responding to today's hot topics pay you more?

I dont think you would get paid any more. I think they have that just so you can see what everybody else is doing. The only way to get paid more (to the best of my knowledge) is to get a high rating. I wish they would tell more about their rating system????? yay? double exclamation points???

I dont think so as you might not get paid even a single penny for that becasue mylot have very strange algorithm to calculate earnings.

Initially I thought it paid more, too. So, I tried it for a couple days, and it didn't really pan out. Currently, I'm just responding to friends discussions and keeping my own topics alive. That gets me a nice amount of money on My Lot daily. I do very well, income wise, posting 30 to 40 quality topics daily. Maybe it could work for you?

I have no idea how they calculate things. It's definitly a scientific thing. Maybe it even changes daily. LOL! I like to respond to the discussions with no responses, I just think it's fun to be the first to answer. I'm not sure if that gets anymore either-- but I like doing it. I wish I could get to 500 posts here so that I could copy! I hate having to type URLs in when i want to share a site.
