Bukisa is Already Feeling The Pinch

A month ago, Bukisa changed its pay per view paying principles to Google Adsense only. The final date for the change –over was January 11th, 2011. That is today, but already Bukisa is constrained to take defensive action as writers desert it looking for better places to publish.

About a month ago, Bukisa announced the end of its pay per view era. If you want to earn with Bukisa, from now on it will only be possible to do it through Google Adsense. In the change-over, they also cheated everybody out of their down-lines. I understand that for some people that was a heavy blow. Not for me, I am too busy writing to go looking for people to join.

About a month ago Triond embarked on a major overhaul of the dashboard. Visit Trends and Top Referring Sites were changed from showing unique views overall to unique views per article. The Traffic Geo Distribution gives you an idea where your articles are of interest and where your readers are hailing from. I for one noticed with some astonishment that only 39 percent of my traffic comes from English speaking countries. Less surprising is 66 percent of traffic coming from European countries.

Using Abbreviations Correctly, E.g. V. Vs. Vs. Etc

I noticed that abbreviations are used more and more sloppily by British media, usually being just plain wrong. This is probably just a further fall-out from the excellent education system in Britain where most pupils leave school unable to read and write.
