I tried out Adsense revenue sharing sites for link building recently. The sites that I used are Triond, Snipsly, Xomba and Wikinut (not exactly Adsense sharing, it is a revenue sharing site). These are the newer sites, on top of Hubpages. In term of traffic, Xomba is the worst. There is hardly any reader there. Triond is good. The only thing I hate is the slow loading speed. I have suggested to take out Kontera to increase loading speed. Wikinut is new with good potential. The owner apparently knows how to design the website. As a new site, Wikinut has more traffic than Triond or Xomba. All these four websites allow me to add an author's resource. Since there is no author's resource box, I just add a paragraph with links to both my blogs. That is how I can get links to my blogs. Triond requires unique content. Once you upload the articles there, you can submit the same articles to other websites. Triond, Xomba and Wikinut have referral program as well. I use the same id on all the different websites. You can search for my id, scheng1, to see my writer resource at the end of the articles. The links are showing up in the Google Webmaster report. I have not checked to see if these are dofollow or nofollow. I think using Adsense revenue sharing sites is a better idea for link building than to submit articles to article directories. In term of click through rate, article directories are definitely better. What do you think of this method?
I think you're right. I mean, why submit to an article directory where you aren't making any money off of your posts? I do think that it's important to post on a number of sites and write unique content on each, otherwise Google will pick up on what you're doing (i think). Some people just copy and paste their content all over the place, but it's much more beneficial to just write original content for each place you post. That will really help.
I agree with this. When trying to promote my tech site I really begrudged writing articles for free for article submission sites. I didn't find out about these revenue sharing sites until recently which is a bit annoying really. It has prompted me to relaunch my under promoted first site as a revenue share site though, as I had kind of given up on trying to coerce people to submit content for free. Take a look if you like at howto-guidebook.com - be gentle with me though i've only been making my own websites for just over a year! Feel free to submit an article while you're there- i'm trying out 80% author share for a year and all links are dofollow. Traffic and PR aren't great though but that's the reason i've joined this forum after all! I've got big plans for this site I just need a few tips.
Link building is an added bonus of adsense revenue sharing sites. So make sure you dont use the same title/description as your original articles.
Are you aware of any cases where one's adsense account has been banned because of one's participation on a site that uses revenue sharing? I'm mostly thinking of situations where Google decides (for whatever reason) that this particular site is suspect (perhaps because of the shady ways its users might use to promote their content, etc.). Would it be reasonable to worry that this may result in trouble for your adsense account even if you personally haven't done anything questionable yourself (other than participating on a site that Google then decides as questionable)?
I've been doing adsense revenue sharing sites since early 2006 and I've never read something like you mention Quidditas. I believe if the site has a problem, then ads will be disabled on this site, so no one, including the webmaster, will be able to display adsense on this site anymore. But the acccounts will still be valid. At least that's what happened to one of my sites in the past. I made an adsense revenue sharing site which in my mind was a digg + adsense so I called it adsensigg.com and I started using it for about 6 months before ads have been disabled on the site because the domain name was too close to "adsense" a trademark from Google. So no adsense where shown, but no account has been banned.
