Hey, get over there and sign up! You get to promote your Squidoo lens or any other site you own or are associated with. Hurry, go there now. Promote your site at Qassia.

Qassia is fantastic because you get credit for sharing your intelligence. The more credit you earn, the better your websites will rank. And you get a backlink to your website for every intel you add - only Qassia gives you unlimited quality backlinks.

Intel is intelligence, i.e. any tidbit of information. Intel can be a detailed and lengthy academic treatise. But more often it will be just one paragraph with some information only a few people know about. You can write intel in any style you like, and your intel will not get edited by anyone except you. Users may add intel about anything, irrespective of what their websites are about.

Intel can be about a person, a company, a place, a thing, or just about anything. The idea is to create a fabric of intelligence stretching coast to coast, covering the society we live in. This will help people who search for information about potential employers, about people they are about to meet, about places they are going to visit.

Qassia

1. Refer a friend to Qassia. When someone signs up via your user page, you get credit once the user validates his/her email. Right now we are on an upward growth trajectory, and are giving away insanely huge commissions. Note that these "Gold Rush" rates won't last forever.

* 12 hours - for 12 hours after you yourself signed up, get an incredible Q$500 per signup.
* 24 hours - for the following 24 hours, get no less than $200 per signup, double the usual rate.
* Thereafter - get a still respectable $100 per conversion.

By the way, an added bonus of referring someone is that the referred person's user page will have a backlink towards your user page. This lets your page punch above its weight.

2. Screen other people's intel. Intel has to be screened before being published. It's quick work: just take a look at the intel, then select a rating from A ~ F. You get credit no matter how you rate it, but if the rating you assign is close to the final score, you get a bonus. You also get an addition bonus for being the first screener to screen an intel.

3. Add intel. In the long-term, this is the best way of earning credits. The longer your intel, and the higher the rating it receives, the more credit goes into your account. And every intel you add will have a link to your website. So the more intel you add, the better your websites will rank, and the more intel you have, the more backlinks you will have pointing to your websites.

Unlike real dollars, Qassia dollars are easy enough to earn. Who will be the first Qassia millionaire? Or should we say billionaire? Better start earning now and get a head start - the earlier the better because sooner or later we will be adjusting our credit payout rates, most probably downwards.

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 pays you directly.

Qassia rewards users who add intel in three ways.

1. Backlinks: You get one backlink for every piece of intel you add. Every intel will carry a direct backlink to one of your sites. So the more intel you add, the more backlinks you get.

2. Credit: When you add intel, you also get credit, in the form of Qassia dollars. Your net worth in Qassia dollars determines how well your websites rank in our directory.

3. Revenue: When your intel is displayed, you get 100% of the advertising revenue generated by that page. YES, 100%!

If you like learning new things, go to Qassia and start reading. Be the judge as to whether or not the info is any good. When you judge, you receive Qassia dollars!
