A few months ago, on our 6th birthday, we announced a list of changes to WordLinx that would improve things for both members and advertisers. Over the last few weeks we have implemented these changes one by one (see below). However, this week, we are putting something major in place that will affect thousands of members – 10% per referral click and 10% per referral credit purchase for Verified members! This includes Verified Plus members!

Verified/VP members currently get paid 5% per referral, however to increase the amount of new members and advertisers we will now set this to DOUBLE the amount! That’s right! If you have a Verified/VP account, your earnings from referrals will be twice as much from this Friday!

Best of all, 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 enhanced targeting, added features and credits that can be spent on advertising, or on products from our download store.

Here’s what we have completed so far…

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

And introducing, for upgraded members only, Tier 2 and Tier 3 stats! As all members can earn from referral upgrades on 3 levels ($0.50 per referral upgrade or $1.00 per upgrade for Pro members) we thought it only fair to reward our Verified, Verified Plus and Pro members with stats to show their full downline. We hope to have this up and running very soon.

In other news, we have adjusted our criteria for selling referrals, so there are now enough available to sell regularly, instead of just once a month. A limited amount of referrals are put on sale at a different time every few days. The exact time is posted on our Twitter feed, to give all members a fair chance of buying.

As usual, a huge thank you to all our members, advertisers and Twitter followers for making WordLinx such a success. Over 6 years online, when most ‘bux’ sites don’t make it past 6 months. This is an incredible achievement, and doubly so in such harsh financial circumstances.

WordLinx members that regularly log out after their sessions will know that Rogue has another game (other than CA$HGRAB) that’s been online for a while. Time Tumble is an action puzzle game for all ages, where you have to line up balls to get a new high score before your time runs out. After a few plays it becomes very addictive, as you try to beat your best score again and again.

Until recently, the non-demo version of the game was selling for $2.99 USD. The price has now been slashed by over 30% for the holidays to just $1.99 USD! To experience Time Tumble for yourself, just visit http://www.timetumble.com and click FREE DEMO. You can also add the demo to your own site, just like CA$HGRAB. Simply click ‘add to your site’ to copy and paste the code.

If you’d like a game developed to promote your company or website, please contact Rogue today.

WordPress.com (update)

December 5th, 2009

It’s been about a week since our blog was removed from WordPress.com and we still haven’t had a reply to our messages. We’re very disappointed with what we thought was a professional service and urge anyone considering using their site to think twice.

We have read through their ‘Terms of Service’ several times and can not see how we could have violated them in any way. If you don’t take our word for it, you can see cached versions of our pages thanks to Google. Just go to Google and type in ’site: wordlinx.wordpress.com’ then click the ‘Cached’ links in the results to take a look for yourselves. Apart from the new features we have added here, and our users’ comments (which were sadly lost when we moved) our old blog is virtually identical to this one.

What to do if this happens to you. Firstly, don’t worry about your content. It will be safely stored in Google’s cache for a couple of weeks. So if you’re unable to login to WordPress.com, you can still access all your content by searching Google for ’site: ***.wordpress.com’ where *** is the name of your blog. If you are still able to login to WordPress.com you may be able to use their Export feature to rescue your content. However, we found this page that suggests otherwise.

We’re sad to have to post a message like this, but glad if it serves as a warning to others. When your content is on a site that you don’t own, it is at the mercy of its administrators and can be removed at any time.

As you can see, luckily we managed to rescue most of our content and use the WordPress interface from WordPress.org here. Unfortunately not everyone can host their own blog like us. We seriously recommend browsing the web for similar services before signing up to WordPress.com, otherwise you may suffer the same fate. Use at your own risk.
