ArticlesBase is a leading free article syndication website that allows authors to publish articles for free and share knowledge with potential customers. The article database is organized into a highly intuitive article directory, covering a wide variety of subjects, allowing the site to provide readers with fresh, relevant, and optimized content, and providing publishers with free content for their websites, newsletters, or ezines. All articles are reviewed by an editor before being published on the site.
History
ArticlesBase was established in 2005 as a website to provide a free platform for content producers to publish their work online (also known as article marketing) with an easy and free process. Over the past several years, ArticlesBase has grown at a rapid pace, increasing 8-fold in 2008[1], and rolling out international versions of the site for Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, French, and Hebrew speakers to reach their target audiences. There are currently over 760,000[2] articles published by 95,000[2] authors on the English site alone.
Purpose
Authors who submit articles to ArticlesBase.com have the potential to reach prospective clients and customers by using link placement to drive traffic to their sites, while publishers can find free content for their newsletters, blogs, ezines, and websites. ArticlesBase helps authors strengthen their online credibility and build their online readership, and authors who do not have a website can use ArticlesBase as their home base. Such applications as RSS and widgets allow for quick distribution of articles, thus enabling them to be quickly picked up by other sites, making ArticlesBase a powerful viral marketing tool.
Content and Article Format
ArticlesBase contains approximately 240 categories and subcategories ranging from health and education to computers and entertainment. Articles must be at least 250 words in length[3] and may contain up to 3 backlinks[3]. Authors are encouraged to write a personal biography where they can list their contact information and links to their websites. All articles must be written by the author and must adhere to strict content guidelines[3]. Articles containing pornography or illegal subjects will be rejected, and the author’s account may be subject to termination.
Analytics Tools
ArticlesBase has a first-of-its-kind[4] web analytics tool that enables authors to track visitor traffic. The statistics provide the author with an indication of the effectiveness of their article across several objectives. The tool can help authors improve the performance of future submissions and analyzing the past behaviors of their articles by tracking visitor traffic.
Parameters include a graph showing the number of visits over different time frames, the keywords their readers used to find their articles (shown by number and total percentage), and the referrer through which their readers arrive at ArticlesBase.
Article Marketing eBook
In 2008, ArticlesBase founders Eyal Halimi and Simon Gelfand published an eBook named Entrepreneur's Guide to Article Marketing. The ebook gives tips about various related topics, such as generating traffic, increasing search engine rankings, building online credibility[5], and more.
