GregH Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 So I was cruising the web over the weekend, and I kept noticing these ads for JustAnswer. I decided to check it out, and noticed that there is a link to become an "expert" on there. Experts on JustAnswer receive questions from users of the site and answer them. The users offer a small fee for a professional answer, and the site forwards 1/4 to 1/2 of the money to the expert. I filled out their application and took their 10 question test to become qualified to be a Ford expert. I was surprised about the test - one question was naming the wire colors that feed the left bank injectors on an 01 E-350 7.3L. Another was which shift solenoid could be at fault to cause a loss of engine braking in manual 1st on an 08 taurus x. I passed the test, and was invited to become an expert. But I must first register myself with Lexis Nexis and pay to have my employment record verified. Yeah, I stopped there... Anyone else snooped around there?

Keith Browning Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yep. "They" are also relying on YOUR ability to access resources like Ford's service information. Do they compensate Ford for this access? Are we authorized to use this information for a third party to profit from? It's not like JustAnswer.com is paying for a Motorcraft subscription right? I passed as well.
