Qassia.com - get paid and get links for contributing to a wiki-type thing?
Posted: Si on Apr 01 | backlinks
Just came across this site. Seems like an interesting concept - you contribute articles and they use your adsense id, you also get backlinks based on some sort of credit system for contributing content and refering other users.
Kinda feels a bit pyramidy, but I’ve not really looked at it. Certainly seems interesting, anyone came across it?
The beta isn’t open, you need an invite - lhoffer.qassia.com
I haven’t come across anything bad about it, but I’m betting most bloggers are trying to get referrals. Although it’s a fixed referral credit, not a cut of what the user you refer earns from what I can see, it’s that credit that gives me the pyramidy impression. I might be completely wrong on that though. Guess it depends on whether they want to build a massive user-generated content site or just make cash from the ads clicked on by people referred by people referred by people referred…
Might be an easy way to get links and prob traffic if it becomes popular, depending how the credits-backlink thing works out could be an alternative to sites like ezinearticles - it seems the articles on there all have a prominent ad at the bottom for the author, they’ll also use your adsense ID for your content which can’t be a bad thing.
Any thoughts? (Someone tell me if it’s obviously crap…!)
(Yeah, this is the same as I posted on WickedFire - duplicate content is better than no content on this neglected blog!)
