I don’t doubt you. There were many items that went viral. There was a large audience. When the site went down it’s hits and pay had dramatically dropped.
In Nov 2010 when there were 500k hits… that was down by half.
-
I signed up for Triond. I just never found my comfort level so I left.
-
That was odd, because it was so easy. You didn’t have to find an image, they’d give you one, and you had so many topics you could write about.
-
They kept rejecting my writing. I didn’t know why but it wasn’t worth being aggravated. 🙁
-
That is strange because Triond usually was press and publish… very little waiting time.
-
Strange indeed. Most people reported an experience similar to yours, not mine. That’s why I moved on. If you’re at a site and it’s working for everybody else except you, then leave. It’s not your site. You have no control. The owners don’t have to allow you to be there anyway. I wasn’t interested in an explanation. Either the site is easy for me to use or I’m outta there! Simple as that. 🙂
-

-
ah, you are not the only one!
When I first joined triond many years ago, I think it was in the 2012, I had earned 30 cents for the whole year, I got so frustrated that my posts didn’t get any traffic and were copied pasted by other cheaters, I closed my account and removed my posts to bubblews where I got paid, at least-
Again… that’s a bit strange. But with Triond, you had this whole aspect of sharing, with a pile of sites and what you learned to do was post, then start sharing like crazy..
I would say, that from 2007 – 2010 you could make $50 a month. It started dropping with Google’s Panda.

That should be a way of saying that if you do not have an invitation to go for a party please do not invite yourself. it is always courteous to ask. and let me know how did you manage to keep the lady out of your site. You have actually made my afternoon.
-
I went because people thought we were friends, not that I was merely her homework slave. I went, she never spoke to me again, but people made up stories why we didn’t speak…and I didn’t lose my status.
-
I had to go… remember, everyone thought Jalle and I were friends. I knew that if she caught me she’d say something and then could never ask me to do her homework again. So there were two upsides… the first… being at the Party, the second.. not having to do her homework.

-
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have heard about Scrib but never got around to signing up.
-
Once a site goes beyond demanding x words and image I’m out of there
-
Yes. Any site that wants to survive should make the experience user-friendly. Members come from all backgrounds with so much to offer. They may have a passion or expertise that could really pull in traffic to the site. But because the owners did not make the site easy to navigate, they get frustrated, give up and leave! It does happen! Owners need to recognize people come in at all levels of experience – newbies, intermediate and advanced. The newbie will get confused and leave because it was too hard to get started. The intermediate or advanced may have had experience elsewhere that was not as difficult, throw up their hands and say “Forget this! I’m outta here!” Know what I mean? Then again … maybe the site owners are new to the game and haven’t learned what to do themselves. Who knows?? (O.o)
-
-
-
me too…give me too much guff… I’m gone
-
And what about sites that edit our blogs and give it a new look wiping out your writing style. I am out of such sites too
-
I have never had that experience. The only time certain articles I wrote were edited, the editor let me know the changes and it was up to me to keep the article or trash it. What sites have you been at that edited your work to the point of wiping out your writing style? (O.o)
-
There is a particular new site which your work is ‘edited’. When you look at it… that is NOT what you said! It isn’t just a change of heading… it’s not your item.

For sure! An non-glowing bride is a really bad sign. 🙁
-
Happy brides, good marriages… when the husband speaks about her, his voice is bubbling. And she will smile when you mention her husband. Not Doris.
-
-
-
-
That’s a real life experience from which you learned a valuable real life lesson.
-
Yeah, people will believe just about anything and refuse to see reality.
-
-
yes, that is the problem with people believing in rumours, gossips and couldn;t figure out which is a prank joke after all
-
WE were trying to protect her. (Just take a guess why she couldn’t come back to school) so we made up something positive.
But it taught me that if you hate Obama you want to believe the worst of him. An item published on a site with no credibility will be held up as proof because people really want to believe the worst.
-
-
I have never liked pranks of any kind in my life ever.
Neither when i was small nor right now. For me every humour or fun should have a limit like every other thing in this world.
Somethings can never be accepted even if they are done only for the sake of fun
But I am happy you have learned a lesson for life.

