This Triond Message - Anyone Know What It Means?

I got this weird message at the top of my Triond Dashboard. Anyone know how to act on it?

The top of my Triond Dashboard Page now features a message from Triond. Here it is:

“Increase Your Revenues: Your articles are currently getting traffic with low ad clickthrough characteristics. While your Triond revenues are calculated per views, this kind of traffic generates lower revenues with our advertisers, and therefore impacts your payments directly. Once your traffic returns to having normal ad clickthrough rates characteristics, you can expect payments to be higher.”

Well, can anyone tell me what action I should take? Currently my “Beat the Bullies”, “Crake Cake” and “Paedo Business” blogs are the ones getting regular views, so I guess it’s about these mainly.

So why are they “getting traffic with low ad clickthrough characteristics”? And what is a “clickthrough characteristic”?

How does one make one’s “traffic” return to “normal ad clickthrough rates characteristics”?

Let me guess. It must be something about how long viewers stay on the page. Not long enough I presume. Or am I attracting viewers who don’t want to buy things or read ads? Am I attracting viewers who are too old or too young (or too poor) to be interested in the ads? Am I getting “block views” without knowing it (hence few ad clicks)?

Not that I’ve been complaining about my payments anyway. That’s for others who are more commercially minded. For me, more views recently have led to more pay. Adsense ignores me, but what’s new there?

I’m more bothered about the fact that my latest blog (“Old, Talentless and White”) has not been published 3 days after posting. And the fact I’ve reported a “Hot Content” plagiarist to “GetSat” and nothing has happened.

So, can someone please tell me, what do I do about this message?

PS – As I said on Facebook: “They want me to write for people who want to buy lipstick, use financial services, holiday abroad and have a fetish for having new showers installed! 3:) Oh, and want to lose weight!” (Judging by their ads).

PS 12\10 - My latest blog on Triond, "Do You Need A Therapist?" (Elsewhere "...Therapy") is currently "trending" and has had 576 Views in 6 days. Meanwhile my latest poem on "Hello Poetry", "Get Your Finger Out" trended immediately and has had 290 Views in 7 hours. Actually that poem is something of a laugh so even my "rubbish" is trending on HP now. Most of my recent poems have trended I'm glad to say. "Therapy" has had 15 Views here today thanks. "Bullies" on Triond has had 42,595 Views now.

15\10 - On Triond, looks like "Therapist" got about 5000 Views yesterday!!! Nothing like as many today but hey...!!!

27\10 - My poem "Me" on Hello Poetry sadly bombed - first one to do so for ages. But I've joined "BabbleLife" and have had lots of good responses (you are PAID to respond!).

11\11 - "Bullies" on Triond has had 46,708 Views now and is still viewing well. It was posted in November 2012.

28\11 - "Bullies" has had 50,751 Views now! Whoopee. :)

15\12\14 - Oddly my "Crake Cake" blog has had a big surge in Views on Triond recently. 18,640 Views this month, 29,698 in total.
