I will not name the site but it is one of the sites I write for. I have written 90 articles on there, but they have been having some sort of technical problem since Sunday and only 15 of my 90 articles are viewable. That means I am losing a lot of revenue through hits. They are my older articles as well which makes it even worse because they are not my better articles. I hope and pray all the rest of the articles are not gone for good, that is a lot of work down the drain if they are. I just wanted to share my frustration. Anyone else having or ever had a similar frustrating experience?

That sounds very frustrating. Have they got it fixed now? I am writing this a week later, so I'm hoping that it is fixed now. I haven't had any problems on sites for a while now. That is good! It is hard when you do so much work and the site goes under. Although, I understand everything has to undergo updates and technical issues. I truly hope everything is better for you now.

I see it on tags and it feels that the site that you are talking about is that site. I do not know. Well, In that site I want to go back but I am not so sure anymore.
Anyway, based on your experience, it is really indeed frustrating. You exert too much effort in writing those 90 articles. Maybe that site has a technical problems and just wait, maybe it would be fix soon.

Not anything like you are speaking of but sometimes posting, or commenting on others. I hope they have gotten everything fixed by now, and you can go about earning more points, views, or money.

Lady,
If you are talking about experts column than a friend of mine also used to put her blogs there and probably she lost them too. She hadnt been regular there but she did put her old blogs from other sites there and I dont know how many she lost but she told me that she lost few of her blogs there.

Yeah that is frustrating and everything. I have to say that is a lot of articles and I would be frustrated as well, but these sites are not always going ot be golden. I have to say that I have missed out on a few things when some sites have went down or had some issues. I hope that everything works out for you soon and that you get your revenue back on track though. Good Luck!!

Hi,
I too lost about 8 blogs on that site. The site is up now. Though the balance is not effected but I do loose the blogs. I am not going to put them again now because I have lost confidense in that site. It is better to put them some where else than put them there.

I am so sorry to hear this happening to you. I have kinda given up writing on writing sites, so I am free from such problems.
You should try to post your articles on other sites then if the support from this site is below par.

Hi ladym33. I think I know what site you're talking about. I noticed yesterday that the most recent article I wrote on there has disappeared. As far as I can tell, it's the only one missing. You are right, that is a lot of work you've done. I really hope that your articles are brought back. I can relate to your frustration.

Hi ladym!
I am crying since yesterday because of this. Out of my 64 articles, only 6 were left. I have to republish my other articles because I could no longer wait until they recover all those missing files.
I am glad that they allow me to do it although there are articles who are out of timing already.
Have a nice day!

I can guess which article writing site you are talking about.I too have joined it.My more than twenty articles are already published in the site,but now,perhaps due to some technical problem the site is possibly experiencing,only two are being shown up.At first,I got upset,but when I saw my earnings there,I found it safe and intact.That clearly means my articles are not deleted.Otherwise my earnings too have been reduced.See your earnings in the site.And yes,wait and watch when the problems in the site get removed.

oh dear that is indeed something unfortunate. I hope things get resolved quickly for you and your articles be on display. The site should take care of their authors too. Since it seems to me like you are one of the prolific ones. All the best and dont give up hope.

Your frustration is really genuine. 90 articles is high number of writings. It takes time as well as labor. Your hope is not totally collapsed as the site is still working. your 15 articles are being displayed. Do not lose hope and be patient. If it is really their technical problem, the problem may over.
