Why do my newly written and submitted articles get rejected or declined by article directories? 

Lets stop this non-sense and prevent your inbox from filling up with annoying emails saying your article is rejected or declined.

Learn how to get your articles accepted and published before you waste anymore time. Keep reading to answer the question that all article marketers ask "Why Do My Articles Get Rejected or Declined?".

This is a common problem that plagues article marketers everyday. No matter how upset you may be getting do not get discouraged. It happens to the best article marketers and most likely is very easy to fix. You just need to learn what you are doing wrong to get your article published by more article directories.

For starters you have to become familiar with the article guidelines at each article directory you submit too. If you do not abide by their rules your article will be rejected. Once you think you see what most article directories expect take a another look at your article.  Do you see anything that needs fixing?

Take your time and proofread for spelling and grammar mistakes. I always like to have a friend proof read my article. They always find mistakes I don't see. Sometimes they even see ways I can re-structure my sentences and wording to make it easier to understand and read. For example, a paragraph may make perfect sense to you or me, but to an outsider it can be confusing.

I am going to give you the advantage by letting you look through the eyes of an actual article directory publisher.  I have worked at and on article directories for over 5 years and have seen just about everything.

When I review articles to publish at my article directory I ask myself these questions:

1. Does the article target the correct niche?

Time after time authors will submit their article to the wrong category or a top level category.  The only time you should submit to a top level category is when there is not a second level category that your article relates to.  You should also pay attention to the directories you submit to because ther are several directories that are niche related.  For instance you don't want to submit a parenting article to a Wedding Article Directory. 

2. Is the article title formated correctly?

Most article directories want you to use proper title case. This means you need to capitalize the first letter in each word, however do not write the entire title in caps.  For example; Incorrect"HOW TO GET MY ARTICLE PUBLISHED" Correct "How to Get My Article Published".  Most directories do not require you to capitalize words like to, if or at.

3. Is the article unique?

I like publishing unique content meaning that it is different than other published articles about the same topic. Find new facts to write about and add your own educated opionions.  Many people get PLR Articles and change a few words and move sentences around.  That is not a unique article.

4. Does the article read like an advertisement?

Do not make a sales picth about a service or product into an article. If the article is about a product give raw facts about the product. Writing an advertising article will just waste your time and kill your business. You should only give your website, product or service info in the resource box. You can also give offer bonuses in your resource box to entice readers to visit your website.

5. Does the article educate by providing quality information?

Always provide raw uncut facts in your article.  People are reading your article to learn about the topic.  Your article should educate the reader and provide useful information.

6. Are there any miss-spelled words?

Articles that have several miss-spelled words will drive people crazy.  They will loose respect for the directory they found the article at and will go somewhere else for the information they are looking for.  Therefore articles with miss-spelled words will always get deleted or rejected. Spell check it your friend.

7. Is the article formatted correctly?

Your article should always be at least 500-750 words long. This should satisfy most article directories.  Be sure to use 3-5 sentence paragraphs with one line break between paragraphs.  I receive articles that are 1 long paragraph and others have several line breaks between paragraphs causing them to get declined.

8. Do the links in the resource box meet my requirements?

I do not allow authors to use affiliate links in the resource box.  If you are promoting an affiliate program you should provide a link to an article on your website that links to the affiliate program you are promoting. I can not stress this enough, make sure your links work and try not to use a link that redirects to another site. Many readers find it deceiving to click on links that redirect to a different site.

If you think about these questions while writing and submitting articles you will get more articles accepted and published.

Always make sure you become familiar with each article directory's article guidelines. One site may allow you to do this, while the next will not. If you are persistent you will find a happy medium that works for every site you submit articles too.
