Yahoo Voices CLOSES its Doors Forever!

Advertise on BHW
I had 16 articles waiting to be reviewed, all high quality articles.
 
People think they are so powerful. Yahoo closed lots of products, including Yahoo Voices. They had revenues of billions since years.

Does anyone know of any site that is even remotely similar? I mean a site that will publish things on any topics. Quality is not an issue. I never posted spun crap, it was all hand written.

Back when the asap1 thread was public, either someone posted this one or I had dug it up... A lot of them are gone or changed but there might still be some in there that could be used in some fashion.

Always sad to see people shit where they eat.

I remember sharing one method to a very, very close group that enabled all of us to make $400-$600+ a day easily, greed got a hold and in a few days we lost it all.

Still pissed about that...

and that is why the really good methods are never shared! it's amazing how stupid and greedy many people are. they go for the quick cash and never think long term profit.

i once worked at a drop-off center that processed the returned and overstocked merchandise from several large retail outlets. many stores threw out perfectly good items that were too expensive to return to the wholesalers, and all you had to do was pick up anything that was left at the end of the day.

well some idiots got the "bright" idea to return the discarded items to the stores for a refund while claiming they "lost" the receipt.

when the books didn't balance at the end of the year the stores' accountants realized they were being swindled. so they started smashing up the goods before they threw them out.

everybody lost! :mad2:
 
Quite sad considering it was a great source of income for me, oh well time to begin a search for another that pays upfront :O

You don't need to tell me that again ;) We learn from mistakes, sadly some of them happen to be quite costly...

and that is why i refuse to have business partners. it's better to be selfish and rich than selfless and poor.

This is why I stick to high quality. You loser spinners and Engrish writttters aren't even my competition.
 
Anyone received their final payments yet? My articles that were published on the 2nd haven't even posted a "Pay Date" and that usually happens by now, on a Friday.

Well it seems I must have published the articles a couple of hours too late then. Just saw this in the YCN help forum.

Posts: 12845 Joined: 1/20/2007 Hey all, I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday. So I had to make sure you knew. Staff, including myself, is off today and tomorrow (July 3rd and 4th) for the Independence Day holiday.
This means ifanyonone has any pending article payments, they'll go out Monday.

So... monday it is then.
 
As part of our ongoing effort to sharpen our focus

Was trying to figure out what Yahoo had in store. Slashgear had a good article...perhaps it is time to refocus some attention to tumblr?

Oh come on. It has nothing to do with blackhatters flooding Yahoo Voices. Before, when Yahoo Voices was Associated Content, there were many people uploading articles that were garbage. That didn't stop Yahoo from paying for AC.

What probably happened was all the Google updates finally took its toll on that site and others like it. Not to mention, Yahoo took all of Google Adsense ads off their site and replaced them with other ads (which probably pushed down earnings even lower). Yahoo Voices isn't the only pay per view/upfront payment site closing its doors. There were many that have closed or are in the process of closing. Gone are the days of so called citizen journalists. From what I understand, Yahoo is hiring big name professional journalists to help them play the Google Game.

Bottomline is Yahoo thought they brought a money train, which they did. Until Google changed the game on them. Writers could have continued to write garbage and Yahoo would have continue to pay for them, if Google would have continued to allow Yahoo Voices links be at the top of search.

^^ Completely agree with the above paragraph, spot on!^^ The only question now ishow do we move on to pastures new and greener?
 
Those who were writing content all by themselves i mean not a spun article shouldnt worry. Who knows yahoo might hire you.Further this is not the end of the world guys there will be alternatives.Thanks
