About Qassia
Qassia is a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based web directory. What exactly does this mean? It means that Qassia will change your life.
Good stuff your websites will like
At Qassia, you can add unlimited websites without having to add reciprocal links to your site, and you'll get as much as exposure for each website as you want. All you need to do is add intel. Short for "intelligence", intel is a piece of potentially useful information. Qassia rewards users who add intel in three ways.
- Exposure Each intel includes mention of the contributor's website, with a prominent link (with screenshot) to the website. So the more intel you add, the more exposure you get for your site.
- Credit For each intel you add, you get a little bit of credit in the form of "Qassia dollars," our points system. Your net worth in Qassia dollars determines how well your websites rank in our directory.
- 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: you get ALL of the gross ad revenue.
This means that website owners have triple incentive to contribute intel. The contributed intel is allowing 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.
It's Easy - Just Start Typing
Qassia is sometimes confused with sites like Wikipedia, Squidoo, and most recently, Knol. Qassia is fundamentally different from these sites, for two reasons. First, Qassia is the only site that actively encourages you to promote your website (by means of sharing your intelligence). Second, 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 we value most is local intelligence about the people, companies, and places around you. Things that you - and others in your neighborhood - know and a lot about, but most other people don't. Stuff that's obvious to you and easy to write, but unknown to the web. The people and places you write about do not have to be famous, and the intelligence you share does not have to be earth-shattering.
Here are some examples of intel.
Qassia isn't a wiki. Your intel will not get edited (it will get screened and rated, but not edited). You can write your intel in any tone or style you like. You can write in the first person, and you can give your opinions.
The Best Deal in Town
Other knowledge repositories give their users 40% of the advertising revenue. Others still give their users 60%. We, on the other hand, give you 100% of the advertising revenue from your intel and user profile pages. We have the best, most generous, and most reliable ad revenue sharing program on the web. So if you're thusly inclined - and who wouldn't be? - you'll actually get paid for the effort you put in promoting your websites. Sound good? Join Qassia now.
Qassia is a new era
Think of the bits and pieces of intel as the gravel which will fill the potholes on the information superhighway. While the Wikipedia and other knowledge repositories are huge, boasting tens of thousands of articles, less than 1 percent of human knowledge has been uploaded to the Internet. At Qassia, we are giving users the incentive and the freedom to add the remaining 99 percent.
