    Here's what I'm looking for.... let me know if you might be the one to work with me.

    Currently
    * Have review site structured to cover endless topics
    * Adsensed/YPN's w/ good conversion (well, except for YPN)
    * 4 mths old - low traffic - 70% ppc traffic tells me the income structure works
    * fully indexed w/ PR3-4 (but no traffic w/ it)
    * been submitting to free dirs mostly but other than that very little promotion because of time limitations recently

    Looking for...
    * a business partner to write reviews and help promote the site
    * i pay you to write one page product reviews at the going rate
    * with the right person.... i'll agree to profit share w/ you as income rises for your particular page/articles

    This person will have....
    * excellent writing skills
    * solid seo & general web marketing understanding
    * honesty, good communication, reliability
    * An english speaking American
    * an understanding of ethical marketing and income TOS rules

    This person will do what?
    * work with me to determine new topics
    * write one page reviews on a variety of topics
    * PROMOTE their pages (and the site in general)
    via.... article submits, directorys... everything in these forums (legit)
    * communicate w/ me on a regular basis re: our progress

    How?
    * i share tracking code so that you can also watch traffic to your pages (one page = one review)
    * WITH THE RIGHT PERSON, i share adsense/YPN data and give you 20%-30% of profit FROM YOUR PAGES on a monthly basis (nothing legal unless we made it big... wishful thinking, but hey, always possible) - right now it's all break even w/ PPC expenses but would be nice without that
    * AND EVEN MORE WITH THE RIGHT PERSON, we do the whole thing together with free open sharing and 50/50 profit.... but we'd have to be almost in love to do that! :)
    * in short term, i paypal you direct for articles at going rate

    Please don't email / post asking for a link to the site. Also, if you've been banned from Goo/YPN don't even try as I'm not the way back in. Please send me info on why you think you're the one to do this with me. Also, tell me what you've done in the past, what sites if any, writing examples, etc I'm serious about it but I need to filter people quickly as i got flooded on a different site but from mostly wanna be writers and foreign people blocked out of ypn or adsense. You're not going to get rich tomorrow but w/ the right mix of luck and hard work, this could be good for both of us.

    Even if not interested... any input or advice on the profit sharing idea?

    We are currently working in a profit/profit relationship collaborative article network, (but it's in Spanish), I'll explain, in few lines, our business model:

    Article writter gets, 100% of generated ppc revenue for the current month, on ads shown on his article pages. General listings and category or sub-category goes to us. And if he reaches the minimum articles/day/month, next month he recives 30% revenue of articles written last month, and also 100% of current month.

    This way someone who wirtes constantly earns constantly, and someone who writes fewer earns less.

    This business model is prepared to handle a minimum of 50-100 wirters in rotation at least, over 40-80 topics.

    Let me now what do you think of this. hope it helps.

    Hi Bronsti,

    I'm not interested myself, but for input and advice... well I hope it's okay to post the following on here. If you feel it might affect your efforts, please let me know and I'll remove it.

    Good luck with your search, however I think you might be looking in the wrong places. Recently I've been looking for the same kind of people for the same kind of position and partnership. At the moment I'm doing all the writing, SEO, dev, design, todo for my site and it's killing me, so I was looking for someone else to do the writing part of it.

    Anyway, I had another idea for how to find people like the ones you're looking for and I don't mind sharing it on a one to one basis. PM me if you'd like to talk more about it.

    As for the profit sharing idea, I think it's a good one. Like I said, I had the same idea myself not too long ago. I guess you could set them up with their own Adsense account and put their codes on 1/3 of the ads, for example, right? This was my plan.

    To Jocs: That's a good one. I didn't see your post before my last one (remind me to hit F5 :)).

    Mind if I use it too? Hehe. You mentioned it's in Spanish, are you based in Spain?

    I find that usually the first month has the least earnings, as the page is not indexed. BTW, are you looking at spending serious money promoting the pages -- PPC and stuff?

    Yep, we will promote our pages via PPC, but not only PPC, also CPM (Cost per Mil, in Spanish we call it CPM, its when you pay per 1000 impresions) and "in paper" traditional publicity -> paper magazines, here in Spain.

    Of curse, if someone only writes 5 articles and nothing more, the current month will only earn few bucks.
    But if someone works a little more, you can get really good earnings, I forgot to tell you, but all articles have been in 1st position of frontpage, when they are written, if you have a decent amount of visits, visitors come to you homepage, and go to the first 4 posts the most times, article writter earns from theme too (clicks for his post page are from him first month, doesen't matter where they come). Also in our sistem if he have reached the minimum, he will earn 30% (err.. 33% -> 1/3 of impresions are for him) of the last month, that will generate visits from archives, category, natural links and SE natural search.

    of curse not, use it and improve it, and remember to tell us how is it going!

    Yes, from Spain in Spanish only! (As you can see, my english is not the best one here in DP ;) )

    But "jocs"... does that mean Catalan or Spanish? I'm in Barcelona actually, which would be why I know the word joc. ;)
