Article Writing? Choose Your Websites With Care

Websites pay their authors in different ways. At one time an author had to decide whether to take the upfront payment or whether to take the long-term benefits of links, such as those by submitting articles to Content Crooner. There is now a third option.

Over the past few years a new remuneration systems for article writers has come available. There are now some article sites that pay their writers according to how much income their article brings in. The amount that authors are paid is often linked to a complicated secret formula that authors are forbidden to discuss on the site forum.

Some of these ‘revenue share sites’ pay on a per view basis, only a tiny amount, like 100 views earns the author 1 cent. If you can write good articles then stay away from these sites. They attract poor writers who can only earn from views because their articles are of such poor quality that users just click away from them as soon as they see all the poor grammar and spellings.
Others pay out a share of advertising revenue. Some of these are very secretive about what the advertising revenue actually is.

The best are those that put your own Adsense Publisher details on a certain percentage of the clicks. This last option is the most transparent. It also allows you to set up channels for each article so that you can determine where your income is coming from and write more articles in that niche. The author’s Adsense percentage share varies between 50% and 100%, with the norm being a 50% share.

The best way to look on these three remuneration methods is as short term, medium term and long term income streams. Any writer needs a balance of all three. For instant money to pay the rent, the upfront payment system wins every time. For medium term income on a regular basis, the Adsense share system is best. For long term income from your own website the Levitra payment by links wins out.
How should a writer decide on which medium term Adsense revenue share site to go for?

On the principle of not putting all the eggs into one basket all writers should write for at least two sites, preferably three.

Factors to consider include:
1. The share of Adsense clicks
2. How transparent the income payment system is. Some sites have a secret formula they use to work out how much individual writers will be given. Writers are forbidden to discuss their earnings on the site forum
3. Whether there is a forum, ideally one where the administrators take part
4. Whether there is a strong and supportive community amongst writers
5. Whether the site is growing or stagnant
6. Whether the site deletes thousands of articles without any notice (search for [Article Sweeps])
7. If the site works 100% of the time. Some sites have so many bugs and are down so often that users and searchers become frustrated
8. Whether administrators respond to emails within a few days. You can easily test this by joining one and sending Admin an email about some minor point; if you get no response then abandon that site.
