How www.rent-acoder.com was borned!
Bloggs are written by people who are having too much time on their hands!
I created this one only for experimenting in the SEO for my website. The small http://www.rent-acoder.com/. And maybe to share, if succesfull, some nice SEO tricks.
Let's get back to serios business.
Started in late 2006 with the registration on the rentacoder site(named rac from now on).
About 3 weeks i never won any bid. And i was bidding low, on as many projects i could (the ones that fitted my needs and expertise).
Finally i get choosen. Everything seemed fine, untill an idiot webmaster came and opened an arbitration. That was the start. You can win easily an arbitration, even if you are a beginer freelancer.
The main issue was at the rentacoder staff. Really dont know what kind of employes they have, or maybe this is a rule of them? Offcourse, its quite good from the business point, to disadvantage the coder/freelancer/designer. Maybe they didn't take in mind that sometime a pissed of and unfairly arbitrated coder will take a chance again them..
If they have a good business, that doesn't matter that they need to look down to everybody. They are low species of people for me! Period.
Anyway, i have completed 34 projects on the rac site, most of them with 10 rating, a good review. But i had also about 8-9 lost arbitration, and guess, rated with? -3
In case of loosing an arbitration, the other party isn't allowed to post a review for you(negative). I had a case when both the arbitrator, and the webmaster left me, each of them a -3.
Please do not make yourself a bad idea about me or rac, i don't want to try to deface rac, i am only listing some tru stuff here, the reason why this site started and i am where i am.
Meanwhile i did some stuffs there and they frozen my account.
I was sending them daily email in order to clear my name.
Ok, so i was angry because they didnt replyed for 7 days to clarify the cause of freezing my account. I searched all the pages from rac, in ordet to find a point where it clearly states that you are not allowed to do what i did..
Guess what? It doesn't say that anywhere!
I asked them numerous time for an explanation why they frozen my account. I've emailed them daily, to about 4-5 email adresses that i had, includin to the owner. But i never got a responce from neither of them.
Another interesting thing that i remembered, about one arbitration, where the buyer actualy lost! Do you believe, it lost! I have did my work for him as per requirements. That was my strong Defence against the buyer and mediator. We completed a test and everything, got tru the whole arbitration process.
What kind of system is that where if the coder is rigth, he is unfaired? Maybe they have some rightfullness there. I think they did this way because the buyer agreed to some terms and conditions when he posted the project.
