There is no "Fixed" payout per view! There never has been! If you would take the time to actually read the FAQ link right next to the link to "My Account" up at the top of the page where it says your log in name, you would see exactly how income from the site is computed. Below is the direct quote regarding how the income is split:
How exactly do you calculate payments?
We split all ad revenues with contributors 50/50. Here's an example that shows how it works (NOTE: actual numbers may vary from month to month depending upon how much ShareCG earns in ad revenue for that month. We DO NOT necessarily pay out .5 cents a view; it might be much more or much less):
1. Five business days into the month, we determine the average amount of revenue each individual pageview generated.
Average Revenue per Page View = $0.01
2. We divide that number by two--so half goes to you, half goes to us.
Your Share = (Average Revenue per Page View)/2 = $0.005
3. We multiply the amount of pageviews your content has generated in a month by your share of ShareCG revenue.
(Your Pageviews) x (Your Share) = Your Earnings
2,000 x $0.005 = $10 Obviously that "Average Revenue Per Page View" is figured based on how many users there are and how many item Pages they have to view. The website get's 50% of the income off the top. The remaining 50% of the monthly income is divided up between the users based on page views. It's not a fixed amount and never has been.
The more users there are the less income we get. The only way to increase that income with the increasing amount of user's we're getting is to increase the advertising revenue. So in effect, yeah, if you want to keep making money stop telling new people about the payout system. They'll find out about it when they come to view your downloads though so it's a catch 22.
