Changes in Reward programs
dotnetspider.com recently completed 10 years! During one decade of existence, we helped numerous people learn .NET and achieve success in their career.We have been offering a lot of reward programs, including iPad, Digital cameras, .NET books, certificates, revenue share bonus and so on. Congratulations to all those who have won prizes from us.
Many of our reputed authors started their own blogs. Due to tight competition from our fellow bloggers and competitors, our traffic and revenue has been significantly reduced. In fact, what we earn currently is just 10% of what we have been earning a few years ago. Even though the traffic in our site hasn't gone down too much, the revenue has gone down a lot since tech people rarely click on Ads and hence we don't get much income.
For last few years, we have been using our revenue from our other websites to give rewards to our best authors in DNS. Unfortunately, the online revenue has gone down in our other websites as well.
We are forced to take an unpleasant decision to stop some of our reward programs. We will continue to offer some rewards for our top authors every month.
All current reward programs are stopped with immediate effect.
We will have a few new reward programs, which will be announced shortly.
If you have any suggestions on how to reward the top authors, please post your comments below.
