Top Ten Reasons Your Articles Are Declined
Summary:
Article marketing is an excellent way to establish yourself as an expert in your field and gain valuable backlinks to your website. To boost your chances of publication, consider these common reasons articles are often declined.

1. ALL CAPS in the Title
Avoid writing your title in all caps. Instead, use capitalization for the first letter of each word. All caps can come across as shouting.
2. Spelling and Grammar Errors
Thoroughly proofread your work to ensure there are no spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Double-check before submitting.
3. Inappropriate Length
Aim for a word count between 500 and 700 words. Articles that are too short or too long may be rejected by most sites.
4. Formatting Issues
Be cautious of how your document is formatted. Some word processors may display characters differently, turning dashes or apostrophes into question marks. Using a text editor can help prevent these issues.
5. Excessive Links
Limit the number of links in your article. Most sites prefer you to include one or two links in the author’s resource box only.
6. Links in the Main Text
Generally, avoid placing links within the body of the article. Keep them in the resource box as most sites favor this approach.
7. Improper Use of Bold Text
Use bold text sparingly. While it’s fine for subheadings, avoid bolding links or excessive words within the article.
8. HTML Errors
Ensure your HTML is correctly formatted, especially your links. Common mistakes include using an apostrophe instead of quotation marks and not properly closing a link.
9. Confusing Content
Your article should make sense and be coherent. Avoid using automated tools that might jumble sentences or words, leading to confusion.
10. Avoid Ad-like Articles
Focus on providing valuable content related to your product or service rather than direct advertising within the article.
