for those using the craigslist method, i think it is safe to change some of the article around, im sure by now alot of us are getting the same sample from the same people.

I used to CL accounts and got articles from the same people, so be weary of that

I love this thread. Thanks to all who are contributing to it.

I'm interested in finding reliable sources for account creation.

Any recommendations? Please PM me with details.

Thanks, again.

Great ideas guys!; )

Well i posted 4 / 400-600 word articles on the 27th of August, they have still not been (accepted or / declined ) i don't want to wast any more time i want to see how they work out.

But does any one know how much time it takes for them to check out and account?

Thanks!

Someone asked me to post my article - and i think i got enough articles to last me the week - but anyways write it something like this:

MGR Communications specializes in writing online articles for a wide variety of niches for various websites, emarketplaces and print publications.

We are looking for dedicated and dependable freelance writers to join our team.

Duties:
- On a daily basis should be able to submit at least (1) 450-character article of any niche or a total of (7) 450-character articles a week.
Payment rate is negotiable and based on per article completed. Further payment details to be discussed upon mutual understanding.

Great part time job!

If you are interested in becoming apart of our team. Please send an email with your contact information and (1) writing sample (minimum 400-characters) to the provided craigslist email above.

Hope this help. And change the article up a bit - tell them you need unique content. cause half of the replies i got were post from the journal or online sources. Spread it out don't post in the same cities.

I'd change "characters" for "words". 1 character is 1 letter. You don't want an article with only 450 letters, do you?

Lol good point. But i copied and pasted a similar ad and read it through very quickly. People haven't been confused either as all the articles are 450 +

If the $5 dollar offer is no more from textbroker (hey, it was going to end sometime), there may be other ways to get the $5.00 or so to create the arbitrage effect. Spreading the exploitation around several sites, instead of relying on one site providing the bonus, would probably ensure sustaining the free lunch.

The simplest variation is to use various offer sites to generate the Paypal cash, then use the virtual CC function to set up the multiple textbroker accounts. Another way is to just use the pay for articles and blog review sites as a reimbursement tool for SEO-friendly niche articles one wanted to write in the first place.

So, join a bunch of pay-for-post type sites, but only accept the offers for articles that touch on niches you were going to write about, then spin the article for placement on your niche site and backlink articles. That way, even if the niche site you set up falls flat, you got paid for writing it anyway.

Job postings haven't worked too good for me so far. Even when asking for unique articles when I run thru copyscape I get a lot of results from ac. Guess the writers are Ba little sneaky themselves.

Was thinking about maybe doing a writing contest paying a larger $$ prize stating that all submissions become property of my company and try to get a ratio where the articles cost a minimal each. Of course, you can take it way to the darkside and not really pay any prize but I think if you keep it WH you can make it a sustainable moneymaker.

is there another way to know whether the article already published in another website, beside putting the URL like copyscape? Something like copy-paste thing?

Yea, getting people who may be desperately looking for real work to waste an hour of their time writing a sample article and getting their hopes up for a non-existent job, how cool.....

You guys are really on the cutting edge of human evolution aren't you.

Black hat doesn't have to mean acting like a C*nt.

Thanks, leave.

I think this is a good forum, and I have learnt a lot here. If the members and moderators allow it then I don't want to leave

That doesn't mean I can't state my opinion when I think something smells a little off. I also don't think it is healthy for a community to tell anyone who critisizes it to 'leave'.

By 'you guys' I meant the people doing this method in this way, not everyone on this forum.

People in blackhat communities seem scared to talk about ethics. I wonder why? I am a relativist and don't believe in right or wrong in a concrete sense, and so I don't have any problems whatsoever with blackhat per say. But I pick and choose what I do very selectively.

I like to treat people with respect and have no problem pointing it out when I see people that are not being treated with respect.

Do what you want, I'm not going to stop you, how could I. I don't even want to.
But if there is anyone out there thinking about doing this and are not sure about it, well, maybe they read my post...

If you think this is too unethical for you to practice, then simply press the back button and read another thread.

Don't start giving moral lessons in a black hat forum. Specially BHW.

fair enough, it just hit a nerve with me.
no lessons intended, just my immediate reaction.

I stand by what I said, but I am sorry to go off topic

Currently available amount: 0.00 $


why ?

LOL, before I read this thread, I would have thought this craigslist ad below was legit. Now not so sure, especially about the "not copies of your previously published posts" request toward the end.

Experienced Blogger Needed to Maintain Las Vegas Travel Blog

Plugged into what’s going on in Las Vegas? Do you consider yourself an intrepid insider when it comes to recommending shops, restaurants, hotels, and attractions to visiting friends?

Major NY-based travel publisher seeks experienced blogger to provide 3-5 posts/week focusing on Las Vegas as a travel destination. Topics can include (but are certainly not limited to) hotel and restaurant openings, roundups of topical attractions, new and noteworthy shops, first-hand advice, important tourism news, etc.

Posts should be short, snappy, authoritative, engaging, compelling, smart (snarky and irreverent if called for), conversational, and above all, just plain addicting to read! Gridskipper (http://gridskipper.com) is a pretty good model, though overall tone should be consistent with our established editorial voice.

To apply for the position, please send the following:

1. Resume
2. Why you’re the ideal person to cover Las Vegas (in 40 words or less)
3. A link to your existing blog (if you don’t have a blog, please don’t apply)
4. Three timely posts, each including: headline, 150-200-word blurb, and appropriate tags (these should be written up from scratch based on the above guidelines, not copies of your previously published posts)

If we like what we see we’ll email you back with all the deets, including rate, posting schedule, etc.

lol I agree. That is one main reason I am glad to find blackhat and bhw. Without it I would be such an internet noob and believe everything. Im glad to be here to see the latest techniques to know what to watch out for lol. Or use them myself

haha someone just actually sent me a link to a AC article. Even though I said unique. Staying away from him and his articles! lol

To all the naysayers, the AC method, in and of itself, actually works. Whatever spin you put on it is entirely your decision. If you can write 20 fresh, unspun, 400+ word articles a day, then more power to you. (20 articles x approximately $4.50 payout per article = $90 a day x 30 days = $2700 a month.) You are playing by the rules and have not done anything morally or ethically awry.

However, some of us like to throw a cog in the wheel from time to time and see what we can do to make a tried and true method more viable through ease of use or effort put forth, hence the suggestions provided in this thread.

BTW...the turnaround time for AC payment is roughly seven days.

Someone has learned a valuable lesson from a blackhatter.

As a relativist surely you now see the value being generated by the activities of our fellow forum members.

If one person out there learns to distinguish our bullshit from reality, then there has been some good done by our actions even if that wasn't our motivation. They won't fall for the next one and their lives will be enriched forever by their interaction with us.

Therefore, my goal is to teach everyone in the U.S. how to recognize our bullshit by ensuring that all of them are exposed. It's my moral duty.

Shortly after which I intend to sail my yacht, which I'll call the SS Pam to a new land, learn a new language and start again.

Dudes! This works fantastic! I have tried and have gotten great results!..on a sep. note and I hope I dont get spanked for asking this here, but does anyone still do the paid surveys thing with Craigslist?

i completely agree with crystalq3, if everyone starts submitting like crazy it will end for all of us

good information

One question about AC...has anyone got banned by AC because they have signed up as US citizen when they are not? Do you think AC verifies your acct with your ip?

HotSpotShield uses US proxies. It is free but you will have to put up with ads on the tops of all the pages.
