@swalia If you notice in your points history, the word “Link” appears next to the entry for each post. If you click this word, it will open the post for you. This way you can see which post earned what amount 🙂

As for shorter or longer posts, while many people say they prefer short posts the longer ones are preferred for SEO purposes. I think that in a lot of cases, the reasons people dislike longer posts is that they consist of long blocks of text with little whitespace or other features to add visual interest and give the eyes a rest.

Adding numbered or bulleted lists helps a great deal, as does writing shorter paragraphs and using more sub-headings. Additional images, videos, or even embedded previews of news articles can also help break up the visual monotony.

Unfortunately, it seems that on LB any embedded content (e.g. videos, article previews) gets placed at the bottom of the post instead of wherever it was placed in the body of the post. This is really too bad, because it makes these items look like afterthoughts. The embedded links appear where placed in the forum comments; I wonder if @support knows why this isn’t the case with posts?

It seems there are many problems here. The site admin must take action on this matter.

It will be better no image inclusion at all.

I am not sure what the criteria is all about since my posts on “how to” did not get me that much and the word counts were high. For the last, “how to” I did was only $0.15 and the post I did on the colors in my name got me $0.18 and it was over 500 words. I guess it is better than nothing. I need to try something else to see what it gets me. I have been getting lots of visitors though and have nearly 1250 total for the month. I need to hurry up and get to the minimum so I can cash out before the 10th.

@Kyla Matton Osborne (Ruby3881)  Thanks for helping out! I agree with you that longer posts can be made interesting by using proper sub-titles, bullet points etc. to break the monotony but very few writers take the trouble to do that.
