Odd, looks like their domain name is down, but their ip address still works. Links won't work if you don't know the address though.

Damn. The mods on Giveawayoftheday keep saying the Giveawayoftheday website is safe. Their Giveaway software has been tested for virus and spyware blablabla.
I can't trust these Giveawayoftheday mods anymore.

I have no such problem. http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ is working fine here.

Yeah, I'm staying away. But it's listed on WOT only because it was reported as listed on that other site, and that was in April. All in all a very iffy situation. A Guy

MMT - Sites engaged in the use of misleading marketing tactics

This classification is assigned to sites that use misleading tactics to push applications (e.g. affiliate sites peddling a program as a free removal tool when infact it's a free scan only) or websites.

I also hate that the Giveawayoftheday mods delete comments in the product review section if the comment mentions a product is listed on hphosts , has a bad reputation, etc. They really cannot be trusted. Heck I remember one product contained some whistler trojan which was reported by some people. The product developer apparently made a post that the trojan had been removed and a new download was cued up. GAOTD treated this as no big deal and went ahead and allowed the product to continue to be listed. I can't think of any legit site that would allow that developer to ever list anything on their site again. After this though the posts about downloads being suspicious or sites listed on hphosts or having bad reps started to get edited very heavily by mods.
