4. There are a dozen of reasons why I could have chosen
not to publish your article. Without knowing which of
your articles I rejected, it is a hard call to make from
memory.
5. I own and manage more than 150 article distribution
groups. I own and manager seven websites that are
either article directories or websites that print reprint
articles. I own and manage one article distribution
service. Soon to be two services.
10. 2. Not subscribed to the group in NO Mail mode. If you
want other people to read your stuff, you should at least
demonstrate the same courtesy to others.
17. 3. No foul language, or disreputable business practices.
18. In my directories, I follow the same basic rules above. I
also follow many other internal guides.
19. * I don't want any of my sites to look just like all other
sites. So I reject some at will, based on an urge or based
on nothing.* I don't want to be a sheep who does
exactly what everyone else does.
20. * Bad formatting in article will get it rejected.* Perceived
advertising in body of article could get it rejected.*
Certain topics are generally always rejected.* If the
website listed in your resource box consists mostly of
information scraped from search engines, and if I catch
it, I will usually reject your article --- no matter how
good your article might be. I know other directory
managers who have the same policy.* All acceptance
and rejection decisions are made in just a split second.
21. Chances are that your article has been published in 90%
plus of the reprint article resources I own, primarily the
reprint article distribution lists.
22. Do you need 100% exposure across my networks? No.
23. Do you want 100% exposure across my networks?
Probably.
24. If all article directory managers accept all of the same
articles, then your article on their site will be nearly
worthless. If there are five to six sites with exactly the
same content on them, then chances are that the
spiders will eventually figure that out, and then they will
stop indexing the "mirror" sites.
25. Your article 100% across the board is the worst thing
that you can hope for. On the surface, it may seem good,
because you have that many more links. But, these
"mirror" sites with 100% the same content will come
back to bite you in the arse. They will hurt your SEO
rankings in the end, because these sites will be
penalized by the search engines, AND the articles on
those sites may be hurt as well.
26. I am happy to reject articles "at will" on my free article
directories, because I definitely do not want to be seen
as exactly like another 30 article directories.
27. Let's face it, few article directory websites are the same.
Some are simply better than others and they are
recognized as such by the general internet community.
28. The site where you are complaining your article "was
not included" is a new directory with little recognition in
the marketplace. I set it up to test out and play with its
article directory software.
29. When we get to the end of the day, each article
directory or website that hosts articles is part of a
democracy. The webmaster can accept your articles or
reject your articles. It is up to you to provide an article
that the webmaster will want to use on his or her
website. This business about expecting people to use
your articles is totally off-base, and could net you the
result of being forever barred from participation in the
offended webmaster's website.
