Simpy is profitable! Profitable? Yes, profitable for its members! I want to give something back. I've been running Simpy for several years now, and I've decided to give something back to people who make Simpy what it is. Call it a late New Year's present.
Starting today, every Simpy member has the ability to carry advertising on their Simpy pages, and take 100% of whatever he/she earns!
Starting today, every Simpy member has the ability to carry advertising on their Simpy pages, and take 100% of whatever he/she earns!
How it works:
Simpy has support for Google AdSense as a third party. Each Simpy member has his/her main page on Simpy (e.g. http://www.simpy.com/user/masudbcl ). Every Simpy member can now enter his/her Google AdSense Id into Simpy, and his/her page will immediately start showing ads with his/her Id. All earnings from such ads go to members, as their Ids are used to display ads. The same may soon start happening on the search results page, and on the user profile page, once that is ready. Your page, your data, your ads, your money.
Not everyone (anyone?) is a big fan of advertising, and I don't really want to further clutter the UI, especially when there is so much available and interesting data to show. Luckily, I think I have a solution that will make most people happy, and that solution is as follows:
Logged in Simpy members do not see any ads (not theirs, not other users'). Only visitors or logged out users see ads. As soon as they log in, the ads are gone. My hope is that by using this approach I will not annoy Simpy's members, and at the same time allow them to earn free money.
This is all it takes:
Log in to Simpy Enter your AdSense Id (on the third party page) Log out and check out your Simpy page The AdSense with your Id should be shown. Whenever a person sees an ad or clicks on it, the money goes to your AdSense account (because your Id is associated with that ad). Money is made through both impressions and clicks.
Here are some "Potentially Frequently Asked Questions":
Q: Will I be seeing ads on Simpy from now on?
A: No, you will not. Logged in Simpy members will not see ads! Just make sure to tell Simpy to remember you for a while when you log in.
Q: Who sees my ads on Simpy?
A: Logged out visitors see your ads. Other logged in Simpy members do not see your ads, just like you don't see their ads when you are logged in.
Q: Can I promote my Simpy page?
A: The more visitors see and click your ads, the better for you. Of course, don't click your own ads, and follow AdSense Terms of Service. Similarly, don't abuse Simpy, and follow its Terms of Service.
Q: Do I have to have a blog or a web site to make money via Simpy?
A: No, you do not need to have a blog nor a web site. You only need to: Be or become a Simpy member (here) Enter your AdSense Id in Simpy (here)
Q: What's in it for Simpy?
A: A few things: Simpy may use a fall-back AdSense Id to display ads for users who didn't claim their ads. The joy of sharing and giving back to Simpy members, and at the same time avoiding annoyance with ads by not showing them to members.
