Thanks pasdoy

what about my question above you ? or do you prefer I pm you

Its really down to personal preference, whatever format you prefer, i send all my re-writers my articles in word format because it has a great spell check and grammar system, and i tell them to submit it back to me in word format when possible,no matter what text format it is in anyway you should be able to use it with word. I use danny relics AC submitter myself yes, it cuts your submission time by about 75%, so as i said just use whichever format your most comfortable with because at the end of it all you simply just have to copy and paste the article into either the ac submission page or the mass submitter. hope this helps.

xxjack pretty much answered your question. With the article submiter, there is an article formater where you put titles, keyword and the article. then it will generate a text file ready to use.

So it doesnt really mater the format since you use the tool included with the submiter. then if you want to save more time, ask them to use the submiter template.

Hope it was clear, pm me if you have questions

The best method would be to send you re-writers the article formatter that you get with the AC mass submitter then they will be ready to submit right away it will save you a lot of hassle.

Hi guys. I have some question I can't find an answer about and I hope someone of you can answer them.

1. I want to get the upfront payment instead of getting paid per 1k views but I'm not from do US. Is there a way to overcome this problem?
2. Can I simply buy a verified account and use it to submit to AC?
3. Do you guys use proxies when submitting your work?
4. How many articles to you guys submit per day? Is there a limit you can submit per account?

Thanks in advance

@Hyperion get your favorite drink and read the thread.....this has been covered several times.

45 pages :P. Not that I'm lazy but is there no one with the direct answer?

1. yes, just gt yourself a verified account, and you will be good to go.
2. yes, you can buy one and use it.
3. its recommended to use proxies whn running different accounts. they should be all basd in the US and to be ven mor on the safe side, us different proxies with different accounts.
4. I do not submit more than 7-8 articles pr day per account. if your account is new, you might not want to do more than 3-5 submissions a day. trick is to not appear too predicatable, vary the number of submissions daily, never do more than 10 in on day, though.

Hope it helps :-P

I have to say I am lot more nervous about using AC from outside the U.S. now that Red has bowed out of this thread and says he is in a bind now for his advice. It really sounds like AC has caught on.

@ Hyperion, it really wouldn't hurt that you read the thread abit. As Diamond Kitty advises get a drink and just dedicate sometime scouring through. For the record , yes you are lazy. Most will tell you AC in itself is alot of work so get ready to put some time into it. If you want not to read, you have a very long road ahead, trust.

@ Tygrus, I agree with you totally. I figured they would catch on to something sooner or later. They may not know exactly what is happening, but I imagine in the future they will be more strict with individuals opening accounts and what not.

We'll never get confirmation of this, but I am willing to guess that their (AC) legal department had a problem with the public disclosure of what they would consider possible trade secrets.

I'm sure that the person who let Red in on the details of how AC operates has been fired. Not only was the information disclosed, but more importantly, information about curtailing their restrictions was made public.

I'm sure he was provided some kind of cease and desist and that is why the ebooks are no longer for sale, why he won't be selling the new ebook he wrote, and why he cannot comment any longer about this thread.

I guess that as long as he doesn't violate that cease and desist, he'll be just fine. It's the "you keep quiet from here on out and we won't sue you" approach.

As far as the same questions being asked over and over and over again, the truth is that you do need to go through the thread. Use a tool like the 'Scrapbook' plug-in for Firefox to collect all of the important information. I started lurking through this thread when it was only a few pages less than this. I decided that I would go through and read all of Red's posts. I obtained a lot of great information and picked up a few gems along the way from others that Red responded to.

Do the same and help yourself. Not only will you find the answers to your questions, but you will pick up some great additional information and resources.

Honestly PoolShark yout post is useless. We all knew this heh. Someone don't stop making money for fun

Thanks xxjack189 It really helps . Sometimes the basic steps are my biggest problem

I will know take the next step and see how I go .

Also thanks pasdoy , I am sending you a pm hope you can help

No prob buddy, you can pm me if you need any more info.

@pasdoy: As was this... I'm glad you felt compelled enough to contribute. While obvious to you and me, maybe (just maybe) it wasn't obvious to everyone else. Perhaps if it helps just one single person, then it isn't so useless after all. It's not like I posted a reply that said, "that sucks" and left it at that. That would be completely useless.

In addition, the first part of my response was in reply to:

Upon closer observation, it would appear that I wasn't contributing useless information. But to each their own and if it doesn't help anybody, that's alright too.

I would spend more time trying to figure out why you posted that but frankly, it just doesn't matter. But thanks for your feedback... I'll attempt to keep my useless contributions to a minimum.

Hello, I just got approved one article on AC but I was wondering how do you increase the page view, and how long does it take get claimed. Is there anyway beside what they tell us to do to increase the page view? Thanks, I am doing this on daily basis now. Cheers!

