Earn Money From Monetizing Your Affiliate Links
Update: For those interested in this service view the comments for important news on this system
Everyone knows Affiliate links can earn you big money but have you ever thought about adding an additional stream of income to your weblinks. Cashinx is a new service i came across today and although the website is badly designed and the project still in it’s infancy the potential of a service like this is great.
Cashinx offers a whole new way of monetizing blogs and websites, with adverts that can be placed upon any link. The Cashinx service allows two options to display the ads, Static (placing a header advert above your website) and Interstitial (displaying a 10second advert before forwarding to the content) allowing you to maximize your income from your websites.
Publishers payment is through paypal i presume, although there was no direct documentation during the signup process the site requests your paypal email address. The website lacks alot of information and could do with a new web2.0 makeover before they introduce a marketing campaign.
What Cashinx Offers;
- An additional stream of revenue for any type of outbound links from your website
- Payout through paypal to publishers
- Link Approval system to stop system abuse (adult links / illegal content)
- Two ad options - Static and Interstitial
- Basic tracking system
- Up to 70% payout for publishers
While creating a similar service yourself and keeping 100% of the earnings is possible, Cashinx offers those who don’t have the experience to do it themselves an automated process for implementing another stream of income for your website. Please keep in mind that the Cashinx service is in it’s infancy and while i’ve signed up i cannot vouch for the stability of the service.
Suggested Improvements For Cashinx
- Web 2.0 look with a new signup process
- Ad system to show only relevant ads maybe by keywords when creating links
- Introducing an ‘advertisers’ section to display banners / text links

I forgot to add, the minimum payout for this service is $10 ( i just noticed on the site) and you can do it as soon as you have reached this amount.

Thank you very much for your review, even the blunt parts.
I’m honored that you took the time to review us.
As you’ve noticed obviously we’re still in beta and thus still have quite a few kinks to work out. For that reason right now we’re at nearly 100-0% revenue share. We don’t want this to be running a profit until its worth it.
With most of your points I’ll agree with.
But I’d like to add a few things, and clear some things up:
Payment is offered via PayPal, Moneybookers, Neteller, and Check.
I personally like the design. Its not web 2.0. Its not the norm. Its not like every other website out there, which is exactly what I wanted. I wanted a rough look to it, and I like it.
Remember - just because its not shiny and flashy doesnt mean its not good
The sign up process is too simple right now, and maybe we rushed things a bit on it. We’ll be adding a larger form shortly.
But again I believe in simplicity.
I don’t care about where, how, and why you market the site, if you can live by our terms of service, we’ll deal with you! We’re not picky.
If you can send a lot of traffic - do so, and we’ll deal with you individually.
We will be requesting addresses, Neteller accounts and Moneybookers accounts soon where applicable.
Regarding some of your suggestions:
Firstly this is and going to stay CPM based. The entire idea behind CashinX was offering people money for every link posted and every link clicked.
Targeting ads in such a way would have to make us CPC, or run a VERY high inventory.
As of now we’re in a limited beta and sell all ads exclusively to Adtegrity.
Finally, regarding an Advertisers area, I’ve decided to give you a little sneak peak at it:

This one still had too much to be worked out to go online with the rest of the beta.. But it is in the works!
Advertisers will be able to choose what type of links (So far we only have Static available) to show, which ad sizes, how much they’re offering (highest paying obviously gets displayed) and which region to show ads in.
As of now the site has been taken offline for a while to fix up certain issues as well as add the new sign up process.
I appreciate the review and thank you again for those suggestions.

While I’m already at it..
Soon we’re going to be adding a new function to the site - allowing a Javascript code to be put on your site to convert any outgoing URL’s to CashinX URLs.
The root domain must be approved, and we’ll be monitoring this very strictly.
This is going to go well with Wordpress , VB and PHPBB plug ins we have coming.
Thanks ,
