The website is a mess. Page views are non existant since the Google algorithm change and there are so many glitches their IT department must be run by idiots. You should read their forums. Nothing but complaints about how everthing is broken.

I stopped writing for them in February after several years of submitting consistently. Many of their top writers have also stopped submitting there.

I think AC is blocking some people who don’t have much content to avoid paying any advertising revenue the articles generate. It’s certainly not much for one person, but it adds up for the company when you consider thousands of articles. I called the company for some assistance when my first email was never answered and was told help is ONLY provided through email. Good luck with that. I think there needs to be some federal government investigation into these writing mill sites to regulate the illegal business practices. A publisher can’t sign a contract to pay royalties on a book and then block a bank account payment. Added insult is the fact that the email requests are ignored!

thanks for sharing it.

In any case, thanks for the response. I guess that I should expand a bit on what I am doing & how I plan to asses whether freelance writers can make a full-time income using these two websites.

In reality, yes; I believe that even writing for Associated Content alone can give you a “livable” income, or at least a nice staple to supplement it… this experiment is just to show others that it can, indeed, be done.