Congratz buddy. Your thread motivated me.

Has anyone ever experienced weird page view stats with AC? Not too long ago my daily page views were 200+ after a long time and then one day they suddenly dropped. Now I'm lucky when I break 100. Does anyone know what is going on? I'm not even blackhatting them

Are you driving traffic to them by any means? like posting them to twitter or social bookmarking sites?

No, it was only today that I started using techniques to finally boost views. But the things is, before when it rose I didn't use techniques either. I just submitted more articles. Because I submit articles I went from 12 a day to about 200 and now my views are suffering again.

If I'm using relic's mass submitted to submit my articles, I know I need to use a proxy but Do I still need to clear cookies before submitting?

@ Vicious: it could simply be that you articles are loosing popularity are they based around current events?

@Anthraxx: No need when using acms

So we shouldn't use Social bookmarking and Twitter to get traffic to AC articles?

It's up to you, it can boost your views substantialy if you take the time to submit all your articles to social bookmarking sites and twitter etc.

not at all. they are based on things that can be searched at any moment. one article was posted to another site and started running strong. but for some reason it has weakened.

by the way, if anyone has heard bill clinton has been hospitalized. a "volcanic" search according to google trends. it is the number one search at the moment. so im sure people can work off of that.

That seems strange, perhaps your views will boost back up again.

Do you guys just paste the article in copyscape or the article and the title?

because one of my articles is passing copyscape if I just paste the article but when I paste it with the title it brings back a result

I was wondering if you can increase the page views by using Scrapebox. Has anyone here tried using Scapebox to increase the page views?

Sending fake traffic is never a good idea with AC.

Hello,

I like this thread. I started doing the same thing but I have a problem. How to find articles? Are you doing it yourself or maybe you outsorce it. I have 2 people searching articles for me but they are too broad and AC reject most of them. Please help

Best wishes,
ulele

You need to find a good niche and searc google, or you can browse direcetories like ezine articles, just make sure and choose niche topics.

hummingbird is one the most disappointing programs I've ever purchased. Every other day, either the system is down or I have to readd all of my accounts.. it's so frustrating... anyone know any other reliable tool within the same budget ?

this writer (Susanne N.) gets herself busted in this AC forum thread,
h**p://forum.associatedcontent.com/forum.shtml?thread=44659
better not to post there if your spinning, etc., good to keep a low profile. They talk bad about blackhatters there a lot.

Ok, why would any sane person, blackhatter or not, ever want to participate in AC's forum (unless of course they are picking on the AC members which is a hoot sometimes) it is beyond me.

i hear ya, they are like a pack of dogs in there, lol. I been there for over a year and just quietly rake in the cash.

It's amusing to me that they waste so much time accusing people over a few dollars. It's not their work that is being copied, yet they have the need to make themselves feel important by reporting everything they find.

I emphasize "the need to feel important." And every time AC responds, it reinforces this feeling.

So dumb and a waste of time!

One thing I did find though that some of you should take into consideration is DO NOT have your articles written in perfect English and then use broken English for your profile. That's just dumb on your part. Could you make it any more obvious?

I had one of 2 AC accounts killed in early january and had articles there, all quality (not spun) original pieces written by me on sports topics. Not sure why they killed the account, I think it was a location issue(canada). Anyway they took down all of the articles but I can't put them on another site becouse they still come up in google but go to a dead AC (account inactive) page...
update- I got some today into another site as I googled them and were no longer indexed. I guess it takes awhile after AC takes them down to be de-indexed.

Yea, I'm with you there. Human cesspit of emotion.

yes it must be fun to mess with their minds from time to time :=)...like tossing a verbal hand grenade into a room full of people. The way they badmouth blackhatters, they deserve it, I have seen innocent posts asking a newbie question and the offender is accused of being a troll etc. Unless I purpously want to stir up some shit for entertainment purposes I don't bother posting anything in there.

How many days does it take for articles to be reviewed nowadays?

Not sure, havn't submitted in a couple of weeks, doing private writing gigs but my friend said it is taking longer since they changed the site template. Seems they are having beta issues...

Almost a year later and this thread is still going strong. Still at the top of Associated Content forum even after AC has changed so much in that time span. I sometimes question if the changes that AC made aren't a DIRECT RESULT of this threads popularity and the amount of newbies that went and tried to follow this guy's instructions... failing miserably and ruining it for everyone else... lol.. that is how it usually goes.. I am sure there is still money to be made with AC. but NOT how it used to be...


I for one vote that this thread should be a sticky!

It might as well be it has been here forever!

when doing local guides/reviews... what should I put for things like the number and address... because when my writers put the number and address it never passes copyscape... any solutions?

I just give the street, for example reviewing top restaurants in a city say "over on 14th street theres the..." etc, blah blah...
I don't put the street address in there.
