Did Associated Content stop paying for page views?

I haven't had an update to my amount for weeks now. And usually, every week I was getting at least $1, maybe even $4. Kind of suspicious.
Is anyone else getting page view updates still?
I wasn't sure if maybe it's because I don't write new articles anymore or what. I've been too busy since about April to bother writing articles for a few bucks.

Pageviews haven't been updated for weeks. They're working on making page view updates live by the hour, so that may hinder our page view updates now, however I'm not really sure about that. Just know that I haven't had an update and neither has my gf.

Ah, interesting. That would be cool to have updates by the hour. I hope that they'll have that soon.
I've been thinking of writing a few more articles, but still haven't really had the extra time that I used to. But at least pay for page views would be nice since I have already written so many articles.

I had noticed that mine didn't seem to be updating either. I didn't think it was really possible that I wasn't getting any views at all, especially since I have one article that continues to get a lot of views, even though I wrote it quite some time ago.
Hopefully they will get this sorted out soon, because I know I could definitely use the extra income. I need to start writing articles over there again, but I've been slacking off lately.

I would definitely send a message to admin@associatedcontent.com and ask them about that one! I know that before, they didn't process the payments for those till the end of the month, and it is quite solidly in the middle of the month right now!

Fairly sure it is still considered in "Beta" stage and therefore they are not going to hold themselves to any rules on when they update or total accuracy. I have not seen an update in a couple of weeks for sure, and it has taken this long before though as well so I would not worry.

Mine hasn't updated for a while - not even page views - and I have had about five or six articles published. Even if they only updated the page views every two weeks, it would be nice if they would post the update dates at the site.

They used to do it weekly, but not always on the same day. I think they should post the dates they'll do it too.
I have about 80 articles with them, so I usually at least notice the increase.
I need to find some other site to write for. AC has made me discouraged about writing. I haven't written anything in a pretty long time.

Check out constant content. They work a little differently from AC. They accept articles but sell them to third parties. You can set your own prices with CC, and they pay off at the first of each month.

I know what you mean. I think they used to do it about every month or so, but recently it has been about every 2 months. However, I have only been writing since March of this year.

AC normally pays for page views around the 10th-15th of the month. I notice that my page views usually update around the end of the first week of each month. I just got nearly $17.00 for last month, so, I am pleased with that. Each month, my page views have been updated and I have been paid accordingly.
