How long will it take have my blog application reviewed?
It can take up to 72 hours to have your blog approved/declined. We will generally try to process Blogs as soon as they are received.

What do I do if my blog is rejected?
Once Blogcytes has sent you an email describing why your blog was not approved, you have a chance to fix these problems. Once the blog is fixed you can resubmit for another review via the contact us page. If the problem can not be fixed, (e.g. banned domain name) we will permanently reject your blog.

How many blogs can I have with Blogcytes?
Currently, you can have up to 2 blogs registered under your account at initial Stage and as you get higher ratings, you become eligible for adding more blogs. The more quality blogs you have, the more money you make! You can add blogs from your admin panel under the "my account" section.

How much can I get paid for blogging?
You can earn as much as you like. Earnings are directly related to the number of valid opinions you. Each post will bring you a minimum of US$5 and the Page rank of your blog along with a high Blogcytes Star Rating determines whether you receive higher paid ad campaigns, bringing you up to even $100 per post.

How does my page rank affect my income?
Blogcytes has a unique blogger ranking system. There are two factors affecting your income, firstly, if you have a higher Google Page Rank you will be offered higher paying campaigns as well as the lower paid campaigns. This will start at $5 and go up to around $50 for some campaigns. Secondly, Blogcytes calculates its own 5 star rating system, it's created by the accumulation of scores given by advertisers on a per post basis. For example, if you submitted ten posts and the advertisers gave you 5 stars for all of your posts then your average star rating will be 5.

Your rating starts at zero stars and it will take time to grow so be patient and write lots of good quality posts to get the best rating you can.

If you have a higher rating, you are more likely to receive more campaign offers and higher priced campaigns. You can earn up to even $100 per article on some occasions.

How long do I have to write a post after I have accepted it?
You need to complete and submit your post in your Blogcytes admin panel within 3 Days from you first accepting it.

How long does it take to have my post approved?
Advertisers have 5 full days to review your posts, they are then automatically approved after this time if not Rejected. Rejected posts are placed on hold for Blogcytes staff to review and make a final decision.

What happens if my post is declined or sent back to me for changes?
If your post is declined then you will lose that task and will not be paid for it. If the post is sent back asking for changes, you have 24 hours to fix it and submit the post again in your admin panel.

When will I get paid?
For the paid posts, bloggers generally get paid on a monthly basis. However, Blogcytes do not have a set payment day. The reason for this is because we pay via PayPal mass pay. The transfer of tens of thousands of dollars through PayPal can sometimes vary in time. As soon as your post has been approved, which takes no more than a week, we try to pay for that blog article on the first payment day of that month. Please do not contact us if you are not paid, the money is in transfer and you will be paid for your pending earnings.

How do I get paid?
You will be paid through PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account, please open one as it is the only method of payment. Opening a PayPal account is completely free and takes 5 minutes.

My PayPal account has changed or was unverified, how will I receive payments you've already sent?
Ideally you should wait until your payments have been received in full before changing your account. This means you have accepted the payment in your PayPal admin.

If you have changed your PayPal account without accepting the payment we have sent, it takes 30 days for the payment to be released again by PayPal for us to send to a new account (otherwise you will receive the payment from two accounts)

If you have an unverified account and we have sent your payment, it will note this is your Blogcytes admin payment history. You must login to PayPal and verify your account, then accept the payment.

If you have deleted your PayPal account and your Blogcytes account after a payment has been sent, then we have no way of paying you, please be careful before doing this!

Which countries can apply?
As long as you have a PayPal account you can apply from any country.

What do the 5 stars showing next to my profile picture in my admin mean?
The 5 star rating is an accumulation of scores given by advertisers on a per post basis. For example, if you submitted ten posts and the advertisers gave you 5 stars for all of your posts then your average star rating will be 5.
Your ratings start at zero stars and it will take time to grow so be patient and write lots of good quality posts to get the best rating you can. This will get you more posts!
