The sad but very real truth about APSense.
People came to this site, unaware that they would be advertising to other advertisers. It's hard to make money when you only show your product to other sellers. People on APSense do not realize that we all have to work together in order for ANYONE to succeed.
There is no money in the advertising of a product to people doing the same thing. Sure, you're getting paid to do it here. But, it isn't much. You refer hundreds and hundreds of people, only for them to put a link on their profile and stop using the site. They don't want to do anything because they expect the site to do it for them.
Then you have people that go to your blogs and read them.... Only to not even so much as post a comment or top it. Regardless of how good the article was. They take the information into consideration and use the knowledge. But, give no credit to the person that wrote it. Then, they wonder why hardly anyone is topping their articles or why no one is commenting on them.
IF everyone would work together and actually do more on the site... Such as top good articles, post comments, rate business centers more, join good groups, and actually work at helping others. They would see a GREAT increase in not only earnings on APSense, but, knowledge as well.
This also ties into my formula I wrote and posted a few days back. http://www.apsense.com/article/110259.html
(sorry about the pop-up, I took the code out. But, it still comes up :( again sorry for that)
I went into great detail about teamwork, communication, networking, and such.
But, no one took hardly any of it into account.
The "big earners" on this site, are the ones that spend the time actually reading what others write, comment, top, and actually learn from what has been written. The people who claim this site doesn't work or that claim they aren't making anything worth using the site anymore.... are the ones that give no effort into using the site.
Let me use someone as an example. (sorry Lynn, but, I need someone who actually puts the effort in as an example)
Lynn works very hard on APSense, and manages to keep everything up to date. She goes and reads others postings, comments and gives input, and tops the worthy articles. In hopes that the people will do the same.... AS THEY SHOULD.
She has one of the biggest private networks on APSense, if I'm not mistaken, and I see her listed on the main page all the time in the top people. THIS COMES FROM HARD WORK!!
I noticed on my formula page, I had over 300 hits on it, but yet not even 20 comments.... In which almost a quarter of them were my own. Out of all the people that read that article very few decided to top it. Even though A LOT of people knew that was an extremely well written, and very informative article.
I understand that we all are here to make money. But, no one is going to make any money if we all do not help each other. It's the main key to making money. You can't make anything if you have no help. Especially in a virtual world where the more people you know the better.
Look at it this way. Would you want to get online and sit in front of a screen with a buddy list that is empty with no one to talk to.... or would you rather get online and have friends to talk to, friends and contacts to help you when you need advice or an opinion, or even someone to share ideas with?
(I know I said this below in a comment, but, I just remembered that I could edit the content.
So as I said, If this comment touched key points, please be sure to go to this article as well as it pertains to things that may help apsense and it's users.)

Most business network communities are like that. This is still good for those who have lasted for several years. There is nothing worst that wasting time on business contacts that does not follow up and or do not update primary contact sites.

It's a shame that the one thing you can always count on here is some spammer seeing a blog with a high number of hits and dropping another spam link. How many of the serious posters still come here? not many for the plain simple reason that they are tired of wading through a mountain of spam to find a needle in the haystack like this post.
I've noticed well written posts and blogs are ignored yet they will top each other's spam. That has become the "Sad but very real truth about APSense"

You are absolutely right Max.

Hi Matthew,
I can see you will not be going very far here in this site.
Spammers are not appreciated, and soon find themselves isolated.
Also the Acme Search is a pathetic site that looks like it was written by a 5 year old
no terms of service and no privacy policy. I have warne dpeople before about this site and will continue to do so ecpecially when it is advertised using spam.

Some things never change, cause people are people no matter what or where they get together. There are those that do understand that we are all not so much selling our product or service as we are selling ourselves. People will join leaders and leaders have influence. So, your choice is to be a leader or a wanderer waiting for the next big deal. You are either one or the other. The people who are the weakest link will just rust away. Those who support and build will reap thier rewards. It's ever
