Making money with LinkShowOff

In my eternal quest to make this site profitable I'm trialling a new program called LinkShowOff

The LinkShowOff program allows you to run a simple javascript based widget on your site (eg. your blog's side bar) and earn money when someone purchases a link in your widget. LinkShowOff is said to be Google safe as all links sold are 'nofollow' as per Google's guidelines.

You can set the price per link to your liking, however the lowest you can set it at is $1. I've decided to leave my price at the lowest possible for the time being at least in order to gauge demand.

For bloggers, LinkShowOff is a good option as they allow all sorts of blogs, including those hosted by blogger (eg. blogspot), into their network. As they say, "as long as you can add a JavaScriptwidget to your website, you can use LinkShowOff".

For potential advertisers LinkShowOff is worth investigating because the system allows advertisers to buy link spots without the need to go through any sort of registration process.

Here are some of the key FAQ's from the LinkShowOff website 

How long do links stay on the widget?

Links stay on the widget forever until they are bumped off by newer links. For example, if you set a max amount of five links on your widget and you achieve that number, the next link bought will take the place of the first link, the first link will be bumped down to the second link, and so on. The fifth link would be removed overall from the widget.

    Are there any fees or revenue sharing?

    We charge a small fixed transaction fee of $3 on every payout made monthly to our widget users, but that’s it. For example, if you earn a total sum of $100, you will be paid $97.

    What are the payment methods?

    All payments will be made by Paypal.

    What's the minimum payout limit?

    The minimum payout limit is $10.

    Is there any referral system?

    Yes, you will get $3 for every referral that earns $3.

Another good reason to register your blog with LinkShowOff is that upon registration you get a free link in the LinkShowOff directory. The directory is free from the 'nofollow' tag so it's a nice little bonus for those that are link obsessed.

I've only had the widget live for less than 24 hours, so it's early days at the moment. If you'd like to check out LinkShowOff, register your website here
