this is why i dont want to outsource. so many people are idiots. seriously.
I have been writing articles for my white hat sites and have found that vista speech recognition works better than DNS.
I started out with DNS, then gave up, (bought a new computer) then decided to try out speech recognition.
It started out kind of rocky, but when you correct the words, the program learns fast. In another couple weeks, it would hardly ever make mistakes.
People can outsource all they want, but I have seen the quality of these articles. If I was an Indian, I would buy books in English, and just copy from them to give to dumb Americans trying to pay cheap wages.
No one answered my original question in the next three pages. If Indians have access to the internet, and professional English authors can receive 30$+ an article, then why aren't Indians charging 30$ an article? Common sense FTW!
I have seen the sitepoint marketplace and just how good these third world articles are. At best one is hoping to gain search engine traffic and hoping for a quick adsense click. The content is painful to read, almost like a half decent written Viagra spam email.
Writing isn't like manufacturing where you take the exact same factory in America and transplant it in China and receive the same quality goods. (or not judging by the amount of poison they ship here)
You people have to be aware that Australian writers can be had for around 3$ an article. Some people are just dirtbags, who are happy to sell out their countries. No wonder the West is in such financial ruin, when white people are too lazy to do their own work and need slaves to do the work for them.
Keep in mind that google is going to get better and better at delisting these crap sites and will only value high quality stuff in the next two years. Black hat SEO is already a dying breed. Look at the amount of successful blog farms today as compared to two years ago. The wild west that was the Internet has been tamed. I am trying to build a lasting business model; I just throw the black hat in for some extra money.
Since I gave up on AC, I had to have submitted over 500 articles.
I found that they frequently liked to give out the 2.24 if you submit 10 or so a day. As well, I found that payouts gradually decreased over the past month, although there are a couple nice editors who always seem to pay around 4$.
There was really no significant SEO difference in the articles and topics that I could tell, so there is a lot of variance depending on the editor.
Payouts will just get lower and lower in the future. If I was AC, I would keep gradually lowing payouts unless things leveled out.

Oh yes, and the editors are real stupid or else too busy reviewing articles. If you get an account banned, then you can submit the exact same articles over again and get another payout.
