Got a 3rd featured article
after 83 articles published over InfoBarrel. I just needed to mention the total
number of articles, 83 because it rhymes with 3. :)
The article is about Things to do in Baguio City Philippines. It was actually originally intended for TripTipping but
then again, I needed to write a completely new material because of site
formatting issues. They have a specific guideline for articles published at TripTipping.
But at least, even if the article didn’t work for one site, it worked for
another.
InfoBarrel
InfoBarrel or IB by the way
is one of the fastest growing revenue sharing content sites. Its revenue share
is relatively larger as compared to other sites. Hubpages, supposedly the
number one and has a distinct system for earnings, is in trouble for content
with duplicate and link issues. Squidoo, also another gigantic platform pays
based on your article’s rank.

InfoBarrel is available on this post Building a Passive Income through InfoBarrel.
Infobarrel Featured Articles
Featured articles are
selected based on a submission process. Only articles written and submitted on
the current month can be submitted for possible selection among featured
articles for the following month. I published the above article in February and
it was chosen as one of the editorial favorites for March 2013.
To be selected, the article
must follow specific guidelines to stand out. Not to mention stand out against
possible hundreds of other articles also submitted as a feature. The number of
featured articles for a month will be dependent on the number of days per
month. Two for each day will be featured.
Every day will have an
assigned category and topic. If your published article falls under any of allotted
topics, then you can have it submitted for consideration. Among all submitted
articles, featured submissions will be chosen by the editorial board based on featured
content guidelines imposed.
Why Get Featured?
If you are already a member
of the site, having your articles featured means additional exposure. The
article will be posted on the home/front page of IB along with other selected
pieces. It will be among the posts with thumbnails and enlarged image shortcut/link
to the article for 3 days and 6 more days below the thumbnails.
Through this, you will
naturally have greater chances of seeing visitors, especially first timers,
read the featured article. They may even read your other articles and check
your profile page. You can use the latter to link back to your site, blog, or
any other profile/page you have online. You may even offer your services in any
field related to the articles you have published.
Also, traffic to your
articles, profiles, etc. may be converted into generated income of course. Anyway,
even if your article is not featured, you can still take advantage of the site’s
page rank for views. IB is currently a PR4. I’ve reviewed my earnings for the past
year and found out that it’s almost at par with what this blog (Free Minds Free
Lines) earns. That’s actually amazing considering the fact that my IB account
has less than 100 articles. I also don’t pay for a domain name and I don’t
exert as much effort as I do for this blog.
