Is Mylot making gold, while we are making peanuts?

December 23, 2006 1:28am CST
Just a thought. I was trying to understand how mylot can afford to pay us?The more tags we put in, the more ads are shown. So the more chances of someone clicking on the ads The more pay per click I suppose mylot gets?So should we put in more tags, so they get more chances of making money then maybe they will pay us more money. Is it then possible that it gets so big, that it's bought out by google for a few million?

I would imagine that's what they're hoping for. Most mylot old-timers are just here for the friends and discussions. The payments are just little percs we get on the side. Don't worry about trying to figure it out. Just enjoy yourself.

Thanks for your response. I thought it would make a good discussion. You are quite right, meeting and chatting to lots of interesting is worth more than the money.

It is true. But mylot is not making any one to participate compulsorily here. People need money and they pay. How much they pay is their prerogative. Everyone knows they pay less.

i enjoyed myself so much over here in myLot that i dont even care whether are we underpaid or not LOL after all, i think earning money in myLot is like some kinda bonus for enjoying myself while getting to know more friends from all over the world.

I think you have answer your own question. The tags that we submitted is "keywords" for your answer and for mylot to collect much money.

Sure I think mylot is making lots of money, otherwise I can't see why they would do it, but as previously mentioned no one is making us do this. It only makes sense to me that they would be making gold as you put it.

Thanks for your response. I had nearly forgotten this topic. I hope they keep making good money so that we can continue to make a little bit ourselves. However, I don't do it for the money, but it's nice to swap ideas with so many people.
