- Search our site for duplicate article titles - our system only allows unique article titles. In the case of duplicate titles, the older article will be shown.
Article FORMAT Guidelines
- Length restrictions -
Article title must have a maximum of 150 characters,
article body must have a maximum of 15,000 characters,
Resource box must have a maximum of 400 characters.
- Optimize your title – since all our website content is search engine optimized, your title will be the key driver of traffic to your article. In order to help us promote your article, please write a title that incorporates “keywords”, and expresses the content world of your article in the most precise way.
- A link to your website or e-mail can only be included in the article resource box, not in the article body. Any links in the article body will be erased or deactivated by us (in case we still want to publish your article). Make sure that your links are properly written, and are linked to an active NO SPAM website. We will not accept articles linking to SPAM websites.
If you wish to add a text link to your signature, please do so in HTML format:
If you wish to link a url without text, do not forget to use http:// prefix, so our system identifies the link.
- Make sure not to use the follwing list of chars in the article title: / & ^ * # @
The system does not support the above chars, and articles with titles containing any of them will make the article invisible.
- Your title must be in Upper and Lower Case Letters with the 1st letter of each major word capitalized.
- Do not end your title with a period.
- Copyrights and reprint rights must be at the bottom of your article.
- Use of HTML tags should be minimal. Submitted articles can only include the following HTML tags:
i. <strong>BOLD</strong>
ii. <u>UNDERLINE</u>
iii. <em>ITALICS</em>
iv. <pre> and </pre> for text tables.
v. <li> for bullet point lists.
vi. <blockquote>INDENT PARAGRAPH</blockquote>
vii. As noted before, active links which link to an active website can only be added to the resource box, not the article body.
All other tags will be stripped from the code.
- Free reprint articles keywords are important for your article search engine ranking, as well as free-articles-zone search mechanism. Please add a comma separated list including any keywords you think are relevant.
- Placing your article in the correct category is highly important; please look through the list of categories to make sure you choose the correct one. In case you cannot find a relevant category you may suggest one.
- Please make sure to remove any excess line breaks, especially at the end of your article – they will push the resource box downwards, and you may lose some traffic to your website.
