My Review of Vinefire
74Vinefire...or should I say Wealthtoolbox
In 2008 a revolutionary website was born called Wealth Tool Box. It lasted long enough to make some of its working at home members very upset to say the least. No one really knows what happened, but they didn't pay their members what they promised. Instead, the created Vinefire.
Vinefire, has the same rules and some have said the same set up as Wealth Tool Box, but they changed one thing. The creators of Vinefire decided to wait a few months to see how the general public would react to the new site. They also choose to not pay anyone until January 31st, 2010.
Much to the surprise of the members of Wealth Tool Box, when they went to sign in one day it took them to Vinefire's home page. Outraged that they wouldn't receive the money promised they have slandered Vinefire's name and put a damper on Vinefire members chance of a new beginning.
Though, they have done this in late March, a newsletter went out to the members of Vinefire explaining that those that have been active and referring members would be randomly selected to receive an early payout. So, what does this say about the once slandered business of Vinefire?
We will have to wait and see. For one Vinefire member it has been a chance to advertise her work at home opportunities and actually gain referrals from it. She says, "Regardless of if they pay or not, I am getting referrals and that is the point of Vinefire. I'm satisfied."
When asked if she; asking to remain anonymous; would like to see the almost 2,000 dollars she has reportedly raked up by working with Vinefire, "Of course, who wouldn't. It would be an added bonus to an already great program. Until that money reaches my hands, it's just a number on a screen."
According to the Vinefire website, you can earn by clicking a posted link; clicking a sponsored link; to vote on links; have your links voted on; and also if you refer people to vinefire.
From an advertising percective this could be a dream come true, just don't expect to get paid.

My review as an advertiser,
What I have found is that you ost a link to advertise your site or sites and before you get back to home page, your link is gone, while other links advertising about vinefire, which one wpuld use on another ad site, stay forever. I personally think the down button should not be there, disliked links will disappear anyway. Another odd thing is when I do track down my link it's usually on page 5, 6, with the voted sign on, funny thing is I didn't vote on it??? FISHY? And niether did my so called earnings from my link increase, Now that's odd!
I just book marked your Hub on Digg and StumbleUpon. I enjoyreading your commentaries.You certainly deserve a round of applause for your post and morespecifically, your hub in general. Very high quality material.
Thanks everyone for the comments!
Only thing i'm upset about vinefire because had an option to upgrade for $100 limit a day from $50.00 a day then change it to $25.00 a day limit I feel thats not fair to everyone that paid there $5.00.
Hi All,
I agree to you all,but im also a member of vinefire(became 10day's before)There was a challenge of 10 days and get 1000$,so i signed up,you all may be rite,that we wont get paid,but dude we all(mostly)are getting too much traffic on our site's with free advertising,than what's the harm,and if anyday they feel to pay 100-200$ also than also we all will be in profit and not loss,And it's business my friend's,to get money through internet only one method applies hook/crook,That's it.So dont panic,i also had the eager to see what everyone in the world is telling about vinfire,now only one day is left for the challenge to get over,than ill let you know all,what's the real case,if they pay,ill be happy to let you know all and if they dont than also ill be happy to let that thing to all of you,So till than wait and take care.
Great review, thanks!
I am skeptical to about payout. Latest newsletter said the date was moved up to October 2009. So we will see. In the meantime traffic galore!
forums are down now...interesting
Vinefire should be viewed as an advertising source. Kinda works like a search engine hence the couple of hits you get.
Because this is a BETA test, don't hold your hopes on cashout of the amount you accumulate. IF there is a payout, chances are your Vinefire dollars are worth pennies on the dollar.
What was learned from the Vinefire experiment is being put to the test at a similar site: TrafficNowFire http://trafficpython.com/x/links/222806
TNF is paying like a PTC site. I've earned 3 payments so far. The number of links you can post daily is limited. This means that your links receive about 70-100 views per day.
It is MY opinion that VF and TNF are run by same entity. Let's face it, if script is available for purchase there would be thousands of similar sites!
Hey, I agree with your review, and have been a member of Vinefire since the end of Jan. I have been away for a while, and it looks like the forum has gone... does anyone no what's happened?
I've been a member of VineFire since it started virtually I've noticed lately it's getting slower & sometimes I have to reload the page it started yesterday Wednesday 22nd July 2009 so I don't know if its my computer or if VineFire have problems with their servers but the problem is there's no way to contact them so if anyone knows of a way to contact them please let me know & also if you are having trouble let me know that as well please by email. Vicar.david@blueyonder.co.uk put in the subject line "trouble with VineFire & I'll know not to dump your email as I get about 200 + emails a day. May God bless you all Dave. Ps I'm not a Vicar that's just my little joke!!
I'm not really planning on getting money from Vinefire I just like the traffic to my other sites. The referrals you can get with your link on Vinefire is worth the little time it takes to post your links.
If vinefire does pay than that's just a bonus.
Well I'm member of Vinefire since May 15, 2009 but I still waiting for money. I continue using it but would be good for Vinefire to pay us what they said. I also noticed vinefire is slow but the last days has improved.
I just registered so i can't say much about it.However, thanks for the write up. We all should all perceive it as an advertising site.

I have never heard of Vinefire - until someone sent me an email saying she saw one of my (hub?) articles posted there and decided to contact me. She said nice things so I appreciate it.
Don't know how this happens. Is it just a place where you sign up and then they link to your articles or hubs - for free?
Have you checked it lately and decided to do business or not?
By the way it was great typing in the word 'vinefire' and seeing your hub come up! Glad to know hubpages is right up there!
I noticed that vinefire has been down the last few days. I am a member there and just did a google search to see if there is any info.
I came across this. I too am a member and am using it for free advertising. I know the money most likely won't be paid but, the response from the ads I do post are good.
I am a member since April, and with regard to whether paid or not, frankly I do not think. that the ad is paying you for VINEFIRE CLICK ON THE LINKS OF THE SPONSORS, and if not satisfied with what this would be offered directly as a scam. I sincerely hope not, because there are thousands of members vinefire who entered to win.
Whats da email adress of vinefire support service
Totally agree that there won't be a payout. I also wrote about this in my review of Vinefire just this week..but that's ok. Let's just keep using it to promote our sites because you can't beat free advertising!
If they never pay,we can advertise for free,but our referrals to vinefire may hate us!I'm already a member there.
vinefire not paying money yet when they will pay...?
