Just in case you havent noticed, there are literally hundreds of article directories cropping up on the Internet. In line with Googles Adsense program and other such programs, people are looking to get on the Internet with their Web page. One thing that most Web site owners have learned is that having articles that say something help rank them higher on the search engines instead of having jumbled up keywords on a page that doesnt read well at all.
Article directories have a big jobevery day, thousands of authors and want-to-be authors submit their articles to these directories. These authors arent seeking payment, but rather a link back to their site, exposure for themselves as writers and for their websites. Its a scratch-my-back-and-Ill-scratch-yours society. Many of the articles that are submitted to these directories are not articles at all, but rather blurbs of nothingness with little content and usually lacking readability. The revenue from Adsense for the article directory Web sites can be substantial, but only if they have quality articles posted on their site and if they can get it up quickly.
There is of course Spam to these article directory Web sites...
