It works likes this, advertisers pay BinBucks to promote their stuff, you shrink a long URL such as: “http://incomeredefined.com/adfly-review-make-money-sharing-links” to “http://binb.ooo/Q1sVL“.

BinBucks Features
Link Shortening | Text Pasting | Organization | Customization
There are two main features, the link shortener and the text pasting tool. They both work very similar in that your visitors need to disable ad-block to view your links and you’ll get paid for their views. *Warning: You may see adult themed advertisements* Example shortened link: http://binb.ooo/Q1sVL | Example text paste: http://www.binbucks.com/site/paste?code=NmiDvhlzLdsa

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Folders for organizing links.
- Decent payout rates.
- GEO targeting for ads.
- Request a withdraw anytime you want.
- Advanced text editor for pasting.
- No pop-up or pop-under attempts.
Cons:
- Navigating the website is unpleasant and not user friendly. It’s poorly designed overall.
- Typos and grammar errors as far as the eye can see.
- Paste displayed an adult (18+) advertisement, and there’s no option to not display those kind of ads.
- Visitors have to disable ad-block to view your links.
- Captcha has to be solved to get to the destination link.
- The button’s text to get to the destination URL (not paste) says: “Click here to view paste”.
- Stats/analytics aren’t very great and the color scheme switches between “Overview” and “Analytics > Revenue”
Conclusion
Seeing a website with as many grammatical errors as this one has is just unacceptable- even if English isn’t your first language, it isn’t difficult to find an English speaker to spellcheck. I could look pass the poor grammar, but the adult themed ads showing up is a huge problem. So, until most of the above cons are fixed, I won’t be recommending BinBucks anytime soon.
