I believe you can list URLs but without including the "www" at the beginning. So, to cite wikipedia you would list it simply as wikipedia.org

Hello and welcome The requested content is always good because it offers guidance for article ideas and you have more chance of your work being sold. That said, CC has become extremely popular with Webmasters in recent months so write whatever takes your fancy, floats your boat, and piques your inte...

Can't be done unless you reword the 500 words in each case. All articles have to be 100% original to pass copyrighting/duplicate content tests.

On the other hand, though, I've sold a 6,000 word article and numerous 2,500 to 3,000 word articles on here.

I never said I didn't enjoy it. :D I love writing and making a living from it was a dream for a long, long time. After struggling to find anything close to a reasonable paying contract I find myself overwhelmed at the minute because of the amount of stuff I'm selling through CC and because of my own...

CC also does the marketing for us. At least, I do a lot, lot less marketing by writing an article, submitting it to CC and then waiting for a sale (currently, that is an exceptionally short wait). The alternative (without having a website) is writing an article and then approaching numerous websites...

If these were my articles, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it if the buyer feels they can make it work for them. In fact, I'd be quite happy if it meant more sales. :) I price my work at a level I'm comfortable selling it for so there's no issue there either. There's certainly nothing anyo...

It's probably the file type and file size that are of more concern than the actual physical picture size. Not that I could tell you what CC prefer of course but digital photograps tend to be huge in terms of KB unless you convert them.

I think the bigger picture here is that constant-content is, above all else, a content website. You're asking a staff of two maybe three people to implement something that even Amazon as a massively global interest probably struggle to cope with. At the moment the acceptance time for our articles is...

Two points. You clearly haven't looked around the site to see what it's about. Yes, there will be a problem with you spamming the boards. Second, I believe this mirrors perfectly the post on another section of this board about $3 articles not being up to the grade, usually because they are written b...

Hi CC, Just a quick follow on to surfeit my curiosity. I understand that clients have the opportunity to be informed when new articles are added under specified topics, by particular users, or to fill a request. When an article, as in this case, becomes re-available (I'm struggling for a real word f...

They were long articles - 6,000 and 2,000 words respectively, so it wasn't an excessively high amount. 10 cents per word or thereabouts.

The $600 and the c. $200 - the kid's will eat after all. :D

It's not a problem, 9 days just seemed a while. Thanks for sorting it for me.

It's hectic as hell at the moment.

Yeah, I've had a few before but these are the longest I've seen. It's not really a problem, especially beacuse I made 2 REALLY good sales today.

Thanks for your help, though.

9 days at "order being processed"

Hello CC peeps, I have three articles that have been at status "order being processed - unpaid" for about nine days now. I don't have a problem waiting a little longer but the same client has already purchased another article that they began buying on the same day. Do you know what is goin...

I recently read Burmese Days by Orwell--it's one of those novels that sticks with you, despressing as it is. More and more I'm turning into a geographical reader--getting to know a climate or locale like China, Siberia, or wherever. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel has been on my list--it seems like...
