I just learned the usefulness of Google Base as a marketing tool. I found out I can advertise my article sort of like a press release and add a link to my article and a referral link to join HubPages.
Here is an example of what it looks like:
http://base.google.com/base/a/6545871/D … 0522417490
I think its a win win for us article writers. If I don't get any traffic generated from the advert, I at least get a backlink for my article.
http://base.google.com is the link. You will have to sign up for a "base" account, which only takes a couple minutes, before you publish an advert.
Hope this info helps everyone!
It's all new to me and I imagine to a lot of others also. Now I have known about online press releases to do SEO marketing for websites but I'm just learning that the same can be done with marketing articles.
I thought it would be useful to everyone.

It's a great resource. Posting an online press release will get at the very least a backlink to your article.
Not all of the PR sources listed charge a fee for an active hyperlink in the release, but I'm starting to register with each one and I'll post a list of the ones that allow free hyperlinks.
I would be interested in that - I have been through dozens of them and have not found a free one that allows that. So I tend to stick to using the few that are up-front about what they charge.
Hey Mark, have you tried the Google Base? It's free and you can place hyperlinks in it. I posted a link to one that I published on Base. It's in the first post above.
Thanks for the update, yet another place to get free backlinks.
Yes, I used google base long time back to market my blogger blogs and found it very useful, but it is driving little traffic now as I do not have time to update it with new things..
that's a good service actually i m using it for backlinks, not getting much traffic but, something is better than nothign
Thank you for this info. I post article updates on Twitter and occasionally Stumbleupon and Digg. This looks like another great tool.
Just be careful not to actually use the text of your hub, or any text you don't want reposted elsewhere, as the ToS give them the right to reproduce and modify any content you post.
@livewithrichard - you started this 5 weeks ago, have you seen a significant rise in traffic since you signed up? Do you now think it's worth it?

I save the HTML of articles to my hard drive and also backup onto an external drive, but my second backup is that the files on my hard drive are automatically uploaded to Google Drive. I tried opening the HTML of one today and the first problem is that the HTML file doesn't run off Google Drive so...

My top traffic article which used to get 2000 views per day for years has now dropped further down the rankings from its featured spot on Google and traffic is now around 60 views per day. If I turn off ads so people can actually read it and get past the "content continues below" barrier...

Just curious, but does anyone have experience with this? How'd you do it? Did you tell Google the article moved somehow or do anything else fancy? Or did you just copy, paste, delete from HubPages, and wait for Google to catch up?Im guessing there might be some duplicate content penalties from...
