  Up till last week my posts would link back to the full article on AC. Now none do. Help! Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m surprised staff allows that. They usually suspend blogs whose sole purpose is to drive traffic to an off-WP.com site, particularly a monetized one.

  @RC I looked at this earlier and was not really sure what to think – all his own articles but all the links for the whole article go off site – using his blog as an index for a newspaper.

  Well, the thing is, Associated Content pays their writers based on pageviews. I’ve seen this sort of blog before, but like I said, staff usually kills it. Sounds like they disabled it, then re-enabled it.

  Did not have a clue what Associated Content was,I learn something new every day! The recent links are some funny shortened URL thing and when I looked this morning, but the older articles had a full in the clear URL and they worked.

  Looks like I helped him get a bit more $$

  Thanks for the information.
