Ways To Avoid Getting Your Articles Deleted.

As the owner of several article directories it never ceases to amaze me why so many articles are submitted which will never get accepted. Many authors obviously spend a lot of their time writing these articles, presumably for the reason where they want to get them published, so why don't you go the full way…. and ensure 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 don’t follow a few simple rules?

This is a list of assorted 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:

An easy request to be given the authors name often results with the author just using initials, their company name, or even a mixture of both. How many times do you think we see the word “Webmaster" for the authors name. We need a name which we can associate with the article, and it has to be an article that you have written, or has been written exclusively for yourself!

Misspelling within the title: (Check your title!)

The title of an article is essential; it is how the large Search Engines like Google find the article. Placing a badly spelt article title does nobody any good. Make sure 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 are able to check it with Google once you’ve considered it by going to their Search area and searching like this, “My New Article Title�. If other articles have already got that title then think about something different.

Duplicated and badly spelt content:

Do not just change the title, and then use the same content inside. This is a definite way of having all of your articles deleted…. even the good articles will get deleted. It is so easy with auto spell checkers to check that your article has all of the correct spelling. Spend a small amount of time doing this, again if you don't, your article will get deleted.

Short articles:

An article needs to be informative to anyone who is reading it, and normally it would amount to around 500 words or more. A common mistake that we find is that lots of authors submit an article with too few words in it. Insure that it is informative and donot repeat your self.

Inserting links in the wrong areas:

Most article directories let you know where you can place links, and how many you can insert. Normally, these must be placed in a place 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 this is where you enter the link to your sites. Our directories allow as much as three links here. Do not put links in either the Title of the Article, the Summary of your Article, or the Body of your 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 looking 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 that has nothing do with what your article is about. Do not just pick the appropriate category, but also pick the the right Sub-Category! The more specific you are with your articles, as well as the categories that you use, the better 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 a typical mistake to adopt an article and “Spin it�! What this is “supposed� to do is usually 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 advert, not an article:

If you want to advertise your company, or your website, then write an interesting Article which other readers will find either enjoyable or can learn from. Do not 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, after which you can add your details, website etc. in the Resource Box, it will not be deleted.
