AOL's Seed

What happened to AOL Seed? Apparently they are gone. They haven't shown any assignments for quite some time. I check in periodically, but none have shown up. I thought it was me, but then I found this article. So I guess that I'm not the only one not showing any assignments. It is odd that the Seed website doesn't mention anything about there being no assignments for several months.

Several web content providers have taken a hard hit by the Google algorithm change. Maybe it's the economy too, lots of people and industries have been knocked down over the past year or two. While unemployment keeps getting worse, freelance writers are not immune.

Google Ads

Does anyone click Google ads anymore? I wondered about this for awhile. I don't click. I can't for a few reasons. Number one is that I have an AdSense account and don't want to be accused of click fraud. I also have OpenDNS that blocks the ads, so I couldn't click if I wanted to. My husband has a similar ad blocking program on his computer. Many times the ads don't even show up on the pages he is reading.

An informal poll on I-Say, a market research and online survey company, revealed that 64.7% of people never click on Google Ads, while 29.4 rarely click.

So that would explain why revenue share sites bring writers so little money and why it seems difficult to the average person to make much money with Google AdSense.
