Remember Pat started an experiment trying to rank on top places for a specific google search.
He succeeded within one week making place #1.
He started with a blog post where he put the key phrase, in the title, the URL, the meta description and the first sentence of the post. He made the keywords bold everywhere in the content of the post. He embedded a YouTube video with the same title, using the same key phrase as anchor text and an image with the same title.
The tweeted and linked the post on Facebook (using the same key phrase).
He added bookmarks on Digg, StumbleUpon, and Delicious (again using the same key phrase in title and description) and used a browser plugin (SocialMarker) for a number of other bookmarking sites. (He also used those bookmarks for the YouTube video).
He submitted the video to five other video websites (again including back links and keywords).
He added additional articles (with new content) on eHow, eZineArticles, GoArticles, ArticleAlley, Squidoo and Hubpages linking back to the original article in multiple ways.
... and became #1 ...

Smart Passive Income #13 to #15 - eHow - The Expermient Continues
This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at.
Its day 6 of Pats eHow experiment writing five articles a day for a year.
He starts calculating of how much he will earn using the numbers of fellow writers. Assuming he has more than 1500 articles after a year, knowing somebody with 250 articles makes about 1000 USD a month ... he derives a number of about 40 000 USD a year ... which is not bad for a weekly work load of less than 14 hours ...
While the numbers are motivating, I would hesitate to use them for a business estimation ... I wonder that this is why Pat is rich, and we are not ;)
Instigated by a comment to this blog entry, Pat wonders that it might better to stop eHow experiment and write those article for his own blog. He might earn more money, but loose the security of an "convenient" environment.
He concludes that he will limit his eHow experiment to a single month, and will use his time and effort for a niche blog. ... and of course will post his findings ...

Smart Passive Income #10 & #11 - eHow, HubPages - The Experiment
This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at.
Pat's newest (well November 2008) experiment is to write articles for ehow. To be more specific
There are people with positive experience, and of course people with bad ones. By personal favorite, there is even a web page called demandstudiossucks.com which actually shows both, positives and negative aspects ... If you want to go that route, you need to decide for yourself.
... an alternative - I just stumbled upon while googling eHow - would/could be to post articles on hubpages. Compared to eHow you do not get payed up front on hubpages, you earn only part of the adds revenue. But you will stay the copyright owner of your article ...
How did Pad do? Of this five linked articles of his first day, only one is still online. On day four of his experiment he has already posted 31 articles, and earned 1.11 USD.
Spoiler alert: It seems he stopped his experiment after a month, but has seen a steadily increasing stream of income of currently (end of 2013) a couple of hundred USD ...
Pat's newest (well November 2008) experiment is to write articles for ehow. To be more specific
... to write at least 5 how-to articles a day for an entire year ...eHow is a collection of more than a million how-to articles in any category you imagine - powered by demand media studios. To be able to write, or copy edit, or even make movies for eHow, you need to apply (seems they became picky). Once accepted they offer various topics. You choose, write. An editor needs to approve your article ... you get paid (about 20 to 30 USD per article?). In addition you get a cut of the adds posted with your article. Meaning, if you article is successful you get more money.
