So generally as a rule I don’t tend to ‘buy in’ to these types of sites, offering cash back deals for doing normal shopping.. However when I moved into my new apartment I wanted to switch energy providers, and I new that Quidco had an offer of £80 cash back to switch to one of the major providers. So I thought I really have nothing to loose. I went ahead with the switch, honestly thinking nothing would come of it – and I have recently received my £80 cash back. That’s right.. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it honestly did work. Granted it took ages for the claim to process… But it’s £80 for doing nothing I wasn’t doing anyway!
Last night I did some online shopping, and then checked Quidco for a voucher code, sure enough there was one – I used that and got a percentage of my spend back. Again I was buying the items anyway – so it made sense to use it.
Unlike the recent internet boom of Groupon, Quidco offers savings on day to day items. Check it out, you’ve nothing to loose!
As an avid ‘blogger’ and internet user, I am always mystified by the complexity behind some affiliate schemes and advertising programs. Even programs such as Google’s AdWords can often be complicated to maintain and implement.
Although I am not a huge fan of advertising banners littered all over blogs, I understand people would like to try and convert some of there sites visits to something tangible. I myself have tried implementing many referral and advertising banner systems.
Referral systems often require long, drawn out complex forms to be completed and as a rule the payouts are very minimal. Also – if (like mine) your blogsites content varies between categoriesproductssuppliers etc signing up to new referral’s all the time can be time consuming.
Equally with banner add’s, you often find the ‘key word’ lookup leads to mis placed banners. For example, when I used to use a very popular banner solution and ended up with ad’s for ladies underwear scattered around a blog post about design software. Which isn’t ideal and is unlikely to get any/many click throughs.
After my sites revamp, I dropped all presence of banner ad’s and have not bothered with referral sites for sometime. Until recently, I stumbled acrossSkimlinks.
You may have seen Skimlinks in action on sites such as T3, basically with a tiny bit a javascript code inserted into the code of your site, Skimlinks pics out the names of it’s affiliates and external links you have to their sites and converts them to referral links. That’s right… You don’t have to paste in any referral links or change any of your already typed out content. Within minutes of setting up an account and inserting the JavaScript into your site, all of you existing links will be converted! Seriously… That’s all there is to it!!
The links on your site will not look any different to your sites visitors, with the small exception of the link ‘bouncing’ through a ‘redirectingat.com’ subdomain. The redirect is speedy and almost invisible to the untrained eye. However, if you’d prefer to keep all the redirect work ‘in house’ the Skimlinks control panel gives you access to all the information you need in order to setup your own subdomain.
So.. What are you waiting for, stop wasting all that potential referral profit and sign up today on the Skimlinks website.
Back in April I blogged about GarageBuy the ultimate all in one local eBay shopping tool. Well at the opposite end of the auction process, GarageSale offers to be the all in one eBay auction tool.
I know, there’s always at least one post claiming to make you money on every forum you visit. Well I have been a member of this one for just over a week and already my points are starting to add up.
| Ever wondered how you could transform the miles you travel into cash in your account. Well, now you can with Navizon rewards.
When you use Navizon with a GPS device, every Wi-Fi access point and Cell tower that you pass by will be logged and turned into points on your account. 15 points for each cellular tower If they have already been mapped by someone else Once you have 10,000 points, you can redeem them for a reward, and $10 will be wired to your Paypal account (minus the Paypal fee in the amount of $0.19). Note: You may also choose to redeem a reward for a free upgrade to Navizon Premium. The idea is fairly simple: some users who have GPS enabled phones, or a standalone GPS device map the wireless landscape (ie. the location of Cell towers and Wi-Fi Access Points) wherever they go, so that other users who don’t have GPS will be able to use a positioning system that works independent of GPS. Instead, location is achieved by triangulating those same Wi-Fi and/or Cellular signals, whose location is now known thanks to the “mappers.” Like in every community, there are the people who do the work and others who benefit from it. So users who don’t want to map any points, but still want the full featured version of Navizon, need to buy it. But the money is not going in our pockets, it is going in the pockets of those who make Navizon possible, by mapping the wireless landscape wherever they go. |
