ShareCash: The Original & #1 PPD Network

ShareCash is a revolutionary pay-per-download network that allows you to monetize content and files and receive around $1, sometimes up to $20, per download you receive.

How Does it Work?

When you upload a file to ShareCash, you're given a download link so visitors can access your file. When a visitor clicks the link, they are first asked to complete a quick, short survey from ShareCash's advertising partners. When the visitor completes a survey, you're paid usually around $1.00, and their download begins.

Why ShareCash?

ShareCash is by far the most lucrative and trustworthy PPD network. In fact, they were the first PPD network to ever exist, as they created the concept in 2009. Since then, they've revamped their entire system, sporting an absolutely stunning user interface along with some awesome features that help you earn. Most importantly of all, though, they pay significantly higher than ANY other PPD network on the market, mainly due to their years of experience and relationships with top advertisers, as well as their unique survey optimization algorithms. In the end, ShareCash is going to make you more money than any other PPD network; if you're not using them, you're losing cash!

Good Advice For Computer Science Students

More Challenges: Writing 100,000 lines of code by your 4th year of college is an impressive feat by any standards. Even if all that code is spread across a number of different languages during your college career. However, you’re not going to hit that level just doing your homework in the CS department. You need to code on projects or just for fun outside of school, and you need to find the time to do it.
There’s more to just reaching 100,000 lines, though. It’s about discipline. It’s about learning fundamentals. It’s about finding the very difficult scenarios, and how to solve them. Ultimately, writing 100,000 lines of code before you even graduate, is about experience. You will be properly molded as a programmer and developer.

Yahoo v. Facebook enters the annals as a big waste of money


The only thing left of former Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson's legal assault on Facebook is a vague improvement to a partnership that already existed.

Yahoo's interim (and most likely the next permanent) CEO Ross Levinsohn just took the step that many were hoping he would: he successfully killed the patent lawsuit against Facebook that Yahoo's previous CEO Scott Thompson had instigated.
The two companies just announced that they have replaced their legal battle with an expanded advertising and content partnership. Before the Thompson lawsuit, the companies already had a working partnership. This deal takes that further.
Given the companies' about-face and their mutual decision to cease hostilities, it's also clear that the lawsuit wasn't worth the expense. Even if Yahoo under Thompson had had its way, the upside still would have been limited with Yahoo making some money, but nothing else, according to patent analyst Florian Mueller of the FOSS Patents blog. "This wasn't about market share," he said. "It wasn't like Apple and Google's patent battle, where the combatants hoped to impose their business model on the other company."
In its litigation against Facebook, Mueller said that Yahoo was not going to regain market share nor even sustain it. "It was just going to make itself more unpopular," he said.

Google: We drove $80B in U.S. economic activity last year

   The company says that it was able to tally that mark for 1.8 million businesses, Web site publishers, and non-profits across the U.S.
July 2, 2012 9:45 AM PDT
Google is driving serious economic activity in the U.S. -- at least, that is, according to Google.
The search giant today unveiled its 2011 Economic Impact report, and said that its search and advertising tools, including AdWords and AdSense, drove $80 billion in economic activity across the U.S. last year. The company said it reached that figure with help from "1.8 million businesses, Web site publishers, and non-profits across the U.S."
In order to arrive at that figure, Google used some fancy math. The company estimates that businesses that use AdWords make $2 in revenue for every $1 they spend on the advertising platform. In addition, the company assumed that a business will receive five clicks in search results for every one click on their ads.
"If search clicks brought in as much revenue for businesses as ad clicks, these two assumptions would imply that businesses receive $11 in profit for every $1 they spend on AdWords," the company said. "This is because, if advertisers receive 2 times as much value from AdWords as they spend on AdWords, and they receive 5 times as much value from Google Search as they do from AdWords, then the total profit they receive is 11 times what they spend."

