Nobody is going to pay to publish on a system that has no traffic.

You fail to understand the difference between membership and users.

To me, the users are the ones that would use my system to get at the news and information articles, created by the members. The members would be the writers/columnists/analysts/editorial writers. The member are the ones that I would need to keep track of, and they are the ones that would create the content which the users would browse through to get at the content they're looking for. I wouldn't need to keep track of the users, except, perhaps, the number of times that the system is used, and which articles are clicked on/read more often, and which writers are read most often. But, I wouldn't need to track the users via membership or IP. That, to me, is irrelevant, and Google-like, where Google essentially is "spying" on what people click on and read. I'm not into invasion of privacy. However, when it comes to traffic, it would be very simple to keep track on the number of visitors, even on a per-article basis. Traffic would be very important, but, tracking the visitors would not.

>>That, to me, is irrelevant,

That’s because you’re a poser who doesn’t understand (or a fraudster who won’t acknowledge) the historical fraud that has been manufactured by con-artists who sell their services by conjuring and counting “clicks” that were produced by themselves instead of unique, visitor, IP Addresses.
