Made $30 on two articles today

yeah i would like to know that too does it matter if you do non exclusive rights
 
@ popmania - The payment option you select dpends on if you signed up as a US citizen or not. If you're using a US based PVA and used US based info to register then obviously you're selecting for Upfront payments

@ yuuchi - You can do non-exclusive if you want but if you're consisently selecting exclusive rights your upfront offers will be higher (all things being equal)
 
Hey redtide,

I am a long time lurker of blackhatworld and your AC thread. I have been learning more and more every day from your thread since I first saw it in June. A couple weeks ago, I finally had the inspiration to try the method for myself. I am now at a point where I have 3-4 rewriters providing sample articles. My idea is to submit the articles to AC to see how they fare in upfront payments; I also requested of my re-writers to provide the 5 keywords they used in their articles. However, I am not sure how to submit about 20 articles to AC over different accounts. I don't use a dynamic ip modem. My question to you: is there any free software that I can use to anonymize my web session while signed in to the website?

Appreciate the work you've put into the thread.

@ blackhatbob - Hi mate, glad you've found the thread helpful. Regarding IP changes and proxies, I switched to DSL specifically to be able to change my IP on the fly. As far as anonymizers I can't really recommend any current ones because I've been out of the loop since I started using DSL. I would spend time in the "proxies" section here at BHW and start a thread to get some direct advice in that sub-forum. Also, maybe someone else will pipe in with their opinions here. I hate to lead you astray on this one mate.

@ the gladiator - I'm doing well man, how are you? Regarding your question, I'm not really tracking with you. What do you mean about sending a sample article to be bookmarked? Basically you want to only bookmark articles that have already been published to AC, and of course you want to bookmark your main "content producers page" where your whole body of published articles are.

Please clarify what you mean my friend,

Cheers
 
Guys, if any of you reading this thread have not purchased his ebook...get it now. He spells out 99% of what needs to be done to cash in on this.

I'm going to be starting into this come monday and I'll keep everyone posted on my results.

blackhatbob- I am also interested in anonymizing my web sessions. I'll be doing some research into this tonight, and if I come across anything good, I'll PM you.
 
Thanks much nomore for the kind words about the book. Hopefully you've read the whole thread too because that should fill in that other 1% that didn't make its way into the book ;)

+ thanks for that

and then also a + rep for offering to work with blackhatbob for that solution

Cheers,

Redtide


edit: Also I wanted to congratulate kalikola for quietly putting the methods in the book to use and raising their upfront offers by $3.00 per article. The fact that you are a self starter kalikola and are willing to test and tweak what personally works for you with AC (without being spoon fed) is a testament to your future successes. Was great to get to know you mate.

Thanks for the input Redtide.
I also wanted to know what AC pays for a review of 500 words, with a clout level of 1.
I'll buy your book as soon as I make my first 30$ with AC, assuming your 17$ offer will end by then.

Blackhatbob, have you tried Hotspot shield, or Ultrasurf? I think they should solve the problem of anonymous logins. Hotspot shield is a VPN kind of service, but it has a 5GB monthly transfer limit. Ultrasurf is fast and provides a US proxy.
There is also a software called GPass, its also like Ultrasurf. You can try them all and see which works best, cos' they're all free.

Hi popmania,

It's impossible to put a figure on it. There's too many variables like how well written it is, how the punctuation, grammar, spelling and sentence structure is, how eye catching the title is and how unique the article's keywords are.

Btw, + rep for offering up some current proxy solutions.

Cheers
 
Long time lurker on the thread but having gone through the trying to change my IP route recently I figured I'd chime in with some advice.

First off, DEFINITELY check out the proxies section. Just the stickied threads in there will give you enough info to find IP's for yourself (from browsing forums) to use and how to implement them.

If you just need something quick and won't be changing all that often, you can use TOR. It's free but also slow. It SHOULD work for AC but don't count on it working for CL or youtube, etc. I can't imagine AC has that many IP's blocked that Tor should be a problem, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

You could also go with a service like hidemyip or step up to using VPN's and go with someone like StrongVPN or usaip.eu For all of you NOT IN THE US this would be a good idea (it isn't free, there is a monthly charge) but you'll appear to be located in the US and can go about your business as if you were in the US (minus the SSN number and US paypal accounts of course).

