Money On The Interwebs: Gawker Reinstates Page-View Bonuses

Our colleagues over at FishbowlNY mentioned that Gawker’s first half of 2009 was better than expected; in fact, the blog network’s done so well that publisher Nick Denton is re-instating pageview bonuses for his writers.

Denton wrote in a memo to staff:

Each writer on a site will have a (pretty demanding) individual pageview target. (Remember, individual pageviews are viewable at http://gawker.com/stats etc.) That target will be proportional to a writer’s base compensation. i.e. the more your monthly pay, the more people you’re expected to reach.
