Some years ago, infobarrel was competing with hubpages. In fact some articles there ranked better, just of recent I noticed that non of these articles on infobarrel found in search engine. Is this a natural death or what?
Since you posted this, I went ahead and took a look at the site. At the top of one page was a new article written by me and scraped by someone called Salto. Not one word was changed, and he even stole my photos.
If this is InfobarrelĀ“s usual policy (to publish stolen content) I can see why they are doing so poorly. Since they are publishing stolen content Google can shoot them and put them out of their misery.
I prefer sweet taters, grown in a barrel. Crackers get stale in a barrel.
Surely you've heard of Cracker Barrel? Or Crackle Barrel as my kids used to say.
HubPages rank on Quantcast = #71, est 17 million US unique views/month.
Infobarrel rank on Quantcast = #29,339, est 50 thousand US unique views/month.
Based on those numbers, I guess I am not going to worry about my stolen hub.
I haven't been active on info barrel for years. Doesn't sound like I've missed anything.
So what I'm hearing is that it's absolutely pointless to start writing on infobarrel?
And for anyone interested in Relache's stats, here's the source links.

(Sorry for the double post!)
It means that infobarrel writers efforts were wasted just like that. What a pity!
I wrote 2 articles over there. I guess I should save them, so I can put them on Hubpages when Infobarrel goes down.

I just joined InfoBarrel out of curiousity and I like it ok. I haven't been on there long enough to have much of an opinion. Has anyone here done good with it?

People have suggested I join Infobarrel so I did. I unpublished and deleted a hub here about La Guancha in Tenerife and thought I would use it as my first InfoBarrel article. The first problem I ran into was it said I was using a keyword too much. The keyword was roses and I was saying that there...

I got in on EHOW towards the very end just a few months before it imploded. I was making decent money right away----MUCH more than what I make per adsense per hubpages, etc. However, I disliked a number of other things about EHOW. When EHOW imploded there were a number of other things...

Any Alternative to Hub Pages ?
by Juliette Kando F I Chor 14 years ago
I'm thinking of joining Info Barrel but before doing so I'd like to know:1. Does it work, is it worth joining?.2. Does it pay out outside of the United States? EHow for exampleonly pays U.S. citizens at the moment and I live in Spain.
