Rand posted about this new monetization platform called
link bucks, that seems to have an interstitial between clicks on the site to monetize your traffic. I think it’s a little heavy myself. But I have installed the full settings on this blog, try it out and tell me what your opinion is? Is it too much?
This type of monetization has been available for a while now but required a lot of programming. So it’s pretty cool that you can add it to any site in seconds.

I have been in the search industry since the late 90’s, no not 10-20 years. My career started early in the search Day’s at Inktomi, where I supported large search portals. For example, MSN, AOL, iWon, Hotbot, CNet too name a few.
After Inktomi I became a freelance consultant. I consulted for a few of the Top SEO’s around 2002 time frame; obviously the market has changed since then. After consulting I joined a small SEO firm called SEO Inc as the CTO. At SEO Inc. I successfully optimized some of the largest clients including IGN, Sony, VEGAS.com, Beaches and Sandals Resorts to name a few.
Even though SEO Inc was a ton of fun, I still wanted the ultimate SEO challenge. I moved on as the global head of SEO for Shopping.com an eBay company. This challenge was an interesting one, how do I optimize a site with 50 million products? Every month I helped the business grow by leaps and bounds.
I am now consulting for mostly enterprise e-commerce clients.
Yes there is more too me than this profile shows, but you will just have to ask.

On an 8MBPS broadband line your blog comments page is held up by LinkBucks for over 10 seconds...
I can see the benefits to high visitor volume websites but I am not a fan of it at all....

PS Linkbucks did not show any ads in their page whilst it redirected me...
Wow, what a bad experince. I am curious to see if it's as bad in the US. Sounds like I am going to kill it tomorrow.

No worries... I just think that Linkbucks will end up in the hands of amateur spammers and will quickly become Popups 2.0....

Well, it is not only placing ads when a visitor is clicking to another website, but also within your site.
I would never constrain the users to navigate within my blog
Yes this is terrible, it's gotta go!
Sorry Link Bucks, you guys have alot of work to do.
Ok its gone now!
