Service Description
Linkbucks is a very unique advertising membership program created by internet marketer Charles Major that allows people to modify their own links so that they can earn ad revenue from them. This program works on the pay-per-click system, working with advertisers to get their ads seen in a variety of places on the internet.
Detailed Overview
Linkbucks uses a pretty innovative idea for its advertising program, although at first it can be a little confusing trying to figure it all out. Though some more internet and script-savvy people might not have a problem understanding it, beginners may have a lot more difficulty.
When you get past the Linkbucks tech-speak, it’s really fairly simple. As a blogger or a forum poster, you often have links in your signature that lead people to your website. As a website owner, you often put links on your site to other websites, perhaps if you’re trading links or linking to an affiliate website.
When you become a member of Linkbucks, you can submit these links to their program, and they will modify them with code, then you put the modified links on your website, blog, or in your signature. When people click on your links, they will still go where you want them to, but because of the added code, they’ll see an intermission ad for a few seconds first, or they’ll see a framed banner on the top of your destination page.
When someone clicks on your specially coded Linkbucks link, you earn money. You don’t get a lot for one click, but if you get a lot of clicks, your earnings can add up. The advertiser gets what they want, people are still linking to where you want them to go, and you’re making some extra money all at the same time.
Reputation
Feedback on Linkbucks is overwhelmingly positive. Though nobody is claiming to make a lot of money through the program, nobody really expects to. What members do report is that they are always paid on time, that the coded links never cause them any trouble, and that support is always quick and helpful when needed.
Domain "Whois"
The Whois information for a website lists the owner and their contact information. The Whois information for "LinkBucks" is public which is generally a good thing. This indicates the owner of this site has nothing to hide.

Its Only Good
I'll recommend Linkbucks to only those who have a pretty good amount of traffic, websites with less traffic can't make it to minimum payout easily. Before applying for linkbucks, make sure you are getting a high amount of traffic or visitors to increase your earnings. It took me around 4 months to reach the minimum payout.

Linkbucks is a great service
If you are newbie and do not have money to invest at the first time, linkbucks is the easiest way to make quick money. You can promote linkbucks on forums, social networking site like facebook, myspace, twitter. Another great way is posting links on some popular forums about music, movie, ...
For me, I make about 1 buck everyday with linkbucks and they do pay me. This is great for me because I can make an extra money online. All I have to do is put the link on my facebook account and twitter account. I also use linkbucks for my website.

Takes far too long to make money
Not long ago I tried out linkbucks thinking that it was going to make me rich real fast, but I was wrong. Linkbucks works based upon clicks of your links from different ip's and they count these separate links toward your money. I have tried making money by doing this before and trust me it does not work unless you want to make a measly $1 per month doing little work. This website is for those that have a high traffic rate coming to their forums or website and want to profit off of that. Not recommended for the online marketing beginner.

For high-traffic sites
I honestly think that posting links on other sites, that have been generated by linkbucks is a waste of time!
Linkbucks is a great way to make extra monkey if you have a site that gets good traffic. You must have visitors that trust your site and come often (have something to come back too). At first, I was weary about making a linkbucks account because my site only got an average of 30 unique hits a day, at which the duration spent by each visitor was only a few minutes. My site did grow though, as I provided more and affiliate/traded links with more sites. I use linkbucks to mask links to other sites, and generally anywhere that I put links, but never do I do things like post to forums purposely to earn revenue. With over 5,000 daily hits I have been able to make at least 2 dollars everyday, that is from my site alone.
Please only use linkbucks if you have a successful website, with content that impresses it's viewers.

Takes a lot of advertising to earn
I have a small website, so I don't get that many visitors. I've just recently started advertising my Linkbucks URL and have gotten a few hits. But, to make any money with them, you need to have a site that gets a lot of traffic and advertise your site everywhere. Even then, the cashout limit is still pretty high.

Doesn't pay too much
I used this site awhile ago, and it does pay so it's not a scam. The only problem is, the amount of cash they pay per visitor isn't enough. I tried hard to drive as many visitors as I could to use my links, but it takes about 30 people to make 1 cent.

