Don't worry about reaching those levels.. if you are trully "Gold" worthy your post and replies will make or break you in this forum! Be helpful and read, investigate and help people (without posting a bunch of links) that will educate you and the person you are replying to. That's one of the main keys! If it was that easy to have GOLD status everyone and their dog would be gold status! There is moderation on this forum so unless you are helping you are hindering those looking for help.
Please understand what he is trying to say. He is not talking about forum, he is asking how to become gold member at chitika publishers. Just keep on bringing quality traffic, once their system analyses it and you qualify, then they will approve you with a gold membership.
