If you are attempting to write for revenue, sites like YouSayToo are absolutely fantastic. Not only can you gain from you adsense adds, but you can also gain from Amazon affiliate revenue. There really is no better way to monetize your content than through adsense revenue sharing sites.
What may work as a great strategy is to post interlinking articles on multiple revenue sharing sites. For instance, I may write a great informational post on YouSayToo, and then go to another revenue site like Snipsly and write a post that links to my YouSayToo content. That way I am driving traffic to sites where I have the potential to gain. Of course, it is always important to write unique content for each article and site. Duplicate content is OK, but it may hurt your results in the search engines.
There are other good things about revenue sharing sites as well. You can get a boost from all of the other writers on any given site that are adding weight to your content in the search engine. This is better than just starting up your own blog. You also have the ability to write articles that contain backlinks to any sites that you may have. So really you are only helping yourself out.
So say thanks to yourself, and also to YouSayToo.
