@traveler, if you give me more details of the problem you are facing (i.e. WHAT error message,) I am sure I can fix it.

Someone was asking about referrals, they need to be active which it is stated (somewhere) they need to make 30 posts.

Yes, the amount you earn depends on word count, it means we can accept very short posts, average length posts will be around 3 cents, long posts 4-5 cents, really, this is pretty good.

ALSO there are two contests running NOW, both with cash and other prizes - take a look
