Elance is one of the oldest freelance sites established in 1999. It has great features as notification on projects and have a customized time tracking software for projects billed by hour. As a minus is that as a free member you have only 10 bids/connects per month. To increase this number you'll have to upgrade membership. Anyhow, this is a great site and one of the best places for freelancers searching for projects.

Hi, this is Nicole from vWorker.com (formerly known as Rentacoder.com). Like Elance, vWorker provides access to a wide variety of jobs but the services available at Elance could limit success. Consider the following:
1. Workers on Elance cannot place more than 10 bids a month unless they pay a subscription fee ($10/month for 25 bids, $20/month for 40 bids or $40/month for 60 bids).
2. On Elance, an Employer can challenge you with an arbitration at any time. If they do, you must either choose to pay the non-refundable arbitration fee ($66-$133) or forfeit your money-back guarantee. In addition, an Employer intent on abusing the system can stall the start of arbitration on Elance for 21 business days and during this period your money is not available to you.
3. Elance does not guarantee any hours until you've worked at least 80 hours. During this time you may find yourself working for free. Elance only guarantees to pay you for the first 40 hours you work in a week. If you are working longer hours to help a client, you may find yourself working for free.
