@Murlu – I was transferred over to the new account and had one article published and two rejected and they shut down my account. I asked them multiple times to reconsider but they kept telling me no. Oh well I guess.

I really want to start writing for eHow but I have a current project to write on a few other websites – so far it’s paying off.

What’s funny is that now eHow is Demand Studios on the backend, I actually got denied because of my writing – that was months and months ago – I guess it made sense then but today I think I’m so much better, I’ll have to apply again

“eHow Goes Under – While their are no current signs that would suggest eHow going under or shutting down, the risk is still there. Who knows, 5 or 10 years from now things could be a lot different. Just remember that by using a site like eHow, you have given up some control compared to launching your own site(s).”

I am a HUGE proponent of diversifying online revenue streams….there are some very major things, however, that eHow needs to correct ASAP if it wants to remain a formidable leader in the article submission/revenue sharing game…..the truth is, there are a few up and coming websites that, are spearhead by determined young entrepreneur, who’s service offerings, and overall business models, will offer eHow a run for their money….

Keep an eye out for Info Barrel.

@Writing for money – It was my understanding that there were several factors taken into account when identifying which posts to purge. I believe as a general rule of thumb, articles that appear to be spammy or are written not conforming to the “How To” format were potentially purged.

@Rich – Thanks for stopping by the site. I understand writers frustration with the purging of articles, but overall I think it makes eHow a much better site with a good reputation. That makes me want to keep using this great tool to build passive income, even though I lost a few articles myself.
