Just picked up 5 links
« on: June 12, 2010, 11:51:19 AM »
I was surprised to see these links available when I stopped by the C4L to check. It's the first time since opening day that I have been able to get any. I didn't receive an email that they were available. Nice surprise, just wanted to share.   :)

 :) me to. Possibly the email notifications are down following the hacking??

However, I seem to remember that the advertiser funds used to show a balance, it doesn't now. Has this function changed or am I getting something wrong again?? :-[

the advertiser funds balance is your balance now, not all advertiser funds balance, I believe.  That changed quite a while ago, before the hacking.

I'm thinking there may be a problem with the links that are showing up now.

The links that were showing this morning when I signed in are
'ALL DUPLICATES OF LINKS I RECEIVED WHEN C4L FIRST STARTED'.

I mean exact duplicates 'All Jon's programs, All Jon's links, All worded identical'.
They all were written by me, submitted for payment, and I was paid for them June 1st.
Exact same links, exact same keywords. 
IE: instantarticlewizardpro.com/article writing software
Assigned 5-13-10      Then again today Assigned 6-12-10

Am I the only one this has happened to?

Also if I'm not the only one this has happened to, does anyone wonder if this
may be something associated with the recent hacking of all of Jon's sites...

It is possible that these links are an error, because of a software screw-up,
meant to cause Jon another problem.

I'm tending to agree with you. I keep getting more of the same links in groups of 4 to 5. I've been posting them and my account balance keeps going up. If this is a screw up... well, those links will remain "out there". I can just resubmit the URLs when I capture them again later. I'm just not sure what's going on because even before the hack attack the links would come up similiar or exactly the same.  ::)

Tradeview,

You may be right about just resubmitting the URLs when we are assigned
them again, but if we do that and the software shows to pay us again for
an article that we have been paid for, that won't be fair to Jon.

That is if it is a screw-up - The main reason I think it could be a screwup is
that that the words in the captions are exact.  

If they were different it would make since for Jon to pay us to write another
article for the same product.
But, since they are the same, he would be paying us double, by paying for
what he has already paid for
.  Cause as you said we could just submit the
same thing we already submitted..


In that case, what would you do?  What do you think Jon will do?  

I really don't feel we should take advantage of Jon, so I am going to accept
any articles I can get assigned, but not write or submit them for payment
until I get a reply from askjon help support..

Even i guess there can be same keywords again with same URLs.

However, everything will be cleared when jon comes back from his vacation.

Yes Sdrkee, I have no doubt it will be cleared up when Jon returns,
but there are may be quite a few writers for C4L that may not
like his answer's!!!

Reason for thinking this is that if Jon did not in fact choose to pay
to have these articles written twice, they will probably be
removed from the list of each writers assigned articles..

I hope the writers that are real excited (I was excited too, till I got
to thinking about it)
about the getting the links (again) are not too
disappointed with what Jon decides.

We have no way of knowing what Jon's C4L budget for June articles is,
just seriously doubt if it included paying again for what he paid us
to do last month.

Though i got some good amount of links unexpectedly. I am well prepared for jon's answer if it is about to remove these articles.

And i think since we have started this thread before and discussed all possibilities, everyone here have an idea about this.

Sdrkee,  You are absolutely right about the links unexpected (I did not
get very many, but got a few)
, I also am prepared should Jon need to
remove these assigned links..

Hope not, but who knows what all could have happened to his sites
when he was hacked??

It is a little strange though if it was caused by the hackers why did
they not get all of the C4L writers email addresses and send us
notifications that links were available, you know if they could hack
into C4L they also hack the email addresses.
What is your thought about that?

Well, I got links that weren't to Jon's sites specifically, so I am not sure your worries are valid.  It could be that there has been implemented a "drip" system for links, only getting 5 so at to not allow for one or two people to "scoop up" all the links.
I, too, await the support tickets response, they are open Mon to Fri.

thanks for clarifying leona........... obviously missed that one, but suspected that may be the case.

Just read some more of this thread and yes, I have managed to 'scoop up' quite a few (although not all I suspect!). The thought has crossed my mind that something may be amiss, so if the account credit suddenly goes down, I'll know why!

One other link than Jons did come up in the same way, but not sure about that one as clicking on the link caused my browser to block the site with a phishing warning. I've posted about this under a new heading and awaiting someone telling me I'm being over cautious - but I don't want surfers to get their computers hacked because of an article of mine! Would rather take it down once I know and lose the $5.

PS finally the sun has come out in the UK, the sea is sparkling and I'm off with my bucket and spade!
