANY REASON
    So people don’t dare to claim their money in my opinion...

    100% profit for them!

    Hello, I have been on the Blog Mon Génie for a year and for the past two months, it hasn't paid anymore......, they don't respond to my emails, in short, think twice before giving them your bank account details.

    Similar to Vanessa and Damien. My last payment was in June 2010. I have already written several times to ask for explanations but of course got no response. It must be said that mongénie has never been good at communication. I should also add that there is no longer a way to upload videos.

    I am looking for another blogging platform where I wouldn't have to upload my articles one by one, so something that would allow me to import the content from my blog. So if you know any?

    Hello,

    Indeed, since we took over the platform, the profits are no longer shared. After the acquisition, we implemented our own advertising networks.
    If you don't have much content, I strongly advise you to switch to KaZeo.com
    This year, we will be launching a blog monetization program in partnership with Google.

    See you soon,

      NOT MUCH CONTENT!!! I have 4 years of blogging, photos, texts, friendships in comments;... it would hurt me for everything to disappear into the digital spheres! EVEN if I manage to print it, I'll lose all the comments....
      I suppose that like Orange bloggers, our work will be reduced to nothing!
      Might as well grind up our memories...
      With a little effort, there’s a way to keep the old blogs, I suppose...
      Monetized or not....
      Thank you in advance.

    Mongenie paid well until 2008. Then it became a charity, and payments were only made starting from 2 euros (it took a lot of friends clicking to reach that... hence many abuses...)
    It seems that since MONGENIE became KAZEO, they no longer pay anything. I'm stuck at €1.68, so I assume I can write that off. Too bad, being part-time, it used to cover my weekly bread....
