Cannot submit articles previously on eHow

Post by jenjeant »

Hi all,

I previously had a few user-submitted articles on eHow and I rejected their offer when they asked to buy them before they removed all user-submitted content on this site. I waited a few weeks and verified that my titles are no longer showing up on eHow, which is where they were all previously published. When I submitted my content to Constant Content, I got this notice:
This article, and other current submissions, appear published elsewhere under a byline that we cannot verify is you. Because we cannot determine originality in the case of these articles, we cannot consider them. Please read our writer FAQ for more information.

If you continue to submit articles that are published elsewhere and that we cannot clearly determine belong to you, we will be unable to consider any more of your submissions.
I used a pseudonym on my eHow byline, but I am definitely submitting my copyrighted, unique content that I still own. Further, I can no longer log in to eHow to change my byline to match the one I use with Constant Content. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for your help.

No there is no way around this problem unless you change your CC name to match ehow. A couple other problems you will face:

1. the ehow format is really specific and not really a good fit here.
2. ehow articles are often stolen and posted elsewhere. You are never going to match bylines on a stolen article
