Making money through Qassia Website

Feb 17, 2008 19:38

Dear All

I just signed up with Qassia because (a) it's free to join and (b) I understand that I get $100 Qassia Dollars each time I make a referral who actually signs up.  After reading this email, do please go to http://jefferyseow.qassia.com/ and sign up so I can make some Qassia Dollars and so you can start making some too.

Qassia is a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based web directory. At Qassia, you can add and promote your websites (eg Multiply, Ryce, Facebook, Livejournal, Tagged etc.) for free. You can also add intel. Short for "intelligence", intel is a tidbit of information. Qassia rewards users who add intel in three ways.
  1. Backlinks You get one backlink for every piece of intel you add. Every intel will carry a direct backlink to one of your sites. So the more intel you add, the more backlinks you get.
  2. Credit When you add intel, you also get credit, in the form of Qassia dollars. Your net worth in Qassia dollars determines how well your websites rank in our directory.
  3. Revenue When your intel is displayed, you get 100% of the advertising revenue generated by that page. That is not a typo, by the way: we give you ALL of the gross ad revenue.
Qassoa run Google Adsense ads. When your user page or intel is displayed, the Google ad is run using your account number. That means you own the ad, and Qassia don't even know how many times it gets clicked on or how much it generates. You can check these stats yourself by logging into your Google Adsense account, with which Qassia have nothing to do. The revenue from your ads at Qassia will be right there, alongside your other ad revenue (if you also run ads on your own sites). When the time comes to get paid, Google pay you directly.

How will Qassia make money, if the ads are owned by the contributing users? Well, Qassia run their ads on the front page. And Qassia don't run ads using the user's account numbers if Qassia are displaying search results (comprised of snippets from multiple intel), or when users are navigating through the directory (again, snippets from multiple intel will be displayed). Qassia only display ads using a user's account number if the page being displayed is the individual page for the user's intel, or a user's user page.

Anyway, no harm trying to see what happens.

Cheers

Jeffery
