Snipsly.com - Make Money From Your Bookmarks!

Those of you who publish on this site may have seen my recent forum thread regarding a new site called 'Snipsly'. If you haven't, then read on. Snipsly is the latest in a new generation of bookmarking sites which offer to split it's Adsense advertising revenue with the sites users, in this case an extremely generous 80% of all impressions, as well as allowing you to submit links to your own content. For publishers and developers the most important characteristic of the site is that all submitted links are 'dofollow' meaning that Google and other search engines will take them into consideration when making their regular page rank changes. If you want your content on the first page of google, for important keyword phrases, then you are going to need to build up these dofollow backlinks - it is that simple.

The greatest thing about Snipsly is its excellent Wordpress interface, making bookmarking an easy and efficient process for the majority of Internet users; an additional mention should probably be afforded to the great first impression that I have of the sites owner Austin Hardwick - who seems both energetic and passionate about the project and who is himself an online publisher. He has promised to remember that 'Hubbers' are the best bunch on the net, and will look after us all accordingly! Personally I think that it's great to have a fellow writer running one of these sites, particularly considering some recent difficulties experienced by many people with Xomba, and I both hope yet expect that Snipsly will build itself a great web presence over the first quarter of 2010 and beyond. One thing worth noting is that Snipsly has no referral scheme, although this has been explained by Mr Hardwick who said "There is no referral program because there simply isn't room for it". Of course, the 80% of impressions more than makes up for this for the user, particularly when compared to the 50% offered by Xomba, but a referral scheme can be the making of the site - hopefully word of mouth will be effective enough to drive the participation. Well, I have done my bit, go and do yours!

The other sites currently offering bookmarking under an Adsense revenue sharing model include SheToldMe and Xomba, and I would recommend that Bloggers and content developers use all three of these sites for each page of their online content - I am currently in the process of doing so and have seen some fantastic results in the short term. It is however the long term results which really matter, particularly when considering that Snipsly is still a Page Rank 0 website. It will be just a few months before Snipsly is likely to realise a PR3 or PR4 status just like SheToldMe, making your early efforts well worthwhile.