Pretty good in my opinion
Link Bucks in all honesty is a pretty good site. It reminds me of other sites that I have used like link bee but this pays a little better. So far I have made $43 with link bucks which is good because all I do is shorten my links to my blogs and make money from them too. So it's a win win on my part and on your part too if you choose to use link bucks. Link bucks has many styles of links to choose from banners that hang on top of the screen to full page ones. Either way it's all about making money easily and that's what link bucks is about.

Good for some extra cash
From my experience, I think Linkbucks is definitely a good site to start making some extra cash from my web links. With the three ways to create links - single links, multiple links and full pagescripts, they provide bloggers with more flexibility to post their links effectively. But, the payment rate is very low, something like $1/2000 views for interstitial ads and $1/5000 views for banner ads. However, it has been really easy for me to make a good amount of money by having more number of links and with the wonderful referral program they have which runs 3 levels deep. It is a reliable and legitimate website that pays regularly on time. Overall, it is a fairly good site to make some good extra cash.

Great way to earn for webmasters
If you have a website that gets lots of traffic, you can easily make a lot of money with LinkBucks. LinkBucks pays a lot, and they have lots of Ad options. The main thing I like about LinkBucks is that you can skip the Ad the second you see it, unlike other sites, where they force you to view the ad. They do not scam, because I have been paid before.

LinkBucks=awesome
I have to admit, Linkbucks is one of the best ways to earn money online. You just post the URL to their 'post', they create the new link for you, people click that link, and cha-ching you earn money. I have post over 100 URL to LinkBucks, and people just click, click, and click. I earn money from linkbucks, at least $50 per week( pretty high for people doing nothing or beginners. )
If you want to earn money from PTC plus this program, then post your referral URL to this website.

Not recommended for beginners
LinkBucks is a pretty slow service. It's good but it's so slow that it would take a year to make over $500. I suggest you use LinkBucks links only if your website has a good traffic rank. If you think that you could make over $500 per month well you can do it. I've already made over $200 a month just by using LinkBucks. It's slow but it is worth it when you post links over YouTube, Twitter, DailyMotion and many other popular websites. I would like to recommend this service because it will help you to get a little bit of money.

Not recommended for newbies
I rate this a C. They are paying but you got to have insane amount of traffic to make a living out of this. I get paid about $5 to $10 per month with LinkBucks. Not bad because I just spend 5 minutes to link it to my websites and just leaving it just as it is. Recommend it as a side income.

I rate it a C
I have been using LinkBucks little over 3 months, and I am kind of wasting my time on there. I thought it would help bring in extra income, or just side cash, and it is not doing a a very good job. It is hard to get money once you lose it. And you can lose money for no reason. I been paid by them once. They sent me the $5 I earned instantly, I like that. However, I do not think you should waste your time with LinkBucks. I rate LinkBucks a C. I think LinkBucks would be a lot better if you could not lose money randomly. I think that is crazy.

Can be good if you work hard
After trying Linkbucks for some time I realized something. You really have to work hard to make even the tiniest amount of cash. I spent a lot of time promoting my links and putting up posts, to end up with pocket change. This is only worth it if you have a site of massive traffic.

Not worth it, Site not stable
First off I would like to say that I've been using linkbucks for quite a while now, and I'm not surprised. You basically make links and get paid every time someone clicks your link. The site randomly goes down during the day and during those times none of your links work, this is very annoying and you lose money for no reason. Also it is very hard to get money there. And sometimes the money counting system doesn't work right, for example yesterday I got about 2000 clicks which should give me about a dollar, but instead got $. 13. The site does however pay you once you reach the minimum payment of five dollars, I've paid twice, the payment was instant, which is a very nice feature.

Nice program but needs hard work
This site is an excellent program where you get paid when people click on your link. Many sites like this where you get a certain amount of money depending on how many hits the links you receive, but some of them are scams and we do not get anything. LinkBucks pays you based on the amount of clicks and people have to wait 15 seconds before they reach the link to download. The great thing about linkbucks is that they have different kinds of scripts and ads which makes it more user friendly. I have average daily hits to my site, and LinkBucks makes me about 5 dollars a month. This is not a lot, and the only way you can make hundreds of dollars with LinkBucks is if your site receives tens or even hundreds of thousands of hits a day.
If you want to make an extra bit of money, I would recommend this.

