eHow

I put together this eHow page to parade my eHow articles.  Backlinks, which are links from a web site to your own web site, improve your rank in search engines.  This page allowed me to create some easy backlinks to my articles.

I also wanted to note the earnings of each of my articles here, so that you can see what makes money and what doesn’t.  I’m going to keep track of these earnings and try to notice trends over time.  Hopefully this will give me important clues about how to maximize my earnings in the future.

Following is the list of all my eHow articles, ordered by cumulative earnings.  Notice that most of my money was made from only a few articles.  For example, I thoroughly researched the best keywords before writing How to Replace Thermostat, and it clearly paid off.  I did not do any keyword research for How to Write a College-Level Research Paper, but apparently it’s a hot topic.  I may try to write a few more articles revolving around that topic.

(Note: I will update this list once per month with new articles and earnings information.)
