Great question. eHow staff claim that the DS revenue share model is the same, or similar or just as good as (take your pick, they offered all three answers). These same people also claimed that there were no planned changes to the WCP.

The removal of writers ability to edit Revenue Share articles is going to hurt the earning potential. In contrast a site like Squidoo encourages regular editing and improvement.

So how are earnings going to be effected by Demand Studios taking over the editing? .-= Katrina Oakley´s last blog ..Chileense Disney introduceert heet konijn =-.

You nailed it – amazing how we are all reaching the same conclusion. eHow is using Ads for sister sites to drain our traffic and we are feeling the pinch.

Thank you for a well-written article. It supports what I wrote last month in my blog http://glorybug-thebigpicture.blogspot.com/2010/02/ehow-earnings-and-algorithyms.html
about how it appears that eHow might be cannibalizing eHow articles with its ad strategies.

Ya it’s not just home and garden. They are advertising LiveStrong on some categories too. Before it was big Trails.com ads. Different distractions, same effect. I like Xomba because there are fewer distractions. Just your content wrapped around your (50% of the time) adsense ads, a bunch of your other articles to tempt the reader, and some closely related content to help readers wander around on Xomba some more. All content there belongs to writers like us, no competing Xomba owned content like eHow keeps throwing up.

Extremely interesting article. I, too, think that the more we know about eHow, the more we can benefit. I have seen a drop of about 33% in my earnings in the last three months (no home and garden articles). I have both of my adult children writing on here. One has stayed the same and one has dropped. Thanks for your insight!

Interesting analysis! I don’ t have many home and garden articles so I wasn’t aware of how earnings have been affected in that category. Makes sense though. I think it’s still worth writing at eHow but the more aware we are of how the site is working, the better our time can be spent. Thanks!
