The text outlines the history and performance of a revenue-sharing platform that allowed users to share videos, photos, and blogs, generating revenue primarily through a partnership with an internet advertising service. Launched in 2006, the platform garnered nearly $1 million in revenue, primarily due to the advertising service’s referrals via its API, which dedicated 100% of the generated revenue to the content uploader. However, this partnership ended in September 2011 when the internet advertising service decided to cease its referral program for all publishers. The document provides statistics for the year ranging from September 2010 to September 2011 to showcase the revenue potential had the right partnership continued. The platform also had substantial traffic, with over one million monthly visitors, and hosted an extensive amount of user-generated content, including 5 million videos and blogs, and over 2.5 million photos. Additionally, the platform boasted a strong SEO presence with high organic traffic and well-established links. The text includes references to various online resources, including an archived revenue and stats report, a case study on the platform's partnership with the advertising service, a Mashable article from 2006, and a press release about the platform's launch.
