Writing for Info Barrel

SEO
InfoBarrel currently has a Google Page Rank of 4, so publishing articles there will get some exposure with the search engines. Shoot for keywords that have not been targeted on other higher ranked content publishing websites.

Friendly Community
InfoBarrel also has a pretty strong community of writers that are willing to exchange views and comments.

Relaxed Writing Style
Because 1st person is allowed here, you can essentially blog at InfoBarrel as long as your writing is informative and factually correct without spamming.

Publishing
It is not uncommon to panic after submitting an article to Info Barrel, as they seem to disappear after submission. If your article is denied publication there is not link it provided in the rejection email. Don't worry the content is still on the website, it is just a little hard to find. Most writers look for content under the "My Content" tab on the "My Info Barrel" page. Instead, select the "Navigation Bar" at the top of the screen by the login. This will open up a bar at the top that also links to "My Content." However, under this content page, you will be able to see live, draft, denied and pending articles. You can also see friend requests in this tool bar.

Earnings
I have earned a few dollars from InfoBarrel through Google Adsense. They require an Adsense ID to get paid. Compared to the amount I earn on other websites, InfoBarrel doesn't pay much. My experience has been better with InfoBarrel than with HubPages though. I have earned more from InfoBarrel. It is also a great place to put rewrites or previously published content to earn an extra buck.

Backlinks
Finally, it will help you build backlinks and make new writing friends. Two backlinks are allowed in each article and the links are do follow links, so they help improve your Google Page Rank.

If you like to write suggested titles, or are simply experiencing writer's block, try the "Things to Do" tab. There you can find requested titles for articles and overviews. The overviews are category introduction pages and must be 250 words in length.

Also, be sure to add this guy as your friend. He is probably the most active InfoBarrel writer that I know. Rumor has it he's working on a book about writing for InfoBarrel.
