Thanks for the guide panther. Textbroker only pays for new articles Lazarus, which is unfortunate unless you are getting 6.70 per 100 words. Any lower quality level, for example, quality level three at 2.00 per 100 words is a rotten deal.
I found that I could write unique articles including research from scratch (professional quality) for a brand new niche site at about 22 minutes each starting out.
Then I created articles out of each niche page in about 13 minutes each. (I can probably get faster at this) I am still working hard not to include too much information, which is hard to avoid.
Most PLR articles are of such inferior quality that it takes me about 15 minutes to rewrite them anyway, and it is not my best work.
You know I am thinking Associated Content is actually ripping people off.
Here is an example of the highest quality level on text broker:
"Home to humans since 3000 BC and commercially settled by the Spanish in 1776, the "Bay Area", as it is called by locals, has an amazingly colorful history."
I am still waiting to see what AC pays out, but writing articles from scratch for 4$ a pop for AC if you are "professional" level is retarded. Of course if you can write articles on fluff in five minutes and get 4-5$ good on you. I am better at writing quality informative articles, which take more time.
Good for practicing and to build up experience for sure.
This is why I had the idea of writing original articles and using them for article marketing on your site, then spin them using power article rewriter a couple times and submit them to AC.
I am also not too keen on Constant Content although the prices are high, as the site doesn't seem to get much action.
Regarding the question on Dragon, I don't have a working serial. Delete ISUSPM and SSKGB update (sp?) as well as Agent.exe. Do a search both in your files, registry, and disable them on MSCONFIG, or your version will freeze upon internet startup. I just hit activate automatically, and it starts up fine.
