WordLinx is run by a guy off a forum that I frequent. He's recently relaunched it as a pay per click service where advertisers can just buy clicks, set their bid price and total amount and then the members of the site are paid that bid price to click on the advert and view the URL associated for about 20 seconds.nnFor the advertisers out there – this is a cheap way to have guaranteed traffic. With Google Adwords you can't even get away with paying out $0.01 per click let alone encourage any visitors! If you've got a good catchy web site, a noticeable front page then this could be a great way to pull in the visitors. At 1 cent per visitor I'm sure you can survive a lot of visitors and still get a return of investment (R.O.I). The minimum amount to spend is $1.00 plus a 10% fee to the owner. $1.10 is a small enough amount to get 100 visitors and give it a try. If it doesn't work, well it doesn't work, I doubt it's going to cause a dent in the pocket to find that out that's for sure!nnFor everyone else, well what's better than being able to log onto a site during the day and get paid to click on some adverts? Bearing in mind some advertisers pay high prices on clicks with Google Adwords except Google gets the money. On WordLinx you get the money not the web site. Payment threshold is low ($10) and payment is via Paypal.nnMembers of WordLinx are growing quickly and it's definitely something I'll be using in the future once I get my new sideline business up and running hopefully in the next month or two depending on the meetings I have in a fortnight's time.

    All your links are getting munged. I've often wondered exactly what Wordlinx is – you've done more in this post to explain it than Richard has, ever!

    Yes I keep managing to not put the "http://" into the links. It's been a long weekend! The clocks going forward have completely messed up my sleeping patterns along with oversleeping Saturday. I should go back to bed today and start again tomorrow :D
