Today.com takes bloggers hard work and makes a huge profit on it giving the blogger .002 per unique page view and you can not cash out until you reach $50….which you will never reach!

It’s very true. The get you going, and then the more traffic you bring in the less they pay you. In addition, they delete your posts without warning if you say anything to disagree with them.
They even reserve the right to reassign your content to other blogs without any compensation.
It’s a scam. Don’t do it.
Agree with above – As per today.com’s email today, I went from $1.00 a post (big deal!) to $0 per post . Instead, I will earn $0.002 per unique visitor. Because I have a new blog, I’ve averaged about five visitors per post for six posts.
Let’s see . . . I should earn the minimum payout of $50.00 in the year . . .???
I also agree. Today.com recently did a pay cut across the board, slashing the rates of even some of their top ten bloggers. Anyone who expressed disappointment with the new rates and suggested compromise with Today was promptly locked out of their accounts. Requests to remove copyrighted photos have gone unheeded, even though they do not fall under Today’s work for hire agreement.
After looking around the Web, you’ll find that Today.com has a pattern of luring in writers, then just as they get going, cancelling their account. Today keeps all the continuing revenue from that blog, and the writer never sees a further dime from it.
Avoid this company at all costs.
