Once you get the hang of writing for the web (chosing good topics that attract viewers, keywording, etc.) you'll see a big increase in page views. It was taking me two months to get the $15 I needed to get my bonus until July, then I barely made it. It was only last month that I really started to take off with page views. I attribute it to picking good topics as well as promoting a lot. Use those social bookmarking sites, and post your articles in discussion groups, in blogs, on Yahoo answers, etc. You also only have a few articles up, which means less oppertunity to attract page views than for someone who has many more. As you get more articles up you'll get more page views. Some articles will be on fire; some will seem to flop. I've been with AC since January, so it's taken me 9 months to get to where I am...and my PVs don't even compare to the top performers on AC. I'm only a clout 8 right now, which seems high to a newcomer to AC but really isnt when you look at how many PVs you need to reach each clout level. It'll take you time, depending on how long it takes you to get the hang of web writing, how quickly you produce articles, and how much bookmarking you do. Just focus right now on learning to pick good topics with keywords and producing content, maybe some light promoting--then get into more heavy promoting when you have a bit of an archive of articles built up. And stay active on the site! Most of my comments are from other CPs.
And to answer the question, it has taken me up to about 2 weeks to receive offers. One week is nothing!
