I Guess It Pays To Be Lazy!

So animals are basically my life! I own pets, I have a job working with animals, I volunteer with animals in my spare time. So naturally most of the articles I've submitted to Triond have been about pets!
Because I write so much about pets on Triond, I've actually made a list of different pet related articles I plan on writing. I even did a bunch of research already and added the information to my list. Then I just got lazy! I didn't want to take the effort to actually write the articles I had planned! So I put everything in a pile to "get to later". That was several months ago.
Well, just today I got an e-mail from Triond saying, "From now until October 31, TheRealOwner.com is offering a minimum of $3 eRPM for all new, published content."
Needless to say I got off my bum and starting writing those articles I'd had planned! I'm actually really glad I was lazy and didn't write and publish those articles before the promotion!
Do you plan on participating in this promotion?

TheRealOwner.com is Triond's new pet related article website. Many of my older articles that were about animals have been moved to TheRealOwner. The promotion is going on now to promote the launch of this new website. To participate, all you have to do is submit articles that are about pets. The promotion ends October 31st. Also, the e-mail did mention that, "We will be looking for content of the utmost quality during this particular promotion."

Hmm. That's odd! They moved my old articles to the new site awhile ago. Maybe they're still moving articles and they just haven't gotten to yours yet?

Nope, I won't be particpating. I'm actually upset with them over their decision to move my 10 Reasons Why Every Home Should Have A Cat from Purple Slinky over to TheRealOwner.com.
The article had a PageRank of around 1 or 2, which was even higher than the PurpleSlinky main page. Moving it over to TheRealOwner.com hurts PurpleSlinky's PageRank and hurts my earnings, and it seemed like all they looked at was the title of an article before moving it.
I'm the writer here and they're the web publisher. Our relationship is supposed to be one where I just write and they provide the publishing platform, not write and have to constantly work around "solutions" provided by them
