Yousaytoo... does it just copy your site with your blessings?

Y2E · 02-28-2010, 09:25 PM

Hello. During a backlinks exercise recently, I stumbled on yousaytoo dot com. Went through the registration steps and added profile info and the read the not so fine print. Basically, it was saying that I was giving permission to republish every post on my site/blog onto my profile blog on yousaytoo. I'm assuming they're doing a mass RSS leech? Can someone who is familiar with that place please comment on if that place is safe, or better not to touch it? Thanks.

Sounds to me like you got the cart before the horse. Or maybe now the horse is out, you're trying to close the gate!

If that site is unsafe, you've already put all this info on it and the damage, if any, is already done!

If you have Firefox as your browser, they will throw up a warning card if a site you're trying to enter is unsafe. And there are other tools that will do the same. And I take it, from what you said, that such a
thing didn't pop up. Therefore, it might be perfectly safe. But, to be on the safe side, I would call a reliable expert computer guru, and ask.

Thanks for the reply, mcain. It didn't really provide an answer. I'll try to clarify.

The link to yousaytoo.com came from a backlinks package being offered right here on WarriorForum. I won't say which one just yet. The site looks like any other site. Here's what it says:

Quote:

YouSayToo is a revenue sharing community for bloggers that splits Google AdSense and Amazon ad impressions in your account 50/50.
You can keep the revenue from your account or donate it to a cause of your choice.

How does it work?

1. You add your blog (URL/RSS) to the bloggers community
2. To make or donate revenue fill out your Revenue Settings
3. After adding your blog all new entries you make on it will be imported into your YouSayToo blog. Your old entries won't be imported
4. Your YouSayToo blog will help you get more from your content

That's a lot of duplicate content, then, if it is going to copy all of your new mysite.com posts over to the yousaytoo.com blog from that date on, isn't it?

They import only new articles those that come after you add your blog. I've been using yousaytoo for some time now and I'm very happy with the results as are my friends who invited me there. I'm now getting more money from articles imported into my yousaytoo profile than from articles on my blog and I get to share them with the yousaytoo community and get those important extra comments and readers.
