Writers wanted at Snipsly

I came across this site today and thought I'd pass it on since it looks like its quite active.

You earn through Adsense revenue. Some people don't like this format and would rather be paid straight out but one thing I noticed about Snipsly is that it's articles have relatively high page views which should turn in to a decent number of clicks on your ads so this site should be worth a go.

The site split ad revenue on a 20/80 basis.  You retain the copyright for all of your articles but they now have article screening installed to stop duplicate articles.

Rather than paying per review as some sites do or paying according to how many views you get, you get paid through Amazon affiliate sales which are linked to your page.

They also have a sister site,Blogger Party, and if you join with one then you'll be able to use the other.

Review Party will do the work and get viewers to your page for you so getting traffic to your page is something you don't need to worry about.
