Re: One more doubt: please help!

usually some small hint is given as to your error. I understand, however, that the editor stops at the first error, which will mean he hasn't checked the entire article.

Re: keywords

Don't call yourself "stupid" !!!! We don't think you are. It is a matter of upgrading learning and experience, which is ongoing. As far as keywords, some clients (on other sites) ask for something like 5% concentration. It is hard to achieve 5% and write a good article, especially if it is...

Re: What is Wrong with this Sentence?

How about: A cost-effective link building strategy is to take advantage of free article marketing websites. Pet peeve alert: I hate the word "utilize" - especial when "use" will do just fine. But that's just me :) The article was about using "Article Marketing" to prom...

The article was about using "Articles" to promote yourself and this sentence is introducing how and where you can put your articles.

Re: What is Wrong with this Sentence?

I both agree and disagree with the comments on use or utilize. I like the word utilize when it is referring to a "tool" like a useful tool like when suggesting a tool to use in building traffic in the virtual world. How about this: you can "use" the gym at the YMCA (to me this im...

When they request 100-250 words

When a client requests articles of only 100-250 words, isn't it taken for granted the article will seem a little vague?

I've had rejections based on my theme not being developed enough, but if that's what the client wants shouldn't he decide?

What is Wrong with this Sentence?

A cost efficient way to have multiple articles online that contain links back to your site is to utilize one of the many websites that post articles for free."

Re: Spammy stuff

I'm working on my son's computer since mine is down. I just realized he had some search type of program-thingy installed that creates links. Once I removed the program the links disappeared, so apparently it WAS only my computer.

List of Recent Requests

I don't know if I'm missing something, if so let me know. When I want to go back and review a request I recalled seeing, and go to the "recent requests" list, what it shows in the subject line is of no help. For instance, I want to review the request for the article on "happiness"...

Spammy stuff

Is anyone else seeing spammy stuff? I noticed someone had put a link put on the word "career" in one of my topic sections. I am also seeing spam links on words like "bet" or "slot" and so on.

Is this going on all over or just my computer?

Re: Tips for newbies?

If I'm not mistaken the rule is you are to have 3 approved before submitting more. While you're waiting it would be a good time to draft & edit more articles so when you get the go ahead you have more to submit. It's always good to wait a day or two to re-edit an article before submitting anyhow...
