I've been looking into these sites a lot more recently to get a handle on how they work and make their money and basically it's all just affiliate marketing on steroids
Take OhMyDosh for example. You can literally hover your money over the links on their website and see the URL they are going to go to are via affiliate networks like Awin. I assume they have some kind of 'cash reserver' to give money to the users are affiliates more often than not don't pay out THAT quickly.
TopCashBack and Quidco just do similar so the amount of money these sites must be making must be gobsmacking!
HotUKDeals is another site that earns a crazy amount of money. I must have seen that 'Three Mobile Sim' and 'Sign up to Revolt Card' offer on their front page for a good number of days now so lord knows how many people are they pushing through but I would guess it's in the thousands! Not to mention the stuff I've seen online about how much HUKD charge companies to have their Black Friday offers listed at the top during that week!!
If anything THEIR system is the cleverest as the content is all user-provided by people putting up deals and then their system turns the links into affiliate ones! Best passive income going!
I know there are a handful of other similar sites like 20Cogs (which ohmydosh own as well) and well as the likes of LatestDeals but I don't get why there aren't more of these sort of websites because as long as you can drive the traffic you would earn an insane amount of money from your site!!!
All these sites just remind me of the likes of Profit Accumulator where Sam took a load of information that was already out there, presented it is a nice, easy to use way, charged for it and now he's a bloody millionaire!!!!
I need to get creating!!
