Swapthing Monetizes Niche Web Sites and Provides Easy Social Networking
SwapThing launches the SwapAffiliates program to help small webs build community through social networking, while earning revenue from swapping.
Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) February 2, 2007 -- SwapThing.com, the leader in online swapping, announced a new and unique affiliate program to help content creators earn additional revenue. The SwapAffiliate program enables every forum, blog or website owner to earn revenue while providing a valuable service to their readers.
The plug and play solution uses widgets to connect users into SwapCircle communities; groups dedicated to the swapping of goods and services around common interests. Users can swap, sell or buy items or services within a trusted circle of users.
The SwapAffiliates program provides multiple revenue opportunities to a site or community owner based on all activity that takes place within the SwapCircle. Active SwapCircles earn higher commissions for the affiliate.
"Internet entrepreneurs have always had an eye on how to effectively monetize the web in a way that is useful to the average person and advantageous for the site owner," says SwapThing founder Jessica Hardwick. "We wanted to provide both in a way that did not require technical expertise or resources to make it incredibly easy for small and medium sized sites to easily participate."
SwapThing.com is launching the SwapAffiliate program with Cerado Haystack Networking, DormItem and CollegeClassifieds.com, with several other partners coming on board in the coming weeks.
"DormItem looks forward to providing its users with an alternative to buying and selling, powered by the SwapThing system. College SwapCircles are great resources for students, an excellent complement to our service, and a win-win partnership," says Daniel Scudder, founder of DormItem
SwapAffiliates offers a number of customizable options for partners to create their own SwapCircle, add an image, and invite the community members to join. SwapCircles can be focused on hobbies, shared interests, geography, or even offline groups. Affiliate partners will have their choice of three customizable widgets to connect their users to the SwapCircle.
