suite101 vs. associatedcontent

[etrader]

There are several discussions about suite101 and associatedcontents, and even comparison of their different features, but I was unable to find a comparison between the number of pageviews for articles in them.

I'm curious to know if publishing a single article in both sites, which has more visibility for the readers, and which will be read more?

Since there is no solid way to compare this issues, and it depends on many factors, the past experiences of different writes from a statistical point of view can give the answer.

Since there are multiple discussions on these topics already and you can't find the answer you want, perhaps it would be better to contact the sites directly and see if they can give you the information.

The people who write for the sites don't always write for both, so there is no possible way they can give you a comparison of page views. Even if they did, their job is to write the articles, not analyze all the data, including page views, that comes in/occurs behind the scenes.

I'm moving this to the appropriate forum.

I will leave this open for now but it will be locked if it becomes argumentative.

I'm not an expert...but I would have to give Suite 101 the thumbs up, if anything because it has a more solid reputation. Suite has editors, therefore their content is better & more trustworthy. AC lets anyone post anything. People who know this will choose Suite over AC when both come up on a Google search. And I've heard people say on this board that their presence on Suite led to other gig offers.

Yes, you are quite right, this is an important feature of suite101 as compared with the competitors, I have tried both sites, but as I just published few articles, I have not enough data to compare.

How about a link to your published articles?

I like Suite 101 much better. I felt that Associated Content was asking for too much for too little pay. I know Suite 101 isn't exactly a goldmine, either, but the editors there seem to have good suggestions that can help writers generate more page views and, hopefully, ad clicks. The only feedback I ever received from Associated Content felt like it came from a form letter.

Avoid associated content like the plague. They pay, but they're not compensating the authors fairly. AC is full of people spamming keywords into loosely connected sentences; this is not a website you want to be associated with.

Thanks Bartholomew

I totally agree with you, as I witnessed such issues by myself
