I'm in the US, are autoit scripts permitted?

Lol, actually my vids do suck (well some of the content isnt bad but the videos themselves definitely suck, hard). But I was actually considering learning to make better vids, but from what I'm seeing unfortunately what you say looks spot on.

Since these metrics appear in Youtube and Adsense analytics though, Google is the one collating them. Since they're the ones presenting the statistics, there's no possible way they're ignorant of them or their implications, that's all I'm saying. That's interesting and quite different than...

So adsense is set up so that its actually possible for no bidder to purchase ads to be served to 1400 views? The impressions count was extremely low so that would seem to indicate ads just weren't getting served. I thought adsense was pretty much like the stock market though with almost...

Yeah I understand that, but you're saying that its possible that they basically didn't find a single ad to locally geo-target over 1400 views? The problem with that is I've been watching this stuff over six months and my traffic makeup hasn't changed that much over the last 3 months or so. But...

I don't think that updates for days. Ok, so today its actually showing me at $.36 RPM so far, a major improvement. But I've been doing this and watching it long enough to know for a fact that 1400 views at $0 RPM is smoking-gun proof of some kind of serious shenanigans or a serious error. But...

I have a Youtube channel that's about six months old. I started doing pretty legit type promotions but slowly drifted to more piratical waters. One result of that was the traffic source became less targeted thus my links were certainly spammier. But I'm thinking the really huge difference...

I'm not entirely clear on what you're saying. You're saying its ok to use an Amazon affiliate link that's shortened by bitly right? What do you mean by "do not type the post"? Are you saying you should somehow get them to copy/paste or type the affiliate url into the address bar?

Looks like I'm too new to initiate PM's to anyone so feel free to contact me. Also let me be clear on what my criteria are for judging this site and what my expectations were going into it. First off my plan was to write 10 articles keeping track of the main details and after completing that...

After deliberating further and reading additional things on the net I must conclude it looks like the site is a wide open scam. The most disturbing thing I am seeing is that they will arbitrarily ban accounts for no reason before reaching the minimum payment threshold so that the writer never...

In one I mixed never and or and I've done similar stuff, but yeah for $2 it seems like it shouldn't be getting rejected. The first one I shared itt was kinda BS heavy but I actually thought the content in the Navigator article was pretty good. I mean, come on, two freakin dollars. Pretty...

I'm getting the impression that its just kind of the wild west. There are clearly legit requesters but it looks like they also have fraudsters of various stripes operating more or less openly. Guess it is what it is. If you got on a lot of favorite writer lists it could probably work because...

Ok, looks like this is at least a confirmed partial scam. The guy above who rejected my automotive article (ddrastrovac) is back, calling himself a slightly different spelling of his name. Under his name there are four glowing reviews, two by someone called elchapo202 and two others by someone...

Thanks man that looks like really good stuff but a little intimidating at the same time. I did sign up at upwork though so gotta start working on the next steps.

I guess I'll keep going here and kind of make it a "journey" thread, even though the consensus seems to be that its a lousy way to make money. So far its not going well. I had one article accepted though, so I guess that's good. Had another article rejected. I'll get to that in a second but...
