Update (1st June 2006) : I received my payment from Bloggerwave.
Initially I was quite excited about Bloggerwave, as I thought finally there is a competitor to PayPerPost that allows bloggers to write sponsored posts and earn some pocket money. (Please refer to my previous Bloggerwave post). However, after my posting was accepted, there was no news at all from Bloggerwave, and things start to become quite suspicious. There are even news all over the blogsphere stating how their payments have been held back by Paypal for an inquiry and the possibility of Bloggerwave being a scam. So the question is whether Bloggerwave is another scam on bloggers?.
To get my facts straight, I wrote an email to the Ulrik Thomsen, CEO of Bloggerwave to enquire about the status of Bloggerwave and date of payment for my postings. Attached is the reply I got from him:
(dated : May, 29th 2007)
Hi Kuan Hoong,Thanks for your reply and thanks for supporting us. We are for sure not a scam and are just experiencing startup problems. We didn’t expect to get so many problems with paypal, but this is solved now and we are paying all our bloggers during this week.
We thank you guys to support us here in the beginning where we are in a learning process and really appreciate the feedback we get from you guys.
Hope that you continue to support our site.
Ulrik Thomsen
CEO (ust@bloggerwave.com)
OK, While I am still waiting for my payments from Bloggerwave, I will just keep my fingers crossed and wait to determine whether Bloggerwave is a scam or another genuine “make money online” for bloggers.

hopefully it’s not scam… hehe i’ll check that out later too:D
Yes, I do hope it is not a scam.
Does that means nobody had gotten paid before from startup until now?
No idea. So far I haven’t receive any payment yet from them
I wrote one post for them many months ago and am still waiting for the payment.
Hopefully it is not a scam as I’ve wrote some posts for bloggerwave too. Perhaps later they will pay us accordingly as blogging isn’t an easy work!
Haha, yeah I hope so too
Hi, I got my 1st US$20 from them today at my paypal. Hurray !
Wow! That’s a good news
I am still waiting for my payment.
Hi,

Hi PapaJoneh, Thanks for dropping by. Yeah, I was worried at the beginning, but since they made payment, everything is ok now. You know how the saying goes, “As long as there is money, everything is ok
Your Bloggerwave article is very informative. I came across your site while searching Bloggerwave on the internet. I am considering writing a post for them on my blog also. Great site.
Hi Carla,
Thanks for dropping by.
I would like to clarify that I received my payment from Bloggerwave a few weeks ago. So be rest assured that they are a viable business site.
I think my last comment got caught by your askimet. Try and have a look. If it’s worth it, you can publish it. If not, forget about it.
Interesting. I just made my first post and got approved. I was wondering why there were no other ‘jobs’ available on bloggerwave – now I see the problems many of you are having are much worse. Thanks for the info.
I found NO JOBS available, whenever i click the JOBS tab. Why so?
my JOBS tab is always empty. Please tell me how to get jobs. I havent earned a single buck from bloggerwave as of now.
I am waiting for Bloggerwave to accept my first post.
Hi, we have different side to view anyway. My post have been active more than 30 days. I have try to contact but never got the answer… anyway, are you the one have look at the sidebar when you have logging in blogger form ? I have seen that its just FAKE! Its STUCK! and thats why, im very worry for my 10 post have not paid yet anyway
Any comment ?
Bloggerwave is not a scam. At first I though it was a scam as they had not paid me after the 30 days, but then they paid me after that.
Payment proof here: http://drett.com/archives/2008/08/17/bloggerwave-just-paid-me-it-is-not-a-scam
i got payment today from bloggerwave but not full payment. i still wait for the remain
i have got scam… and just some of my predictable… most of people that have been paid just only got $10 – $30 NEVER MORE!
and just FYI, if you do have login to blogger dashboard see on the sidebar, the rating of which blogger have earn money of the month, THEY ARE STUCK! thats why i said bloggerwave scam…
Its just information for all blogger. I dont want to hijack any programs. In this case, event bloggerwave still run and away to not paid! Im still here to take time made some info that bloggerwave is scam!

This is not the first time I read and heard that bloggerwave is scam. I know many similar stories in ther blog guys.
I have written 14 reviews for them and have been paid for each of them on time and with problems at all.
The status in my bloggerwave account shows “Active”. Does this mean that my post has been approved and will be paid?
is there any updates about your compensation from them? Did they pay you?
