Why? Even writers who submit dozens of articles might not make that mark, given that many articles pay out only a few cents (it is all based on pageviews). 300 articles over 1 very busy week netted me just over $5 (which was subsequently denied to me because of a supposed violation of ToS).

This is not bookmarking, this is self-promoting. I've talked to some people that promote their stuff on Simpy to try and understand their thinking. Some know what they are doing (polluting, kind of) and keep doing it anyway. Some are just clueless (work from home, write articles, sign-up for affiliate programs, revenue sharing of any kind and make a killing! right.). Amazing. Question for everyone here: How far is this self-promotion from spamming, when it comes to people "bookmarking" their own content to social bookmarking services? What's your opinon? I'd love to know.

The question is, is this an adjunct to the Web 2.0ish meta-filtering or is it superseding it? I tend to believe that most people who blog or produce content online will continue to avoid the hassle of actually dealing with this profit sharing services until they can integrate them into their own blogs (I think PPP is doing something like this). I guess we'll have to wait and see. Starting with Pay Per Post and moving through to sites like Helium and now HubPages it seems like the age of consumer generated content is on the rise.

YouTube has just started sharing revenue with their top contributors, and there are few more excellent services such as www.triond.com, www.helium.com and www.associatedcontent.com. Is altruism is disappearing from the user-generated-web? Maybe so. Nevertheless, compensating upon contributing sounds fair for me. Revenue sharing with content owners seems quite hot these days.
