What can you learn with these numbers? There seems to be a great correlation between the number of pages there and the amount of money each person does with the website. Triond is the one that gets the least visitors with a very low Alexa traffic rank (when compared to these websites) but the one making the most money and getting the most page views per person.

Also there is a great correlation between the design of the site and the time people spend there. Associated Content looks awful and this translates in lower minutes a day in the site. Helium is the that looks the best, so they have the most minutes a day.

Squidoo is the site that offers the most freedom of design and speech and this translates in more links for them!

Associated Content has the most reach with almost 0.1% of the population, this means one in one thousand knows about Associated Content!

Helium which is the site with the most traffic should give the writers the most money per published article but this does not happen. Why? Because the number of articles submitted is so much that the traffic for each article is almost nothing. The average article on Helium earns zero, unless you qualify for upfront payments and this payment system suffered some changes that made it not profitable enough to pay attention to.

What else can you know about online writing with these numbers? You should keep a close eye on the number of indexed pages and the amount of traffic each network gets. The one with the less pages but the most traffic is the top choice and in this case is Triond. It’s a must to have enough traffic for all the people and not just a little bit to everyone like on other networks.

With Triond with one article you make about 100 times more than the same article submitted to all the networks above. Top editorial team with a great community makes Triond your only choice to online publishing.

Triond vs Your Own Blog?

It all depends on your business style. If you want an exclusive design and some more control over the situation, start you own blog. The other option, writing for Triond, gives you little control over the site, however you have access to exclusive traffic your own blog will never get. It all depends on your personal tastes. Here you need only to write. You do not need to pay a domain or hosting or whatsoever.
