Great news everybody!

We have officially enabled revenue sharing through Chitika on top of our current Adsense sharing.

How does Chitika revenue share work on Infobarrel?

We’ve spent the last two weeks testing earnings and click through rates using Adsense and Chitika in different positions.  After a few different tests we’ve come to the conclusion that combining both Chitika and Adsense in the current layout provides greater earnings than just Adsense alone.

Simple signup for Chitika, add your Chitika login to your Infobarrel account, and as soon as we verify your account you can begin earning money with Chitika

Benefits to Chitika

One of the really cool things about Chitika, is members can get paid via paypal after accumulating just $10, so making the monthly payment minimum will be much easier.

Things to know about Chitika

After getting your Chitika account fully functioning with Infobarrel, you will start seeing ad impressions in your Chitika account the following day.  It will not show earnings for roughly 3-5 days as Chitika’s earning’s reports are all audited.

That is about it! Signup for Chitika today and add another passive revenue stream to your content here at Infobarrel!

Hey everybody,

I just wanted to let everybody know we updated our Preapproved guidelines today.  They hadn’t been updated since the site launched so we figured they could use a little tailoring.

If you want to take a look at the new guidelines, visit http://www.infobarrel.com/InfoBarrel_Preapproved_Criteria

Thanks!

Yesterday was a pretty fantastic day in the short history of Infobarrel.com as we wound up hitting numerous records and landmarks.

Infobarrel continues to grow at a very high pace, which is extremely exciting.  Yesterday we broke into the 27K Alexa mark.  That means that Infobarrel.com is now roughly the 27,000th biggest web site on the entire Internet.

On top of that we hit a new record for daily article approvals.  Yesterday we finally broke the 100 articles in one day mark.  We wound up hitting 103 articles beating our previous record of 95 (earlier in the week) by 8 articles. If we were to maintain the 103 articles a day mark, in one year from now, we’d have a total of roughly 40,000 articles across the site which would equate to roughly 12.5 entire printed encyclopedias!

Finally, our member and writer count is growing faster than I could have ever imagined.  July 27th 2009 also landed us our 2400th member!

I will try to share more fun facts with you guys in the near future as we are all building this giant together.

Thanks again to everybody who is helping build Infobarrel into a mammoth mass collaboration project.

As of today InfoBarrel.com has officially cracked the 50K barrier according to Alexa.com

This places Infobarrel.com in the top 50,000 web sites on the entire Internet. Considering Alexa tracks the top 25 million (might be more) web sites, this is a pretty big deal.
