See [this overview on Examiner.com](http://www.writersweekly.com/the_latest_from_angelahoycom/005351_05062009.html), and [individual user experiences](http://www.writersweekly.com/the_latest_from_angelahoycom/005364_05132009.html). It's a pay-per-click site - it's not going to earn you fame, fortune, or even a respectable line for your CV. If you want to write such content anyway, then the platform and pocket money might be nice; if you think you can leverage or promote your writing into some sort of success elsewhere, I suppose that's about as feasible as doing so on Blogger.
