How is it determined how you get paid? Do you get paid more on a discussion that creates more responses than another? Do you get paid more on a discussion that contains alot of detail? Do get paid only on creating discussion? How about your responses? If you start a blog, do you get paid more money for that? Thanks in advance to anyone who might have more information on this.

You are paid here according to the QUALITY of your participation. There is no set amount 'per post'. Participation involves: 1) Responding to and commenting on discussions 2) Posting your own discussions but you are only paid when your discussion gets at least one response. You are not paid for other people's responses but you are paid for your comments on other people's responses to your discussions, so it's important to post discussions that engage people and encourage them to write good quality responses. Read the Guidelines to understand what does NOT qualify as a good discussion (and what will almost certainly be deleted). Avoid both creating and responding to such discussions. You will simply waste your time and lose both the earnings you might have made and any respect or social standing you may build up here.

With regard to blogs. MyLot is not a blogging site but it does have a section that links to people's blogs. Your blog needs to be already well established and only on the kind of subjects specified in the Blog Guidelines. It needs to be approved by MyLot before it is linked. As I understand it, the Blog feature is simply a service and one doesn't earn anything from MyLot because of it.
