Ad Revenue Sharing

Qassia is not a knowledge base, but we rely on the same user contribution principle, since our bread and butter is the accumulation and amalgamation of intel. And sites that rely on user contributions are expected to compensate their contributors. While our primary way of rewarding content is with backlinks and exposure for users’ websites, we also share advertising revenues with our users.So how much do you get?

Some knowledge bases split net advertising income 40/60 in their favor, after deducting operating expenses such as server costs. Others, trying to capitalize on user resentment against those first mentioned, split gross revenue 50/50, before deducting expenses.

But at Qassia, you get no less than 100 percent of gross advertising revenue. That means you get ALL of it. Sound great? Or sound fishy? Don’t worry – at Qassia we don’t even get involved in the filthy business of touching money in the first place. The ad revenue goes straight from the advertising company to you.

How does this work?

It’s very simple. We run Google Adsense ads. When your user page or intel is displayed, the Google ad is run using your account number. That means you own the ad, and we don’t even know how many times it gets clicked on or how much it generates. You can check these stats yourself by logging into your Google Adsense account, with which we have nothing to do. The revenue from your ads at Qassia will be right there, alongside your other ad revenue (if you also run ads on your own sites). When the time comes to get paid, Google pay you directly.

Simple, isn’t it? The best solutions always are. This elegant arrangement ensures that everyone, including Qassia, benefits, because we believe in the curious Eastern notion that by taking less, we will gain more.
