The Free IQ Experiment

By: Larry Christopher

Free IQ is a new site --still in the beta stage-- that may revolutionize the way people access information on the internet. It is free to join, and all members can both access and upload content. The focus is on material that contains valuable information of some kind.

There are already at least hundreds of videos and other items posted on Free IQ. While most video sites, such as YouTube, have content that is basically random, or entertainment-oriented, Free IQ is information-centered. While a lot of the content so far is related to the field of internet marketing (reflecting its first members, no doubt), the potential is there for people to share their knowledge in any realm.

When members post content to Free IQ, it is ranked by other members. This way, the content that people find most valuable rises to the top of the search engine. Whereas normal search engines are usually controlled by shrewd marketing tactics, the rankings at Free IQ are meant to reflect the value to users.

So the format of IQ is that of a search engine; indeed, the home page looks like a typical search engine page. The content, however, is much more focused and value-filled than on a typical search engine. There is also a social networking aspect to FreeIQ; a page where members describe themselves and can create their own mailing list.

There is also a two-tier affiliate program which is free to join. This means affiliates earn commissions on anything purchased by those who sign up under them, and also on the second level; that is, they earn commissions on sales made by affiliates of their affiliates.

Despite the commercial nature of much of the site, what stands out about FreeIQ is, as the name implies, the amount of free content. There is plenty of free content on the net, of course, but most of it is trivial. There's nothing wrong with trivia, but it's also good to have a place to be able to access some useful knowledge.

Free IQ may grow and prosper; or it may fade away. It all depends on how the market reacts to this experimental format. I am rooting for it because I see a chance for people to have a new tool allowing them to contribute and access vast amounts of information for free.
