I haven’t had many articles that didn’t make money; the ones that didn’t were specific to a holiday or certain time of year. Those were my first two articles, and I’ve thought about re-writing them to generalize them a bit more.

After that I decided to write more general articles about subjects I know most people are interested in health, spirituality, childhood disorders, culture, music, etc.

Thanks for dropping by Jillycakes. No one is looking for for the key words in your title – “rich spare change”. Also every word around spare change is at 5 cents per ad = no advertisers. The only similar word worth anything is “loose change” so replace every “spare” with “loose”.

There are several famous books that advocate what you are talking about though. Automatic Millionaire might be the biggest and here is another http://www.finishrich.com/lattefactor/

Try refocusing the article on a key phrase like Automatic Millionaire worth $1.17 with 18,100 monthly searches, or look for a better keyword. If you choose Automatic Millionaire get it into the Title, URL and intro 3 times.

The discussions about investments in the later steps are pulling decent value financial services ads. However there are too many steps. Consider making a second article on how to invest small amounts of money with that material and leave this one to how to save the money. You can link the two through the related articles.

Oh and check your keywords – Ehow thinks you are talking about how to change a spare tire! See how your choice of words is driving that?

Hope this works for you – we can all learn together.

I don’t see the new title in the search results yet but a search for “How to Use Hypnobirthing brings up various eHow articles first. You need to now build a few backlinks to outrank this DS writer article – should be easy as no one is trying to help that article out. http://www.ehow.com/how_2077776_use-hypnobirthing-childbirth.htmlXXX (to break the link)

Maybe comment on a few pregnancy blogs using a “Hypnobirth Fan” and your article url for your identity. Also consider writing a Xomba article on How to have a Hypnobirth and linking over to the eHow. That should put you on top of the search engines. Also add the article title one more time into the intro somewhere to drive home the point of what it is about.

I built you some links in this comment too. Hope it helps.

Pretty much all of mine stink, I think. I’ve only been on eHow for about 3 weeks. I think this one is way too long, which seems to be a recurring problem for me: http://www.ehow.com/how_6004537_rich-spare-change.html

3 of my 7 published articles on eHow are about manicures, but some of the related ads for this one are Chinese Massage, Manicures, and OPI pedicure….and I have no idea what keywords would have generated that.

Wow – I can’t get 30 readers in 2 months to an eHow article on Feng Shui but I can pull a blog comment with a mention of Feng Shui within 5 hours of the first time I ever use the words Feng Shui on Innovative Passive Income. Who said we always need eHow to help drive traffic?
