SEO Article Submission Techniques – How to Save Your Articles from Rejection
One of the most annoying things that can happen when doing article marketing is getting your articles rejected. The thought of wasting my time in rewriting and resubmitting my articles doesn’t sit well with me. The good thing is, there are certain techniques that you can do to make sure that it will not happen. These are the following:
- Ensure that they are 100% unique. Article directories will not accept your articles if they were copied (even just part of them) from other online resources. These directories are using sophisticated anti-content duplication tools so they can easily figure out if your articles are 100% unique or not. My suggestion is that, you write your articles using your own words. Avoid rehashing or rephrasing similar articles that you see online. Then, test the originality of your articles using copyscape.
- Length and quality. Publishers will surely accept your articles if they are at least 300 words long and if they are of high quality. Keep in mind that these publishers are committed in giving their visitors (online users) nothing but the best. So, offer them articles that are simply impressive. Ensure that your copies are well-written, very informative, engaging and interesting to read, and free from any type of error.
- Resource box. Article directories will allow you to talk about your products and your website through your resource box. Just make sure that you do not overdo it. Your resource box must not contain more than 5 sentences and it must not contain more than 3 links. Check the links that you’re using and ensure that they will take your readers to the appropriate web page before you click that submit button.
- Avoid using article submission software. Publishers have strict rules against spamming. They get suspicious when an author submits too many articles within a specific period of time. To avoid this from happening, I suggest that you manually distribute your articles. Also, try to submit only 3-5 articles per day.
- No blatant ads or links on your article body. Avoid talking about yourself, your website, or your products in your article body. As a contributor, the publishers expect you to offer good content and lots of information to their readers. Focus on giving your audience great value. Offer them with useful content and help them solve their pressing issues or help them improve the quality of their lives. After that, you can pitch in what you offer on your author or resource box.
- No to keyword abuse. Avoid using to many keywords on each of your articles. The acceptable keyword density of most article directories right now is 2% of your article word count. Stick to that if you don’t want your articles to get rejected in a heartbeat. Instead of using the same keywords over and over again, I would recommend that you use different words that carry the same meaning.
