Why Was My Article Rejected?
Overview
Article marketing is a significant trend in internet marketing, serving as a key tool for traffic generation and search engine optimization. While many marketers find success, others struggle because their submissions often face rejection.
As an owner of three article directories?"one general and two niche-focused?"I receive hundreds of submissions daily, yet I also reject many. Initially, I provided detailed feedback for rejections, but the volume has grown too overwhelming. Now, my priority is speed, even though I’m still weeks behind on my general directory. However, I’m sharing some insights here to help you understand why articles are frequently rejected.
Common Reasons for Rejection
1. Active Links in the Article Body: Links should only be in the author resource box. This is a standard rule in most directories.
2. Inappropriate Content for the Directory: This is particularly true for niche directories. For instance, don’t submit a breast augmentation article to an internet promotion directory.
3. Incorrect Category Submission: While I may occasionally recategorize articles, if an author doesn’t put enough effort into choosing the right category, the article is likely to be rejected.
4. Poor English: Typos or grammatical errors, especially in the headline or summary, lead to rejection. Quality language is crucial.
5. Subject Spamming: Submitting multiple articles on the same topic with similar titles and summaries appears spammy. I don’t sort through them?"I reject them all.
6. Obscure Topics: If your article’s relevance isn’t clear from the title or introduction, it’s likely to be rejected. Ensure your topic adds value and is clearly presented.
7. Blatant Advertising: Directories are for informative articles, not press releases or pure advertisements. Focus on providing valuable content rather than pushing a product or service.
Conclusion
Ultimately, these are my directories, and I apply my editorial judgment to determine suitable content. The articles I select are those I believe will engage and inform my target audience effectively, contributing positively to my websites and blogs. If an article fails to meet these criteria, it will be rejected.
