I just wrote two articles and posted them on snipsly.com. Has anyone ever used them before for link development? They are a PR3 and they allow you to add your google adsense ID so that you can receive 80% of ad revenue from the article. I figured it would be a good idea because I have a chance to get ad revenue from the article and then I linked the article to my niche site when I have more google ads up.
I know a lot of people who use Snipsly in conjunction w/ sites like hubpages. I haven't found any article writing sites that have a better revenue share, so thats prob the biggest plus for me. The backlinking is nice, too. If you're linking to niche sites you could use analytics to see if it's helping to drive any traffic to your sites too.
