- You will need to create an account with Google Adsense first. Google will give you a Publisher ID number. In your account you can click on the "My Advertising" tab inside your Snipsly account and enter your Publisher ID into the ID field.
The ads that show will be split among Snipsly and the users Publisher ID numbers 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. - How Do I Post on Snipsly?
- 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.
- How Long Should My Posts Be?
- 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. - I am having problems creating links in my posts.
- 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. - Is there a Referral Program?
- 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.
