In over 1 and 1/2 years I have accumulated just over $120 (including the so called bonus for being a feature writer). Most months my earnings are around $20.

I did not see this mentioned in this article.....and, I cannot find information about it on their website.... eHow (the top dog in this industry) does not offer this. There are many sites that don't. Info Barrel offers a lifetime ad revenue share on all referrals. Also, does Suite101 offer a lifetime percentage of referral’s earnings, as well?

We have the best revenue-share program online: averaging $3.90 per 1000 pageviews, and writers’ earnings get paid-out forever, there’s no time limit." This is NOT true. On Info Barrel, I earn 75-90% (I consistently do 90%) of Adsense Ad Revenue Generated. In my honest and humble opinion, this arrangement is much more lucrative than a flat payment per 1,000 views... What happens if a writer writes an amazing piece of content, yet is unable to achieve 1,000 page views after great promotion, and search engines don't find their article for one reason or another......then, they are left with absolutely nothing.... if their article gains 900 views, the writer gets nothing, yet, the ad revenue generated from those 900 views is pocketed by the company.... not very "fair" and not look out for the best interest of writers, if you ask me.... “1.

You are clearly making a lot more with your content than 99% of most writers. While it is very rare to make that much (which, btw I assume you could make more with on Suite101 because they pay higher) the content you choose obviously has high paying advertisers because the average earnings for The Examaminer is a fraction of what you're making. Kudos to you though, you're doing something right - I suggest you try spreading the wealth further with the same vertical on other writing sites. Best! Jennifer Hi Rockwell,

A $9-$10 CPM is outrageously high. Even if Examiner was paying out 100% of ad revenue they would be hard pressed to generate that type of CPM. If you talk to other Examiner writers you'll find their CPM is more in the neighbourhood of $1.50-$3.00 (myself included). ~Jennifer I have to say, I’m a little skeptical Rockwell.
