Method and system for internet publishing and advertising forums

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for conducting online publishing and advertising forums that offers two essential benefits to authors, especially independent authors: 1) providing a centralized Internet repository for authors of all backgrounds, proficiencies, expertise and age groups to publish their knowledge, ideas, work, thoughts and opinions on a wide range of topics and subjects; and 2) rewarding authors with a recurrent royalty drawn from the advertising revenue generated specifically by the articles they published. The collectively diverse and rich content of substance offered by these forums can ultimately boost the visibility and readership of individual articles, a goal difficult to achieve if they were published alone using the limited resources of individual authors. The recurrent nature of the royalty is another unique feature of the present invention such that authors may benefit from their publications financially for an extensively long period.