Our TV gave us problems too when we tried to watch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics. At first, we couldn’t get any sound. Then when we finally got sound, they weren’t speaking in English!! Yeah yeah yeah. I’m a spoiled rotten American who thinks the rest of the world should speak MY language. My husband got tired of it, tuned out and started listening to his music videos. 🙂 You are spot on about the runners from Jamaica. Amazing! 🙂
-
They didn’t broadcast the whole opening ceremony here. And the events that we are in were a bit jumpy the first two days.
-
It is very interesting to see and look Jamaica Olympic Games on TV sitting at home with family and children but very bad the whole cremoney was not telecaster by the national and international channels for public.
But I think that Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will bid for a third successive Olympic 100m title, while world 200m silver medallist Elaine Thompson has been selected for both the 100m and 200m.
Other leading names on the team include world indoor 60m hurdles champion Omar McLeod, world shot put bronze medallist O’Dayne Richards and two-time Olympic 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown.
It is the biggest event on earth and most important for the public. Race is more important part of Olympic Games especially of 100mt because According to Live Strong, training for the 100m sprint “requires the development of strength, power transfer and flexibility”.
The 100m sprint can be broken down into the start, acceleration and maximum speed phases, says athletic trainer Phil Davies. Sprinters have to lean forward and deliver maximum thrust to their feet during the start phase for the first 10 meters, and then slowly move the body upright for the next 50 meters during the acceleration phase, and then go into long-stride deceleration during the final 40 meters of the race.

Yes, E.Q. is extremely important. Many 3rd & 4th World places never heard of it. I read about it myself…and have realised why some people who don’t have ‘on paper’ qualifications are so competent.
-
-
-
-
It will be interesting to see if any additional information can be gleaned from the find. Often, what we get from such digs is a few pieces of data and more questions than answers.
-
What I have always believed is that King Arthur was a real person. This find may prove that.
-
-
I have always believed King Arthur was a fictional person. However, if they happen to dig up a round table, I might start singing a different tune. 🙂
-
Life has taught me that many ‘myths’ or ‘legends’ have a lot of truth in them. The Flood really happened, (geological evidence)

Two types of recipes I’m starting to collect: sushi and tofu. This one will find its way to my foodie blog.
-
When you make it the first time you taste it and keep tasting and it’s gone. My carnivorous friend said it tasted like bacon.
-
-
Tofu which we call paneer here is in great demand specially with Punjabi dishes. Matar Paneer is the dish that is often seen in many restaurants. Your recipe looks interesting.
-
Tofu needs to be seasoned and made into what you want, not just fried and flung on a plate. Too many people don’t put effort into their tofu

If we can put up with commercials on tv channels there is no reason why we cannot put up with them here. As is known to everyone Ads generate revenue and putting an Ad blocker is wrong as the one who puts that ad blocker will get paid but through the efforts of others.
-
We don’t watch commercials. They often play to our empty seat. Having ads which interfere in one’s viewing of a site lead to people leaving a site. So many people use ad blockers. And they won’t stop. Not unless the Ads stop attacking the page.
-
How will you get paid if there are no Ads on writing sites such as this? Do you have a plan?
-
Here is the quandary… A visitor comes. Before s/he can start to read, a pop up obliterates the page. The visitor goes away. Another visitor comes, ads disrupt the item to the extent the visitor goes away.
In both cases, the hit does not count because it is less than 30 seconds.
An ad that is to the side would be ignored and not offend the visitor. A good ad with a useful item that might tie to the article; i.e. talking about computers and ads to the side, or cell phones, etc. would be useful.
-
-
-
-
And people will close the page. People will come on to see what was written, be attacked by ads and pop ups, and go.
-
-
-
If you do not want Ads to appear in your blog then you could have your own personal blog where there will be no Ads. In sites such as this you get paid from revenue generated through Ads.
-
The fact is, when a visitor is assaulted by so many ads and pop ups they leave. They don’t say…”Oh, I’ll sit here and take it because it is good for the site and the writer.”
You have to appreciate that the viewer has no vested interested in the site. They don’t care if the site lives or dies. They came here because they learned there was an article here on something they were interested in.
They come, too many ads, they leave, go to another site.

