Evaluation of online article publishers.

I have published articles in several places and felt that others might be interested in my experiences with some of them.

                I have been publishing with them for many months and now have over 100 articles with them.  It’s a writer friendly publisher but earnings are very slim.  After 9 months I had accumulated less than $50 from Google Ads.  Google adds pays out at $100.

Knol.

                Very confusing and I no longer publish there.  I could never find out how payment was made.

InfoBarrel.

                One of those places I no longer publish at.

Seeky.

                One of those places I no longer publish at.

WikiNut.

                Very interesting place to publish. It uses a section format similar to Hub Pages. I have accumulated many viewer points but very little income. This is the only one I have seen that allows you to used previously published articles.  I have been removing articles from Hub pages that are no longer getting views and republishing them on WikiNut.  This is also a British site and you have to convert currency from pounds of dollars.  The writers are very friendly and give lots of comments on articles.

Bukisa.

                Not a favorite place, payout is at $10 which is nice but very slow to accrue that income. After having published 20 articles I had earned only .19 cents.  I keep on publishing.

Triond.

                This publisher has multiple areas to place articles.  I like publishing with them.  It was slow at first.  They pay at .50 cents which is great.  It took 3 months to get my first payout but I got one the very next month and for a little more. I keep on publishing with them also.

Suite 101.

                Unfortunately this publisher and I parted ways after they felt that I was cross publishing the same articles.  I had been publishing with them for several months and earned $7, which they claimed I forfeited for violating their rules.
