Thanks for this Mark. I haven't done a lot of posting articles yet. The one article that I posted which gave me a decent payout, well more than the quarter I had previously received was an interesting lesson on the system for me.
I posted it, watched closely for a while. No action at all. Then about 2 hours later, I rewrote the first sentence. Bang.. within minutes... I had some serious upvoting. My reputation jumped from 38 to 50 so the amount of upvoting must have made a difference.
