Adjix.com - Both an ad network and a service that pays people to shorten Web links. (For Only U.S)

What is Adjix?

Adjix is both an ad network and a service that pays people to shorten Web links.

For example, you can turn this link:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=san&daddr=I-5+N+%4032.864810,+-117.229790+to:32.91…
into this link:
http://adjix.com/rf57

How does Adjix work?
People who shorten links, called linkers, can earn money when using Adjix. Adjix places an ad at the top of each page, when a link is shortened, without altering the orginal content. Advertisers can launch online ad campaigns on Adjix and be up and running in minutes.

For example, the following link was shortened using Adjix. Note the Adjix ads streaming into the top of page:

How can Adjix afford to pay me to create a link?
Simple, when a linker shrinks a link we place a small ad at the top of the Web page. Linkers share in the ad revenues with Adjix while advertisers get well placed ads.

What’s so special about Adjix ads?
The key advantage of Adjix ads is that they are displayed, at the top of each Web page, until a new URL is entered in your browser. In other words, if a person clicks on an Adjix link, and then spends several minutes clicking on other links on the destination Web site, the Adjix ad will be displayed at the top of the Web page the entire time - even when the user scrolls down the page.

Are ads random?
That’s up to the linker and advertiser. When advertisers create ad campaigns, they choose an ad category for each ad. Linkers can assign an ad category when they shrink a link that best matches the Web page content.

How much can I earn shrinking links?
That depends on how many people click on your links or click through the ads. Linkers earn $0.10/1000 unique link views (10 cents CPM per unique link impressions) and $0.20 for each valid, unique, click-through. Compare these earnings with most any other “link shrinker” - they don’t payout a penny. With Adjix, when people forward news articles, online videos, or most anything else they can get paid.  Learn more

How much does it cost me to advertise on Adjix?
Advertisers can place ads for $0.35 per 1000 ad impressions (35 cents CPM for ad impressions) and $0.75 per valid click-through. Additionally, advertisers can review ad reports to detect click-fraud. Advertisers can create their ad campaigns for free and when they’re ready to go live they can just ad funds into their account. At any time they can turn ad campaigns on and off to test what works best.   Learn more

Is Adjix available outside the U.S.?
Not yet. Adjix is currently in beta testing and available only in the United States during the beta testing period. We fully intend to expand internationally as soon as possible.
