Usercash: An Easy Way to Make Money Online through Links

Usercash is a website that allows one to earn revenue by adding simple ad banners or landing pages on links that you use in forums, blogs or websites.

Here’s an excerpt from their website:

Do you want to make EXTRA revenue while people are leaving your website without annoying them? Just add a simple code to your website and all your outgoing links will be converted into paying links on the fly, pointing to the old URL.

This will not make your website load slower in any way, links are automatically converted after your website is completely loaded. The only difference in your links is that there is added a banner on top, this banner will make you money!

• Extra revenue without annoying your visitors.
• Advanced statistics can be checked 24 hours a day.
• Get paid within 7 days after the end of the month.
• We pay you through paypal, e-gold and epassporte.
• Make $$ out of links posted by other people instantly.

DOSH DOSH REVIEW

I’ve been using UserCash for almost three months already. Now the question you would wanna know is how much did I make from it? As of today, US $6.84.

A tiny amount, just barely enough for bagel, soup and coffee. I haven’t been using the program consistently but I do find it to be effective in some way. Transforming links is very easy to do and the ad banners aren’t too aggressive and irritating to the eye.

Here’s how I used it:
- Wrapping links to websites and posting them on blogs and forums
- Wrapping image and BB tags when sharing images and giving them to friends or forums
- Transforming all the links on an entire blog to paying links

The Ads are divided in two types: Top frames and landing frames. Top frames pay out less, $1 for every 9999 clicks and landing frames pay out more, $1 for every 3999 clicks. (You’ll get 60 to 70% of this payout rate, depending on the origins of your traffic.)

Why the difference? Top frames are non-invasive and appear on the top of your link, while landing frames lead a ad which you can choose to ignore, before proceeding to view the original link.

Both types can easily be seen in the following examples. Click on each to see how the adverts are added on top of the normal link.

As you can see, just plug in a link and you’re good to go! Usercash’s website essentially follows a back to basics design. While it isn’t that attractive, it is functionally easy to use and doesn’t have any extra bells or whistles that detract from its main function of converting links.

Like most other money-making programs, Usercash is Europe and US-centric, meaning that the earning rate varies. The more people from the U.K, U.S, Canada and Europe click on your clicks, you’ll earn more, as opposed to clicks from Asia.

I personally don’t really care about this factor, but I do suppose you’ll do much better by utilizing UserCash in American or European forums and social websites.

Summary

What’s Cool.

• Payout is available via paypal. And yes, they do pay!
• Excellent if you do a lot of picture posting in forums
• Payout rate is set at a low US $5.
• Easy to use and real-time tracking is helpful for obsessive-types.

What’s Not.

• Ads may irritate blog and forum readers
• Low earning potential. You really don’t earn much unless a LOT of people use your links.
• Might not be very useful unless you own a high traffic website or share links frequently.

Conclusion

I do believe that UserCash works best if you’re actually a intensive forum user, where you actively participate a great deal of forums or social websites.

I don’t think it really fits with personal blogs as the ads do somewhat detract from the stylistic feel or even sincerity of a blog. But then again, if you have an aggressive commercial weblog, Usercash will probably fit right in. I personally don’t mind the use of top frames but landing frames can get downright irritating.

My suggestion and observation: Usercash works best when you are sharing images on forums or websites. These images should be thumbnails where one needs to click on it for a clearer view.

I’ve noticed that a lot of heavy users utilize UserCash in combination with the sharing of pictures of celebrities, wallpapers and quite commonly, porn. If you’re into all that, UserCash would probably be a godsend.
