    Advantages Advantages Cheap, community

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Many non-paying members

    This review is based on a researchers view only ~Introduction~ JustAnswer.com is an online forum with a view of Google Answers. Members answer other member's questions for money. The twist is anyone can answer anyone's question. This means you don't have to apply for a job at Google Answers to answer questions. ~Answering questions~ When answering questions you type your answer in a text box. A recent answer of mine was: Question: Expain the relationship between China's geography and its belief that it was the sole source of civilization. Answer must be in details and contain a minimum of ... more

    Advantages Advantages You could get a good answer really cheaply

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Take it or be harrassed until you take it

    This review is not about how good or bad the answers you get from justanswers.com My early experiences with them were good - quick answers, low cost, and you could decide what to pay & whether or not to accept the answers. You could still get that, but you take your chances. They have changed their business model in very bad ways. They removed the DECLINE button, so it's hard to say "I don't want to pay for this answer" They make veiled threats on the help pages. If you look up DECLINING an answer they tell you the "experts" see your ACCEPT/DECLINE ratio & may not want to work with you. But ... more

    1 Star Quick review of justanswer.com by Bob712 23/09/2008
    I used JustAnswer and instantly realised that the "Expert" did not know the subject and palmed me off with some nonsence then hit me with a plea to accept his answer (meaning payment) when I replied to say he had not answered the question he responded with a second similarly vague response. As I understand most of the experts are US based and as my question concerned a UK domestic appliance product of a specific type and model the expert was lost. On that basis it is clear to see why no one pays.

    Advantages Advantages Open forum to post questions and answers on any topic.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages OH, where to begin. Nonpaying customers, no expert comradery, very cut-throat, low payout, waste of time and energy

    This site is set up as a live advice site similiar to Keen or Kasamba, etc. They recruit "experts" to answer questions and clients post questions, receive multiple responses, and decide whether or not they want to pay for them. Expert credentials are not verified. Clients can read all answers as long as deposit is paid. Lots of kids cheating on their homework, which is sickening. Purported "nurses" and "veterinarians" answering health and pet questions, you can tell by the quality of their answers that they are not truly professionals (unless they are just that inept at their professions). It ... more

    Advantages Advantages Will take your money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lots of incorrect information

    The truth about Just Answer and it's experts. Just Answer's experts evaluate each other. Since the experts that have been there for a long time can make a pretty good income, they do not like to see new experts come to the site. This cuts their income. They will report them to management. After so many reports, the new expert gets a email saying ,they can no longer be an expert on the site. The new expert has no appeal rights. No way they can even know who reported them. Many of the older experts cut and paste information. They copy information and use it as their personal answer. Most of the ... more
