I have it with me for a bit over one year, and to be honest with you it just sits on my web server days in and days out collecting dust.
At first, I thought the idea would be brilliant – To run an articles directory that host all-unique articles on small business. However, the implementation is a bit problem-ridden.
Firstly, you need you very own administrator or moderator – There are such a huge amount of spam that I’t bother to take care of the directory anymore. Secondly, you need to check every single article to ensure that it is unique – Again, this is achievable only if you have your very own admin or mod. I could do it myself, but considering I run dozens of web properties, despite outsourcing and automating some, I still don’t have the resource to take care this articles directory.
Then, I decided that it is a good idea to “relive” the articles directory and use it as a resource for small business owners – A great match for Noobpreneur.com. The articles won’t be unique – Well, they could be unique in the eyes of search engines with a certain script for the purpose of increasing traffic – But what’s the point? They are still not unique in the eyes of visitors, anyway.
My purpose of “reliving” the directory is to give visitors a wealth of small business related articles to help in giving ideas on how to solve small business-related issues – This time, I ignore some principles of SEO (search engine optimisation) by ignoring the duplicate content issues. Again, my purpose is to serve visitors first, search engine second – Just like Noobpreneur.com does all this time :)
Most of the existing articles themselves are sourced automatically to a major articles directory – They are legal copies and in accordance to the Term of Services; Some articles are added by registered members.
You can certainly register to Small Business Articles Directory and submit your very own articles. Why the need to register? One purpose – To minimise spam and increase the quality of the submitted articles. I will manually approve the articles (with the help of my outsourcing partners) – Please be patient, as we need to go through each articles to see whether they are appropriate for the articles directory and its visitors.
So, please pay a visit to the Small Business Articles Directory and please let me know what you think.

There never seems to be enough hours in the day to juggle everything. Good Luck!
Dave,
LOL – People do forgot that money is not the most expensive resource of all – Time is the most expensive resource of all :)
