No. As much as we would love to promote the site through incentives… We gotta pay the bills. And we don’t mean Starbucks. With an 80/20 split, there just isn’t much room for referrals. Hosting, coding, etc. These things cost money. We will try to give back to the community through contests.

Snipsly sends out about 1 email per month. This email contains information about making your posts better, making more money, contests, or other fun information. If at any time you do not wish to receive these emails you can simply click the “unsubscribe” link contained in the e-mail.

Categories help to keep our site organized and help users find the content they are looking for. Whenever you create an article can select a category for it to belong to. When you are posting, you will see the category option on the right hand side of the screen. Click the box next to the category you wish to attach your post to.

You will need to create an account with Google Adsense first. After you apply your AdSense ID to your Snipsly account, ads that show will be split among Snipsly and the user”s AdSense ID based on a 20/80 split. So 80% of the time it is a users advertising code. We only show advertisements 20% of the time.

AdSense is a free way to earn revenue online. After you sign up for AdSense and apply your AdSense ID to your Snipsly account, Google will automatically display targeted ads on your posts. Each ad has a specific value, and every ad click adds money to your earnings! Find out more about AdSense.

Yes! You just have to apply your Publisher ID from your AdSense account to your Snipsly account.

Signing up for AdSense is easy. Find out more about signing up for AdSense here.

Log in to your Snipsly account. Then, click on the “My Advertising” tab on your Snipsly dashboard and enter your Publisher ID into the AdSense ID field.

At the moment, Snipsly only offers Google AdSense. However, we are always looking to improve the site for our users, so that may change in the future.

Snipsly articles tend to rank relatively well, but you can always use Search Engine Optimization techniques to boost your search result ranking. Check out our Tutorials page for more information.

Easy! Sign up for an account. Once you are signed up and logged in you can easily post new items and create a user profile. If you want to show advertisements you will need to sign up for a Google Adsense account.

On Snipsly, you can write about virtually anything as long as it does not violate our rules. You can post informational articles, product reviews, poetry, artwork, long articles, short articles? pretty much whatever you would like! Your articles must be unique content. Articles must be at least three sentences, but we encourange users to write more. We also have recommendations about what to write about.

You cannot write content which violates Snipsly’s rules. To give a brief rundown, you are not allowed to post: plagiarized content, articles shorter than 3 sentences, articles which contain only keywords and no real content, adult oriented content (anything of a sexually explicit nature), material that is obscene, hateful, inflammatory or racist, links to gambling, pornography, illegal activities, or illegal content, excessively repetitive keywords or content, content written in any language other than English.

No. You cannot post any content that you has been posted elsewhere on the web, Posting duplicate content will only hurt your articles. All articles are checked for plagiarism. If you submit more than 2 duplicate articles your account will be suspended and you must contact support@Snipsly.com to reactivate it.

If your articles are no longer publishing then your account was most likely suspended for submitting duplicate content. Please contact support@Snipsly.com for reactivation.

If your posts are not displaying after you post them, two things could be happening.

1. We have filters to instantly weed out articles relating to adult content. Sometimes, while you may not have intended for your article to be considered “adult,” the use of certain words may have led your post to be filtered.

2. Your status has been changed to contributor and requires a moderator’s approval before it appears on the site.
If you feel as though your post was incorrectly filtered, e-mail us at support@snipsly.com

Displaying YouTube videos on Snipsly is fairly easy. All you need to do is paste in the URL to the video you would like to show; and add a “v” after http.

So the URL would look like this:

httpv://youtube.com/……

Three sentences should be the minimum post size. Articles can be of varying lengths but it seems that the Search Engines prefer longer articles. All posts should be coherent and written by you. We will judge all articles, short or long, by the validity of their content.

An important optimization tip is to avoid “keyword stuffing”. If you overload keywords, or add irrelevant ones, the search engines may ban your articles.

Link are critical and we know you need them. They also add weight in the search engines.

A common mistake is to try to create a link from Quick Post box on the Dashboard page. You can’t.

Instead you will need to create a New Post either from the top bar or the right menu. Above the text editor you will see a standard hyperlink symbol. You just need to highlight the text to be linked, click on the hyperlink symbol and add your link.

If you have a copyright infringement claim, simply contact us and we will do our best to rectify the issue. We do not tolerate plagiarism.

You do! We do not seek ownership and you have the right to edit, change, or delete your content at any time.

If you find that your account has been switched to “Contributor” status it is a result of our editorial process. We most likely found your articles to either not be unique, posted multiple times, habitually lacking sufficient content, or breaking one of Snipsly?s other Rules. You can still post from “Contributor” status, but all of your posts must be approved by a moderator.

We try hard to provide only well written and unique content which does not infringe on copyright ownership.
