Earning Online | Part 5

Associated Content Yahoo Contributor Network

Formerly known as Associated Content (AC) until May 19, 2010, when Yahoo purchased Associated Content for more than $100 million. AC is now known by Yahoo Contributor Network.

AC was started by Luke Beatty in 2005 as an online publisher and distributor for original content. The site allowed everyone to publish their own content on various subjects and AC distributed that content online to various partners.
Payment Process of Yahoo Contributor Network
The earning process is basically the same as Gather. Seems as though you are paid based on views that your content brings in. See with each view, YCN earns money through ads places on the content you published. And a portion of that revenue is returned to you, the writer, on a monthly basis, through PayPal.

Just a note worth mentioning. If you are a writer of valued content, such as short stories, novels, etc. the Yahoo Contributor Network may not be right for you. Scott Rosenberg claims that AC does not aim its' content at human readers. They simply want to influence search engines such as Google with their content. And on a level of some sorts, I agree. I believe content such as recipes and articles about hot topics are best for the Yahoo Contributor Network. As most people click in there for some quick info.
