A new rev sharing bookmarking site - Like Xomba & SheToldMe!

1. 0

   ryankettposted 14 years ago

   Hi guys, I have been testing the water with a new revenue sharing site. It is very new and still has PR0, like SheToldMe did before the last update.
   
   The great thing about www.Snipsly.com (thats the site) is that you can post just your backlinks, like Shetoldme.com and Xomba, but earn adsense cash in the process.
   
   As I mentioned, I have been testing the water with this with another one of my online accounts... have had traffic and adsense clicks already. I suspect that it will be going in at PR3 or PR4 by the next Google update judging by the noises being created.
   
   Get your bookmarks in early to see the real benefit, I am suitably impressed enough to bookmark all of my hubs, which I will be working on now. If anybody else fancies giving it a go then either visit www.Snipsly.com.
   
   I am pretty gutted that this doesnt have a referral scheme, since I am the first person to mention this site on hubpages, I could have done well. But at least you know that I am recommending this site without any sort of financial motive!
   
   FORGOT TO ADD:- 80% Revenue Share! (How could I forget!)

      Hi, I just went into the site and clicked on one from hubpages just to see how it worked and it doesn't seem to back link properly, maybe you have to join to read it? I think people had better check it unless it is just my pc.

         you have to click on the link at the end of the description and it takes you to your hub.
         clicking on the title just refreshes. I did notice that someone is not editing their links properly. you have to open the Edit section to properly insert links.  I'm just putting a few in for now and will watch them for a while. It's very easy.

   I found that one the other night through an ad they had on Shetoldme.
   
   They offer an 80% revenue share.  I also looked high and low for a referral program, but I guess with 80% share there's not much left over.
   
   I am wondering, though, if they will not be taken over by spammers.  I intend to use them either way, and I actually like the Wordpress interface.

      Oops the 80% bit was crucial. I found them via Shetoldme.com too, I got really excited as we all know that UW has 80 referrals on shetoldme.com!
      
      Still, the interface on this site kicks backside - its awesome. Five times better than Xomba and Shetoldme.com. Lets just hope that it gets a decent page rank in the next update!

      Ryan or anyone, the other day I put my adsense code in and wondered if it worked, and it didn't. I got a prompt reply from snipsly today after I asked them about the ads.
      
      once I enter the code in the appropriate box, is there anything else I need to do? anything over at the google adsense site?

            is that all I need to do at google?  I just entered my code again into the snipsly site and when I hit save, nothing happens. it loads, but there is no message saying anything was saved. but my code still remains. when I got the reply from snipsly, he said, my code was not entered? so I wrote him again...

               I think so.  Give it a day or two and go back to look at your adsense reports to make sure impressions are being recorded.  If not, there may still be a problem.

    The way I look at it is this: you need backlinks to gain rankings and traffic.  If you happen to find a site willing to share their adsense revenue with you to post those backlinks there, then it is worth it.  It's like getting paid to eat vs. not...you have to do it anyway so why not get paid?

             I only put two spots up, one with three links about the taxis, and <whew> all the links are working. I think what maybe happened was I tried at first to just copy/paste the links, then realised when published that they didn't turn into hyperlinks, so I went back and did them properly. You probably looked when they were getting edited!
             I just can't remember if I remembered to put the URL trackers in! It's too late now, its after 2am. I'll check tomorrow and maybe link the rest up too. Thanks

       Kirsten, instead of using "check it out here" as your anchor text, it would work better if you use relevant keywords.  Either the same keyword phrase you are trying to rank for with your hub, or another related phrase.  So you could say "to learn more about how to carve wood visit me at HubPages." or something like that.

          Thanks for replying!
          I am a slow learner I think tho once I got it I definitely got it!
          I thought using the relevant keywords in the regular text was the thing, didn't realize that the link should also have the keywords or title. Fortunately it looks pretty easy to change. The ads did look very relevant right away so I was not worried about that, just wasn't sure if its a 'backlink' in the eyes of the all powerful google.

    A link is a link, but the anchor text helps. 
    
    Google "click here" and you will see what I mean.  That anchor text is used so much that Adobe Reader ranks #1 for it.

    Thank you Ryan.  Checking it out right now, and it looks pretty good.  Question:  For backlinks, is it best to use just the url, or is it okay to a tracker?

          I asked this question ages ago now, it seems anyway
          The answer I got is that a tracker links should work just as well as a straight url plus has the added bonus that you might get people to sign up if they like what they see and want to do the same. I cannot say that this is true but its what I was told so I usually do add the tracker

    I'm not sure my adsence code is set as every time I've checked, I don't see my code at the bottom. also my ads don't seem relevant even though I used key words. I'm seeing a lot of ads for breyer horses?? anyone else?

       Have you used keywords in the description? I think Sunforged mentioned that the 'three sentences' it describes are the text that trigger your keywords - not the title. Maybe try this, most of my ads appear to be relevant.

          I think they do, but perhaps I'll have to keep checking. do you think when it is their 20% time the ads change? this seems to be based out of the UK? I looked up breyer horses which comes from UK, model horses. do you think categories has anything to do with it? they're not quite as selective with topics. are u participating in the contest?

          ..the title works also - What I suggest and do with great results is writing only keywords as your copy- no fluff and pick the big guns (but keep it relevant)
          
          
          for example this thread, if i was to bookmark it
          
          run through adwords keyword tool (url) compose your blurb using only the top strings
          
          "Want to make quick cash with google adsense? Make money with adwords, make money with google or even google make money..than read this great thread that answers all your questions about quick cash with google adsense"
          
          
          that was an exaggerated example..but it is written with only $5+ keyword strings

                do you mean where you're in the writing mode?
                
                if so, just enter text into the quickpress and save draft then open edit and it will take you to the regular text box where you can edit.
                there may be an easier way to do it, but that's how I do it.

    it's so easy to post stuff there. it's just kind of lagging at the moment. i wonder if that's because there's a lot of traffic. anyway, i like it.

       so far I like it. I think it could actually be a bit more user friendly and maybe as it grows it will enhance some of its usability as far as getting around the site.
       
       I've had to contact them twice about a problem with my adsense, and I received prompt, detailed replies. That impressed me. I only have 5 articles linked. I see they have a winter contest going now for the most articles posted by midnight the 12th and you win $.

    Hey guys,
    I know this is an old thread, but I've just started out backlinking on Snipsly.
    
    So should I activate the box 'Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.' at the bottom of the page? And what does it mean? I read the explanation on the wordpress page they provide, but it is still a bit unclear to me.
    
    I also haven't figured out yet how to put in a link in a proper way. I can't copy and paste it anywhere...

    Ok, I figured out the link thing. Remains the question about the trackbacks and pingbacks. What are they, and do I activate them?
