3 opinions for Scam Warnings for Freelance Writers

I read her article, but I can’t say I agree with it all. She says that getting paid per page view is a scam. In that case, she would be including a lot of sites like this one and About.com. She also links to articles about Suite101.com that seem pretty old. Not that stuff didn’t happen over there, but Oct. 2005 when it’s now March 2006?

Is this a scam or a real work from home job?

Amy, your name points to a service that charges to hook people up to write seo articles — there’s plenty of seo work out there without paying for it.
