Associated Content is a unique media outlet that pays anyone who wants to write an article for them. They generally pay between $3 and $20 for an article and I once read that they accept about 90% of the articles that they receive. The key to making money off of AC is thinking in terms of Google Adwords, which is their primary source of revenue I believe. If you write them a keyword rich article that jives well with adwords then they will be willing to pay more money for that. Lest I get accused of being subversive here I'll be honest. They are running a referral program where I get $3 per person I refer, which explains my enthusiasm for promoting them. But they are a good company especially if you are a budding writer who needs some practice. Do remember though, they only pay for articles written by U.S. residents, and I think you have to be 18 too. They pay by PayPal I think 3 times a week, and will generally get to reviewing your article and make an offer on it within about 5 days or so. Become an Associated Content Producer Thanks, Tim
Why should it has referral link at the bottom ? Yes I wrote for AC too and it did not take long for them to review and approve my stories. Way faster than Ezinearticles. They use nofollow though but I am not writing for backlinks.
Yeah if your looking for backlinks AC isn't the place. They are just for people who want on average 5 bucks for a simple article.
