Looking for this

Such segregation is not advisable because article writers cannot be branded as Hi-class or otherwise.

Go to awards- you will get the list in order of earning.

Boddunan site is in need of readers like you who come forward for searching good articles. Please read one by one and find for yourself the author of your choice.

Please read this article if you like you may go for this author for his other creative works:

Road Rage: The Most Fatal Outburst

Your idea is good.But here I think the cash credit does not indicate the quality .So you just spot an author and read him first.Then continue others.

Best article will be there but not best author.Because there is no guarantee that the same author will write best articles. And also mostly top earning articles are best among them.Read the articles which you like in these.
