Wikinut Wikinut is fairly new, having been started only in 2009. As the name might suggest, there's a "wiki element" to it. Wikinut pages are moderated by users. (and yes, the payment structure is such that you get paid to moderate pages as well)

Triond
A site where you can publish your work and earn a passive income through page views generated by your articles. One of the better paying sites for passive income. Note: This was true in 2008, when I wrote the description for Triond. Things have changed since then, and while Triond is still one of the better paying sites, it now shares that postion with a few other sites. Here's a link to an article which gives more details.
Update as of August 2011: Triond's security certificate has expired since last month and communications with them convey the impression that they have no intention of renewing it. Triond has been going downhill for quite some time now, and I'm seriously considering taking them down from the list.

Squidoo
A site that lets you build your own web pages, called "lenses" on Squidoo and earn from them.

Hubpages
Another site that lets you build your own web pages and display your articles on them, letting you earn passive income.

Suite101
A site where you can publish your work and earn through page views. Requires writers to publish at least 10 articles every 3 months.

Shvoong
A site where you can publish your work and have them earn a passive income.

Redgage
A site where you can publish your work and have them earn a passive income.

A word of warning to non-US residents, Redgage pays via the Redgage Card, a debit card that they issue you when you get your first payment. They then transfer your earnings to you via your Redgage card. After the first transfer though, Redgage requires you to register on the giftcards site, which only US residents are entitled to. In other words, there's a cap on your earnings.

Helium
Has an active marketplace where publishers will request specific articles and frequent contests, both of which offer writers the opportunity to earn lump sum payments. Articles published will generate passive income. However, Helium does require a fair amount of commitment from you each month, requiring writers to maintain at least one rating star to be eligible to earn. Update: As of Dec 2010, Helium's upfront payments structure has changed.

Associated Content
Has contests every now and then, and specific article requests every now and then, so writers have a chance to earn lump sum payments. Also offers upfront payment for articles, but this is restricted to certain topics and only available to US citizens. Articles published will generate passive income.

Note: As of 1st of May 2010, Associated Content will cease to pay performance payments to non-US residents. Since non-US residents are not eligible for upfront payments, this effectively means that they will stop paying non-US residents (not sure about contests, but those aren't frequent anyway). They do offer a way for non-US residents to be eligible for performance payments for articles, but you do have to jump through a lot of hoops. More details here

Qondio
Qondio is an interesting site. While it does allow you to earn Adsense revenue on your articles, the focus on Qondio seems to be to let you build backlinks. Every piece of intel that you submit has a backlink to the site of your choice. Used to be called Qassia.

Note: Starting from 14th March 2009, Qondio charges users a one time fee of $5USD to sign up an account.

Gzyn
Site that lets writers place their work there and generate revenue using Google Adsense. Takes a 10% cut from your profits.

Bukisa
Another Google Adsense revenue sharing site.

Xomba
Xomba lets writers place their work there and generate revenue from Google Adsense. Adsense profits are split 50/50 between the site and writers. That doesn't sound very attractive, but Xomba makes up for that with frequent contests where writers stand to win cash prizes. In addition, Xomba articles can also be used to generate backlinks to your other blog/site/other articles.

Infobarrel
Launched in mid 2008, Infobarrel is a site where you can post your articles and earn 75% of your Adsense revenue. They also have an Ebay affililiate program.
