They are not the only site

They are not the only site that wants to profit without properly compensating writers. It's unfortunate.

One of the most mysterious

One of the most mysterious things about eHow, like this article mentions, is their algorithm for deciding who gets paid what. Not complaining - I make a lot of money on eHow every month - but it is sort of frustrating to know how much YOU make off an article without any idea as to what THEY are making.
