ok, i have been reading the forum alot lately and seen different AC methods. So I did a mehod I seen in the money making forum on here and I did a little test, and submitted 2 articles. Today i woke up to this message :

Screw them for what? Because you don't understand you need to post something of value? Don't kid yourself thinking you're going to post half-assed garbage and expect a paypal payment in your e-mail. Go sit your ass down and write a proper article. I get by without citations.

Just do some revisions and resubmit the articles.

Submit quality content, Search AC for topics and when you find something that does not get a lot of hits, find an article about it and rewrite it.

So, resubmit it with the citations. I got my first rejection for lack of sources last week. I just put down a couple that I had used, sent it back at 'em, and after sitting on it for a week they finally accepted.

Usually I don't have a couple of sources (let alone citeable ones), but they picked the wrong article to mess with. I had gotten curious about something, so I looked up a relevant fact that wasn't in the main article. Presto, 2 sources.

Just feed new sources :/ Whats the big deal? They are obviously not going to pay you for something they don't like.

Adhere to their terms, use proper citations and they'll pay you!
