ASKED

about how the publisher benefits when he uses free reprint articles on his blog.
You benefit by getting niche specific content that is helpful to your readers. Also, when Google is trying to determine the importance of your website, one factor that it considers is how long a reader stays on your site after being referred from the search engine.
The more quality content that you have on your site, the longer that readers will tend to stay and look around, and that can impact your search engine rankings for the better.
If you were able to and wanted to write all of the content on your blog, that would be great, but many blog publishers simply do not have the time or inclination to produce content on a consistent basis, so they turn to free reprint articles. While the articles are free (you do not have to pay money for them), the writer needs to get something in return for providing the content.
The reason why people create free reprint articles is to market their websites. With a traditional free reprint article, there would be a resource box (aka ‘author bio’) that appears beneath the article and includes biographical information as well as an incentive to visit their website and a link or two to the site.
For blog publishers, we offer an alternative to the traditional resource box. We call it “Naked Articles”, meaning that the published article is without a resource box or other author attribution (hence, ‘naked’) and with a link or two within the body of the post. For all intents and purposes, they appear to anyone reading the blog as a post you have written yourself.
You had said you didn’t want to publish advertisements of other people’s products on your blog–perhaps you meant that you didn’t want to publish articles with resource boxes? If that’s the case, you can opt to receive Naked Articles.
I also wanted to make clear that the articles that we distribute are not advertisements or sales oriented–they are educational articles written on the area of expertise of the author. For example, when I submit articles, I write articles that teach people how to do article marketing, rather than articles about my business, SubmitYourArticle.com
So, the content that you would receive would not be advertisements, but helpful content that your readers would appreciate. There would be one to two links in the article body (if you chose to receive Naked Articles), but they are not of the “click here” variety and do not include language that promotes the website of the author or that tries to lure the reader to click the link. The links are anchor text links, and the text that is linked is in context with the rest of the non-sales oriented article.
You had asked another question: “Would it not be a better idea for everyone that signs up, to link blogs so that when someone makes a post it goes to all the other members blogs?”
I’m sorry, I do not know where you could find free quality content that did not involve crediting the author by linking to another site.
I hope this helps!
