Submission Guidelines
Article Submission is FREE.
All submissions are welcome. Each submission will be viewed by one of our editorial staff. The editor will determine whether or not your submitted article meets our standards for content, writing quality, and adherence to our editorial policies. We reserve the right to deny publication of any article which, in the sole opinion of our editor, is not appropriate for our directory. If your article is of high quality but simply needs some tweaking to be acceptable, our editor will suggest changes and you may re-submit. We cannot, however, edit your work or give you specific reasons why your work was denied.
Your article should written in English for publication to English speaking/reading countries.
Don't use pornography or say something against the law. We simply won't publish it.
We reserve the right to place your article in a different category than you selected... if our editor believes it to be a more appropriate category or sub-category for your article.
Expect to hear from the editor from time to time. If something affects you as a writer, or if there are technical changes, maybe something in the 'Terms of Service' or these guidelines that affects everyone was recently added ... you'll want to know. Your email address will never be given to ANYONE.
Here are several DO NOT DO items to keep in mind when submitting articles:
(Articles which do not conform to all of our guidelines will be automatically declined.)
Do not use ALL CAPS in your headlines. User upper and lower case only.
Do not repeat the title of your article in the body section of the submission form. This will be automatically declined.
Do not put affiliate links or link backs to your own sites in the body of the article. Affiliate links and link backs to your own sites are only allowed in the About the Author section.
Do not put any author contact information or details in the body of the article. Again, only use the About the Author section for this information.
Do not write a sales pitch. Only articles which contain quality, useable, content will be approved. Remember, the main goal of your article marketing campaign is to be picked up by other webmasters for reprint. So create useful copy and watch your links soar!
Do not use imbedded links in the body of an article... if you are linking out to a resource then put the full url with full "http:" protocol. NO html links in the article body will be allowed.
Do not use imbedded links in the About the Autor section. Use only full url's with the full "http:" protocol. This is the area to use html or the link will not be live. The non use of embedded links is for your benefit. If someone prints the article "Dog Training" will NOT bring them back to your site, but www.yoursite.com will.
Here are some things you will WANT TO DO to improve your article marketing...
Use only full "http:" protocol urls.
Make an offer to readers to respond to in your bio. Example: free newsletter, free white paper, more information, etc. Give them a reason to click over to you.
You are allowed up to three (3) live links in the About the Author section... use them.
Code all your links to open to a new browser window. This leaves your article open for reference.
Submit more articles... Remember: More links on more websites means more exposure for your website.
Enjoy writing what you know about, are passionate about, and want to share with others!