Hope this helps and great thread. Been on the fence about getting your book, but only because I don't know how much I feel like writing everyday (would love the extra income so I've been considering it hard for a couple weeks now... told you I've been lurking).

Hi Undefy,

Great post mate, should be a big help for those needing a current proxy solution with AC. Like you pointed out, it's not rocket science but does take some basic reading around here on BHW. Also, just to clarify regarding the book, it's all about outsourcing the actual writing. The only thing I'll write myself are the $10-$20 partner calls. I also have my rewriters do these at times depending on how my schedule is that day. For these I pay them $3 per article because it's original writing and not a rewrite.

Again, thanks for a great contribution to the thread mate...+rep and thanks given

Also, I'll use this oppurtunity to say to everyone that if you're going to get serious about AC to make it a full-time business, I would consider getting an ISP that gives dynamic IP addresses. Again, AC doesn't auto-check IP's but that could change at anytime. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially when wanting to build your clout levels up.

Regards

After reading the entirety of this post, I think I'm going to hop back in to the AC game.

Back before they updated and changed the site I was using WordFlood to re-write articles. This was before I ever even thought about outsourcing.

I was making a solid $3.23 on EACH article I wrote and none of them were ever rejected. All this using Wordflood. I could flood 4 articles an hour, so it was respectable.

The best thing about this method is that you really don't need an initial start-up investment. Spend a week rewriting articles yourself, and there's your outsourcing funds!

After work today I'm going to get started on building up my AC empire.

Just a couple of easy questions before I go!

I can't seem to find the Call for contents? Have they changed these or removed them any?

And I'm assuming most re-writers can accept payment through paypal. This may depend on the person but to your knowledge is this mostly true?

You have my thanks redtide1969!
 
Thanks man,

Those were the days with AC ;)

Now they're a lot more strict on what they'll take unfortunetely. Nowadays you have to have the articles really optimized to get the higher upfronts. With regards to C4C's, they changed their name to partner calls. PC's are where you can make $10-$20 apiece, but you have to earn the right to be offered them (we covered it in length throughout the last 7 pages of the thread) Now, C4C's are just the low paying articles in the Assignment Desk, which I really don't bother with.

Regarding Pay*pal, I just make it clear in my ad that I only pay through PP and it's never been an issue. I've had people ask me to use GAF's escrow service but I let them know it's PP only.


Cheers
 
Sorry for my late reply guys...My net connection was down from the past two days...

hey bh manic just be more specific in nature with concern to your topics selected. also search in ac's librabry for similar contents with the keywords you use for the articles. do it b4 u strat writing or outsourcing in this way you will be able to write on the topics that does not have any articles or comparitively less articles hope this will help you bye4now HIDAYAKUMULLAH

Thanks for the tip mate:)


Sorry to hear it mate, did you rewrite them or were they outsourced?

all were rewritten by me only... anyway I've thrown that account as i did enough experiment...time to do something big...:)
 
Ugh I am getting crapped on all sorts today, had every single article submitted from the weekend declined for "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 checked my keyword in AC first, and there wasn't a single article for any of the keywords I was going for.

Bad reviewer? I seem to get crapped on Mondays a lot from AC

EDIT: Ok I have had 28 articles declined in a row for this reason, and they are all well searched monthly keywords, with 0-1 other articles published on associated content already (Most have 0). Also, one was for a review of something that was not on AC at all! Not just the keyword, but the whole product!

I am guessing my account is flagged? I am about to say F AC and just submit my articles to other sites with affiliate links at the bottom.

this happened to me too, i think it's because the keyword that you choose to talk about was too broad

I thought that maybe about a few of mine, but there is just no way with some of the keywords I was targeting, especially with the product review one.

Same here.
They are rejecting most of my articles, most of then are good-niche + major keywords density = %2-2.5 + good grammar etc.
AC is really becoming more strict about accepting articles these days. :(

"I am about to say F AC and just submit my articles to other sites with affiliate links at the bottom."
Yeah..me too... :/
 
I've had the exact same problem for the last 20 articles I submitted. I never had a problem before. I want to know what the f is going on with that.
