Melinda's Wahm Blog

If you are currently a contributor over at Ehow, you know that they have been seriously cleaning up the site lately. I was waiting for my turn and it finally happened yesterday. I logged in to find that I was 22 articles short of what I had the day earlier. So I went from 212 back down to 190. Boo!

It’s a little frustrating but I can understand why they’re doing it. They state on their site that they want actionable steps and many “How-to’s” on the site are in list form and that isn’t how they want their content written. It’s kind of a blessing in disguise for me because most of my deleted ones did have some earnings, but they weren’t anywhere near any of my big earners and now I can publish them elsewhere to make money. I’m thinking Bukisa. My earnings have been increasing there lately. I might add some to InfoBarrel too. Maybe I’ll put half on Bukisa and half on InfoBarrel and see what happens.

If you have had articles deleted and aren’t sure which ones they were, here is how I figured it out:

• I went into my earnings for March and printed off the entire list
• Then I went into my article list and compared the printed list to the articles currently published
• I wrote down all of the titles that were on the earnings list, but not currently published (those are the deleted ones obviously)
• I put each title in quotes into google, found the article and clicked on “cached” text link to see the article in its entirety (if you click the article’s title that has been deleted it will just link to a different page within Ehow)

I’m sure by now there are Ehow articles about how to do this as well.

It is frustrating, but if you’re saving copies of your articles (which you should be doing anyway) at least you can now publish them elsewhere and still earn some money with them.
