E-How No Longer Accepting User Generated Content? Panda Update Woes Continue
All e-how users received this email in their inbox today:
Hi _____,
…After much consideration, eHow has decided to close the WCP and remove user-generated articles from the site. We’re doing this because these articles were not vetted through our current editorial process, which includes professional fact checking and copy editing. Your article(s) will be taken down from eHow.com this month. If you are opted into the WCP you will receive final payment for earnings through May 5, 2011, during the regular monthly payment schedule in early June. Even though your articles will no longer appear on eHow.com, you retain all ownership of your articles for use on other websites…
Kind Regards, eHow Team
For anyone who is currently using e-how to post their unique content in order to drive targeted traffic towards their website, they’ll find that all of that sweet link juice will be gone soon. Ehow was recently hit hard by Google’s panda update and it seems that they want to cut their losses short by getting rid of all user generated content in an attempt to boost themselves back up.
