BlogMad Changes
BlogMad has undergone a number of long awaited changes. I am a big supporter of BlogMad, being a moderator there and blogging about it very early on its existence. The site has gone a long way in the 11 months of my membership, being mentioned in over…

Thanks for all the positive feedback! Oskar, this is why we have limited the amount that may be purchased per month. The system automatically calculates how many credits will be available, whilst keeping the ratio above 1:1.
This is done through the use of VARB for example. While you get 4 views per credit, we don’t pay the guests the credit obviously - allowing both the member and BlogMad to benifit. We also make a small percentage of credits back on textlinks, banners and games.
Of course with the limited amount of credits we are able to sell while keeping the ratio up, we will not be making a large amount of money from credit sales, but it will be enough to fund the growth of the site and advertising.
Thanks again everyone
