How often do you check submissions?
The frequency that we review articles is determined by the submitting author’s reputation with us. Authors that have done well at bringing in traffic to his/her articles recieve priority over the new authors and authors that do not fair well in this category.
There is no timeline that we follow, we basically review them whenever we can find the time, but you can rest assured that all submissions will be reviewed within 7 days of your submission/re-submission. All of the people we have reviewing the articles have day jobs, so please be patient.
If you get anything from this, if you want to get your articles reviewed faster, bring traffic to the articles that you have already submitted.

Why does my AP go down after my article gets published?
Your Author Priority is proportional to the amount of visitors you get per article. So if you have 5 articles that brought in a combined amount of 5000 visitors. Then you would be averaging 1000 visitors per article. Once another article gets published that has yet to get any visitors you will have 6 articles with 5000 visitors. Then you will be averaging about 833 visitors per article. Your average drops every article that gets published, as does your AP rating.

What does the "Feature This Article Now!" button do?
This button is shown on every article that is not being featured on the Informative Post's home page. This button allows you to put the article on the very top of the Informative Post's home page. Doing this will increase the traffic to the article greatly, thus generating you more revenue from the traffic that article gets, as well as increasing your Author Priority Rating. When your article is being featured, all visitors to the article are DOUBLED!
To feature your article, you will simply go to the article you wish to feature and click the button. You will then be brought to a PayPal screen from which you pay a small fee. Once you paid the small fee, our people will review the payment, make sure it is legite, and then feature your article, and you

Who obtains the rights of the articles?
The author holds the rights of the article until the article is published on the site. So if the author would like for his or her article to be deleted from the Informative Post site before it has been reviewed and published, we are obligated to delete the article. However, when the article is published, the author also gives the rights to the Informative Post.
We have no problem with Author's submitting the article to other directories once the article is published here as long as there is a direct link and reference to the original copy on the Informative Post website.
