We have deleted a further 25 accounts today for a consistent disregard of the submission guidelines, posting of adult content and link spamming.

This has reduced the amount of spam we have to sift through to find good articles, quite considerably. We are now able to approve articles within 24-48 hours.

For a list of the deleted accounts, (The Name and Shame list) go to:

Howdy Folks!

We have rewritten the submission guidelines. We are getting tougher with the affiliate product spammers and poor quality articles. Before submitting your articles please read the guidelines as it can save you and us a lot of time in having to rework articles if you get it right first time.

Excellent news everyone. This week we passed 2 more milestones. We now have over 12,000 articles in the database and over 2,000 active authors. Well done!

Remember keep those articles coming and we'll keep publishing them.

We have carried out a major redesign of the website this weekend and can now offer you lots of updates to make your life easier whilst on the site.

These include:

New Article Submission Process - Simplified into one screen.

Article Images - There will be an option to add a teaser image to an article. Traditionally Information Booth has always displayed the author image for each article, now there is an option to choose from no image, the authors picture or upload a teaser image.

Updated Search Code - The search is faster and more accurate. 

Podcasting - You will be able to add podcasts to both articles and blogs. There will be links to the podcast feeds on the website which users can click to add the feeds straight into iTunes or another compatible program. 

Advanced Commenting System - Comments will be threaded. Website visitors can reply to other users comments and have their comments grouped together, so a conversation doesn't get lost. Users will also be able to include a website link when submitting and their name will link to it in their post.

I'm sure you will all benefit greatly from these changes. If there is something you would like to see on Information Booth, whether it's a new feature, or you found a bug, please let us know byusing the contact us link.

Do you want your article featured on the home page of Information Booth? If so we are now selling this space at $5 per week. Use the contact us link to enquire about availability.

For those of you interesting in Google PR and are running the Google Toolbar, will have noticed this morning that Information Booth now has a Page Rank of 3.

This means that all your articles will be getting better positions in the Search Engines, so the more you post to Information Booth, the more traffic you will get.

Apologies if you were trying to connect to the site over the weekend. We had made a clerical error with our license, which has now been resolved. We hope this didn't inconvenience you too much.

Since we started this directory in November we have had a great response. Over 1100 registered authors and now over 5500 excellent articles in our database. turnaround time for publishing is less than 12 hours, not many article sites can boast stats like that.

Well done to all our authors and all our staff for supporting the authors so well!!!

Everyone here at Information Booth would like to wish all our excellent authors and website visitors a very happy new year. Lets hope it's a prosperous one for you.

This is a new article directory that will rise quickly in the Search Engine Rankings. How do we know, well we've already made a few similar sites and we have learnt how to do it right. If you want links to your sites from what will be a high ranking article site start posting now.