Just another waste of time
When I tried linkbucks, it took me almost 3 months to reach their minimum payout. It is not recommendable for beginners, you will only waste your time. Posting to forums and others is not enough. You will be needing a website with a huge traffic and it is much better if that site is your own. You will be needing a lot of patience and hardwork. They actually pay, but if you don't know what you are doing, it will only waste your time.

Nice but not easy
I tried Linkbucks a long time ago. The idea was interesting, being paid to promote links we can create... But it's not easy to create links that will appeal to people. And we need a huge traffic to earn something. So I gave up for a while. Then I started a small blog, which began to grow. Now I have the traffic I need to use linkbucks and I make between 6-13$ a day with linkbucks. It's easy cash but you might want to use other techniques at the same time if you want to live off of your blog.

Pretty good to make a little money
I started with linkbucks two years ago. I tried to publish my links everywhere I could but it didn't work out. Linkbucks can get you money but only if you use porn pictures. I used the forum and gallery dump methods along with shared images and deposit files and I was able to earn almost 10$ a day. But it was time consuming and I found better ways to make money. I recommend it for beginners and people who want to make a little money from time to time.

My experiance
Well I tried this program out and personally I found that they didn't pay out right away. It took me a while to get a hold of them and after about a month of hassling them I finally got my money. Though the money I got was the proper amount for how much traffic I sent them, so that part was good, but getting the money was difficult.

Linkbucks is ok but SkyZop is better
I have had experience with Linkbucks and have received earnings from them on average of $5 dollars per month. Then I realized the major drawback with the Linkbucks system. When you create links, there is no immediate way to promote them on Twitter, Myspace, Facebook etc. If you want to post your links, you have to do it the long hard manual way.
I just found skyzop.com a month ago, and have been using them instead. As soon as you create links you get the option to automatically post the link on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, or even email the link to people, increasing the chances of higher earnings. It's working for me, and I have since switched all of my links over to Skyzop.

Legit, useful, but SLOW!
Hi, I joined LinkBucks a while ago. It's a unique, useful site for webmasters to make money of people clicking links on their sites. This can make like 30 cents per 1k hits, which can be very slow to reach the 5$ payout.
However you can make easy money with LinkBucks if you don't have a site too. I tried this method. I pasted my link all around popular sites, and got great amount of traffic, however my earnings were very low. (It might be my tier, because it says, it normally pays 1$ per like 2000 hits) I can continue advertising, but it's still VERY SLOW!
Another useful thing is that, it makes short alias URLs for your links and you can use this like TinyURL to shorten your long URLs (No ADs, unpaid link).

Great site to use!
Before I joined this website 5 months ago I was using a free domain name and people thought my website was not legitimate, so I asked my friend how he pays for his domain name and he told me about LinkBucks and quickly explained to me all the basic info I needed to get started. Now I send my LinkBucks domain in all of my emails and in my blog posts, and it surely pays off.
I've cashed out 3 times now which has paid for my domain name for 2 years, it's a great website and most importantly easy to use.

One word - waste of time
When I first hear about linkbucks, people said it was great. I tried it and at first it was great, but it slowly died out. It took me around 5 months to get the minimum payout $5. Because linkbucks is well known to most people, when they see your link they know you will make money if they click on it, which is why they don't click your links. More importantly, most high-traffic forums banned linkbucks links, so as of today, it is pretty hard to make decent amount of money from linkbucks. So if you don't want to spend a lot of time searching forums and posting, I suggest you don't even start.

Trusted service, but slow
From the experiences that I have to make some money with LinkBucks you must have a lot of great patience. I used this service from about 6 months ago and so far I have earned about $ 300. I have 11 referrals, but I earned 1$ from them.
The service is easy to use but takes some time and work. It took me some time to learn how to create my own links but then working with them is quite easy. Moreover, I can use different techniques for making money but I have to reiterate that it takes me a long time. I use LinkBucks mostly for my blogs and find that the profit is not too much but is satisfactory. I have not had a problem with payments on their part.

