Linkbucks is a free service that pays web users for the links they share. They have sponsorship deals with top advertisers that allow them to display their ads when visitors are linked to a page.

For example, lets say you are trying to get people to sign up on your favorite ptc site. You are posting your referral link on forums and blogs, and so on. What linkbucks can do is make sure you earn something every time someone clicks on that link.

What you would do is take the link that you want people to click on, lets say your wordlinx referral link, and you would let linkbucks put a frame on this page and display a ad. Need a example? See how I put my wordlinx referral link through linkbucks in the example below.

You can do this with blogs and any website. We would recommend using the top-banner ad. If you use the intermission ad it will cause the page to break out of frame and some traffic exchange sites do not accept frame breakers. See image for more details

We are moving linkbucks.com from our Legit list to the Elite List. Site has been online and paying for over 2 years without any major problems. Here are the pros and cons of linkbucks:


PROS:

1. Forum - This site does have a forum. Forums are great for communication between members and staff. Members can post payment proofs, get support, and stay updated on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here: http://forums.linkbucks.com/


2. Paying - They are paying and payment proofs can be found on the forum and throughout the web. We were paid as well. Here are a few places where you can view these proofs:

3. Unlimited Direct Referrals - There are no limits on how many referrals you can have. Great for promoters and those who can refer a lot of people. 

4. All Countries Accepted - Where paypal and EPassPorte is accepted. If your links have characters that are not from the English alphabet then your link might not work. I have seen where some Chinese users claim the Chinese characters don't work with linkbucks.

5. Instant Payments - A great option for any site to have. No more waiting days or weeks for something you rightfully earned. First payment might be audited, however the payments thereafter will be instant. 

6. Established - Linkbucks was started in late 2005 and has been online and paying ever since then.

CONS:

1. Is it worth it? - Some claim you can make more with submitting your link to others sites like "Digg" and other link providers. I say what can it hurt? It doesn't take much of your time and if you have your link to your site in your signature on forums then why not earn from every click when someone clicks on your link?

2. Annoying ads? - My advise is to stay away from the pop ups and the intermission ads selection. I like the top frame ad cause it isn't as annoying. If you use the pop up ad in your link submission it can turn people away. They do say that it will earn you more money to use the pop up and intermission ad, but if your audience might not appreciate having pop-ups when they click on your link then perhaps you should stay away from using that type of ad.

3. Slows Down Your Site - If you elect to have a "full page script" ad on your site, it might slow down your site's load time. Especially if you already have a lot of java script on your site. Which is why we are no longer showing linkbucks full page ads on our site.

 Summary:

We feel LinkBucks is a safe and paying site to use. If you are looking at others ways to make extra money, this would be a great choice. Be careful with how you put your links out there. Don't end up spamming people for the sake of making a fraction of a cent. This program would be great for blogger and web site owners to help pay for their time blogging and other expenses.
