I was going to just walk away from it when I got that "too good to be true" feeling - but it actually looks legit? They even let you add a link at the end, could be a valuable backlink for a blog or ebook!

I'm working on it :)

You could actually get a quality 1000 word article done on Odesk for around $12 - that's not a profit to be sneezed at for doing well...not much lol

So true, I rekon you could even get a gig from a fiverr member.. Listverse say they get 15 million unique views per month. It's well worth a try to get a list accepted and published by them for sure.

ok, I emailed them some ideas for my top tens before I set to work - no response as yet and alarm bells started a little so i read through the t&c a little more thoroughly - once you click submit on your article, you give up all rights to it...whether it's paid for or not??!

I'm not giving up rights to a 1000 word article on the chance of "might be accepted"

That does make it difficult, and I wouldn't want to give up my rights to a article submission that is not accepted by them, I would look for another site to submit it to until accepted and be paid for it in the end.

Thats why you post here with me, anything we say will be accepted for publishing haha. And we are the experts hehe ;)

lmao - pity its not at 10c a word, I could retire soon!

I just can't figure out why they want to keep the rights if they aren't going to publish? My suspcious mind is thinking they are getting themselves a whole heap of free content and paying for say 1 in 5 to make for glowing reviews from people that have been paid - that makes their payouts .02 a word, not bad for top quality content!

Seems a bit of a lottery, and the one thing that I am not is lucky!

Well the SEO boost, links and traffic I supply to you is well worth it! But I do hope to have a money making posting dashboard in the future!

Don't they give you tips on what to do to make your submission acceptable and then you can re-submit it, or they just throw it out, or archive it to use later?

I have looked at the T&C's now, so I see what you are talking about. I wont submit anything under those conditions, so it's not for me. But it works for them so good luck to all.
