This sounds interesting – I’ll check it out.
You mentioned Viglink early in the article. I tried it on one of my sites that was earning okay money from a hotel affiliate site and then forgot about it until about 3 months later I got a whopping $1.12 from Viglink. Since I hadn’t actually used it, I wondered where the money had come from. I was also wondering why I wasn’t making many commissions from my hotel links. As it turns out, Viglink was redirecting those links, even though I had not given them permission to do so. I sent them a polite email, but received a “mail cannot be delivered” notice. Needless to say, I’ve disabled that plugin and am now getting regular payments from my hotel site. Have you or any of your readers had a similar experience with Viglink or another service?
Cool.. That’s a unique way to generate revenue… BTW what’s the minimum payout??

I just signed up for Po.st but there was one thing that I didn’t like.
While signing up it asked me for which website I wanted to use po.st, they don’t tell you if you can use the same key for multiple website. They don’t even give the option to add multiple websites that you like to you their plugin with.
agree, I can’t add another website. And I don’t know about their payment method and minimum payment. I hope I can get the answer.
I wasn’t aware about this Program. What is the minimum payout limit for this program?
I implemented on my website, there is one problem with it, though.
It does not allow you to add more than one site to one of your accounts. Also, I can’t seem to find where it displays the account balance and CTR etc.
hi! I have integrated the plugin in blogger and graduallyit seems like people are sharing the post and clicking the Ads too! But what is the payment method? I do not get any details regarding this in my po.st dashboard . Please Help!
