It is paid service.The idea is that they will publish your article on around 400 article directory's for a $14/article. I was on the pending list for 2 weeks and today they tell me that they just opened an account for me on the 'monster article' free service. They have a forum with so many angry people there.Sign up free if you want and check the forum. Amazing!?! They are black listed from now on (in my book)! Just be careful out there...
