Zimbio.com sucks, Bloggers should avoid them like the plague
Ok, I have tried for over a month to have my account at Zimbio removed. I have sent email after email to their support@zimbio.com email address, to absolutely no avail. My account still remains, and these shit eaters never got back to me once.
For you bloggers out there considering using Zimbio… I’m sure you will love all of your Google rankings owned by these assholes, so they can use YOUR content along side THEIR advertising. What a mistake signing up with this crappy website. Hopefully this will prevent other folks from signing up with them as well. Fair warning people.
UPDATE: Seems my harsh emailing has worked. Just minutes after emailing them, they were super fast, and super nice to respond. They deleted my account immediately, and that makes me happy.
So, with that said, I think Zimbio (and others like it) can be beneficial to bloggers. However, be sure to read the Terms of Service to make sure you are happy with the manner in which they can use your content. Personally, I didn’t think their TOS was favorable to me, for the amount of traffic I received from them.
Thank you Zimbio for finally answering my emails, and promptly and courteously removing my account.
Hell, I never even signed up. They just scraped my content anyway. I think you were right the first time.
