I read in a article somewhere about the benefits of allowing other websites to publish articles you have authored, the advantages being that your site got accredited for the work and gained back links from the published articles on other websites. all of a sudden thousands of article publishing sites appeared as webmasters seen the possibility to earn commission from ads placed on their site around your article. it is easy to get caught up in the process of mass submission. over many years I have learnt that there are as many problems as benefits.
