Don't forget Google needs content publishers for Adsense. Surely that is the only reason brain liquifying content mills like ehow don't get the slap down? This junk is ridiculous (and this was one of the first pages I looked at):

How to Plan a Happy Blended Family How to Harmony in Your New Blended Family How to have harmony in your new Blended Family How to Achieve Harmony in a Blended Family How to Nurture A Blended Family How to Successfully Manage a Blended Family

WTF is this junk? Why does ehow.com get 3 million Google visitors a day? The mind boggles!

Great question, though ehow is created by user submission and paid article writers not an individual scraping other users content, publishing it, and not linking back IE $100 plagiarism. I do agree though that eHow is PURE junk and nothing but a site to generate ad revenue. I am not sure if they offer users who submit articles any profit sharing but they are being jipped as well. eHow is by the people behind Enom and a few other networks who give Google a ton of dough for advertising.
