Europe a la Carte to publish free pdf guides on GuideGecko.com

I read about GuideGecko.com in the same Guardian article that mentioned Gekko.com. It’s weird that two similar sounding travel sites were in the same piece.
GeckoGuides approached me to ask it I’d like to publish some guides on their site. I was swithered about this, as I wasn’t sure if this was a sensible strategy. I didn’t see it as realistic to charge for guides which were avaiable free on the Europe a la Carte site. Although I’m happy to offer my guides as free pdf downloads, I can’t guarantee that offering free guides will give Europe a la Carte much exposure as there doesn’t seem to be any way to hyperlink back to Europe a la Carte from GekkoGuides, there’s just a profile with text. I wondered if GuideGecko have more to gain from customer satisfaction by offering access to free guides than I do as the author?
Anyway I’ve decided to give it a go and have uploaded my Guide to the Zadar Region as a free pdf guide on Gecko.com.
If you write about travel would you consider publishing your guides, either free of charge or as a way to earn revenue, on GuideGeck.com? As a consumer are you suspicious about the quality of free guides or do you refuse to pay for travel information with so much available free on the internet?