With $60B in cash, Microsoft is set to blow up its business


Don't be fooled. Microsoft's entrance into the tablet market shows nothing less than a willingness to overhaul its business model.
Marty Wolf

Editors' note: This is a guest column. See Marty Wolf's bio below.
With the recent announcement of Microsoft's new Surface tablet, the decades-old network of partners that Microsoft and Intel built just got a formidable new asset-rich competitor: Microsoft.
Like all successful partner networks, Wintel thrived because all of the players -- the two principals, OEMs, the channel and other stakeholders -- benefited individually from the association while contributing to the growth of the network itself. The Wintel platform is still the dominant desktop and laptop computing architecture.
But with smartphones, tablets and the cloud replacing desktops and laptops with remarkable speed, it's a brand new post-PC world. And in the most stunning development imaginable, Microsoft's Surface announcement confirms that Steve Ballmer and company are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve success -- including blowing up the partner network Microsoft helped create -- and that has been the linchpin of the company's dominance for the past 30 years. And it has the financial staying power to do it.
How much staying power? Almost $60 billion.
Even though margins from its desktop business peaked in 2010, Microsoft still has 90 percent of that market and, as of the most recent quarter reported, assets of $118 billion -- third behind Apple and HP -- including $59.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
Naturally, there's been a lot written about Microsoft and Surface lately. One is Charles Cooper's CNET article entitled: As Microsoft retools, Ballmer has chance to rewrite his CEO legacy.
At the core of Cooper's analysis is how Microsoft is going to compete with Apple: sleek new Surface tablets, Windows Phone 8, which will ship in next-generation Windows Phones, and possibly new capabilities such as a complete mobile payment system. As Cooper noted, "Take that, Apple."
Certainly, competing with Apple is one driver of this gutsy make-it-or-break-it move for Microsoft. But in my view, the core of the story is really, "Take that, OEMs and channel partners."
To be fair, there are some who think that Surface is merely an attempt by Microsoft to get its OEMs to step up with better hardware product designs and that it will exit the hardware business as soon as they do. This is a seriously misguided view that partners would do well to ignore.
Microsoft's new world view
What's happening here is Microsoft is looking at this new world through a totally new lens -- and it doesn't like a lot of what it sees. The world is changing fast, yet its existing partners are too slow and add too little value. They've been reduced to speed bumps on what Microsoft perceives as its road to success.
Also in the post-PC era, staying close to the customer is everything. It's the only way to ensure a superior customer experience, which -- as Apple has demonstrated -- is a huge competitive advantage.
Apple achieves this by designing the hardware and the software for seamless integration and exercising strict control over the entire Apple ecosystem -- sales, distribution, services and support and even carrier partners. In contrast, until now Microsoft has pursued a strategy of licensing its software to hardware vendors, maintaining modest control at best over product and the consumer experience.
And here's one more factor driving this new Microsoft strategy. Owning the ecosystem is the best way to protect the monopoly-style rents Microsoft enjoys on the desktop. If delivering a great user experience is the customer benefit of owning the ecosystem, the vendor benefit is customer lock-in. If you want access to Apple's elegant design, interoperability, great apps and content, and intensely loyal customers, then Apple is the only game in town. In return, Apple takes a piece of everything that flows through its hardware.
So starting now, Microsoft will openly compete for customers with its longtime OEM hardware partners, including Lenovo, Acer, Dell and HP. That's terrible news for OEMs immediately. And that is just the start.
Microsoft also will move to displace its distributors and resellers, starting with distributors. What distributors provide today -- multi-vendor time and place, inventory and credit -- are low-value and low-margin services that Microsoft can easily duplicate, so it will. It will take a few more years for Microsoft to supplement resellers' retail storefronts, customer relationships and higher value services offerings, but that will happen too.
I don't know if Microsoft can pull this off. I haven't seen a company succeed at a transition of this magnitude since IBM moved from commodity hardware to enterprise services or GE closed the book on light bulbs in favor of aerospace and other high-tech breakthroughs. It's that big.
But make no mistake about it: as Microsoft focuses its considerable resources on a long-term strategy for winning in the post-PC era, the impact on Microsoft's partners will be seismic and swift.
