Examiner.com Stats, Earnings and Update

I was accepted as the Beyonce Examiner and it has been active for 2 and 1/2 days now. I'm very surprised and pleased with my stats so far. I've never had stats that good in such a short amount of time and I'm a member with a large amount of content sites like Helium, Ac, Ehow, Squidoo and more.

I hesitated to join examiner.com after I saw many writers complaining that they made $40 in 5 months or even less. So I'm not sure what I'm doing right. I'm not a person that is heavily into social networking, so I don't use them often. I just tend to write and hope for views.

As I look at my stats, I definitely plan to put in a lot more work into my Beyonce Examiner page. Comparing it to other places I write:

Ehow - $15/month - 20 Articles
AC - $80-$100/month - Over 200 Articles I think
Bukisa - $10/month - 5 - Articles

My Examiner stats for 2 1/2 days:

As of this post I still have 5 hours left in the day, so I'm hoping to make $40 today.

12-Jun-09 - 1 Articles - 186 - $1.86
13-Jun-09 - 5 Articles - 3,539 - $28.92
14-Jun-09 - 8 Articles - 3177 - $31.77

Total Views - 6902

Total $$ - $62.55

#5 Top Examiner in Entertainment

I'm not sure why I recieved less than 1 cent per view yesterday. Anyone know how the page view/$$ works?

My only complaint with Examiner is that I wish the referral program worked like other websites. I find it awkward to have to ask someone to use my number or name of examiner page when they sign up, anywhere but my blog. As I discovered, some websites refuse to work with Examiners or trade links because agressive referral seekers have spammed them and ruined it for other writers. :(

I don't know where my traffic is coming from, but I use Google Alerts for latest Beyonce news and was pleasantly surprised to open an alert email and see all of my posts are in the Google news section.
