F.Y.I.
A Few More "Guidelines" To Avoid Rejection of your article(s) (copied from
ArticlesNetwork.com website):
If your article is ever
declined, it's likely that you have used an auto-submitter, or not
taken time to make sure your article reflects your subject title, or
you have been lazy and copied and pasted a PLR or a ghostwriter's free
article from some database that is a clone of hundreds of others just
like it or one of the below lists of reasons for declining your
article(s) which was formed by all of our huge group of
Article Directory Publishers in unison:
* Active links in article body are not allowed. Please place them in
the author bio section.
* Your article is nothing more than a "glorified classified" and really
nothing suitable for our directory visitors to gain value from
* Advertising for some product or service, not a real "article of
value" to our readers or potential publishers.
* Affiliate Links not allowed.
* Article already in database.
* Article content inappropriate for our reader base or our niche.
* We do not post Press Releases.
* Article is published online by a different author.
* Article is published online by MANY different authors.

* To many links in body of article to your site.
* Too many affiliate links in article. Limit is one per every 500 words.
* Too many misspelled words, run-together words/paragraphs, no
paragraph breaks... formatting is important to your reputation as an
author!

* We do NOT allow links to hate sites.
* We do NOT allow links to X rated sites.
* SPAM - we simply don't want any at all.
* Your article is less than 400 - 450 words.

This is not an exhaustive
list, but it will give you some idea of our publishing
guidelines. We
strive to be a high quality resource for publishers of spiritual ezines
and spiritually related website content, not a repository
for 'le crapola' and 'le glorified classified ads'. I'm sure you can
fully understand and respect our policies and our rationales for
article acceptance or rejection! If not, then perhaps you may need to
go and post in a safelist or a free classifieds website instead of an
article directory. We do not use auto-approval
software, so each article is read and approved or rejected by a human
being with feelings and a brain. :-) |
