Why Writers Earn More on Seekyt
81Writers are Raving
Many of the content authors at Seekyt.com have been raving how they are earning more money on Seekyt than on other revenue sharing writing sites, and they are doing so in much shorter periods of time than it took with other platforms.
This hub will analyze why Seekyt writers earn more money than similar sites, and examine the method for success at this website.
Simple, Fast, Transparent
Seekyt has been designed to be fast, easy to use, and easy to read, while retaining specific SEO properties. This goes far beyond the typical or traditional design model for revenue sharing sites.
One of the first things that you will notice when reading any of the pages created by a member at Seekyt.com is the lack of Seekyt brand promotion, the missing sidebar, and the focus on content. By focusing specifically on the content the author intended the page to be about, and optimizing the design around each page specifically, members have been able to rank well on Search engines and even do well with referred site traffic converting to income. The ads on Seekyt are not overbearing, yet the largest formats available easily fit right into the design. This allows for the maximum return on traffic possible. It is much easier to fit the page around your content, than it is to fit the content around the page - resulting in higher quality articles with large images able to be embedded.
The revenue sharing model at Seekyt is absolutely, 100% transparent, fair and in the favor of the author. There are no secrets around how much money someone can make on the site, and each click will award 100% of the revenue to a site member when their ads are displayed (70% of the time). Many members of revenue sharing sites are becoming disillusioned, disappointed, and simply angry at other sites taking full fiscal control of the efforts of authors. Seekyt allows members to totally control their content, and to remove it at any time, much like HubPages does. If a user has to be removed from Seekyt for inappropriate conduct, their content is automatically removed and the site is updated at the same time to get rid of all traces of their content. Seekyt does not continue to publish and earn money from people who have lost their ability to contribute. At the same time, only 2 members have ever lost their accounts on Seekyt.com due to inappropriate content. This is an extremely low turnover, considering the rate of growth at this website.
Seekyt.com aims to be a community, and not place to spotlight top-earners. Everyone gets the same exposure, and everyone has the same opportunities to succeed.
Money Is Made - Generous and Easy
Seekyt offers a 70% revenue split with authors. If you look at the top websites in the revenue-sharing industry, there is a reason that they do not share 100% with authors, or offer unrealistic compensation programs. If a website offers a writer 100% of the revenue, or even a referral program with 100% for referrals.. there is an inherent error that either breaks the terms of use with an advertising platform, or creates an unfair advantage for one of the 2-3 parties. Ad placement is key, so who do you think gets the advantage? Sites which typically offer 100% of the revenue do it to quickly fill up their member base with people who simply feel they are getting a great deal, who will spread the word about the site quickly, and put a lot of money into the pocket of the site owner. I don't need to mention the names of these sites, because if you ask most people who write for them or if you yourself have written for them, they will tell you the same story - there is very little money to be made when all activities on the site are self-serving.
Seekyt focuses on the community aspect of revenue sharing with what is one the most generous referral programs online. Writers earn 25% of the AdSense pageviews on every page their referrals create. That 25% comes out of Seekyt's end, not the author. Furthermore, every ad on the page will display the same person's ad at any given time. There are no unfair advantages for anyone, and there are no caps.
The Seekyt referral program is also unique because you can refer members using any Seekyt URL (again, similar to HubPages). That means people can link to other's content, and earn one another money while also working toward a goal of making their own money. It is a win-win-win scenario for the author, the referrer, and for Seekyt. The dynamic of Seekyt changes exponentially for every member that signs up. As membership rates increase, interaction increases and revenue increases for all parties involved. Currently, 90% of all content published on Seekyt will be interacted with within 24 hours of publishing - either resulting in a vote, a twitter share, a digg, a comment or a Seekyt friend being made. There are numerous channels set up for every author to easily link to their content or syndicate it directly to other websites, such as Digg (using the import RSS function).
Is It Any Wonder?
Members are telling me, almost daily, how their earnings and interactions with Seekyt are better than other sites. With more time and a few top-secret projects underway, it won't surprise me one bit if this feeling becomes mutual between 1,000's of authors all over the world in due time. There is still plenty of room to grow, and the ability to pivot, evolve and interact properly with the day to day changes of the internet is what will make Seekyt a continuous winner with authors interested in making money online.

I have to say that was the fastest sign up I've ever done...that alone makes me like it.
Signing up right now - thanks!!
Thank you. No complaints up to now. Interesting to see it evolve. I really need to do a bit more work bookmarking.
Thank you for a most re-assuring hub since I started writing there.
Thanks for the advice.
Signing up thanks.....
Already there and loving it! This Hub explains in great detail why Seekyt is superior to many of the "other" writing sites. Admin involvement, new and exciting features, community, no favoritism, and great fun. Good work going on at Seekyt!
Thanks for the "411" on Seekyt. I'm definitely going to check it out.
Okay, I'm confused. I took a tour of Seekyt and I didn't see anything that actually looked like an article (i.e., 400 - 600 words). What I did find was a couple of paragraphs ABOUT an article with a link to that article (on another site) in the title. So is Seekyt essentially a site that lets you create backlinks to articles you've written on other sites like HP or eHow??
Yes, howtoguru, your quick response is EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks so much for the article links. Actually, I've already signed up and was in the process of creating a profile when I saw your response to my comment in my email inbox. It makes sense to bookmark what I've already written first. Plus, I have one hub that has a score of 59 that I may delete and resubmit at Seekyt to see how it does. Thanks again for the links and thanks for creating Seekyt!!
I have one more question - hope it's ok to ask it here. I have signed up and am trying to determine if I need to enter my Adsense publisher's ID or some other code in order to start receiving Adsense income. If yes, how do I do this?
Never mind, I figured it out, unless you want to respond so other folk will know.
Thanks again! Ok, just thought of another question :-).
When you say "... (with the help of a few backlinks) ..." I assume you are using other social bookmarking sites to do this. I think I remember seeing your strategy in another Seekyt hub. Will have to look for it.
Looks interesting. Just signed up and getting ready to post a couple of articles.
I just signed up, and already saw traffic driven to my hubs. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for sharing this info. Sounds like another good source!
Aw man, I didn't realize you were the Hubpages guy with the spider picture...
The one avatar that I immediately get rid of on Seekyt is the spider one. I'm terrified of 'em.
On another note, Seekyt is a great site! One comment that I've heard from a few is that it's helped the traffic to other sites. My goal is to transform my bookmarks into articles so that the quality is higher.
Their referral page says 70%
Sounds great!
Great write up, a lot of useful tips.
thank you, rorshak sobchak
Time to test it I guess :) See you there!
The new Seekyt design made the website a better writing home for both existing and potential new members. A new 30 Days Challenge will be announced very soon, so hopefully, Seekyt writers will answer the call and increase their earnings even more :)
I'd like to add that, from my personal experience, Seekyt is worth every bit of time invested in site interaction!
I'd never even heard of this before reading your great hub, so thanks for sharing!
Seekyt is a really awesome site. I have been building a similar site myself. But I have to say that the layout, design, and features of Seekyt keep getting better. Keep up the good work! I really love the community that has built up around sharing good content, this is great!
