Since you’re the owner of WikiHook, you’ll excuse me for not believing that (a) your name is Steve (when I know it’s Silviu), (b) you have really posted articles that are earning $1 a day and (c) a site that’s so new or so small it doesn’t have any traffic stats on compete.com can generate that kind of income for a single piece of content. You’ll also have to excuse me for removing your URLs, since I don’t generate backlinks for dishonest people.

Next time you want to promote your site may I suggest you try being honest or at least pick a blog whose owner won’t call you out. And by the way, your site needs a T&C document or no one will sign up with you.

If you learn your lesson and decide to come clean, let me know. I’ll consider putting your URL back in your comment.

Great list and very useful. I start with hubpages and write some articles but nothing spectacular yet I use for promoting other sites of mine. Also I try a new site [URL to WikiHook removed] for two weeks and articles are indexed very well and I have an article that brings me near 1$ each day yuppy )
I will put all my efforts on this site next target 5$/day.

Thank ye, laddie – it works fine now. Mayhaps my ‘puter was just being naughty, but now I can absorb your words of wisdom without fear of denial.

And … it’s NOT a mess!

… it’s creatively disarrayed!

Hmm, that’s odd. It worked for me… but I’ve re-done it, just because! Nice to see you here, though you’ll find this place is mostly a bit of a mess…!

I hate to be the one to mention it, Spike, but I 404′d when I followed your link in this post.

Nice site, by the way – I’ll have to schedule some time away from my oh-so-busy schedule to investigate further …
