PR WEB -- May 18 -- RateItAll.com social network and review community has leveraged the latest Google Adsense API to enable revenue sharing for its contributing members. Members earn cash for using adding listings, creating a profile with a photo, and referring new members. FULL ARTICLE @ PR WEB
Mark Brooks: Buy.com tried luring users/business in with a social network called yub.com, paying commission on sales to members. Nice try. However, 'connectors' won't connect en masse when there's a real and apparent commercial agenda.
Looks like another case of unnatural community building. Besides wanting to generate some useless content in order to get a cut of AdSense revenue (which isn't far removed from the splogs we all hate) why would a visitor want to come to the site? Where's the legitimate traffic going to be coming from?
Epinion's similar model doesn't really seem to be doing that well from what I can tell.
