The second one which we are going to discuss are the sites which are referred often referred as User Generated Content Publishing Sites, Online Publishing Sites, Article Directories, etc.


The two most promising and highly rated websites are

2. These sites have their live communities which help you get instant recognition.

3. They are highly optimized for SEO- Search Engine Optimization. Frequently their articles find themselves in the top of the Search Engine Page.

4. These sites incorporate in them features of Social Networking Sites.

5. They also have Forums, Tutorial Team and others which help a newbie to get accustomed to the Online writing environment.

Let us look at the following disadvantages as well:
