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.)

Well, this being a social business net, too many members don't see the difference between the social and the business part, how best to apply them to creat the optimal combination for all members.
A - The social part of APSense could also be a TOP TEN listing of tools, another listing of services, etc. where members CRITICALLY evaluate these things so others can understand them better - no silly promo text which is just copied with no insight into the inner workings of some of these things.

Also, about the dropping. Someone did it to this blog, not once but twice. I was up to 24 and it dropped to 22 then went back up to 23. But yet, still no reason as to why they dropped it.
Cowards?

Fost,
I couldn't agree more with you. These hit and run artists need to.... get a life?
If you're going to drop someones blog, give them a reason as to WHY YOU DID IT. Don't just drop it and leave. It shows that you care nothing of what people have to say, and remember... Treat others as you want to be treated.
That doesn't necessarily mean to top everything you read. Just top the ones that are worth topping.

I should be more clear about what I don't understand; this is:
"Bit a fat one".
What that means? Sorry to bother you, promise do not do it anymore...
And I AGREE that those who DROP - for any reason - are UGLY BULLY people ;-)

June,
Be sure to check a lot of my other blogs, as they will teach a few things to get you started.

I was just expressing that I would rather see groups of people topping articles, rather then dropping the articles (giving thumbs down).

Thankyou for this one. I am fairly new here. Inexperienced and am (i promise ) reading articles the few wimes i have been here. i have commented on them and topped them but like I say i am new and learning and have done little else here. I found this very interesting and will check out your other article.
Thanks June

Hey max, please TRANSLATE for me into English the folowing phrase:
"I must agree, I'd rather see topping rings, rather then dropping rings. I don't think I could handle a crowd of people dropping my blog...... (shivers) That would definitely "Bit a fat one".
Thanks a lot. I'd appreciate it very much.

That's all that matters, is that you acknowledge reading it. A Top or A Drop.

I don't have time to write comments on all blogs, but what I do ALWAYS ! is to TOP an article with good content.

Hi Max
Great blog - and thanks for reminding us to participate as much as we can - however much or little time we have, it never takes long to top someones blog or subject.
Working together and supporting each other gets us further than competing against each other. I think sometimes we can be a bit "mean" with our toppings and ratings. Who is to say what is good better or best, but as long as they are here - why not top it and comment, if you have enjoyed it enough to read it.

Hi Max!!
You make some awesome points! I definitely appreciate a well written blog/article as much as you. Unfortunately, I am guilty of not commenting much (blush) ...but I am a GREAT topper ;-) If I like the article I am very apt to leaving a "top it" score, but I don't always feel I have anything to add to the article, but a quick nod of the head or a smile. Most times the comments made already echo my sentiments and so, just a quick "top it" is all that is necessary. Sometimes, I do feel th

I want to personally thank everyone for taking the time to read this article. I would also like to thank everyone for the kind words and supportive comments. It's much appreciated. This is how we learn, through others opinions and ideas. Without each other, this site wouldn't really exist.

Hey, you bring up some very valid points that many of us probably don't even think about. I agree that working together is what social networking and residual income are all about.

There are times when I visit Apsense often, and then there are times when I have many other things to do. The garden does occasionally need weeding and the car wants a wash now and then, plus I like to sit down for a meal with Greg, and I have a day job to go to etc. :) lol
If I don't have time to comment a reply post then I may top the subject or blog, only if I think it is excellent commentary or a great article.
I do notice that when I make the effort and spend a lot of time here, communicat
