Hey I just signed into AC and found out that they are adding a py bonus based on page views for your articles. I think it is great. This is in addition to the amount you get paid when an article is submitted and accepted. They pay the bonus monthly and right now it is $1.50 per 1000 page views.
I think this is a terrific idea. There are rules you have to follow to be eleigble but they are pretty easy. When I logged in the first page I saw was about this. They are also talking about it in the message board there if you want more info.
I am thrilled with this as it helps increse earning at the site. They pay monthly if your bonus is at least $15. AC just keeps getting better.
What are your thoguhts on this new bonus program?

I never heard of it before, however, seems pretty interesting. I will take a look and see what they have to offer and how I could benefit..
Thanks for the post Sunny...

AC does take more work than Mylot because you actually have to write articles, but the pay when you article is accepted is way better than mylot and you don't have to wait to get paid. they usually pay within a couple of days of accepting an article. I haven't written any articles since Novemeber but I think I better get right back at it and start generating more articles which in trun generate more page views. thanks for responding.

The fact that AC has put a bonus structure in place is great. Way better than Helium, which refuses to do anything like that. I have been on both sites for about a month, and AC is the better place to publish. They pay you more and now you can even earn bonuses. I have made 6 times the amount of money on AC as Helium.

Yes, I found out about it last night when I logged in. I think it is fantastic. What a nice way to reward their content producers. I don't get that many page view, but I appreciate the bonus all the same. They do keep improving in my view. I love AC.

I think it's an interesting idea. It will certainly get people to work harder at pulling it more pageviews, and it will help those that are working hard, but recieving low offers. It will help people come back more and more I think.

You are so right. I thnk it will help people who get low offers to stay with AC while they imporve their article writing in order to get the higher offers. I know it is making me go back after a few months off, because I want that bouns to add up. thanks for responding.

I just logged in and saw the bonus thing. I think it's a great idea. I haven't even been writing there for a month yet, so my bonuses aren't that high yet. But I've been writing a couple articles every day, so I'm sure my bonuses will add up quickly. And it's just that, a bonus. I'm happy with the money that they were already offering.
I just got a really nice offer yesterday for one of my articles. It makes me feel so good getting paid for something I like to do. Especially since it's something I can do from home so my son doesn't have to go to a babysitter.
If anyone wants to read any of my articles, here is the link to my newest one. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/164643/symptoms_of_pregnancy_how_to_deal_with.html

Yea, it is a great feeling when they accept and article and make you an offer. I have been happy with all the offers I have gotten and this bonus is a nice incentive to get me to write more articles so I can get more pageviews. Thanks for responding.

I agree, I think it will get people to spend a little more time promoting their articles. I know I will. Thanks for responding.

You can definately make tons more money at AC but it does take more work since you have to actually write articles. If you can get into a habit of writing a couple articles a day, you could make some decent money. I haven't been able to get into that habit yet, but I think I will try a little harder now that they have the bonus and they have decided to offer high amounts for certain articles. Thanks for responding.

I like the idea of a bonus payment; it certainly gives an incentive to get others to read your articles and become subscribers. If you want to become my friend (and I'll become yours and subscribe), send me an email over at Associated Content. My name is Christine Zibas. I haven't got many articles yet (ony 11), so who knows how long it will take for me to actually see that bonus, but for folks who have written a lot, it's a sweet deal; anyway, I think that any extra incentive is a great one.

I only have 17 total with 3 of them being nonpaid but I do still have a little bonus. I haven't submitted since November because life got so crazy, but I plan to get back to it. I will subscribe to you and send you an email so you can subscribe to me. thanks for responding.
