So far is Hubpages the Best Paying Writing Site over Association Content?

I dont know Associated Content has quit paying upfront for many topics. There are lots of complaints in the forums about rejections. I I believe when the member base has increased and the inroduction of paid views the upfront payment went down. However, if you write a good article with good keywords that align well with google ads you may get higher upfront. Yea Associated Content pays upfront but they have gotten picky lately.My reviews always get upfronts. At least you can still get page view bonus there. I try dividing among the two. Thats a good idea rich in mind.

Yes.

Write your articles on Hubpages with good keywords and then rewrite or write an article relating to the same thing on Associated Content. But, put a linkback to your hubpage from Associated Content.

Lol, no. You get upfronts and performance pay with Associated Content.
