Make Money With Twitter (And Other Social Media)

Interested in making money on twitter.com & other social media sites? Here’s something I was recently sent:
There’s a new CPC Advertising site called adjix. Available for both advertisers and publishers, it takes long URLs and converts them into a shorter format similar to tinyurl or shorl. The only catch is when a user clicks on the link, they’ll see an advertisement in the top of their screen. The best news is, you decide what category of advertisement it shows. You’re also provided two separate types of short-urls:
Here’s an example link (in the technology category):

One of the great things about this service that sets it a part from all the other URL-Shortening services is that it provides you with user information on anyone that follows your link. It even shows the IP & hostname of the user!
Another key feature of adjix is that they give you the ability to use your own domain instead of theirs!
What does that mean? Say goodbye to http://adjix.com/fp9p and hello to http://links.brentter.com/fp9p! All it took was an easy DNS change and voila, the affiliate link no longer looks like an affiliate link.
Also, if you just wanted to use this URL-Shortening service but did NOT want to display any ads, they have recently launched a no-ad version of adjix! You can find more information about that here.
There’s a long list of categories available for you to choose from as well.
Here’s a sample:
This is the start of a whole new breed of CPC advertising opportunities. Should be interesting to see what comes out next!

Brent,
Thanks for that great review of Adjix which we just launched last week. Your review is one of the best we’ve seen on highlighting the details often overlooked.
Just a quick comment – did you notice that your links.brentter.com doesn’t seem to be configured in your DNS?
Thanks,

Joe,
Thanks for running such a great service!
Yes I originally had posted that with intentions of adding the DNS records to reflect a links.brentter.com however I’ve decided to hold off for the time-being and wait for a new domain I’ve purchased to propagate, at which time it would be swapped out in that post.
Cheers,
Brent