Not for everyone
Linkbucks is a good money making solution. I am a blogger and I use it everyday. I cashed out about 4 times already, the payments were on time like they said. I had a conversation with the admin. He is very friendly and helped me out numerous times. However, their PPV rates are low for some users who aren't that popular. I do not recommend this to users who could not get about 100 clicks a day to one link. I will continue using this service, as I have not found any other service like this with a better PPV rate.

Linbucks good
I love their layout & the website is easy to use. The admin is nice & is always ready to help those who need it. They also pay twice a month. This website is legit & well worth your time. I have been paid over 16 dollars on the site in one month & all I had to do was sit back & let the funds come in. This is a great site to make easy funds with. If you are in to blogging or online marketing you can make some nice funds with this program.
This website is legit & well worth your time.

Achieved great results
I joined LinkBucks around four months ago and the results I achieved were not bad. I was able to get two cashouts and I am glad I tried the site despite of the small earnings I've made. Creating different links is a straight forward process and in a short amount of time you can create hundreds of links directing to your site. For people using advertisement platforms like me, this proved to be a useful thing since it is better having more than one link. It takes tons of time to earn money through the links you've made. For me earning at LinkBucks is not a priority and the advertising side of the site is the thing I am more interested in. The concept really has a lot of potential. Thanks to the site I got a lot of new sign-ups and also increased sales with around five percent which is not a bad result actually. If you put some effort then you can definitely make some effective promotions. Overall I would recommend trying the site out since in my case at least it worked perfectly.

Works, But Takes Forever
I would not recommend this service to anyone. I used it to try and make money from links posted on my blog and on various forums. But after using the service for 18 months I had only made five dollars. The service pays out and works, but it takes a very long time to make any amount of money using it. There are more efficient ways you could be spending your time other than using linkbucks. I give this site a C because even though it works, I cannot recommend it as it simply takes too long to make any money.

Not really enough money to spend
You shouldn't expect to make much on here but a couple of cents. The amount of clicks it takes to even make a couple hundred dollars a month is just too much to even be worth it. Also another problem is the constant popups and advertisements they make the "clickers" go through may discourage them from clicking the links or going through with them. I don't get several thousand hits a day to a website so this did not work out for me and I discontinued using it.

Not Even Worth the Effort
This website is not even worth the effort.
First of all, they only pay about . 01 cent per click sometimes less. I started trying this and after two weeks, even with many people clicking on it, it only gets somewhat near 50 cents. I would never recommend this site for anyone because they don't pay high and there is a forty click limit per day, so If you get traffic that has over one hundred people, this site is worthless for you. You need so many clicks just to get one dollar and there are better websites out there right now. I would only use this site if you had a lot of free time on your hands, if you do not then please do not use this website.

Hard Way Of Making Money
Earning with linkbucks is very slow and time consuming. They pay a very small amount for your hard work. Only $1 for 2000 clicks. About 7 months ago I joined linkbucks and started posting my links to my blog and also to forums like ND-warez and 3 others. But after 1 month I was hardly able to make about $15 which is not enough. Still I'm posting my links because it is a little source of income for me. If you have extra time then you can manage, but keep in mind that you are not going to make huge amount of money with linkbucks. It can just fulfill your small needs.

Good Way to Earn a Few Pennies
LinkBucks is a great site for earning a few extra dollars, but that's about it. Unless you have hundreds of thousands of people clicking on your LinkBucks links, then you aren't going to be earning big bucks any time soon. They pay less than a penny per click so it really is difficult for the average internet user to make any real money with them. After using the site for more than a year I haven't even earned enough to reach the $5 cash out, so I eventually gave up on Linkbucks. They do have a few advertisement options and some pay more than others, such as the intermission ads, which appear before the site you want your LinkBucks link to direct to, which I would suggest in order to maximize earnings. But I do find their ads to be a little intrusive as they consume the whole page and many people clicking on your links might simply exit the page because of the ads before even seeing your site, which is what I have done.

