Feedcat.net Review: FeedCat is a scam
If you are using feedcat.net as of right now, I advise you to quickly remove it from your site right now. Feedcat.net is now ran by scammers who are out to take your hard earned cash!
What is FeedCat.net?
FEEDCAT.NET is mainly dedicated to boosting feeds in order for bloggers to gain more subscribers and traffic to their site. It is great for exposure and gives readers the ability to find topics and sites more easily. Their service is free and it really did help bring in traffic to many of my blogs. However, this year Feedcat.net changed for the worse when the site admin sold FeedCat on Flippa (click here to see ad).
I started noticing that I was getting clicksor ads on my site as well as being redirected to Amazon each time I log onto my blog. I do not have a clicksor account and simply thought maybe I uploaded a scammy wordpress plugin. I went through each plugin trying to find a hidden code but didn’t come across any.
I started to panic because my adsense earnings were quickly going down the drain. I searched on the internet but couldn’t find anything at first. Finally, I came across two blog posts. One from HelloLosCabos and another from Sucuri detailing how FeedCat.net could be the scammers that inserted the suspicious ads onto my blog.
I removed the FeedCat code from my blog and all is well.
How is FeedCat.net scammers?
Written in FeedCat.net’s Web Site Terms and Conditions of Use is the following:
8. Ad Sponsored
By using Feedcat.net and placing the button code on your website, you grant Feedcat.net the right to serve ads on your website.
This means the ads that are placed on your site through the use of their FeedCat.net button code is stealing your hard earned revenue. Your site is redirected to sites that earns FeedCat.net money! For now I would suggest users stay clear of FeedCat.net. I have searched my email inbox as well as my spam box and couldn’t find any email from FeedCat.net stating a change to their terms or saying that they were adding ads/redirects to the FeedCat button.
