I really have no clue on how Triond establishes how much you make per view on our articles.
I have an article that has as little as 9 views which made 2 cents. Then I have others that have a significant more views and are not making cents at the same rate, so I came up with a mystery.
Does anyone know how this work? I just assume that it depends on the site that your article gets published, which in turns depends on the topic. I again assume for example that travel articles pay less poetry, and this is just based on a couple of my articles and their performance.
I wonder if anyone has ever seen how this work, or if it all is perfectly explained anywhere in the site.
I am not calling for transparency at this time, although that would be nice, but after a couple of years writ ting on this site, I am thinking that I trust Triond just because I do, because I have been here for two years and received some minimum payment, so I know it is not a scam, but just because I think it is not a scam.
And the question here is, if it in fact is a different rate based on site, based on topic, and I was able to know which site pays better, would I write more on such topic just to make more money? Not sure, inspiration does not come from dollars, although that helps motivation, at least mine.
If you ever wonder this, just know you are not alone. If you figured it out, you might be, or at least I’m not there.
In any case, I appreciate the business opportunity, I have expectations on my revenue stream that at this point are reasonable for me, so I’m not complaining.
But the mystery will exist in my mind until some good old Samaritan can shed in some light.

I don’t think it is about views. I think it is about Ad clicks. Expertscolumn is about views and Triond is about clicks.

Good luck figuring that one out.

Thanks everybody for their comments. We do get paid per views, that’s the only explanation to us getting a content $ amount in our dashboard even when we do not have Google AdSense revenue, right? In fact, that’s what I like about Triond, but still can’t figure out how it is calculated! Unless someone tells me that Triond has its own adds (not Google AdSense ones) that pay in Triond.
In any case…, big hit! I have never had so many views on an article in a single day!
Thanks everyboy,

I hope it helps you.

It is based on both clicks on ads on your articles and views. Sites such as socyberty and scienceray tend to pay the best (roughly $1.00 to $1.30 per 1000 views but that is a rough estimate, sometimes it will be lower and sometimes a little higher depending on ad clicks) The other sites tend to pay a little lower. By far the worst paying are authspot and quazen at least in my experience. So far for the past two months, I am averaging about $1.20 per 1000 views but most of my articles are on socyberty and scienceray. Hope that helps.

Triond does not only have Google Adsense Ads running on pages. They also have Chitika ads, Infolinks and Kontera. Reverseinternet.com suggests that Triond also has Amazon Ads and Commission Junction Ads but I do not see the last two at present.

Here is my take on this: http://webupon.com/marketing/does-triond-operate-by-views-or-clicks-or-both/

I think it depends on the website your articles are published in. One article of mine I published a few weeks ago accumulated over 1000 views, but only amounted to 80 cents, lol.

I’d like to add that I honestly agree with shelpeare. It’s based on clicks and the website that you’re on. There’s no way that i can be based on views, because the statistics seem to be so random.

Probably both clicks and views, and probably it depends on WHERE your post is published.

I too wonder but I do know that health related articles are more successful.
