2. "I Don't Understand The Syndication Credit System Formula"
In our video we mentioned that you earn a 1:1 ratio of syndication credits on your own traffic, and any direct referral's traffic (such as "Bob" in the example video) and any direct referral's referral traffic (yes, that sounds confusing!) such as "Jen" in our example. We also mentioned that you'd also earn credits based on activity through 10 generation levels. Here's the breakdown of our formula:
Your Traffic = 1:1 1st Generation Of Referrals (Directly From You) = 1:1 2nd Generation Of Referrals (i.e. Jen in the video) = 1:1 3rd - 6th Generation Of Referrals = 1:4 7th - 10th Generation Of Referrals = 1:8
1:1 means you earn 1 syndication credit for every 1 impression of the widget by your own traffic or by any users located on the 1st (direct) or 2nd generations. 1:4 means you earn 1 syndication credit for every 4 impressions of the widget by any user located on the 3rd to 6th generations. 1:8 means you earn 1 syndication credit for every 8 impressions of the widget by any user located on the 7th to 10th generations.
When all of this math is added up, it leaves 1 headline space available out of every 10 that are served. This means that BlogRush uses 10% of the headline spots (5 headlines in each widget load) to monetize the service. We currently have plans to sell these extra credits to any user that would like to purchase additional credits -- this is one of the ways we will pay for the service.