Awesome Service!
As you may all know, linkbucks is a pay per click service, which pays you every time a user clicks on a linkbucks generated link. Roughly $1 per 2000 clicks. For me linkbucks has been a great service, so far I have added 70 referrals to my account, which gets me $2 per day, with me doing absolutely nothing ( That is $60 per month ). To make great income with linkbucks, you should mainly target sites which have a substantial number of views daily. This is the key to scoring users to click on your links. Plus as a bonus you need to provide the right content that link will redirect to, so that it reaches the User's intent.

Not even worth your time
I tried this about three weeks ago because I thought it was easy money. But I was wrong! After about 2 weeks you would think after putting it all over your website it would get you a lot of money but your wrong it got me like 50 cents. I don't recommend this for anyone at all. the pros of this product is that they of course give you money for just clicking, but the cons are that you need a whole lot of clicking to get a whole lot of money, so it's ultimately not good. So in my opinion, the cons beat the pros and I don't recommend this for anyone unless you have a whole lot of free time in your agenda.

Not good at all!
Poor payment, unless you have a ridiculous amount of referrals or a huge website and are prepared for your visitors to be annoyed by countless banners and 15 second pop-ups, I do not recommend this site. I tried this site for a little extra money but found it useless. Most forums have recognized this site and have banned linkbucks advertising so renders you unable to make enough money and could get you a nice little ban from a community.
However, payment is made on time and is not a scam in anyway. Instant payments per links occur and you can monitor the traffic through links to see which ones are more active.
Conclusion: I would not recommend this site as it does not provide a lot of money and provides too much hassle to your visitors who just want to browse around without annoying pop-ups or ads.

Many Links needed for Bucks
LinkBucks is a great site for page referrer hiding, and can be good as a source of income if you either have many links or many visitors. Personally, I have made around 35 cents in almost a year with this service. However, I do not do any spamming or advertising of the links. LinkBucks also has a forum for it's members where you may be able to learn better tips if you want to make money with the service.

Great service
Words cannot express how easy it is to earn money. I've had a great time using linkbucks on my blog links. I was earning upwards of $13 in a week, simply by replacing my old links with linkbucks redirecting links. Easiest money you will ever make doing close to nothing on your part. Recommended to anyone who has their own website or posts links a lot.

Slower than a speeding snail
I started using LinkBucks last year after seeing a promo in one of the exchanges. I was really impressed until after joining I saw the number of clicks my links would have to get to make a half way decent amount of money, over 1,000 clicks. Unless you have a site or your link is very popular, you'll be waiting a very very long time to make a $1. After 8 months, I've only earned 2 cents. But if you want to shorten your url and be able to keep track of the url you shortened, it's pretty good.

Lame. Too hard. Not worth it
You get paid like a thousandth of a penny for a click. It'll take you about 012938402938429034 clicks to even get a few bucks. Unless you want to waste your life, DO NOT, DO NOT, use this site.
I used it for a year and earned 2 dollars. Why do people take time to do this. IDK, you could be using other sites and making 200x the amount you would make with the time you would spend doing linkbucks.
IMO this site fails.

Only if you get a lot of visitors and got the time
I came across this site a lot when visiting different forums. Later I checked this site out about what it was and what it does and I found out it gives you money for redirecting people to another link.
I gave it a try and found out that you can best use this service when you have a lot of viewers to your website or forums.
The amount of money you receive when people click on the link is really low.
After a few months I got paid out about ~20 USD and was kinda disappointed because I get a lot of traffic and they click a lot on those links.
This is only useful when you get A LOT of traffic to your site and got the time to convert those links.

Bad Payments and Requires a lot of traffic!
OK,
I've been signed up on linkbucks for about 2 months and thought it was good at first.
I found that the best way for me to produce traffic was to sign up to a warez forum and link your download links through linkbucks.
of course if you got a download that has a real high demand your gonna get a fair amount of traffic so this worked good for me.
I made about $10 in the 2 months I was using linkbucks but when it came to payments I had to wait for 2 weeks.
which lead me to think it's a scam...
But I got payment in the end, wasn't totally worth it because I got told off a few times on forums because of the linkbucks link...
Overall... I personally I don't think linkbucks is worth the time and hassle.

