Congratulations.
Just keep trying it

And what they said about your rejected articles?
"incorrect grammar..."? "duplicated content"?

thank you sir :rofl:
AC's feedback on the rejected ones were :

" Unfortunately, this content did not qualify for an Upfront Payment offer because the topic is not specific enough in scope to be discoverable in an average internet search. "

"AC is building a unique library of online content, and, unfortunately, this submission doesn't differ enough in topic or breadth from existing content to qualify for Upfront Payment."

what are do you think should I improve on sir? i`m not really sure on what this means.. thanks again =)

I am pretty much going to be done with AC in a minute. They keep rejecting very original stuff. I have published many just for page views and will not submit any more. They are a legal sweatshop paying pennies for quality work. I look at other writers articles, not very original at all. I am just not getting it.

OK, guys confirmed it, AC users on AC's own forums are having a series of 12-19 articles rejected. I do not believe it's me, now. This count of people experiencing the same prob is in the last 2 days.... I think AC might have some probs of it's own. Because they like me have had no issues with article approval rate until now...

And also you can try textbroker... I am getting very good reviews from many people about it. Its really far more better than AC it seems.

Textbroker is GREAT if you're writing your own articles (and have perfect grammar and spelling)! There is none of this BS guessing what you're going to be paid (if anything) like there is with AC. And there's none of that waiting forever for an article to be accepted, either. The buyer gets 3 days to say he'll take it. If he doesn't take it by then...the system accepts it FOR him! And if he tries to refuse it...see below...

The pay is also way better than AC. I thought getting $3.90 out of AC was something great, until I got to textbroker and got $5.60 for 400 words. (That's for 4-star rated articles. Fewer stars = less money.)

But I haven't been able to figure a way to scale it up. They only let you claim one article at a time and the deadlines are short.

The biggest hitch right now for new people wanting to sign up with textbroker probably is the fact that they said (on their blog) that they aren't accepting any more writers at this time.

I did not really care for textbroker. I tried it for two articles. One was approved but one buyer requested a revision saying could I add stuff that was not requested in the original request. I am not revising a $3 article and I did what was asked.

I had a buyer try to get a complete rewrite out of me, claiming it wasn't what he wanted even though his instructions consisted of nothing but a keyword list! Needless to say, I didn't rewrite it - instead, I emailed Support and disputed his claims. When he tried to reject it, they made him pay up!

They don't let unreasonable buyers take articles and run or demand rewrites on bogus pretenses. They can see all the requirements a buyer stated in his order, and if your article matches, the money goes to your account.

Fortunately, most of the buyers are great and don't try to get free articles or try to add requirements after the fact. But there is an occasional dud.
