Just a few quick ideas and thoughts....

If you are using "Free reprintable articles" on your websites, what do you look for in the website that is in the bio box? For example, you find a decent article on Google Adsense, but the link in the bio displays the crappiest website you have ever seen, and or is one big ad for someones elses e-book from Clickbank lets say. Would you still use this article or no? Would you give up your viewers comfort for one decent article? Would you want to associate with this website whatsoever after catching on to the grand scheme? Just some ramblings, my apologies if you have no idea what article marketing is.
