What Do You Want to Ask the Reputable Content Sites?

Enough of the eHow UK scam already. Every time I think it can’t get any worse, any scammier, any dirtier, it does.
One more scam came to light tonight, and if you don’t know enough to run as fast and far from eHow as you can by now, there’s no hope for you.
Either that, or you’ve [...]

Let’s Talk About Options for Content Writers

Okay, now that we all know where NOT to write to make money, now what? Disillusioned writers ask me that every day, at least those who just realized that earning passive income can be a sneaky little oxymoron.
I’ve seen comments suggesting that writers who don’t like some of the more unsavory content sites go find [...]

How to Build Residual Income with HubPages

Many people want to know whether HubPages links are do-follow or no-follow. The answer is that they can be either; it just depends on your status within the HubPages community. If you keep your HubScore (the score attached to your profile, not to individual hubs) above 74, your links will be do-followed. Your links will automatically be no-followed if your score falls below that.

How to Be Notified When a Content Site’s Terms of Service Change

Did you know that many content aggregator sites stipulate in their terms of service (or terms of use) that they can change their contract with you any time, arbitrarily, and at their discretion? Yep. Do you join content sites to write online for residual or up-front pay without worrying about the fine print?

Do you plan to donate your work to those sites? If so, skip this post. And be my sugar daddy/momma.

Why I Care About What Happens on eHow

It seems some people are questioning the motives of those who are trying to get answers from eHow. So I will tell you why I care, and why I do it.

I used to personally recommend the Great eHow Opportunity to friends and family. But now I can’t back up that recommendation, and it bothers me.

4 Predictions for the Future of User-Generated Content Sites

3. This is a biggie. Search engines will begin ranking individual writers, rather than entire sites. I am pretty sure that Google already knows whether user ID “Herbs4U” on “XYZ Content Site” writes lame articles with spammy affiliate links, or whether they write timely, relevant alternative medicine articles…

SEO tips for content optimization: Do comments affect your articles’ SEO?

UPDATE: eHow comments are now indexed separately from your articles. So now the content that affects your article’s SEO the most on eHow (besides your article) is the Related Articles section and the titles of your last five articles, which are included with every article you write. This is a good reason to create separate IDs for each of your niches and choose related articles based on title keywords. Remember, you can’t go back and edit these on eHow after you save your draft or publish.

The eHow Clone Wars

Ah, the eHow UK clone issue still won’t go away. Well, actually it would, and quickly, too, if eHow would answer one simple question:

Do they pay writers for profits generated by eHow writers’ US articles cloned on the eHow UK site or not?

For a single, breath-holding moment yesterday, it appeared that eHow Community Manager, Rich Noguchi, had finally answered the question posed by members on eHow forums after five weeks of waiting for a response.
