Well I am still new to AC and I have only done 4 articles. Two of them were for payment and the other two were rejected for payment, but I resubmitted them for non-payment. I think the PV policy is great for the articles that are non-payment, because it still gives you a chance at earning something instead of nothing at all.

I have several articles on there. And, the one they refused to pay for is the one with the most page views. It's crazy. I can't figure out what they want.

I've got a couple they refused and I edited and resubmitted, and they are among the most popular in my page view count. Go figure.

I started writing on AC long before they started the page view policy. I've only written a few articles since they implemented it, and I think that I've still been making pretty decent amounts for my initial article. The page view thing is very nice, because I have at least one article that continues to get a lot of views, so it's still making me money. It's always nice to still be making money on something I wrote last year, even if it is just pennies most weeks. It all adds up! :)

I make more since the page view thing was started, I really enjoy it.

I don't make enough from the few articles that I have over there to have much in the Page View account. It will take me forever to reach payout, so I guess I lean more toward the side of just paying better initially for the article. I know that Associated Content is just using this to try and drive readers to their site, but I don't see why this should be the writer's task. I think they are getting a lot of effort from their writers for very little money.

I haven't really submitted enough to have a strong opinion about it. I like that I am still making money on the article I wrote months ago even if it is just few cents. I did notice a drop in the initial payment, but I don't think it was enough of a drop to stop me from writing more.
