    This is hardly an article. It's very little more than an avenue to repeat variations of the phrase "publish articles online" to make search engines list it near the top of a search. This just cheats readers that are looking for actual content and information.

    I agree with your comment regarding eHow. I get more with them - even if I don't write an article that month - than any other site. DS is awesome!

    Well, different people do well at different sites. I make a very good monthly residual with eHow now that I've built up a good amount of articles.

    I thought e-How was a waste of time for what I got out of it - nothing!

  • 3lilangels4/15/2009

    Yeah, Triond looks good, but I think it's a waste of valuable writing time..

  • Melanie Marten4/14/2009

    Triond pays me every month, though not much. :)

    Interesting. I looked up Triond and eHow and a couple of sites says Triond is a scam.
