There are many Article sites out there with Articles to be copied and used upon your own sites no matter what the subject matter is , and they are a decent way to add content to your sites.
But there are a few things to remember :
1) This content by itself will not do you much good in the long run as it is not "original" and the Search Engines will notice this. I find the best thing to do to keep it mixed up is to Write a well thought out response on the Pro's and Con's of the said article. There are way too many sites using the same article by itself - You need to stand out a little bit to get the deserved attention
2) Always Give Credit to the Creator of the Articles. This is generally mandatory anyway , but often times - People avoid linking out to the original creator / source for some reason. Give them credit :thumbup: - They deserve it and it's just Good etiquette to do so.
3) This one should be a "Given" - But make sure the Article(s) are relative to your site. I think it's silly to find a "Game" site with a article about "Mesothelioma" on it just because people found out it is / was a hot PPC item at one time. LOL - believe it or not , I have seen this
4) This door goes two ways - If You write articles , Post them on the article sites as well. It's a great way to get Incoming links from relative sites and can help your site get crawled quicker by the Engines if it is new still.
I think most of this is Content Basics - But it is always a good thing to point out every once in a while for Veterans and Noobs in this industry.
Good Luck and may the SEO Force be with you
