Several eHow members including Alrady noticed that new (ie Feb 2010) articles are still going up on the eHow UK site but without redirects. For example – here is my latest article How to Get to Sanibel Island – UK version. As of this blog post it does not redirect to the ehow.com I know no way of figuring out if the lack of redirect is impacting the ability of the article to earn but it can’t be helping.
Also, redirects on some/most articles does not equal article removal. Many ehow writers are looking for this issue to be solved and promptly.
Smith57 summed it up well:
Here are my minutes:
1. Our articles are all still in the UK site, only being redirected.
2. Newer articles are not even being redirected – the fix is broken or ehow changed direction?
3. Posh and Alrady are NOT going crazy.
Anyone feel free to add more to the Minutes

Thanks to Rich N. (Community Manager) I’ve got the latest. There is a bug affecting some articles, not all articles. People are working on it now and it is THE priority. I apologize for the headaches. GB, Rich, myself, others will make it right. I feel your more than fair frustrations.

Thanks for the update. My earnings are worse now than in January.
This really concerns me, as I’m getting ready to hire a writer and inject new articles into eHow.
What a disaster!
