Listverse Top 10 Lists Listverse Top 10 Lists Is a Marketing Scam! Lower Hutt California

Listverse.com or cognitz.com, a company based out of New Zealand (or California - WhoIs isn't really that clear), is operating an old-school marketing scam.  They are purporting $100 payments for Top 10 Lists to get traffic inflated.  They never show WHO gets paid; they have numerous writers they employ to make the general public believe people are getting paid.  In any case, Listverse isn't any more legitimate than Technorati, Social Media Today or other legitimate sites.  Some have reported their lists were stolen and submitted to article directories upon submission.

Be Careful!  Don't fall for this marketing flimflam - it's the oldest trick in the book and comparable to the elusive 'Sweepstakes' contests that never yield a winner. Protect your content!!
