Why webmasters pay?

Why the members of forums get paid for writing? I mean to say in what way webmaster are benefitted if the members post or reply to discussions.

From my point of view i feel that webmaster get paid using these programs by displaying ads from any PPC , for getting a certain number of impressions and a lot to say.....

It gives members incentive to join and stay active. Forums quickly become popular and stay very popular thanks to paying its members.

Here's an example :

Which would you post in? A forum about your hobbies or a forum that PAYS you to talk about your hobbies? Paid forums basically are much better than regular forums.

TheDefier, you didn't get my question. I'm not talking about members benefit. I'm asking in what way webmasters get benefit if members post discussions.

And you didn't get my answer :lol:

I said for the webmasters, it allows them to promote their blogs to members. The members, in turn, will be enticed to join and stay active WHICH will make the webmaster's forum active, earning him the traffic and community he desires to have.

Basically, paying members is a marketing technique which results in TRAFFIC.

Sorry if I was unclear :wink:

But do they earn as much as they pay! I doubt!

i think by this way webmasters earn a lot and increase traffic to there sites
and they also earn huge by many CPM and PPC and many other programs...

So don't think web site owner is incurring loss by paying you
Make it sure he will earn huge and just sharing a part of it with you...

Yes he is sharing a part of it and all the webmasters of the other forums does, no forums will be in loss, if it then they close payment system like many other forums did recently. And the admin share a part of this to us because he has to look for all the member and look for hosting and others.
