Pay By The Word

If a blogger uses quotes from an Associated Press news article, they are expected to pay. Here's where you go to submit your payment.

For example, let's say that I link to this article, and provide an excerpt:

Barack Obama's campaign envisions a path to the presidency that could include Virginia, Georgia and several Rocky Mountain states, but not necessarily the pair of battlegrounds that decided the last two elections - Florida and Ohio.

That's 35 words, and I owe $17.50.
