I am right behind you and can't wait. Sometimes I feel torn between focusing on my niche sites vs. writing more eHow articles. I'm working to build up my niche sites but eHow has such great PR and traffic it's tempting to just right for them. I just don't want all my eggs in one basket, you know what I mean?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950629596068215063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743303818170928342.post-77796188935588708362010-02-25T11:01:59.281-05:002010-02-25T11:01:59.281-05:00Maria, if you told me it was that simple two years...Maria, if you told me it was that simple two years ago I would have laughed at you. But you are a excellent teacher. If it was not for your teachings I would have gave up long ago. As you have mentioned above, the higher earning articles are articles that are written from know how, not research. After that it just takes time. I have never really built back links for my articles I have always written them and let others link to me. I found a tool yesterday online that allowed me to see all my back links to each article. I thought it was cool how I did not have to do any of the work. One article showed over 60 back links. How cool is that. And yes that it was on of my $2000+ articles. At the time the article was written, (over two years ago) I had no clue what SEO even was.Amy Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649544612188408235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743303818170928342.post-35607616041036845222010-02-17T23:34:57.617-05:002010-02-17T23:34:57.617-05:00Congrats on your success.

Congrats! I probably should have made my cake tutorial for eHow rather than posting it on blogger... not sure. It's a free tutorial given the character being created is licensed, but wonder if it would have qualified for eHow? I'll have to look into this for the next time I throw something together. :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840772283713848191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743303818170928342.post-5384512837860082822010-02-13T22:58:48.269-05:002010-02-13T22:58:48.269-05:00Do you still write there - the whole unavailable i...Do you still write there - the whole unavailable issue is driving me crazy.Char Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909284518634323523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743303818170928342.post-15862662854880476892010-02-08T22:38:59.949-05:002010-02-08T22:38:59.949-05:00I am inspired by your success and your willingness...I am inspired by your success and your willingness to keep at it until it happens.

Kudos to you...Helpful and inspiring post as always. Kudos to your past and ongoing success. One interesting thing that was encouraging to me was to note that these are two year old articles. I have only been at it a year on eHow so none of mine are that large. I started reading thinking 'Why don't my articles earn this much?!" But your top articles are earning $40-$75 a month. Now that's a target I think I can hit. I have one $40 a month article (woo hoo) and I am trying to use your system to add to it. Several other $20 a month articles may be heading that way, so time to get back to some promotion.
