Views on Content Farm/Mill(websites post many articles/day)

In the context of the World Wide Web, content farms are companies (or their divisions) that employ large numbers of (often freelance) writers to generate large amounts of textual content[2].
The articles in content farms are written by human beings but may not be written by a specialist in the area. Proponents of the content farms claim that from a business perspective, traditional journalism is inefficient:[2] stories are chosen by a small group of people that frequently have similar experiences and outlooks. Content farms often commission their writers' work based on analysis of search engine queries[2] that proponents represent as "true market demand", a feature that traditional journalism lacks.[2]

Content Farms can be good for finding How-To tutorials like "How to change a car battery?". I use eHow, Squidoo, Hub Pages, Yahoo Answers all the time when I need to learn how to do something in a short amount of time. Plus, the community is very helpful since they also comment on articles, so I can read more about the topic in the comment section.

I dislike Yahoo Answers for their community, but I love Ehow and sites like that. They are really helpful 🙂
