This is actually a good
way to earn an income if you can write quality original articles quickly. Getting
approved is very easy. Write informative articles about topics you know that
help people. Submit it for upfront pay and hope it gets accepted. It's that
simple. There is an option to resubmit your article for non-exclusive/performance
pay which allows you to republish the content to other sites while you earn a CPM
rate of $1.50 to start.
I submit my articles that
don’t get accepted for upfront pay by Yahoo Contributor Network to
Fullofknowledge. The staff is friendly and helpful. I only started at the
beginning of September so I haven't received a payment from them yet. Once I
do, I'll update. FoK also has a partner site called Expertspages.com which is
still new and hasn't built a readership following yet. I'll update its progress
as well over the coming weeks. FoK allows you write about whatever you wish and
their guildlines are very relaxed.

Chikita (Do Not Use This Network)
Chikita registers all the
page views but requires 1000 registered impressions before you start earning
any revenue. It is also easy to get started. The dashboard is relatively easy
to follow. I've read their CPM rates are much lower than Adsense although I
can't see how you can get much lower that $0.00. I haven't generated the
required minimum yet but I average about 150 impressions per day so I'll update
once I know more.
Update Oct 14 2013: Don't rely on impressions with Chikita. I lost 11 impressions. From 154 down to 148. They require a minimum of 1000 impressions before you can begin to receive CPM from Chitika. I'll give this network time to earn 1000 impressions. But the back pay for these impressions should be paid for.
Update Oct 18 2013: Chikita continues to subtract valid impression. Down from 148 to 112 as of today with less than 10% of total impressions recorded. They offer no revenue until 1000 impressions yet they ensure you never reach the 1000 impressions by subtracting them. For this reason, I don't recommend Chikita as a valid earning network. Once I find an alternative, I'll be dropping Chikita altogether.

If you can find a way to
draw traffic that is simply itching to click and buy then this is the Ad
network for you. Unfortunately, the contrary is often the case. They
predominantly display CPC (Cost per Click) ads and if you get no clicks you get
no earnings. I haven't seen any CPM revenue from Adsense yet. Notice the
difference in registered impressions from Chikita. Both Adsense and Chikita
were added to the same sites at the same time. This leads me to believe Adsense
does not register all the impressions. I'll update if anything changes, but
I've bumped Adsense down to bottom feeder status until I start seeing results.
Update Oct 11, 2013: Noticed some diminishing returns in impressions. Dropped from 29 to 26.
Update Oct 14, 2013: See that I haven't earned anything from CPM with Adsense. $2.00 in clicks but no payout until $100 minimum.

This network has surprised
me somewhat. I have it running on a site I haven't gotten around to
restructuring toward content yet. But I have had a bit of curious snoopers
check it out. CPMLeader registered them and added the revenue to my dashboard. I
haven't reached the minimum $5.00 payout rate yet so I have no idea if this is
even a legitimate site or not. But this promises to be a good earner once I
begin to work on the site and get more traffic in. They allow Blogspot ads by
request only. I haven't gotten a reply yet but will update.
