Hi Walterbell,

Thanks for your comment and question. To answer your question; you can either create your own widget or use an existing widget, in both cases the publisher gets 100% of the revenue. From the widget you can also click to the page the widget came from, giving the curator traffic to his or her page, which in turn could result in revenue directly from clicks from the page. If you have any more questions let me know!


Is this an accurate summary?

  Publisher curation = choose widget author, or links in publisher widget
  Reader clicks on link in widget -> revenue to publisher
  Reader clicks on widget (to see more links?) -> revenue to curator


Hi Walter,

Curator = Creates a page about a subject using his knowledge

Publisher = Creates a linkblock or uses existing linkblock of curator and embeds this on his website (widget)

Reader clicks on link in widget -> revenue to publisher

Reader clicks on curator name at the bottom of the widget -> goes to the ZEEF page the widget originates from

Reader clicks on link on the page -> revenue to curator


Would be interested to have a chat. Can you send me email so we can have skype call? Always good to have some expert advice :) [email protected].
