Groups Now Have Ads! I Think.

News Type: Event — Thu Jan 3, 2008 9:37 PM EST

newsvine, earnings, tags, groups, feature, newsvine-groups

Strolling in and checking on my Breaking News group today, I stumbled on something I had never seen before on a group page. An ad! (See picture to the right)

Admitted, I'm ecstatic of the progression, but I have a few a few questions:

-Do we earn earnings in the same way on our groups as we would with our column and articles?

-Was this just some type of anomaly, or has Newsvine started putting ads on groups?

-What's going on?

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Hm. If this is a development, does the money go to the members or to Newsvine? Also, is there a way to get analytics on a group page?

Groups have always had ads running on them, and they are not available for revenue distributions. Since all the content is written by authors, the authors of the content receive the revenue.

I hope this answers your questions.

Thanks. I don't know if I was just being ignorant and stupid (believe me, it happens) or if I really haven't ever seen them before. My guess is that it was the former. Again, thanks.

Hey Tedd,

Tedd and Hamid, if you pay for my travel expenses to go to Africa and a handling fee of 10 percent of the money picked up – that's $2.5 million you'd have to pay me in cash before I go – I'd surely do what you suggest.

I told my mom over the holidays that I've learned, via emails, that I too have Nigerian relatives and we got out the family tree but we just couldn't see anyone listed there. So we're obviously confused.
