We periodically hand out bonuses for stories that generate traffic to thepanelist.net

Until we have a reasonable writer revenue sharing plan in place, we will pay bonuses to non-staff writers whose stories generate the most links or traffic at The Panelist.  As we perfect the plan we will post more details here.

In the meantime, we encourage writers to increase their chances of generating traffic for their stories by:

1. Classifying your article in del.icio.us, digg and hugg.

2. Linking to your article from all your personal social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn and Yahoo!360.

3. Submitting your article to highly used blog aggregators, like SeekingAlpha for trading ideas or TreeHugger for green
issues.

To increase search ranking for your article, make sure the link words you use include the subject of your article. Linking with the words "See my article here" doesn't work as well as, for example, "Why Microsoft stock is going to decline."

Bonus winners can be found here:

The May 2007 bonuses go to Eben Esterhuizen for "Polysilicon Shortage – Investors Shouldn't be Swimming Upstream" and Samantha Moller for "Top Five Reasons to Use Cloth Diapers."

The June 2007 bonuses go to Samantha Moller for "Top Five Reasons to Use Cloth Diapers" and again to Samantha Moller for "Top Five Reasons to Use Cloth Diapers."

The July 2007 bonuses go to Jack Hudson for "Why Humans Crave College Rankings" and Mark Bershatsky for "Energy Bill 2007: What Does It Mean for Clean Tech?"

The August 2007 bonuses go to Miranda Marquit for "What Will Happen to Big Oil When Electric Cars REALLY Hit the Market?" and again to Miranda Marquit for "What Will Happen to Big Oil When Electric Cars REALLY Hit the Market?"