I got quite a bit of money from them back in the day, before they stopped paying out.
-
They tossed the money to attract more users and ripped off a lot… there were complaints all over the place. People had put in for many redemptions and never got them.
-
-
Bubblews was generous when it came to paying their members. They did not manage well and did not notice what was coming that ruined them. My only regret was that they selected whom to listen to. There was one member in whom they had great trust. Whoever that member reported they acted on without checking.
-
I believe may be Arvind had good intentions but he and his team was not mature enough and may be could not cope with criticism.
-
It was created to be a scam.
-
-
As I wrote; it was an unsustainable model. The owners knew what they were doing. They have degrees from prestigious universities. They’ve now moved to another trick site.
-
-
Unsustainable Business Model coupled with raising users’ expectations unrealistically was the reason of Bubblews’ downfall. What I hated was the way the owner of Bubblews – Arvind neglected the users in the end, and hardly shared the bad updates.
-
When I was in High School, we had a prank. And people believed the prank. And we ended it. Cause it was a prank. A people continued to defend it. And even when we told them it was a prank, then refused to believe it.
Arvind created a scam. He knew it from day one. He wasn’t prepared for how big it would get. He expected to double the money he’d invested, pay back Jason’s father and have a nest egg.
But Bub got bigger and bigger, and he saw $$ coming in. Instead of shutting it, he dragged out the payment, he changed the payment, etc.
I am sure if Dixit stood up and said…”Bub was a scam,” a swell of people wouldn’t believe him.
-
-
Yes I remember Bubblews it was one of the highest paying writing sites online with some users making as much as $300 U.S. Dollars a month. I didn’t make as much money as some others but I was there when the changes started happening. The site was very popular and gained tons of traffic. I was surprised when I heard they were closing down. I have no idea why this would happen. Since then I have seen other writing sites come and go, crash and burn. I don’t know if originally Bubblews realized how quickly they would grow and so they weren’t prepared and that is why they slowly stopped paying its members. Which I think was due to lack of funds. I would have stayed even if they didn’t pay because I wanted to be part of a social community. I am glad I was invited to join literacybase simply because of all the familiar avatars of writers who have migrated together, although the internet is constantly changing. My advice would be that if a site is going to survive, they should not depend on google adsense, because as soon as Google makes an update or they don’t like the backlinks on a site it becomes doomed. Diversifying advertising is the key in my opinion of future success for content writing sites.
-
Yes, diverse advertisement is very important. Adsense is not reliable.
-
-
I am not sure how the poster reached to this conclusion but I was paid for almost 4-5 times a month for almost 2 and a half years. My total earning from Bubblews was close to $4500 although I lost 3-400 in between.
-
You did not break any rule but if you redeemed at 25 or 50 you stood no chance of getting paid by that site because your bank showed 25 or 50 but in fact you were short of that amount on back end due to deleted accounts and comments on your work. I always kept a margin of $5 to $20 and never missed my redemption. That was the catch and I learned it through learned sources.
-
People say ‘you broke the rules’ as a talisman to protect themselves. They feel if the tongue clean the toes of Massa they’ll be safe. They had no idea why anyone wasn’t paid. The reason many people weren’t was because they didn’t live in the US. They didn’t have an Attorney General or an FBI which would investigate.
-
-
You should do a search of bubblews+rip off or bubblews+scam and see how many hundreds of people were ripped off. Put yourself oneside and look at the plight of other people… people who wrote and believed they would be paid… and weren’t. People who lived in non western countries where the $ was important.
-
-
Bubblews is so unfair. It shut down without paying its members. I think the admin of BB is just using the artles by the writers for their personal use, or recycle those published articles and sold them to a magazine.
-
That is exactly what happened. Bub wasn’t the first. Factoidz would take your items, get a lot of hits because they were considered a very academic site. They had a lot of first rate ads. They would let a good writer go about 100 items, paying very well. Then, lock out the writer and collect the revenue.
Bub didn’t have that high quality where thousands of people would go to read a page. (I am not exaggerating. Getting 16k views on one of your pages was nothing to brag about).
-
-
There are people in my country who are very bad people. They are nice to me. So I usually preface a remark with ‘that they were nice to me’ so as not to give the impression that they are nice people. They are not.
Too many people give Bub the ‘benefit’ of the doubt. They think… Oh they are good people, they really tried, they wanted to pay… and refuse to look at reality.
Bub was created to scam.
-
They knew what they were doing. They got your items and who knows what they did with them? There could be a site in India where your items are published… translated into Hindi…

