How good are freelance programming sites?
ankeshk: From a buyer's point of view: odesk.com and elance.com are pretty good.  All the others - not so much.As a service provider - you will always get paid a bit less though - because of the real time competitive bids.  When 15 coders bid for the same project, no matter how skilled you are - you will have to make competitively priced bids to win the projects.
