eHow Article Experiment – Two Weeks Later
I started a little eHow experiment on March 7th. My goal was to pull two articles from the brink of extinction and move them into the land of the ‘earners’.
I spent about 20 minutes tweaking each article. I changed the keywords, added a few pictures and submitted them to a couple of bookmarking sites.
The results! NOTHING! Terrible, horrible, simply pathetic.
Article #1 – Increased page views from 211 to 244. Earnings still at zero!
Article #2 – Increased page views from 139 to 170. Earnings still at zero!
These articles are killing me. I just cannot figure them out. The keyword volume is decent and pays a few dollars a click. While they will never win a writing award, they are manageable and are 90% better than most of the crap people are producing. I know how to write, and my eHow earnings are increasing each month.
I just cannot figure out why these articles suck so much.
Do you have any articles that simply do not earn money? What did you do about it?
