First project released, blipt.com

Get paid to refer badly designed websites…

The WebEquity project has now come full circle with the release of the first end-to-end project, http://blipt.com/

blipt.com offers a cash incentive for referring badly designed websites or under-utilised domain names. The idea is to provide website owners with objective feedback about problems with their sites that might otherwise go unreported. They then have the choice to fix the problem, sell the business, or, of course, ignore the advice.

If the owner decides to engage commercially, either to fix or sell the website, the referrer of the website could be paid a finders fee of up to AU$1000.

In order to make referring a website as simple as possible, founder Paul Middleton has developed buttons for both the Google Toolbar and Firefox that refer the current page URL with a single click. The referrer completes the referral form with their email address, plus a brief description of what the problem is (this is optional, but the more detail that’s provided, the more likely the referral will result in something), and the rest is up to blipt.com.

The idea isn’t to create bounty hunters, scouring the web for badly designed sites. Once you’ve installed the toolbar button, it just sits there until, in a week, month or year’s time, you come across a website that needs some help.

It is hoped that the project will keep WebEquity members busy with new projects for some time to come.
