[ANN] btcurl.com: bitcoinize your url! (simple affiliate program + free btc)

[arsenische]

This service is a simple affiliate program for your site. No registration needed. Just publish the link of the form:

Code:

http://btcurl.com?url=<your url>&partner=<bitcoin address>

Users that click this link are redirected to <your url> and their unique visits are counted for <bitcoin address>. Everybody can replace <bitcoin address> with his/her own address to become affiliate. You can pay for attracted visitors with the link:

Code:

http://btcrelay.com?url=http://btcurl.com/visitors/unpaid?url=<your url>

If you don't hate frames, publish the link of the form:

Code:

http://btcurl.com?url=<your url>&frame&partner=<bitcoin address>

It enables visitors to submit their bitcoin addresses (see example). Each submitted address counts for both visitor and affiliate. Use the following link to pay for attracted affiliates:

Code:

http://btcrelay.com?url=http://btcurl.com/affiliates/unpaid?url=<your url>

You might want to create a periodic paylist at btcrelay. Note: you won't be able to edit it, but you can always create a new one  via modifying <your url> (e.g. appending it with "#<someid>").

Nice idea. The fact that payments have to go through a third party is a bit worrisome. I'm looking forward to client side software that allows visitors donate directly to those content creators from which they consume in proportion to their consumption. Ideally, a browser addon that works with embedded addresses in the content that keeps track of how many times you visit a webpage or watch a video, and then gives you hard data about what you consume, how often, and gives an address to send to. No third parties required to transact, or even raise privacy questions with.

Actually you don't need to send payments through a third party. You can pay according to csv data yourself.

So, instead of helping site owners to attract new visitors and to pay for it, you want to help visitors to donate for the services they use the most? I like the idea and donation-better-than-taxation approach! I don't know how to create browser addons yet, but maybe it's a good reason to learn

New features added.

Now you can append affiliate link with "&frame" parameter to show the state of the advertising campaign and to allow visitors to submit their bitcoin addresses (thus becoming affiliates too).

Example: http://btcurl.com/?url=http://btcurl.com&frame&partner=13KnzC8XRLu5DDca3shPnZDsU8EpqmcEJQ
(or colored version: http://btcurl.com/?url=http://btcurl.com&frame=ffa&partner=13KnzC8XRLu5DDca3shPnZDsU8EpqmcEJQ)

Pay for attracted affiliates via

Code:

http://btcrelay.com?url=http://btcurl.com/visitors/unpaid?url=<your url>

If you specify withdrawal interval upon paylist creation then your visitors will see how much will be paid out and when. Otherwise they will see when the last payout was done.

Hour-based reports in CSV-format are available too:

Code:

http://btcurl.com/visitors/last/<number of hours>/hours?url=<your url>
http://btcurl.com/affiliates/last/<number of hours>/hours?url=<your url>
