many article sites like Bukisa, Hubpages, Articlesbase are Nofollow which leads to the questions whether you should submit content to them since you are not getting anything in return, specially from articlesbase which don’t even allow revene sharing like hubpagess and bukisa.

This dofollow/nofollow thing is pretty messy and article directories do not deliberately disclose this that the links are nofollow which means search engines won’t crawl them. Now this questions the integrity of the article directory which do not tell this to the submitter who thinks he is getting a link from the site (though these links contains very little quality still dofollow is always better then nofollow).

I have never been a great fan of these article directories since I always found them too cheesy and useless and other then may be 5,the rest all are useless and most of the content is copied but still if the submitter is not getting anything back in return for his effort then which he thinks he is getting, then these sites should certainly inform their users about links being nofollow (but they won’t for obvious reasons)

So in short, if you are submitting articles to Bukisa, Hubpages, Articlesbase for backlinks, do not do it, you are wasting your time and money, you won’t get anything from them.
