Frequently Asked Questions

If I take advantage of your FREE offer, will I ever have to pay for my guestbook in the future?
Nope! We are giving away FREE unlimited use guestbooks to help advertise our all new service! You can use your guestbook for as long as you like!

My guestbook from your previous service is being bombarded with spam, what can I do?
Let us convert to our NEW service FREE! Our new service has a built in spamguard. Spammers are leaving messages in your guestbooks via their own automated software. Our NEW service has a photobox code that means the signer has to do so manually. This stops most spam in its tracks! Just drop us an email with your username and password and we will convert your guestbook for you! If you do still get spam in your guestbook, you can take advantage of the "Approve" feature that allows you to approve any entries that are made before they will appear live on your site.

Why do you charge $25 for a Guestbook when there are free ones out there?
Other guestbook services clutter your guestbook with advertisements and pop-ups. Guestbook World is proud to be completely ad-free with no pop-ups or other annoying clutter. We are confident that you will enjoy your guestbook, and we are proud to announce that we are now one of the few guestbook services offering a one time fee! We only charge you $25 for unlimited guestbook use...way below that of our competitors who are charging $10 to $50 per year. We encourage you to browse the web for other guestbooks and check out their prices and layouts. We think you'll agree that our guestbooks are very professional, and easy to use! Most importantly, our customer service beats any competitor out there. We are here to help...always. We will be glad to assist you with any questions or concerns, and we have a support forum set up that is checked daily!

Can I get a Guestbook or Poll without an email address?
Unfortunately, no. They are designed to offer the option of emailing you when you receive a new entry, so the email address is required. If you do not have an email address, you will not be able to complete the sign-up process. However, there are many places to obtain free email addresses, such as Excite, Yahoo, and Hotmail. Then you will be able to sign up for a Guestbook and/or Poll.

How long do I wait for my account to be ready?
You don't have to wait, it's ready immediately after you set it up!

Can my Guestbook be spammed?
Well it's not very likely, but we can't say "no". However, on our guestbooks, there isn't a way for spammers to automate it. That means that these spammers will have to manually add their site to thousands of pages. Chances are slim that you will receive spam. If it does happen, simply log in and delete the message.

Where do I get the code that I need to link my website to my Guestbook?
After your sign-up, you will see your code displayed on your screen. If you miss it, then check your email. The code is also sent to the email address you specified during your sign up. If you did not enter the correct email address during your sign up, you will have to login to your Control Panel and click the "Generate Link Code" button.

My GuestBook entries have the incorrect time. Why?
GuestBook World is located in Central Standard Time. If you are in a different time zone, the time entry will not match your clock. Because we have users all over the world, not everyone's entries will show the correct time-stamp. However, you may adjust your time zone settings in your GuestBook Control Panel.
