Today is WordLinx’s 6th birthday! Over the last few years we’ve taken the site from ‘just another PTC’ to a membership of nearly 200,000 with a top 10,000 Alexa rank. Our site is now considered by many as one of the top three PTCs in the world. Our drive to innovate and improve has created many unique features. These have helped us to keep the site online during these difficult times.

So, what does the future hold? What do we have in store for our many members and advertisers? Well, due to the success of our junction sites and new sharing system, we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be increasing payments for all upgraded members! We’ll also be simplifying our whole referral system, so it’s easier to understand for new and potential members. Here’s what we have planned…

• More paid adverts for all members!
• Basic members will earn 5% per referral click only.
• Verified and Verified Plus members will earn 10% per referral sale (up to $50 per purchase!) and 10% per referral click.
• Premier membership will be removed.
• Pro members will earn 20% per referral sale (up to $100 per purchase!) and 20% per referral click.
• Advertisers will no longer have to subscribe to target verified buyers and members by age, gender or location.
• Targeting features will be available to all advertisers who will pay a new flat fee of 10% plus $4.99 USD (still very cheap!)
• Pro members will pay just $0.01 USD per visitor (no fees!)
• 500 visitors package will be removed and a new 2000 visitors package will be introduced.

These changes (among others) will simplify our system and reward our most loyal members. If you currently have a Premier membership, we’ll give you plenty of notice before we make these changes, which won’t be introduced for several months.

If you’re thinking about upgrading to take advantage of these changes early, Verified membership is still only $10 per year, or $59 for a lifetime upgrade (Verified Plus). This offers incredible value, as many of our competitors charge up to $99 for just one year! WordLinx gives you much more for your money too, as all upgrade levels come with credits that can be spent on advertising, or on products from our download store.

Lastly, a big thank you to all our fantastic members, advertisers and Twitter followers. You’ve made this one of the best years for WordLinx ever. Despite the frosty economic climate, we’ve continued to grow as one of the world’s top advertising programs. Constantly creating new ways to increase earnings for members, and value for advertisers. We still have some big surprises in store - so stay tuned!
