GoArticles.com sucks

    Do not submit to Goarticles.com
    They are horrible. They are not well indexed by Google and they remove articles without a good reason.

    You know Google doesn't index it well though. And it doesn't have as much authority value.

    It depends on the searchs, for some searchs Goarticles can be ranked well , sometimes not.
    If they remove your article, there are surely a reason, maybe your orthograph wasn't good, or your write an article to preomote something, ect...

    I've got about 100 articles up on goarticles and have never had them removed.

    However, they are not found by Google (only 4 are appearing in webmaster tools when I last checked). The key to get google to find them is to build a few links to each article, which is something I've started doing and it works.

    I too was not very impressed with them. I gave it 2 tries and wasn't impressed either time.

    You are going to have to tell us a little more about your bad experience, because I find them to be very useful.

    Actually, I have over 250 articles posted with them.

    I agree with you... Of course that also depends on the niche of the articles.

    I have never heard of that one.

    Oh, I do not think that typographical errors have anything to do with it. GoArticles has an automatic approval. That means that junk articles get accepted all the time. It leaves much to be desired with regards to the quality of the articles therein. As a matter of fact, when my clients hire me to submit articles in addition to writing them, I NEVER submit to GoArticles because of that reason. I have seen far too many articles that are simply horrible with regards to grammar, typos, punctuation and even SPUN articles, which usually sound like gibberish.

    I use Goarticles with Ezinearticles. After my articles are approved in Ezinearticles, I submit them to Goarticles. Some articles in Goarticles even get more traffic than Ezinearticles. However, the links showing up in the webmaster report are fewer than that of Ezinearticles.
    The only thing I do not like is the republishing option. The last time I checked, the author profile was a separate box. That means the webmaster can republish the article without the author profile.

    templates - I use them all the time and have over 250 articles posted with them... It's free, why not give it a shot?

    I still want to see what the OP is having problems with and why they suck?

    Only thing I don't like about articlesbase is that all the links are nofollow. But I use it a ton, have around 1400 articles on that site now.
