I recently wrote an article about the oppression of the poor by our government and submitted it to Associated Content. I am SO PSYCHED! THEY BOUGHT IT!!! I am thrilled! This is the second article I've submitted to them that they bought. The others were just published without payment except for per view payments, of course. If you'd like to read my article, check out the link below:

They generally pay $4 per article that they buy. Even if they don't buy my articles, I still get paid for viewings of them. This time out they paid me $4.07. It doesn't pay a whole lot but I am still building my reader base. As my following grows, so will the amount that I can earn from this site. I love it.

How much do you get for every view? Is that only for each unique visit?

To answer your first question, here is the direct quote from their manual:
Every piece of content you publish on AssociatedContent.com generates unlimited revenue for you based on the amount of traffic it receives (in addition to any Upfront Payment).
You earn money for every one thousand page views your content generates (PPM™ rate). The baseline PPM™ rate is currently $1.50 - meaning if you generate 30,000 page views, you're paid $45.00 in Performance Payments. As your library of content grows and your total page views accumulate, your Clout level increases. When you reach Clout 7 and beyond, your PPM™ rate will gradually increase up to a maximum of $2.00 per thousand page views.
I believe that they don't have to be unique views. If, say you go back to re-read the next day, that counts as a separate view. Also, if you pass on the link to my article to friends and family, that will definitely help me out. Thanks for all the support.

It takes just a few days for the payment to arrive in my PayPal account but they will pay. Thank you. I'm just thrilled.
