I have a 1 year old Pomeranian. For 11 months he had been using a litterbox and it was working fine, but now we changed it to pee pads. The first week it worked, but after that he started peeing everywhere, everyday. Should I put the litterbox back?

He is confused. I would put the litterbox back and put the pads in more places. When he does his business on the pad, give him a treat.
These are adorable dogs and so easy to love..
Most training professionals seem to agree that using either method is okay but consistency is the most important factor.
Since your puppy has now "used" different spots in the house you will have to thoroughly clean these areas or he will go right back to that area no matter what you do. Since we do not know what type of floors you have you can just Google your cleaning question and find many useful articles - but - this is a very important step.
As to the training - here are some very good sites that offer some good guidelines (be careful of the sites that just want to sell a certain product:

I would use the litterbox. It is better than pads for a reason.
Pads can confuse dogs because you're basically teaching your dog to go on the floor.
That's what's confusing your dog. You are basically teaching him that now it's okay to go on the floor.
Many dogs that are pad trained are likely to revert in their training.
You are also better off as far as expense is concerned. Pads get very expensive.
Cats go in a litterbox their entire lives. I think your dog can, too.
