I just started with Associated Content in 2007, at the end of March. I have written over 250 articles since then, and I have to say I've really enjoyed writing them. Writing has always been an interest of mine, and one that was left somewhat unpursued for many years. This venue has given me the chance to get out my thoughts and make a little cash in the process!

My articles are pretty diverse, as I don't just write on one or two subject areas. I try to write straight forward, factual information for product and restaurant reviews. There you just get the scoop. However, then you go to the other side of the gamut with my controversial opinion/editorial articles. In between are the top ten lists of music and travel. Hopefully, everyone's found at least some of them interesting to them!

I must admit that I am trying very hard to reach Clout Level 10, and to have over one millon page views. I'm over a tenth of the way there, but a long way to go! I am trying to accomplish one million page views and 500 articles by my one year point on March 27th of 2008. That's alot of articles! I have over 250 published articles as of now, in mid-December of 2007.

With my competitive nature that I try to downplay, I am a little jealous of the content producers who started back in 2005 and now have millions of page views. I know that I would literally have to eat, breathe and sleep article writing to ever catch up with these wonderful individuals. My hats off to everyone that has over a thousand articles and a million page views!

Anyway, I went through my articles and came up with the Top Ten. I hope you like them! Let me know if there are ones I missed...

Here are my Top Ten Articles on Associated Content for 2007(in chronological order with the most recent first):

You definitely have some titles I am interested in reading. Catching up on 250 articles is impossible dream for me right now. Like you, I have been thinking of my favorite (by me) AC articles. The People's Media Awards has also gotten me to think which AC articles I felt were the best. Of course, the awards are not about quality. So much excellence on AC hard to choose one over another.

Wow! 250 articles since March. I wrote as many myself but deleted most of them. My AC enthusiasm wanned with rejections. "We do not pay for book reviews unless they are about consumer related product" was the reason for the 2nd book review rejection. Huh? I thought books were consumer related product. Editor never heard of Amazon dot com google adsense ads. Did not bother to submit the other reviews already written. Later I decided to publish book reviews sans pay, just because. It always makes me feel good when someone says "I want to buy it" or "read it".

What a great idea for an article! I have read all of these articles and enjoyed them all, my favourite was 'Wildlife in Your Backyard: Baby', this is more than likely because I am a soppy cow, lol, but if you are reading this and you haven't read this article believe me you should!
