The Biggest Challenge
If you are serious about making an income from the internet your single biggest challenge is getting traffic to your websites. You can have the best content known to man but if you don't have people viewing it it's all but worthless. This is every online worker's worst nightmare, and many have failed online because of this very reason. However if you use the proper venues and stick with them they MUST pay off eventually. One such venue is Qassia, and a very good one at that.

Why Qassia?
The main feature of Qassia is to help you create an unlimited amount of backlinks to your sites which of course increases your traffic. In the end it's all about traffic, and most online professionals give up before they have overcame this most important hurdle. Almost anyone can be succesful online if they have sufficient traffic to their sites.I say this because most people have a certain area of expertise which they can use to create decent content, but very few people is really skilled at driving quality traffic to their websites. Of course you can always pay for traffic, given that you can afford it, but that doesn't guarentee that your visitors will actaully be interested in your content.
Therefor the best traffic comes form people that has actually searched you out, because they will likely return to your site again and again. Qassia is a terrific platform where you can create unlimited backlinks by writing articles. A backlink is a link from your website that appears on another website. Simple as that.
Why are backlinks important? The more backlinks you have to your website the higher your website ranks in the search engines. This is because search enigines use backlinks as one of the most important factors when determining it's search engine ranking. And of course search engine ranking is of utmost importance if you want to get lots of traffic to your website.
How Qassia Works
Qassia is mainly about creating content in the form of articles to which you can link your websites. The content is called intel, and for every piece of intel you create you receive one backlink. Of course this backlink you can link to any site you choose as long as the site is authenticated at Qassia.To authenticate a website at Qassia is a pretty straight forward process, they give you a code which you put on your website which can be invisible or visible in the form of a small sticker. To get credit for intel it must be submitted first and screened by ten people after which it will receive a grade. Depending on the grade you wil receive a certain amount of Qassia dollars.
The amount of dollars you have accumulated is called your total assets and the more assets you have, the higher you rank in Qassia which gives you a better chance of getting found by other members and getting more traffic. Qassia dollars can also be earned through referring other members, screening intel and putting the Qassia sticker on your website.
The amount of sites you can authenticate and link to at Qassia are unlimited and so is the amount of intel and therefor backlinks you can create. You can direct all your intel to one site or spread it over many different sites. An important thing to remember though is that when you link intel to your site the content of your intel and your site should coincide.
This is because the search enigines uses spiders, crawlers, etc to determine whether the site from which the backlink comes is relevant to where it points and ranks your website accordingly. So this is very important to remember. When Qassia is understood and used accordingly it is truly an awesome resource. This is why i have gone into so much detail here about the workings of it.
Already this should give you a head start when starting to use Qassia, when i started out i had no idea of how valuable a recource it could be. A final word of advice when using Qassia is to be patient. This is not some get traffic quick scheme, it does require a certian amount of work and patience. But when you write articles about things that interest you it can be fun and an awesome way to get your websites found.
And if this isn't enough you can even earn with Qassia. All you do is submit your Adsense publishers id and you'll be paid when people click on Adsense ads that will be displayed on your Qassia page. This can become a good earner when your assets start increasing and you rank high in Qassia.
