This morning when i try to log in my Helium account, i can't log in, (i have not use internet for 4 days because of the festival), then i check my email box, there is a notification as following: We’re writing to inform you that we have removed your article written to the title, "How to help your child handle a friendship breakup." Your article is inserted below. Your article was deleted because it falls below Helium’s minimum word count or for other editorial quality issues. Your account at Helium will be closed. Helium has increased the minimum word count to 400 words, based on research that maximizes writer exposure and earnings. We recommend article lengths between 400 and 1,500 words. Your article may have been submitted before this new word count minimum. In fact, My article has been there for about two weeks, and as you can see, it also said, it set a new standard about the word count, well, if it falls under the new standard, it should be deleted, but what i could not understand is why it deleted my account without any reason. I have not violate any guidelines. And what about my earnings? I once feel this site is a fantastic website, but i really could not understand why they do this. They close the accounts of all those who once wrote an article with the word count under its standard(NEW STANDARD)?

No,my friend, i mean i have been a member of Helium.com. it is a website you can earn by writing. It is a strict website, so if there is some error, even small errors, they won't accept your articles. I have written about 30 articles there, some of them are get published immediately, some are accepted by them after some revisions. Though it is hard to get articles published there, but i like their strict attitude on article quality and the people there are also helpful. But they deleted my account several days before. I just could not understand why they do so, or they have deleted all the accounts of those whose once wrote some so-so articles?

I am sorry to hear that my friend, anyway there are lots of article writing sites ou there, try republishing it on Expertscolumn so you can monetize your articles.

I'm not a member of Helium, so I didn't feel that. Most of the site that I have joined set minimum words have to be more then 400 words. If you have a copy of your articles, just publish it on other places. Factoidz, Triond, Bukisa, etc.

I knew that, in fact, all of my articles have more than 400 words, but they said there is new rules now, maybe more than 400 words. Well, i really feel disappointed.
