Last month I wrote a quick post about HootSuite, a great little multi Twitter service which let you track the click thrus to the links you post on Twitter via their site Ow.ly. The added benefit of using Owly was that it allowed you to integrate your Adsense advertisements into the link page, with your ads being shown half of the time and Owly ads being shown the other half.
There is clearly a demand for this kind of thing as a new url shortening service has been launched called Tweetbucks. Instead of showing Google Adsense ads, Tweetbucks shows ads from thousands of merchants from affiliate sites such as Commission Junction, Linkshare and the Google Affiliate Network. They pay 70% of the commission to you so if an affiliate pays out 5% you would effectively get 3.5% commission with 1.5% going to TweetBucks.
You do not have to include an advert in your shortened link. I shortened the TimeToTweet URL to http://bit.ly/dNi2M and did not include an advert. I then decided to include a frame and it was shortened to http://bit.ly/SHGof. This time the link added a large banner at the top of this blog, as seen below.

Tweetbucks pays out once a month to those who reach their $25 threshold. There is a $5 dollar sign up bonus plus you can earn 10% commission for a 6 month period from those you refer too.
