I have seen this question floating around and thought I would answer it here.

Q: GoArticles.com won't let me use my free web email address such as gmail or  hotmail to sign up.  What can I use if I don't have one with my service provider?

 A: They will accept an AOL webmail account for some reason.  Go to www.webmail.aol.com and make a free email to use for GoArticles. 

GoArticles is awesome because its Google page rank is 6 right now and you can put direct affiliate links in your articles.  No need for a landing page or a redirect domain.  It is also highly recommended here at WA.

Good luck everybody.
