Made $30 on two articles today

If I get articles declined with:

"Thank you for your submission. 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."

I should resubmit the article with the twist in redtide's book, right ?

AC is really being a b****, I get the same thing as del boy.
They are starting to refuse a lot now, I mostly post how to articles and they are refusing pretty much all of them!!

before submit the article, you should check on AC database if there are many articles talking about your topic.

@ D3lux3 - Just to clarify, you dont "throw away" the accounts when they reache $500 in total earnings, you keep the account to collect page views payments each month. I usually stop using accounts for upfront payments at $450 in earnings and then have approx. $150 to work with to get monthly performance payments and to claim Partner Calls with. Right now I have 26 live accounts that I'm doing this with.

Also like Buck said, start slow with your submissions at no more than 5 per day per account for the first week or so. You don't want to start right off submitting 10-12 per account everyday.

Cheers

who owns the article after you upload it and get paid can you also publish it on your own site after its said and done
Posted via Mobile Device

If you submit for upfront payments, AC owns the rights to the articles. If you submit as non-exclusive and go for performance payments only then you can submit to your sites, directories etc.

Can you use different proxies?

To play it safe, yes you should, especially if you're out of the US

Yea, do the things I talked about in the book and then let it sit for a few weeks before you resubmit it to the same account. I don't like to risk trying to submit it to a different account.

It means that the keywords that the article is written on aren't focused enough. This rejection notice is very similiar to the "this content is too broad in scope" message. There are too many others that have already written based on your keywords more than likely. Or in general, it just wasn't different enough.

They have all different work schedules and hours, some part-time and some full-time. They have such a huge workload that they outsource some of it as well del_boy.

I'm a bit confused about AC articles and google. Some of my articles get indexed while others don't. Anyone know the reason for this? I'm trying to get my clout to go up.

I promote my articles via social networks but still it's frustrating when the articles don't even show up in a google search

apktntaj · Sep 9, 2009

how did you complete the AC signup process guys ? if you plan to use AC multiple accounts in the future especially if you're Non-US resident ? Did you signup each new AC account with real data or the fake one (name, date of birth, zip or postal code) ?

what is the safest bet since we are taking some risk by signing up multiple accounts (multiple datas, multiple emails, AC accounts, and only one gaypal account) ? as we know that 8 emails are max emails that can be linked into one gaypal account.

regards,
apktntaj

beastmoon · Sep 9, 2009

same for me, I just signup with fake account where information I get from fake*nameg*enerator.com then create email account associated with it, but one gaypal acc
I don't know if this is good or not

buck88 · Sep 9, 2009

why do you say always the some questions???

I am tired

If you read all the 17 pages of this thread you will begin masters of AC

We all ask the same question, because, like on so many of these forums, we don't get the same results.

In lieu of my having nothing in my paypal account, and no way of readily seeing how to top it up (it being another bloody us bank thing), I thought I'd just go for it and try to sign in just ONE account myself. After I'd received the AC validation no in the wav file, the AC bloody page in which to insert such bloody number disappeared!!! Read it again. And all this for a lousy 2-3 USD an article. No wonder people sell bloody drugs/their bodies/rob banks. Christ.

tamsin the validation code is valid for 5 min only. If you don't insert the code within 5 min, the verification process failed.

buck88 · Sep 9, 2009

ahahahah never happend to me

luckly

i know that!!! But when you move from your email inbox to download the wav file from k7, the bloody ac validation box disappears, you cannot get back to it. Jesus.

calm down man, have you tried bueno dot com ? :tee:

I noticed a lot of people saying AC is refusing a lot of articles now... I don't find that to be true at all, Since I started with AC over 2 weeks ago i've had 1 article out of 25 refused, and my lowest offer yet has been $2.67. I even got my fiance writing for fun and i'm jealous because her first 3 offers so far have all been $4! For ridiculous stuff like a review on our Tent. She is a very good writer though and graduated english with honors.

Either way though I don't see any decline in accepting articles as I've had 1 out of 25 declined and most offers are $3, the lowest being 2.67. As well as collecting upfronts i've been promoting my articles for page views and have my clout level at 3 already. Is that good for maybe 2 weeks tops? I wanted to start slow, this week im shooting for atleast 10 articles a day.

To those of you getting declined are you searching AC and atleast making sure what your writing about isn't over saturated? That's what I always do and I write about a lot of stuff that's niched specific to my area, or specific items. DOn't use broad subjects because that's what I did on my 1 article they didn't take. I learned quick what they want I guess because they take all of my articles for the most part.

AC doesn't decline if you know how to submit correctly and which content choose to submit

how much time ac takes to review?

Earlier my articles were getting reviewed within 3 days of submission, but today it's 7th day i am still waiting

they can take 2-11 days to review. Sunday they don't work I think.

JonWrong · Sep 9, 2009

It can vary but I feel they took the holiday weekend off because now all of mine are going through yesterday/today. Honestly my first batch took about a week. Once I started giving them consistent content they liked everyday, I'd honestly get same day reviews and offers. If not 2 days max has been normal for me lately. It's nice to see them get reviewed and payed out just a few hours after being turned in though. I love that.

twoj04 · Sep 9, 2009

Redtide,
At what clout level did you start to see your articles hitting 5$ + ? I have a couple 5's and one 4 and hit an average 3.40-3.50$ per. Is it around 7 or 8?

Also, for the higher my clout level/amount of page views I get per article directly dependent on how much I get paid for future articles? If so, I plan on throwing some traffic onto these to get a steady 5$ (hopefully up to 6$) per article.

Which posts are you referring to, the ones directly above? I've already said I tried ONE account with the k7? ONE. And the INSERT VALIDATION ON AC DISAPPEARS. Geddit?

Tamsin, you need to chill...you come off like everyone here owes you something. We help each other here, we don't come un-glued because something didn't go our way. It's already been well covered here that K7 works for most but not EVERYONE. With that said, it could have been something as simple as an AC site glitch. It's well covered already how glitchy their site is.

Coming off with an attitude like that will get you nowhere in this forum, let alone any other forum. Perhaps this explains why some of your problems...ie "all online forums suck" and "got no money in my PP account."

To be successful in online money making takes persistance and effort..not a mindset of "help make this work for me or I'm going to get pissed!"

tamsin said:
and in WHAT way does that differ from k7?- just before I waste yet another day on it? i
t's not just this forum, I'm sick of all the misinformation given out on ALL forums on the internet. so much chaff, so little wheat.

If you think this forum is full of "misinformation"...perhaps you should move on?

Awesome to hear jon!

I'm liking your work ethic and mindset here. I take it you got the book and are using the things I talked about in it?

That's just an awesome start, and it's cool that you have your wife working it with you. I have my girlfriend working AC as well.

Again, congrats and keep us posted on how you're doing.
