I am also a myLotter that has joined LB, I actually heard about the site on my lot so thought I would try it out. I see a few people from here and mylot are also on forum coin so I am planning to join that site as well and see how it goes. Every site a person joins is a good way to interact and on top of it an awesome way to earn a bit extra to…[Read more]

It’s annoying indeed and I will say that this unprofessional ism will not help theme much even if they manage to earn big through other means.

Kaylar, you have started a nice job,keep it up!

I joined Hubpages about the same time as you did.  The earnings weren’t bad.  They collapsed in 2010.  After that 5c a month was pretty standard.

Why write so many words, so many images, and get so little?

And when you look at their ‘top’ stories, they are nothing I much care to read.

I am Hubpages member since 2009. So I have seen hubpages ups and downs. And now I can see that they are getting non google traffic. So yes, they did survived. It’s not easy to survive more than 11 years on web. They are doing it. With adblcoker it would be harder. But let’s see what happens.

If you Join Hubpages, you aren’t going to make much money.  The kind of stuff they publish which gets views, is as you say, niche.   If you find the niche and you are interested in that stuff… fine.  If you want to write what you want to write about, don’t expect many views.

They can’t rely on Google because they are the capital of Content Fa…[Read more]

I think in between swagbucks and the efforts put into Mturk. I would say a lot of people can go for the MTurk. Because it’d be easier to learn MTurk and make some small percent of money. Otherwise you know both of them are going to earn low.

Hubpages is not relying on google SEO and the adblocker. So they are working hard on so many variables. It means they are going to find better way to get traffic. Hubpages hardly gets traffic from googel anymore but they are making good money. Hubpages is using niche site to get traffic and they are also running newsletters and social media…[Read more]

Swagbucs is not useful for Indians. Not only less survey, there are another problems also. the swagbucs code that they post in their Facebook page or other sites, never do work for India. I have several times tried to put the CODE, but always showed IT IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR YOUR REGION. Thats why I don,t open Swagbucs anymore.  Even there is not…[Read more]

Adblocker didn’t destroy Helium.   Helium did it all itself.  Who wants to waste time on such a site?  Imagine researching some topic, writing, posting….and your item is discarded. Nah.

I guess lot of sites are dying so the people are scattered around. So mylot, forumcoin and Literacybase have the common people around. It’s fun to have familiar faces around. That way it does not get bored. You too have a good week ahead.

HubPages is still ‘active’, term used loosely.   It once paid fairly well, had many good writers, and had Twelve MIllion Hits a Month.   Twelve Million.   Getting 1k hits on an item was minor, as many writers got so much more.

The site demanded long articles with lots of images.

Then, in 2010, something happened.

The Top Writer stopped re…[Read more]

Helium died way before adblocker. So I guess their exit definitely helped the owners. As you know it’s hard to make money from ads now. So it’s really a trouble to see how many sites these days are going to pay. Afterall, we can’t see sites surviving despite having adblocker.
