I've found there's two problems with committing a lot of time to free articles: <blockquote>1) Sites that use free articles tend to post a LOT of free articles and don't have a lot of traffic to send to you. This is probably because they're part of click fraud schemes and using the articles to "cloak" themselves.</blockquote> <blockquote>2) It's easy to blow time or PageRank that should be devoted to your own sites. Writing those articles takes away from time to write enough content to keep my own sites updated (and daily-reader traffic coming in). If the articles are either closely based-on or copies of content from my own sites then Google sees it as "copied content" and sometimes drops ALL of it from their search rankings.</blockquote> Despite those negatives, it's always good to spend a small amount of effort trying this or any link-building method. With the right topic or linking site it could work out much better than the average results, and all with very little effort. -Mike This IS a great way to build free traffic and even a bit of PageRank – but just like getting any attention online, it’s tough to write an article that gets so much attention. I’ve found there’s two problems with committing a lot of time to free articles:

1) Sites that use free articles tend to post a LOT of free articles and don’t have a lot of traffic to send to you. This is probably because they’re part of click fraud schemes and using the articles to “cloak” themselves.

2) It’s easy to blow time or PageRank that should be devoted to your own sites. Writing those articles takes away from time to write enough content to keep my own sites updated (and daily-reader traffic coming in). If the articles are either closely based-on or copies of content from my own sites then Google sees it as “copied content” and sometimes drops ALL of it from their search rankings.

Despite those negatives, it’s always good to spend a small amount of effort trying this or any link-building method. With the right topic or linking site it could work out much better than the average results, and all with very little effort.
