Global Content and Associated content

Do you know the grandparents of the modern blogging?Their names are Global Content and Associated Contents. I am not sure if they are still online. Theese sites paid for articles. You write an original article and they must approve it. Later they put a short review and everybody pays to use it. There is a small fee if somebody just downloads the article for private use and a possibility to resell /partially 0r completely/ for much more money the copyrights of the material. Mmm, it makes you almost to feel like pro-writer...BUT! The sad fact is that they have a limited access to the international members and almost NEVER approve you if you are not from USA. It doesnt matter what are you writting about and if your material is good, interesting and etc. If you are not from the privileged country- just forget. The trick is that they never claim it officially. All are wellcomed, but not all are wellcomed...did you understand me? I know, you did.
We shall discuss about it later too.
