Hi all,
Due to the success of gaining new members, greater popularity brought about from our Bukisa authors, an increasing amount of advertising spending online and increased optimization of our monetization efforts, we are happy to announce that we are able to raise the Bukisa Index from 3.42 to 3.53.
Hopes are high that we will able to further increase the Bukisa Index in the near future.
Keep up the good work,
Simon & the Bukisa Team

Hey Everyone,
Due to popular demand we have added 2 new banners to your arsenal of your Bukisa promo banners.
These 2 banners fit in really nicely with most blogging platform page designs.
You can use these banners to build your network of Bukisa publishers.
Enjoy!
As usual if you have any feedback, please drop us a line.
In a continued effort to fight automated bots, spam, fake traffic and so on we have added multiple layers of checks to award a unique view as an actual view.
Do to this in all your reports you will no longer be seeing “Unique Views” but instead you will be seeing “Qualified Views”
What does this mean for you?
Well, if you are a regular user not engaging in sneaky techniques to drive traffic, you will see no difference in your reports, but if on the other hand you engage with some “black hat” techniques you are likely to see much less impressions for your content.
What do we consider to be a “Qualified View” ?
A qualified view is the same as a unique view (a single visitor that viewed your content in a 24 hour period), but in addition we also check for the following:
If you have any questions please leave them in our comments section and we will address them.

Hi All,
We wanted to share some online metrics demonstrating the excellent growth Bukisa has been getting over the past few months.
Compete.com
Alexa
Quantcast
What this means for you, more viewers and more earnings from your content.
Now is a great time to start building your network of publishers, invite your friends to join today.
It’s that time of the month for the Bukisa Index update.
This month, we are lowering the Index quite a bit (by 30 cents to $3.42). In the spirit of transparency that we believe in, we would like to clarify the reason.
Although we were not hit quite as bad as the rest of the internet market (thanks to the advertisement systems we use), in general online advertising budgets are still being cut due to the ongoing financial crisis in the US, inevitably it affects the way we calculate the Bukisa Index.
We at Bukisa will continue our ongoing efforts to better optimize the sites ad performance in order to give our publishers the highest CPM possible.
The good news that I would like to point out is, that the traffic in March grew over 100% meaning more and more people are viewing your content and Bukisa is gaining better traction online.
So if on one hand the Bukisa Index is a bit lower, on the other hand the number of views keeps increasing dramatically.
Even at $3.42, Bukisa continues to offer the highest CPM rev-share over any of our competitors, and we do believe – as the markets will hopefully improve in the next 6 months – the index will go up again accordingly.
We are happy to announce today that we are adding two new minimum payout levels:
$10 and $25
Where the new default minimum payout is $10 (instead of the current $50 minimum payout), these changes will have an immediate effect and will be active for the upcoming payout in March.
We have done this due to great feedback from our community.
If you wish to receive a higher minimum payout, please login at http://www.bukisa.com/login using your display name and password, and go to your account settings to change your minimum payout.
And don’t forget to stay tuned, our latest updates & features are coming very soon…
All the best!
Simon and the Bukisa Team.
