I did an Alexa search of Today.com and I found that its ranking is very impressive: 2,579 (3 months average) and 1,643 (yesterday). If you have any idea about Alexa ranking then you can easily understand that Today.com is getting a huge amount of traffic.

This traffic is coming from dozens of blogs combined. So, while most bloggers will receive very small income (because $2 per 1000 page impression), the opposite thing will happen for the owner(s) of Today.com. Advertisers love websites that have huge traffic. So, I think that Today.com will become a very successful business venture for the owner(s) while most bloggers will get very small amount of money. Well, I don’t see anything wrong in it because this is the goal of any company (to get maximum profit from minimum investment).
If anyone is looking for some experience and exposure then joining this kind of blog network is very good. However, if someone is looking for long term real income then the best thing is opening a blog (either buy a domain or even Blogger/Blogspot is good because they allow you to put Adsense and other kind of advertisements) and keeping 100% of your income. In fact, I would recommend you doing the two things simultaneously: Join a blog network and at the same time open a blog of your own. Give same effort and time for both of the blogs and then see which one brings more income.
