Arc.io Review
In their own words, “Arc is a two-sided marketplace. On one side of the market, websites buy a fast, low-cost peer-to-peer CDN. On the other side, websites make money by contributing bandwidth to the peer-to-peer CDN. Arc’s widget provides access to both sides.
We turn bandwidth into dollars by uniting browsers into a distributed content network that we rent. Think screaming-fast BitTorrent for every website that’s seamless and native to the web. Websites pay Arc to make their sites faster by serving their static content (images, videos, JS, CSS, etc) from Arc’s global, distributed network of browsers instead of from slower, more expensive, centralized servers.
” and anyone can join the network, whether you have a single or a million monthly visitors.
Setting up Arc.io
Setting up Arc.io on my blogs was fairly easy. The whole process, from signing up to testing in production, took me a little under 10mins. Initially, I used their WordPress plugin but for some reason, the integration didn’t work properly. I had to install the code manually in the header tag of my site using this plugin Header and Footer.
The process took me a little under 10mins, It may take you a little longer if you’re not comfortable copy/pasting a few lines of code, but I think anyone tech-savvy enough to have a website will be able to get around the challenge.
Arc.io Impact on the user experience
I didn’t notice any change in the speed of my website after installing Arc.io.
How much can I make with Arc.io Impact on the user experience?
On the Arc.io homepage, they have a calculator which can estimate your earnings but the estimate is far off from your real earnings. I have multiple websites using arc.io with a cumulative 30k users daily but I earn around 5usd daily. Some users with just 1k users daily also make around 5usd daily. There isn’t any definite way to estimate your earnings with Arc.io. As far as am concerned they just assign any amount they feel like to your account daily.
How do Arc.io Pay
After you’ve successfully set up your site, a few days after registering an Arc.io representative will visit your site to make necessary checks. If they are ok with your site they will change your payment status from pending to approved.
Note that until they manually check your site you won’t get paid.
Payment Proofs
Conclusion
Arc.io is very good for sites that are unable to monetize with Adsense also if you already have ads on your site you can also get extra income with Arc.io. You feel free to test it out and share your feedback using the comment section.
