Which one out of those are the best and why? Which ones pays the most too?

you can check out triond as well. many had said that it pays better than helium. i am only a member of triond. are you aware also of xomba?

Xomba, triond, helium, squidoo or ehow... Which is the best and why?

your question is so hard to answer..!! coz that would depend a lot or more in your preference. so far i like it there in xomba, the usual you post your own topic with a wide range of categories then there a section too that you can post links of videos or articles but you have to start a sort of discussion (even short) then link the main article there. you can also talk about your website, if you have, then make a link of it there. the rules is pretty simple and not hard to follow and less restrictions.. i would say you better check it yourself and take a look of it if it suits your preference then you decide from there whether you like it or not.

How do they pay you? Do they pay you per article upfront? Or just for the amount of views a discussion gets or what?

How good are they? Better than the others?
