Help with requested content

I've been looking at the requested content and need to know how I can tell if someone still needs articles. Some of the requests are over two months old and there have been many authors who have already written for them. Can anyone enlighten me? I'd hate to bother the requester if they already have enough articles. Thanks

I'd love to know that too. I posted one of my articles to a request a couple days ago, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I wonder how often the requesters check their listings.

The response time varies - I've had customers respond immediately, after a few days, or never respond.

That's an annoying answer I know!

The requests that have been sitting out often continue to buy on a semi-regular basis. If it the request is open, post your article. The customer will ignore it if he isn't interested, email CC to pull the request, or buy it!

Good luck!

Seems like a lot of work if they aren't interested. Is it proper to ask them through the QA if they are still interested before you spend the time to write?

Sure, you can ask.

Just ask.. no response = not interested
