on the other hand they have kept the payments on hold; saying that they need money to fight the law suit..!

i have 2 blogs and all the images are hosted at shareapic.net now i have lost 60% of my images and links…

anyhow i can get those images from the back of my own. .shareapic dont have backup of those images

but.. now the rework for me is to upload all those images again to shareapic.net generate code and again edit my hundreds of blog posts to make all those broken images visible on blog.

do you guyz think i should start using shareapic.net again?? the answer might be yes, because they pay me for that.. but the real question is; “is that a good decision to trust shareapic again? what if the server crashes again?? why should i again waste my time and my blogs traffic if the disaster happens to shareapic again??”

friends.. do share your thoughts about this..! you can see both of my blogs suffering badly due to this http://sans24.blogspot.com and http://myblogfo...f.blogspot.com/

I used shareapic for more than 1 year: no prorating. Since 2 months: 50% cut of my earnings!!! I don’t even change the forums i used to post on!

Go on their forum:
You will many reasons for the pro-rating: but none of them are valid.
And you will never have proof of what they pretend about your traffic.

Most of users do not complain on the forums: because they know they will be banned and their account will be deleted. Shareapic will find always reasons to do it: adult content, autosurf, false traffic (it means they are not be able to prevent the increase of the number of views coming from the same IP adress…)
Users prefer to let their galleries on the servers and earn few cents: they just go to shareimages.org

Wanna have the proof that the system is unfair: try this, go on Alexa, try to find the stats of the websites of some of their moderators and most active posters and “spammers”: You will be surprised. AND THEY ARE NOT PRO-RATED!!!
Indeed, UNFAIR!!!

Shareapic is dead. Sorry for them.

Zorro!

We present everything on the site and it’s open and up front. If Members use their Zoops for upgrade, then they never have to be out of pocket, so I am not quite certain where the scheming comes in.

We value our Members and their efforts to bring in more Members, period. The levels of the referral program are clearly outlined on the site in each and every Member’s account.

I would be happy to supply facts and truth to go with postings that involve our name upon request. If you need to reach me, you can do so via http://www.capazoo.com/matthew …. Happy Holidays

2. We very rarely receive requests to remove images, but when we do, we remove them promptly. There have been no major problems thus far.

In practice you get:

1. Views fraud (like click fraud, but much easier to make happen)
2. Copyright violations – take someone else’ catchy pic of a semi-naked babe, post it on a few hot forums and there you have it.

Good luck

@ImageBam.com glad to hear the positive remarks… It has been a struggle to deal with bandwidth costs and we had that problem when we rented servers from companys that implemented hefty overages etc. But with co-location and owning your own powerful servers/hard drives it is alot easier to manage costs.

@MuyLamo – Dont be a flammer… the big and most successful users of shareapic.net make more then enough to cover the servers/bandwidth they rent for their successful blogs which makes them more then happy. here is an example of one of our users blogs.. –

@everyone – The ability earn additional money just for doing what you would call a hobby is amazing to people.. which is why alot of celeb bloggers use our service to host their pictures. I do agree that shareapic.net is not for everyone but for the people that use it right it is a very valuable service.

@ImageBam – “Even with good bandwidth-prices it is hard to stay profitable.” Not so!! We run our own servers and have a custom contract with our data center Profitable is something we certainly are. You have to be in order to keep expanding.

But from a business perspective, I don’t think it’ll work out very well, esp. in this case with posting photos. It’s going to run rampant with spam and gaming of the system. Let’s start a pool on the days left before this one gets deadpooled.

Its not that easy – images tend to get larger and larger (3mb and up). This causes a large amount of data that has be stored and served. Even with good bandwidth-prices it is hard to stay profitable. And if you do not allow nudity you have to spend hours after hours to screen the images.

Under the line free image hosting still pays off but is definitely not just easy money.

Revenue sharing is an excellent method of driving traffic. Nice work @shareapic

Glad to see Duncan Riley keep up his record of utterly lacking technological prowess or business acumen. I think he could be replaced by a mail filter that bounced PR pitches directly to the blog.
