Getting More From the Content You Create:Qondio

For anyone who is working online to promote something or someone, they know about the many hours that go into creating unique and useful content. Luckily in recent years, free content sites have sprung up to give us a forum for getting our work published and in front of an audience. Some of these sites, such as Bukisa, offer users a portion of the AdSense revenue that such content brings in and potentially offer writers the ability to syndicate their content. Other sites may pay a nominal fee up front for the content that is submitted. The income earned in either situation is seldom sufficient to support a writer, but it is certainly useful in squeezing just a bit more out of those many hours of labor.

I want to tell you a bit about one of the sites that I have used over the past year.  You probably aren't as familiar with it as many of the more popular ones such as e-How, Associated Content, Hubpages, or Squidoo. This may be due in part to the fact that the site no longer offers rewards for recruiting others.  Because of this, the usual barrage of recruiting information isn't being broadcast by hundreds of eager writers already on the site. I'm going to tell you about it basically because I think it offers something valuable and because the more people involved on the site, the better it works for everyone.

Qondio.com was formerly known as Qassia. What it offers users is:

-- the ability to promote as many websites or webpages as they wish

-- the ability to do this without reciprocal linking

-- the ability to add content on nearly any topic and of any length that is unique and useful (barring the usual topics such as hate, pornography, and so forth)

-- the ability to gain "dofollow" links to their websites and webpages

-- the ability to receive 100% ad share from the 5 ad spaces on each page of content they submit

Qondio members add their website/pages one at a time. No reciprocal link is required although their page must be verified by placing a verification code on the page momentarily.  Once this is done, their page or site will be listed in the Qascade directory.  How high it will rank, is dependent upon the number of reward points assigned to it.

Members earn reward points by either submitting content, known as "intel", or for reviewing intel submitted by others. Yes, Qondio, has 12 individuals review every piece of content to assure it doesn't violate their terms (no porn, no hate, and so forth) and to give the content a rating. The number of reward points given for a piece of intel is based upon it's rating and length. Content is accepted regardless of length, but clearly more points are given for longer articles. Members can determine how many of their reward points are assigned to any given website/page that they have placed in the directory, which then determines how high it ranks within the directory.

With each intel, members can add links ("nofollow") to external pages if desired. In addition, they can associate one of their websites/pages with each intel and receive a "do follow" link to it in the form of a screen shot at the bottom of that intel.

Revenue sharing on Qondio is 100%, in addition, users don't merely get AdSense Revenue Sharing.  They can also make use of AdBrite, FairADsNetwork, Linkshare, or ClickBank in the advertising space on their intel. In other words, members can choose the ads that they feel will work best for the content that they create. Qondio uses uniQlicks to place these ads based upon a member's preferences. 

Clearly, there are many good content sites online and each of them offers advantages. Qondio offers the highest percentage in revenue sharing and the greatest ad flexibility as well as "dofollow" links to give your sites/pages more authority as viewed by search engines. In the hectic world of internet marketing, finding sites that allow you to get the most for the content you create is key and Qondio might be a good complement to the other sites you use.
