Click Bait. You know what it is. Its a lot like what you're seeing here, though usually presented a bit cleaner & more professionally. Hey, we try our best.
Our 'Click Bait' is basically the same as everyone else's (maybe a little less political), but its content specifically designed to elicit a response. That particular response we covet most is a 'Click' on your mouse. Maybe a finger 'Tap' for those of you on mobile devices & pads.
We don't care what you click on, we're not trying to be the boss of you. The choice is entirely yours.
You could stay on this site & click around from content to content all day long. Come back & visit Partnum again & again, every day. Don't feel like you're hogging resources or cheating anyone else. There's plenty of opportunity to go around. Everyone is welcome to click on our site as often as they want, for as long as they want, without limitation. There's no maximum cap on your allotted clicks. There's no penalty, no taxes & no fees. It's completely FREE!
Truth be told, the desperate search for clicks is probably 99.8% of the reason why we exist. Things like 'Cultural Interest', 'Journalism' and concerns for 'Art' or 'Creative Expression' are a far second, almost non existent, motivating factors for our content here.
Now, you may be thinking, 'What about the Ads?', 'Is it Okay to click on the Ads?'.... 'If I click on an Ad, will it open up a new browser window?'... 'What do I do, If I get stuck in a window promoting online games, or toys for dogs & cats... or worse yet, online games for dogs & cats?
These are common questions that occur to most readers, & rest assured, we have the answers for you. Basically, yes, yes, & YES. You can click on the Ads. You can click on all the Ads you want, its really not a problem at all!
In fact, Clicking on Ads is how we make the $BIG MONEY$!! 'Content to Content' clicking is how we rate higher in the search engines & gain status on the interwebs, which is great for fame & notoriety. Revenue however, the money we rake in daily & monthly, is all determined entirely by the amount of Ads that get clicked.
On average, we make a fat 1/10th of a cent, per click on an Ad. It's a substantial sum.
So lets say, you could average 10 clicks on our Ads per minute, allowing enough time to close that Ad window & returning to click on it again. From there, if you decided to click our Ads for 10 hours a day (& we know some of you will average higher rates of 15-20 clicks per minute, or longer sessions of maybe 12 hours a day) but for the sake of simplicity, we'll stick with '10's' for our figures here. Well, this means approximately 6000 clicks per day. Now, if you were to commit to doing this for 300 days per year, that average would be about 1,800,000 Ad clicks for us. So, depending on what the correct Ad revenue values are, these 1.8 million clicks translate to about $1,800 of revenue for Partnum per year,
As you can see, your efforts are really going to add up for us over time.
Ideally, with 7.5 billion people in the world, & 3 billion of them having full access to the Internet, its nice to think we could attract a meager 100million devoted readers, to all click on 1.8million Ads for us per year.
Of course, we know not everyone is going to have enough free time to devote 10 hours per day to clicking our Ads. Some of you are committed adults with serious responsibilities. Parents with young children, Surgeons, Lawyers, Banking Executives, all sorts of professionals with demanding schedules.
Our message to those professionals with demanding schedules is simple. 2-3 hours per day is enough. We appreciate your responsibilities & know there's other things in the world that need to happen. Don't think the success of this thing is riding solely on your shoulders, & don't feel like you always have to be the top performer & star of the class. It's a group effort that's going to require a lot of team work and a strong social networking community.
So, this is the point where we have to address 'Likes & Shares'. 'Liking' our site and content, and 'Sharing' it via email & social media isn't going to directly affect our Ad Revenue, but it will affect our site rankings & over all web performance. These are small strides that will eventually help us reach our larger goal of 100 million devoted Ad clickers.
Liking & sharing our site about 20 times a day will definitely lead to greater circulation, and push us towards our goals, so feel free to start now.
It may seem that creating Click Bait is a simple & mindless task, & admittedly for the most part it is, but it does require a certain amount of time & effort. First you have to devote the time to author the piece itself, which might not be too demanding on its own, but secondly there's the placement & layout concerns that are somewhat demanding, & then you get into placing the Ads, links & banners. All & all its a task that requires a lot of learning, premeditation, coordination & time.
What would be most beneficial to Web masters & Publishers would be a simple WordPress widget that automated the entire Click Bait process from beginning to end. Automatic content creation, layout, Ad placement, optimization & final publication. Web publishers would pay a lot of money for something like that. Theres an Idea who's time has come & as the digital landscape continues to evolve its tools like these that will............................
OMG!........................ What a great idea!.............. Genius!!!!...........
Okay, Later People!
