So what’s this new tool does to bloggers and websites owners. With Qassia,you can add your websites for free, and without having to add reciprocal backlinks. You’ll get unlimited quality backlinks (as opposed to “no-follow” backlinks). You can also add intel. Short for “intelligence”, intel is a tidbit of information. 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. That is not a typo, by the way: they give you ALL of the gross ad revenue that’s what they said in there about page.
This means that website owners have triple incentive to contribute intel. The contributed intel will allow Qassia to become a vast repository of intelligence, with unrivalled original content. And a vast amount of original content draws traffic like honey draws ants, that’s what is it all about they at Qassia.com is aiming to become one or the only one source of repository of intelligence with original content that’s what they say. Interesting to me. ![]()
You may ask, and what is this intel thing about?
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.
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. Got a job offer from a company you never heard of? Meeting a potential room mate? Googling didn’t get you anything useful? Well, Google searches for web pages, not for intel, so you might be more likely to find something interesting at Qassia. Of course, if you want and if you have the knowledge, you can also add more typical stuff found at other knowledge bases and websites. Describe a device. Or dispense advice. Write a scientific paper, replete with footnotes. Or just transcribe some notes scribbled on the back of a napkin.
Isn’t it similar to a Wikipedia, Squidoo or the new Google Knol?
Qassia is fundamentally different from these sites, because Qassia is not about asking people to upload authoritative articles. You don’t need to be an egghead at Qassia. You could upload a lengthy academic treatise if you want, by all means, but you can also get away with contributing a hastily scribbled tidbit of information about a person, a company, a place, an event, a thing, or anything you know about.
What they value is intelligence about the people, companies, and places around you. The people and places do not have to be famous, and the intelligence does not have to be earth-shattering. Just like as if you are doing some detective work and you are filing data to make a knowledge based on what you observe and discover.
And also this new tools allows you to add your own website or your blog and get some exposure to the world wide web and if you are monetizing your site or your blog then it gets much audience and viewers and you may luckily get a piece of share from the Google pie, right! : )
The more intel you contribute the more exposure your blog or website will get and you earn a virtual Qassia dollars to use in your promotional activity. Isn’t it fun huh! ![]()
Lastly, this new tool for bloggers and website owners is free to join and is still in Beta testing.

[...] Phillip Torrone wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt [...]
I wouldn’t touch this company with a ten foot pole. Customer server is rude and insulting. They are micro managing listings by including forcing you to add tags to sites or they’ll remove them from their site. What rule changes will next be in place that make it harder to maintain a listing on a tiny site that really won’t impact my rankings. Aside from a strange system, it really is the rude responses from the company that get me. Treat me like a human being, not a whipping post.
Thanks for the information, got to try it out!
All of these web features, networking sites, and money-making online products seem to be proliferating cyberspace, at a rate that is too fast, for most people to keep up.
I have no idea how some people manage to work regular jobs, while also blogging so frequently, and managing all of these different online systems, widgets, programs, and services.
This is getting insane…
qassia is very weird. I have signed up but have no idea of how i can benefit from it. Confuzing concept.
I signed up about a week ago. So far it’s been great.
Everything is just as they lay it out in their promotion material.
It is so easy to submit Intel. You do not have to be a
professional writer. They will take a wide variety of
subject matter, so it is not difficult to write for them.
I am testing this out now!
I agree with Mike Lambert’s comment. This company is extremely rude. The customer support person told me that the stuff between my ears was useless, after I advised him/her that their answer to my my question was useless because they did give me a solution. Then my zazzle account was coincidentally hacked w/in the next hour and my profile was changed to make me look like a racist. I’m sure it was was Quassia that did this because I’ve never had a problem with my site and Qassia has blocked me from their site I’ve spread the news and several of my internet colleagues have canceled their accounts.STAY AWAY
hi I joined Qassia a while ago and it took a while to work out how it worked. It is a great place to promote your website or blog. I enjoy getting paid for reviewing articles, submitting articles and was impressed by the amount a blogger could earn through displaying their banner on your blog.