Crunch sounds like BlogBourne – where the moderator and editor takes your article, chops and changes just so that it becomes seo friendly. I have surfed for one of the moderator’s posts on the Net and it is nowhere on the first page. So much for the seo friendly approach.
I am here to write and enjoy writing, telling the world asking them to listen to my talk in my words, in my language with my enthusiasm.-
I totally agree with you. That is my opinion exactly.
-
-
Instead of spending so much time on such a site, why not go for Mylot or some other existing site, or may be spend time enhancing one’s own blog, may be on Blogger or Wordpress.
-
Exactly my view.
-
-
A number of sites use the picky picky nature so as to deny payment and prevent you from reaching the threshold. The longer they delay the publication of your item, the longer it will take you to make a redemption.
No site pays that well as to demand this kind of work.
-
Yes, you say right that money online income is very slowly if someone makes a blog he will need adsense account to put on it for ads if you put the adsense account from where you will bring traffic for money online
Here are just some of the points Lisa talked about:
1) There Is No Step By Step Guide to Success
2) The “Write Quality Content” Buzz Phrase Needs Redefining
3) You Can’t Tell Everyone What You’re Up To!
4) Having No Background or Web Experience is Not an Excuse
5) Don’t Do This Just For The Money
6) SEO Plugins Are Grossly Overrated and Often Misunderstood
7) Free Can Cost You
8) Your Knowledge is More Valuable Than You Think
9) Building Quality Traffic is Hard Work
10) All Traffic is NOT Created Equal
11) Vulnerability Rocks!It is mots difficult for the newbie to earn from the new blog or web sites Today i’m going to show you one of the most simple way of making money online by using PTC site. This doesn’t require any special skills or any qualification.
Just by investing about 30-60 minutes a day on internet, you can make $1-$100 everyday depending upon how fast and accurately you can work. Now, as you can the procedure is explained in 5 simple steps shown below. This will help you understand what exactly you have to do.
-
There are sites which pay by Adsense and you can not use your own site.

That is a scary story. You have to be careful with who you leave your children with these days. I worked as a nanny for quite awhile and I was always background checked and had to provide references, all those kinds of things before I was hired.
-
Yes, but even then… if the child bonds with you… then the parents are squeezed out. Parents have to be more hands on.. even with a Nanny and try to have time alone with the child.
-
-
One has to be careful. Think of the hard working mother who is doing the best for her child. And her child being turned against her by the Nanny so that she never loves her own mother.
-
That’s very sad. It has become a common occurence where Nancy’s are doing crazy things in the homes where they work. There are those who cross the lines and start reducing theme of the house with the way they carry themselves around. Then there are those who literally poison the kids against their parents. I may not know the exact reasons why they would do such things but it’s very unfortunate. We are always being told that parents should pay close attention to their kids always try to find time to eat with them play together and that way the bond between them and the kids will be very tight that the nanny’s won’t have the chance to come between the parents and the kids. But nowadays the roles have been turned around kids are literally been taken care of by the nanny’s so what else does one expect if that is what is happening in the house. I have a neighbour who never spends time with her kids and is forever changing nanny’s it is a risky affair to keep bringing different people into your house. Your kids may adopt the behavior of being rude and unkind to everyone because they think your not serious about anything. We all know how kids can speculate things.
-
It is better to change Nannys often than to allow one, like Yvette, to poison a child against her own mother. Many women have to work or the family will starve. She doesn’t want to leave her children, she must. The person who is looking after the children is there because she is paid, not because she wants to be there. Turning the child against the mother might be her way to steal.

I don’t think my region has seen a bad hurricane since Katrina. I live too far inland to be affected my one but I normally help out those who have left their homes because of one. Sometimes listening to weather channels does no good. Hurricane’s and tornado’s come when they want to.
-
Not just that… these storms can be tracked if the tracker has his pocket on the line. With Boatus, they insure yachts. If your yacht is berted at Danny’s marina and they say it’s safe… and then the storm hits… then they pay. So they are very picky. If they see that it could be damaged.. they will tell you to move your yacht.
With standard weather channels, shrug a shoulder when it is worse than they predicted, or goes in a different route.
-
Yes, there is a time to sow and there is a time to reap just like hurricane season is fixed according to law of nature and If you are planning to travel to regions of the world often affected by hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones,
please carefully consider the potential dangers and inconveniences associated with your travel before finalizing plans. You should have an emergency plan in advance of your departure. Even areas far from the coastline can experience dangerous winds, tornadoes, mudslides, and floods from seasonal storms.
Hurricane season chart
The below chart is a guide to storm seasons around the globe. Keep in mind that storms have occurred outside of these months.Region

Nothing! These are just different terms used by different regions of the world to describe the same weather phenomenon. The term “hurricane” is used in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific; “typhoon” is used in the Northwest Pacific; and “cyclone” is used the South Pacific and Indian Ocean
