Ack! As a writer with a relatively new aim to have an outstanding voice, news of this kind is kind of discouraging. On the other hand, those who do have a really good voice will float to the top. I stumble on quite a few blogs that have a great voice but aren’t totally up there with the rankings or engagement, but I see them change as time goes on. So in the end, I think content given in a unique voice will win out over sold content. Having said that, I see that the “end” is further away than it used to be.

Interesting post Chris, and a great comment by Rusty. In order for a piece of content to carry some clout it should come from a reliable (/expert) source, and that is the things with weblogs – they are so easy that just about anyone can blog… problem is that just about anyone does blog. Maybe this is simply a different tier of content provision (and pricing) compared to that of the contributors of Time / Life etc, and if so then yes, there’s plenty of room for it and I’m sure there’ll be some gems from budding ‘breakthrough experts’.

Lee.

As I look over Triond’s network, where they give authors’ content exposure I’m a bit worried by the 2007 copyright notice at the foot of each page, and that the majority of the sites are showing Ad Council and charity ads…

So ok, you can put your content on these networks, and eventually someone might bump into them but it’s a bit chicken and egg. If a high traffic site offered me a share of revenue, great, but if I was just going to have my content disappear on an anonymous site…well, I could probably do better myself.

Perhaps Triond is waiting for the mass of articles to generate a long tail of occasional traffic which finally gains momentum -but right now, they just seem to be pooling together 50% of the ad-pennies from a bunch of sites which seem to have been set up and forgotten about.

I wasn’t aware of triond before now. sounds like a completely viable idea to me. It’s funny how so many people would discount an idea simply because they wouldn’t use it themselves.

Hi Chris,
I am at work now, so I may not have taken time to look at Triond long enough, but I don’t see where you can “sell” your articles. It looks to me like they publish your articles on their own sites and monetize them with Adsense or whatever and split the revenue with you.
If that is the case, then I’d be much better off starting my own blog network about my subject as I am sure I can dominate any of Triond’s sites.
Am I off base?

Chris,
Utility? That depends upon circumstances. In comunication online, it´s all very relative. Choices are. http://overjobs.blogspot.com/2009/03/no-adwords-in-my-blog.html

It’s a great question, Rusty. I think it’s a worthwhile question, but not one I’m equipped to answer. That’s more a @stevegarfield or a @danielaschorr, etc. Important as all hell.
