AticlesBase pulling down 500 large a month?



Props to them for having a profitable business, but anyone would have to be crazy to invest in them or buy them... all their traffic comes from Google. That means they're one algorithm change away from no income.

(Although seeing as most of their revenue comes from adsense, there is a conflict of interest for G)

Seobook has good post about content farms:

Content Farms in Google's Crosshairs

WHat will google rank if not the content farms? EMD thin sites?
If they Nuke the content farms, all long tails will be up for grabs, but wait, who will rank? Youtube? Flickr? WIkipedia is there already...

True that content farms rank more than they deserve, but what we all spew out are also mini content farms anyway? So if Google algorithmically Nukes COntent farms then most of us will all go down with it...

Without manual filter, it would be difficult though with alll the Backlink power that these content farms got.. OH articlesbase just got some steamy link juice from Techcrunch...
