Howto.fm – The Knowledge Base Ready To Explode

Fresh content is always appreciated by search engines and by knowledge hungry Internet surfers. Following the same theory “how to” is a content rich website containing tons of article on various categories. Some of the regular categories which might be of Interest to the readers of this tech blog are:

Programming
Internet
Computers and Technology
Games
Linux
Windows and Office

All the categories mentioned above have some useful article or the other.

So why am I writing about this service?

Like my blog, which is in the process of collecting content, this service is also in the process of collecting content and very soon their efforts will show. Google loves websites which generate content on regular basis and these fellows are doing that. You must subscribe to their feeds if you are knowledge hungry.

From where do they collect content?

They have their own people working hard to make the site content rich and to add to that they let their readers to help them grow by the idea of article submission. If you have any free time then even you can submit unique article to their collection. You are permitted to leave one back link to your blog in that article. This will give you some traffic too. Remember that the website is well categorized and you won’t get buried in their archives.

How they make money?

Like you and I do it. Google AdSense is the only source of income. Currently they are not spending any money on advertisements and they are trying to get that word of mouth publicity. I am with them!

Some Suggestions..

Create a separate about page. Currently their homepage has all everything cluttered here and their. A separate about page is always a better option.
The line which divides “why to submit articles” and “about howto.fm” is diminished. I will again suggest to shift both the stuffs on two separate pages.
Try and make the look of the site more simplified. It took me considerable amount of time before I could get the real picture. Use of arrows, images and step by step instructions should be the professional choice. Currently it looks like rushed through.

Bonus for you
