Hello fellow hubbers! Newbie question here-- is it worth writing articles on other sites like InfoBarrel and Squidoo and then linking them to your (related) hubs? I've seen people talking about doing this in the forums from time to time and wonder whether it's a good investment. So far I have 26 hubs and several of them are doing very well on Google. I have a few more articles written and ready to post so I'm wondering whether it's worth branching out at this point. Cheers and thanks for any insight!
In my opinion, no. I think Hubpages is one of the best article sites for squeezing money out of content, especially if you're not especially good with SEO or affiliates.
It's also a good point for jumping into building your own websites, which is generally preferable to writing on other people's sites, under someone else's thumb.

I don't know why but the views of all articles written by me have gone down which suggests that HubPages and other sites associated with them are going down in the rankings. Note that I had several successful articles on multiple sites like LevelSkip and ToughNickel. Now everything has gone to...
