Pay is 99% of Adsense revenue (via Adsense API) on an established site that is picked up by Google News. This blogger should plan on covering news about new applications, gadgets, and tech industry developments. This includes browser news. If you are contemplating starting your own blog about the tech industry, you might consider joining us instead. We have built in traffic, a premium domain for this (see my sig line ... ... and draw your own conclusions ... ) with lots of googlejuice already. Take a look at the site, if you're curious. (We're expanding into more pop culture and tech industry news, FYI, so if this seems "outside the area of focus" it's because there's a site expansion planned.) Since this is a new area for us to expand into, I'm being choosy about the person picked to cover it. However, I expect that this has the potential to be a high profile, high traffic position. -- Leva

Thanks Marcel, I'll keep that in mind. I might add that I have a very writer friendly TOS -- basically, if you're not happy with the site, you can delete your work and post it elsewhere, where you think it'll do better. Also, it does get a fair amount of traffic, though not, likely, $15-20 per individual article's worth. We've also had multiple front page articles for Digg (and other social networking sites) and Google News. We've also had articles linked to by some fairly significant sites, in addition to Gnews and the networking sites -- check our backlinks out in Yahoo or Interspire: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch?p=http://firefox.org&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s http://technorati.com/blogs/firefox.org?reactions=&sort=authority -- Leva
I wish I could give you a straight answer to that one, but it's not that simple. I've had an article that ended up on the front page of Digg, was linked to by Cnet and 1000+ other sites, got tens of thousands of pageviews in one day, crashed the (dedicated) server, etc ... make less than $1. And I've had a single click make $7. Most people on the site are probably making less than $2 an article. But that's for entertainment industry articles. We're expanding into tech/gadget coverage at least partly because I've noted it gets more traffic from new sources, and a higher percentage of clicks, and our regular readers will read it as well. However, I don't have enough of a baseline to say what an "average" article will make. (Plus, there's no such thing as an "average" article. I've quite trying to predict what will get good traffic. A three paragraph article on the most obscure subject imaginable will get linked to by a major blogger and get several thousand views. A snarky, opinionated article on something topical and timely will get totally ignored. Go fig ... ) So the bottom line is, I really, truly, honestly can't say what a blogger for this position will make. Particularly since it's a new area for us. On the other hand, it's an established site. If someone has been thinking about starting a blog like this anyway, blogging with us is like being given a head start in a race. There's already established traffic, good rank in the search engines, and a decent site design. -- Leva
LevaCygnet Can we add our biographies and links to our flasgship website within those biographies ? Just to get noticed. No keyword seo abuse, only the site name with the link would be used.
I have absolutely no issue if you want to put a few links in your bio to your own site. Every writer has a bio that appears with every article they post. Many of my writers do link to their own sites. I'd object if it was more than a handful, or if it was a link to a "bad neighborhood" because of the potential appearance of link spam. I'll respond to the PM you sent tomorrow -- I've been up and working since 5 AM and it's 10PM now. -- Leva
