Premium Fund

That's pretty good going. Did you give is a saucy title ? LOL

Mine is 48 / 2629.

All I can assume is because it is for a dvd player and lots of people have googled it. My review always came up at the top of the list.

But I tried it a couple of days ago and though it came up with the Ciao listing when I went to it, it said the product had not been reviewed yet.

Just another c**k up by Ciao.

Maybe the people googling it tried a hundred times each because they got the same response !

Very true!

hehe !!

Congratulations to everyone who got a Diamond for Feb' I got one in my first month, (January), did no get one this time. I did get £2.50 PF so thanks to you all for that.

Lucky you !!! Haven't got any for ages.

Yes I agree. Last month I had an overall exceptional and nothing in the premium fund which leads me to question whether E's actually equate to premium fund payments at all.

I thought that Diamonds had nothing to do with the PF. Although if you have received a diamond then you stand a higher chance of a PF payment. I also thought that the PF payments were split between all those that were nominated by us that read, rated and then recommended a review.

Ciao don't and won't disclose how the PF fund is dished out.

Members reads, rates and nominations are all open to abuse so i'm not sure they use this as guide. I think it's far more likely that how much you get is partly based on the number of non-member reads the reviews get.

Ciao makes its money through sponsors and advertisers and if 1000 non-members have visited the site to read a review that had an overall rating of VH, that review is far more likely to be rewarded than the one that got 50 non-member reads but had an overall rating of Exceptional.

There are no diamonds in Germany? And no PF?

How does Ciao.de reward its members then? Do you still get paid per read on all categories?

Well, they put on an information in the member centre 3 days ago, to tell all members that they are working on all email and the funds, and we shouldn't send mails to them (just for information, the last diamonds are given in November and the last fund is from that time, too)

There are also plenty of categories without any payment, some have 123 reviews or so, some have 5 reviews and no payment for it all ...
