First of all, as slow as it is, it is still much quicker to publish intel at Qondio than at sites that require an editorial review process. At Qondio, the screening process is crowdsourced to the user base - not assigned to an intern who has to review hundreds of articles a day.

Second, it doesn't matter if your intel is still in the queue being screened - you do not have to wait. Go right ahead and create another one, and add it to the queue. As soon as your first intel has been published, the next one will appear in the queue. You can be sunning yourself in the yard while your intel get published one by one.

Third, the available pool of screeners is not as large as it could be, because our system has banned a considerable number of people from screening. This is to ensure that those who might not be reading the intel properly, or otherwise be assigning unfair grades, cannot affect the grade of intel. Most users will agree that it is better to wait 2-3 days for an intel to be screened carefully by users who are giving it the attention it deserves, than for it to be screened hastily in 1-2 hours by users who are just randomly clicking on the grade.

Fourth, we are working to address the issues that have slowed the screening system down, so that screening times will come down in future.

It is possible that you have not added our authentication code to the website in question. You MUST added it to the exact URL you added to Qondio, not some other page on the same website (such as links.html or whatever).

There are two possible reasons.

1. The intel hasn't been published yet. Reward Points for screening is only applied when the full quorum of members has screened the intel, and the intel is rejected or published.

2. While you were screening it, another person screened it and fulfilled the quorum for screening. Consequently your screening did not get credit.

Qondio does not pay you anything except Reward Points, which are not redeemable. However, you can avail of advertising revenue sharing program, which does pay real money. You will be paid directly by the advertisers or advertising networks, not by Qondio.

You can change it yourself. Just click on "change username" in your dashboard, under SETTINGS.

We were getting a lot of sign-ups from people who weren't truly interested in link-building, and were only coerced into signing up by their friends and relatives who wanted to earn credit for referring someone.

The list of Top Users by Content Quality is compiled once every 24 hours and the process is 100% automated. The system draws up a ranking of top users by the number of original intel contributed (QuanRank), and another ranking of top users by the average grade of all contributed intel (QualRank). The two ranks are then combined into a composite rank.