Only work with social media sites
Linkbuck is a good program to earn with your links. I have applied link buck with my twitter and face-book account through some article promotion and the result was quite good. But when I apply it with my own blog then I found the visitors are jumping from my blog. Any one have only some premium content can use this program to earn more with his site where the visitors will wait to see the content. Other wise it will only work with social-media sites to earn some lazy bucks.

It's a complex process to use
Linkbucks at first appeared to be a great way to make some money but after a few months I had made around two cents, an unsatisfactory amount. During the few months I was creating and posting the links on as many areas as I could to try to get as many clicks as I could with no success. The system Linkbucks works on is not working well because the links you put out are able to be skipped so people tend to ignore them. If you have a high traffic website using the links that you create may be more successful but with the rate of $002 a click you would need high traffic. In my final remarks I must say the idea that Linkbucks has seems like it could be successful but needs more time. Remember though the program is still in it's beta so there may be more to come.

Only use this if you have a lot of traffic
This site is not one you should use if you're looking to make a lot of money because you will need a lot of traffic. I have gotten about $2 spending tons of time into that website. Still, even if you do get a lot of traffic this website will not be paying you what you're site is worth when you can be making way more money using services like ad-sense which pay very well and don't annoy the user clicking the links because of all the pop-ups. So when it comes down to it, do not use this service because they'll be making more money. It drives away valuable traffic, and you won't get disappointed when you see your mere . 20 cents go up.

Miserable Payments
The point of Linkbucks is that when people click on your link, you get money. The only problem with that is that it is pathetic money. If you display a banner at the top of your blog/website you earn something around $0002 with every click. If you choose for the pop-up method on your website, you can earn perhaps a little bit more than that. This means that you need at least several thousands of visits to your website or that many people clicking that link. If you have a good traffic website, that is great. But after three months or so I just got over a dollar, so I immediately gave up. Bad experience for me.

Good but not perfect
I've been using LinkBucks for a while now and while it is easy to use and works well it's still hard to earn with it. You must have a really good website or some other ways to make people click your links.
I've been using it to earn some extra every time I need to post a link, but so far I haven't been able to earn too much.
However like I said before, if you have a good website or other means to get lot of clicks then it really is trustworthy and can make you some nice extra income.

Don't try this!
I have been using linkbucks a year or two years. At first I thought that it was a great way to make money.
All you do is just convert the url link that you have in to the linkbucks url converter tools until you'll get the converted link. Then you can post your links into any sites or forums so that it can be clicked by people, and you'll get your cash.
But the fact is that the only room where people usually place their links is in forums. I used to place my links in some several forums, but the fact is that almost all forums don't allow links from linkbucks, so in other words, is that linkbucks is banned from almost all forum sites!
So, I just wanna share this to you, don't you ever try this linkbucks service! It's a waste of time..

LinkBucks waste of time?
LinkBucks is a site that advertises your link and if other people click on it you will receive cash. On my experience with it I would not recommend it to others as I have advertised my link for a month and only received 7$ which is nothing.
But don't take me wrong it could be profitable if you had a lot of people everyday clicking on you links, but it would take hard work also I think LinkBucks need to change a few things in there site.
So for that I grade this a D.

Been a member for a while
I have actually been on linkbucks for a while now. I have not actually got paid yet from the site, but I can say that I am glad that I found it. One of the best things I like about it is that you are able to make hundreds of different links that can point to the same website. This can be very useful for doing advertising on craigslist and on vinefire type of sites. This way you can change the add around a little then make a new link and put it in the ad. This way you can post multiple times on craigslist if you want. Another great feature of course is being able to get paid from people clicking on your links too. You will not be getting rich from it but it is extra free money that can be made for pretty much just doing your regular advertising. If you wanting to join linkbucks just for the money aspect then I would say not to. But if you want to join it because it gives you ways to have multiple links and ways to advertise then I would say go for it.
