It’s amazing how happy one can become when he pays. The feelings we get from paying your royalties are similar to those we have when we are getting paid ourselves. I guess paying your royalties reminds us of the beautiful partnership we have and strengthen us knowing that we support content creators worldwide.

The Triond change I was talking about in our last post happened today. We modified the homepage look and user interface.
You will see that Triond’s News moved up and left, that the right side is now all in the “cloud” form, and that every box is now tabbed. In the “popular content” list, “recently added” list, and “hot tags” cloud, you can use the tabs to filter by content type. In the “members cloud” you can use the tabs to filter by popularity or by activity.
You will also notice some layout and design changes, we hope you like them as much as we do 
.
More changes are coming up, stay tuned.
This is great news. Actually it was supposed to launch together with a Triond improvement (oops, it slipped my tongue… Yes, expect a Triond improvement soon ), but we couldn’t wait. So here it is, our video site – Kleep.
All video clips (kleeps, from now on) that were already uploaded by our members in the past were published today, and you are welcome to send more.
You will notice an “Email This!” button above the “Share It” line, with which you can spread the word about your kleep.
We hope you enjoy it and make the best out of it!
Gomestic has just launched and will now be a destination for all Home issues, such as gardening, furnishing, family pets and all other stuff that is related to your domestic environment. So if you look for information on anything domestic – Gomestic.
Indeed – Something to write home about
Great news to Society . We launched a new site which will deal with society issues. So get Social and make a
small step to socyberty and a Big step to society. All relevant Articles were relocated from Quazen to Socyberty.
There’s a new feature on all content items (text and multimedia) – people arriving from Digg to an item page will see the “Digg It” button for the current item, which includes the number of diggs this item has so far and a direct link for digging it. We hope this feature will encourage voting for items, as it becomes easier and more intuitive.
Currently this feature works only if the referring page is the detailed story page on Digg, that is, the story with the comments, and not from other pages on Digg such as popular or upcoming stories. We will soon upgrade this feature to support also this kind of referrers.
Oh, and to all you stumblers – we also added a “Stumble Upon” button to the “Share It!” line.
Enjoy!
The first days of each month are very busy here at Triond. Apart from the boom of content submissions we receive on those days (I guess it is a result of the payments we send on the end of the previous month) we also analyze the data that was just finalized regarding the previous month.
So we were sitting here one evening going over our October reports and a thought occurred to us: we find this data very valuable – otherwise we wouldn’t spend those wonderful autumn evenings going over it. Maybe you will find this data valuable too. Then why not share it with you?
So, I would like to start a new tradition here and to share some excerpts of this data with you – anything I think you will find valuable.
Since we’re dealing with content monetization, I would like to share some data about the best monetized content we had on October. Why is this data valuable?
Well, we are being asked questions like “What should I write about” and “What topics generate the highest revenues?”
My first answer is usually: “Share any valuable information you have” or “Write about anything you are passionate about”. I further explain that creating content on a very profitable topic will not work if the content you create is not of certain quality. What is this certain quality? It’s hard to say. But you can tell when someone writes an article that serves as a valuable source of information for its readers, and you can tell when the writing is “forced”.
Nevertheless, people are very versatile. Any of us human beings has more than one thing he can and wants to share. Some of us just don’t always know exactly what…
So the following list can serve you as a hint-list or as a focus when you submit your next content. Again – I am not saying you should force your next content item to fit within these subjects, all I’m saying is that if you have something to say on a topic that relates to these subjects, it will probably generate more revenue than content which topic whose not on this list.
Here we go:
Best textual topics for October were:
Best pictures topics for October were:
We still did not gather enough data regarding Audio and Video but I hope next month we will be able to tell you more about those exciting multimedia types.
