So you have heard of Face book, My space and a few other ones that i havent seen but I have seen a website that pays YOU for being a Member..
Well I have checked it out for the past month. Yuwie is gaining popularity and numbers pretty fast. Another social networking site, but this time with a difference. Yuwie lets you earn as you network and earn from your referrals. So it does offer something a little different.
Yuwie itself is monetized by ad sense
and other advertising and passes on a small % of that revenue to the
registered users. The revenue split is based on activity by the
registered user and activity by the registered users referral down to
10 levels, which means, for those who haven't been involved in network
commission, your referrals, referrals, referral, etc, to 10 levels. So
it is possible to gain a healthy revenue income from friends and
referrals and their activity.
There are checks and balances in place, to ensure automation and cheating is quickly picked up on and advertising your own business is a no no in almost all areas of the site, but there is a neat little video explaining the principals and an easy accessible faq section, not to mention Terms of Service.
As
a Social Networking site, it works well. Offering, video, audio,
applications, blogs, comments, notices, messages, photo albums. Customization of layout is welcome and encouraged.
Profanity is stamped on vigorously, a little to heavy I would say, particularly when the word Cockatoo, is censored to C**katoo, but a great support team exists and within 2 hours of an email, the word had been reverted, as it should have appeared.
Stable and generally responsive, the site is occasionally sluggish, though that is not all that surprising as Yuwie is still in Beta, though that is easy to forget, with the user base numbers as follows:
| Total Members: | 649,046 | | New This Month: | 31,121 | | New Today: | 266 |
(snap shot 2107Hrs TST 26/05/08)
it is growing very fast.
If you enjoy Social Networking sites, a la myspace, facebook, beebo, well worth checking it out yourself.
