So, Forget What I Said About Qassia Being A Waste Of Time

Well, it's been a while since I revued the site Qassia, which was all the rage on the Etsy forums back in February. (Read my revues here.) If you recall, I pretty much dismissed the site as a waste of time. But I kept logging in just about daily as part of my morning internet routine, and amassing more Qassia Dollars. And I noticed that my website, SoloArtworks.com is now ranked the highest in the jewelry category! So I guess it wasn't a total waste of time, since I am seeing hits every day from Qassia.com, which I find pretty cool. Qassia.com, is still in a locked beta and closed to the public, but you can sign up using any user referral.

My Last Qassia Post - Conclusion

In case you don't know what Qassia is, you can read my earlier two posts about it here: Qassia, and Qassia Continued.

I've earned enough Qassia Dollars to get my link on the top 50 on left hand side of their front page for the last 5 days. I had it directed to my dot-com website because I have very in-depth tracking and can see where all my traffic comes from. And the results?

In the last 5 days, my website had recieved 585 new unique visitors. Number of hits from Qassia?

So, I know that the site is still in beta testing, and hasn't actually gone live yet, but I feel like I've wasted more than enough time on there for now. Thank you for reading!

Qassia Continued

So I spent some time on Qassia today and here is the dish:

You are there to earn Qassia Dollars (Q$). For each of your websites you submit, you can allocate a percentage of your Q$ to advertise that site. For instance, I listed several links to pages of mine, but allocated 100% of my advertising Q$ to SoloArtworks.com, because it has very in-depth tracking and I will be able to see any results tomorrow morning. Supposedly the more Q$ you have for one website, the higher it will rank on their directory. (The website is still in beta mode, so the directory is not avalable yet to see this in action.)

How do you earn Qassia Dollars? Well, the best is by referring a new user. They have to sign up and click on their confirmation link sent to their e-mail. I was amazed but in the last few hours 12 people have signed up from reading my last blog post!

Another way to earn Qassia Dollars is to write "intel". This is a squidoo lens kind of thing, where you can write an article. About anything. Kind of dumb, but you earn Q$ for each one you post.

I've read a ton of these "intel"s today and most of them are completely uninteresting - but! -- You also earn a couple Qassia Dollars for screening them. So do this a lot, and you can really build up your Q$!

So basically, its a free site that hopefully will get my site link high up on a directory listing. If you have some spare time, come sign up.
