ArticleSnatch Submission Guidelines The rules for submitting your articles to ArticleSnatch are simple, but they must be followed! You may not submit articles written by other authors and the content must be unique. No rebranded articles allowed, you must be the sole copyright holder for each article you submit. Articles written by a ghost writer are perfectly acceptable as long as they are being used only by yourself. This means NO PLR articles, no articles sold to several sites, no articles that say the same thing as your last article but you paraphrased it, no content that has been "rewritten" from something that you didn't write. We may publish your article anywhere on our website, blog, or syndicate through RSS. We may also change where it appears, including the category, at any time. Other ArticleSnatch users have the right to publish your articles on their websites, in their newsletters or ezines, and more as long as the article is left in the original state. This includes the resource box which provides you credit as the author of the content. Your article submissions should include a resource box. We allow up to 500 characters including html in the resource box and we allow up to 3 active links in the resource box. For best performance - you should use the better part of the 500 characters, a longer resource box helps readers learn more than a short one line resource box, or worse, just a link. Please do not waste your time submitting resource boxes that do not meet this criteria. We will edit them and remove all links after the first 3. We do allow a reasonable number ofactive hyperlinks in the text of the article body, but they will always have the nofollow tag on them. Prior to this we didn't allow links in the body of the article at all. In the future we may review this policy and remove the nofollow - which would be done retroactively. A reasonable number of links is about 1 link per 100 words of content. Links should be helpful to the reader. Keep the reader in mind first and foremost. The articles that you submit to ArticleSnatch should not contain affiliate links. It is acceptable, however, to mention the URL's of helpful sites or your own website which redirects to the recommended affiliate product. Articles can not contain links to explicit content or contain explicit content themselves - authors found violating this policy on a regular basis are subject to having their accounts closed at any time and their articles removed from this site. This includes linking to things that are illegal in the United States of America. This includes but it is not limited to sales of trademark infringing items, knock offs, boot legs, internet gambling, wagering, online pharmacies, drugs, adult services, material that you should be 18 to see, etc. If you have a question, email us first. We currently do not pay any compensation for articles you submit. In the future we might work out a revenue sharing plan, but the details and logistics of such plan have not yet been worked out. We reserve the right to reject an article submission for any reason, normally well written, well thought out articles are accepted. However spam and generally poorly written articles are removed on a regular basis. Do not submit articles filled with spelling errors and bad grammar. We do monitor article submissions and we will reject content that doesn't meet this requirement. Anyone found abusing this directory, stuffing articles with links, and repeatedly violating our policies - may find their accounts closed and articles deleted. After you have submitted 10 articles, please email us and include a link to an article or your email address that your account is under. We will review the account and we will be happy to remove any nofollow tags from the resource box, assuming you are linking to quality sites and writing quality articles. There are numerous posts on our blog in regards to why we have this policy but it is for everyone's benefit. It provides a layer of protection from malicious spammers. It should go without saying that articles should be of decent size, otherwise they are merely sales pitches and not very useful for the reader. Think of the reader first and foremost. Always put the reader first. Articles less than about 300 words are automatically blocked without review. Here are a few guides with some good tips, there are likely others out there.

Please note that the system does auto-email you when you submission is accepted (once per day with a summary of accepted articles). Submissions are usually accepted within 1 hour. Modified articles are sent to a separate queue for review and are taken off line as soon as you modify them. These articles are typically off line for up to 1 business day, depending on volume. |
