As the owner of several article directories it never ceases to amaze me why a lot of articles are submitted which will never get accepted. A great deal of authors obviously spend a great deal of their time writing these articles, presumably for the reason that they want to have them published, so why not go the whole way…. and make sure that they get published and stay published? We receive a huge number of new articles each day, so why would we publish those authors that do not follow a couple of simple rules? The following is a list of various explanations as to why we don’t publish an article. Articles that make the following blunders will all be deleted by article directory owners. No Full authors name: A simple request to be given the authors name often results with the author just using initials, their company name, or even a mix of both. How many times do you think we see the word “Webmaster" as the authors name. We need a name which we can associate with the article, and it has to be an article which you have written, or has been written exclusively for you! Misspelling in the title: (Check your title!) The title of an article is essential; this is how the large Search Engines like Google locate the article. Placing a badly spelt article title does nobody any good. Make certain that the title makes sense and is written in English. Duplicate titles: Get yourself a “unique” title! Donot copy someone else’s title, or change the words around. Make the title unique to you personally! You can check it with Google once you have thought of it by going to their Search area and searching like this, “My New Article Title”. If other articles already have that title then think of something different. Duplicated and badly spelt content: Do not just change the title, and then use identical content inside. This is really a sure way of having all of your articles deleted…. even the good articles will get deleted. It is so easy with auto spell checkers to ensure that your article has all of the proper spelling. Spend a small amount of time doing this, again if you don't, your article will be deleted. Short articles: An article should be informative to anyone who is reading it, and normally it would amount to around 500 words or more. A very common mistake that we discover is that numerous authors submit an article with too few words in it. Insure that it is informative and do not repeat your self. Inserting links inside the wrong areas: Most article directories let you know where it is possible to place links, and how many you can insert. Normally, these need to be placed in an area which has been specifically designed for you the Author. It is normally called the resourse box. It may be called the Authors Box etc. This is where we would like you to write something about yourself, your website/s, and that’s where you enter the link to your sites. Our directories allow up to three links here. Do not put links in either the Title of your Article, the Summary of the Article, or the Body of the Article. Selecting wrong categories: Selecting the wrong category for your article…. means that you really should not have bothered to write it! If you are searching for visitors to your site about a “Home Business” then it will do you no good at all if it is listed under the category “Home Improvements” or some other category which has nothing do with what your article is about. Do not just pick the right category, but also pick the the correct Sub-Category! The more specific you can be with your articles, as well as the categories that you use, the greater chance you have of your articles being found. Links must relate to the content: If the links that you insert into the Authors resource box are about “Travel” then ensure that your article is about “Travel”, and not to a site which is completely un-related. Mass submissions of the same or similar articles: It is [quite a} quite a common mistake to take an article and “Spin it”! What this is “supposed” to do is to enable you to submit multiple articles, all slightly different. I agree, it does change the article in a small way. However, we will delete any articles that we receive which we consider to have been “spun” in this way. We feel that it serves no useful purpose to anyone to have a lot of copies of the same or “similar” articles published. Sending an advertisement, not an article: If you want to advertise your company, or your website, then write an interesting Article that other readers will find either enjoyable or can learn from. Don’t send an Advertisement for your company or website! Sending in something like “Buy A Honda Car From Essex Motors”, will result in getting it deleted. However, if you write something interesting regarding the Honda Car, and then add your details, website etc. in the Resource Box, it will not be deleted.
