It's one thing to help each other out, but you have to be careful. Eventually you get to where people are returning favors by clicking ads and doing other things that defeat the purpose of paying writers or having PPC ads.

What you're doing is perfectly fine though, don't feel like I am bashing you. Your motive is to help your readers and the writers. The issues come in when people are doing it to get paid. What kind of articles do you publish on your blog?

That's a good idea.  Maybe there could be a clearinghouse for that type of thing.

Your thoughtful heart is making me smile. I think too often people are in competition with each other on writing sites so it is refreshing to read about someone wanting to help others. Great idea. Count me in. I put an article on my blog and advertised it for you on social site too. I will attempt to visit you once a week and blend your material with what I have  on site. Thank you for your great giving idea.

I help others by Buzzing Up their articles.  Of course, this works both ways because I can then add an article for others to Buzz Up.  Occasionally, I add links to other people's articles in my own writing.

I have just opened a new blog in yahoo groups.  Please visit the blog -  writingarticlesforrevenue.  It will surely help all the article writers as well as the sites we may be giving our articles too.  It is a unique idea for creation of revenue as well as for helping each other.

Excellent advice to follow. I will definitely do it.

I couldn't agree with you more, but this is not always the case. Even when you vote for someone or leave a comment they often do not bother visiting your work, so I really don't know if they are happy helping others earn money. What is youe web address as this is a topic that intesests me - the disabled one that is. Could you send it to me (Jill Vance) in a private message if you do not want to post it here. Thanks

This seems like a good idea to me. However, linking is advisable when both sites are both on the same/relevant niche. My other website:  www.howtogetridofbackpainguide.com would be a good site to link to you. How about that?

If I find any articles that is suitable for my site, I would definitely linked them with mine. I guess it would be good if we can help others, then maybe one day, others may help us in return.

It seems that no body is clicking ads now a days particularly those who are writing in money making websites like factoidz, triond, squidoo, bukisa, etc. Backlinks are created. But the money earning from adsense is not increasing. If we say like there are 100 views a day there is not even a single cent earning. It is really bad. We are not clicking ads if we want to go to that website shown in advertisement. Am I correct?

Zanil: It has nothing to do with Google ads, etc.  What I am talking about is  for example:

I have an article here about cheap christmas gifts.  But if another writer also has written on the same topic, but with a new set of ideas, which I have found, I put the link of their article in my article.  I have a blog that is full of snippets and the links to writings of others. So every time somebody reads my  artilces or goes to my blogs or websites and sees the snippets I write, they may click on link and if they do, the writer of the article is getting more viewers thus increasing their earnings.  I probably benefit because I am supplying my viewers with other sources of information and ideas without trying to sell something to them.
