Be A Guide on About.com

About.com just updated their list of topics they are looking for perspective guides for. Guides are paid based on page views. As long as the page views keep increasing month after month, then the guide gets paid more. About merged with MiningCo.com long ago. They make an effort to be a great source of information on various topics, but I think their push for the magical page views is corrupting the layout. Anymore it takes me a long time to find what I am looking for on their site, and usually the signal to noise ratio is fairly poor with the number of ads.

I think it is a good idea. Kind of like what Weblogs, Inc. is trying to do, although for the moment they have a much better signal to noise ratio.
