Made $30 on two articles today

hey red, i got a question regarding pageviews. I have some articles published that have 500-600 page views and others that have 30-40. Most of the article that have high page views are performance only articles. My question is should I stop promoting the performance only articles and focus more on the other articles? It's harder to get page views for my upfront articles even when I do promote them unless I use misleading methods. Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.
 
@ Anthraxx - It's hard to say what your proxy problem with the ACMS could be. He does have a support thread for it here http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/associated-content-writing-articles/142311-ac-mass-submitter-official-q-help-thread.html

@ tchashow - It wouldn't be a bad idea to concentrate more of your efforts on the upfront articles PV's. Remember that everything is based on an "average" so your perf. only articles are certainly helping to carry your low PV articles. I would let the Perf. only ones just collect their natural traffic while you put that effort squarely on the laggers. ;)

Either way it looks like your doing great so far! :beer:
 
alright redtide
i'm buying your book right now
hope i make money....
 
I'm sure you'll make money Sonokai, on what level is up to you. Like many of us have talked about earlier in this thread, the foundation for how much you earn is based on 1) your persistance, and 2) your ability to differenciate between a good article and a subpar article. If you have those as a foundation prior to using the book then you'll do well. Keep your IP's/proxies in order, clear cache /cookies and give them quality content and page views.

Okay, I came across something on AC today... check out this guy who joined AC two weeks ago and has ONE article and 10,000 total page views!?!??

Code:

So what, if I want to rack up page views I just stick up a short 'article' with a slightly provocative picture and I'm set!?!
 
D-day, Be extremely careful with what pictures you put on your profile. Many of AC's top writers have a huge (and I do mean HUGE!) problem with anything sexual.

I remember once they came across a profile with a provocative picture and they reported it to AC admins. The profile was removed.

Wow. Thats pretty unbelievable. Is this woman super famous? lol, maybe i've been under a rock. Its hard to believe that a 3 picture slideshow (with low quality pictures) could do so well.

Do they get upset with posting provocative content as well like the posted slide show or do you mean exclusively profile pictures?

NOTE: Sorry about the double post. The multiquote didnt seem to work for me.


....now i feel like making a half-assed slide show and see how well it does.
 
@redtide- thanx for the help! i've found a new way of getting traffic that gets me around 300 views each time I do it. Do you think A*C will ban me if I keep using this method or is 300 views per article each day going to fly under their radar?

@everyone- hey guys, pyrogenic media just released a free software you can use on yahoo answers. here's his thread. you guys should check it out: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...ools/154982-answer-me-yahoo-answers-tool.html

Yeah, Alizee is a french singer. Not the greatest and I'm no lesbian ...but she's certainly pretty.
 
DAMN! I just found out my whitehat account got banned. I don't even have a clue as to why because I only submitted like 4 articles on the whole account and I'm pretty sure they were original articles. and I only had like 100 page views. I was laying low on that account because when I first started I got some articles denied. I'm really bummed about it because I wanted to have at least one clout level 10 account for good upfronts. DAMMIT!!!!!!!

Yeah, I looked into her not too long ago but it seems extremely surprising that the published slideshow got 10,000 views. Maybe there was some underhanded traffic? I think the author is relatively new to AC from join date so maybe after the end of this month if the author is gone then we will know if it was real traffic or not

Thats terrible. And no reason why it was banned at all? That really sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Something odd that happened is that I submitted an article in a certain type of niche and I got an upfront for it. Then the next day I did the same type of article and they said they dont pay upfronts for it. By the same reason they gave me the first article shouldnt have been accepted. I went for views only and it looks like it will be successful. Maybe i'm running into luck because my averages are climbing and i'm getting one day reviews
 
Yeah, no reason that I can think of. Unless I accidentally plagiarized but I don't see how thats possilbe. Maybe some asshole at A*C seen my article and thought it was a rewrite of something they did. I don't know.......

I checked my logs to see what articles I had submitted to that account and I submitted 3 articles that I claimed from the assignment desk and 1 article that was an original article on gardening. I don't know what the hecks going on but I guess I will just have to go completely blackhat, which I don't really mind doing. :D

Well, I know they complained about that profile picture and they love to complain about the "sexual" ads AC runs. Too bad those very same "sexual" ads are the ones putting money in their pockets.
 
@ D-day - What the person is most likely doing is testing to see if he can use bought traffic to inflate page views to see if he'll be paid out for it or not. There was a guy earlier this year that from BHW that had 3 articles submitted within a month and had over 1 million views generated from fake traffic (like I've said before, the views will be counted initially but won't get paid out for by AC), after the 15th of the month he was banned and didn't get a penny.

I did a bunch of testing earlier this year with different scripts/faking the referrer and the same thing happened. Unfortunetely, if there was a way to make bought/fake traffic work for us we would all be rich, not only from AC but any of the content sites that pay per view.

With that said, if there's anyone lurking on this thread that's ever been paid out for more than a month using these tactics please post your story up. :D

@ tchashow - Regarding your question about pulling 300 views a day, they can get suspicious if it starts from nowhere. It really depends on the method and whether or not it's BH and breaking their TOS. Either way, you'll want to build it up over time to play it safe. (not sure if you have control over the total per day with whatever method you're using). It sounds slick though and would love to hear about it through PM if you don't want to make it public. Have you been paid out for any of the views while using it?

Answer Me looks like a nice program. I wish he was planning to further develop it so it could auto answer, he'd make some nice dough off it for sure.

About your WH account, so sorry to hear that! Unfortunetely, it's impossible to know what happened in your case because there's so many underlying factors. I doubt it was a plagiarism issue if you're doing all original content. With that said, I would still check for plagiarism with your stuff if you're pulling from other online content to play it safe. From the few things you said it sounds like it it could be account creation/IP/cookies related but that's just a stab in the dark without more info. Was the account based on a PVA bought from here at BHW?

Either way it sucks, but it's definitely part of the game. Onward and upward the BH way!

@ Millygirl - They have to "try to appear" politically correct on the AC boards but they're probably running fetish porn sites on the side.

I got an email in my inbox the other day about a new release titled "Nina and Angie Does Dallas"

;)
 
Hey red, thanks for answering my question. I just started using the method to get page views 2 days ago so I don't know if I can get away with it yet. But as far as i can tell, it works great to get page views so hopefully it will work out. I got 197 views the first day and 300 views the second. I don't want to share the method as of yet because I don't want to get other people banned for using my method. But it is not bought traffic. You can't control the amount of pageviews you get though using this method. well in a way you can... I'll explain more later. ;)

PM SENT RED! :D

Regarding your question about my white hat account, I did not use a PVA so that can't be an issue. It probably has something to do with my cookies not getting cleared because I don't clear them. But my other accounts didn't get banned so I don't know...

To play it safe with your cookies and cache you should think about grabbing a copy of CCleaner. It's the best choice for use with AC, and you can't beat the (free) price tag. ;)

Btw...Happy New Year everyone!!

Let's monetize the hell out of 2010!!

Cheers!!
 
Does anyone know the average waiting time for them to review your upfront articles during a holiday? A post earlier in this thread had said 1-3 days NOT during a holiday...but will it take more than a week?

Additionally, what method do you guys use for creating articles? DNSpeaking, a human rewriter, software rewriter, or some other technique?
I've been using DNSpeaking, but not sure if I could use a software rewriter for more efficiency.
