Re: Sheesh!

No problem. There is a TON of misinformation about SEO out there, and the only real place to get the facts from google employees (Matt Cutts posts there too) is on their webmaster forums. The people who are purchasing articles here are doing it the right way 100%.....that is, at least they are going...

Re: Is it just me?

That's interesting. hmmm, you're sure that the articles are fully your typing, even the stuff you haven't copied into the sample textbox? My other thought is did this article that is yours sell for use? Maybe they are buying for use and posting it elsewhere? Honestly, for some of the prices authors ...

Re: Sheesh!

It's for search engine optimization (SEO). Googlebot loves unique, fresh content. Googlebot also loves linkbacks. However, having the same article plastered over hundreds of domains with the same text devalues the linkback. So, users need new writing constantly, which is where we come in yayyyy. Ord...

Re: First Article submitted Go rejected

Hey libby,

Yeah, I need to basically setup my file format every time. I don't want to change it permanently since docx > doc. :P

LOL

Thank you though. I used to get rejections on elance because potential clients couldn't open docx, so I understand the need to keep it as a doc.

Re: YAY!!!!!!! My Article Got Accepted

No problema, chica. I should have applied some of my criticism to one of my own articles so it wouldn't get rejected. :P

Grats man!

Re: First Article submitted Go rejected

oh yeah, duh. I skimmed through the rejection reason and read it as "file format does not meet guidelines."

Forget my post. Read Celeste's.

Re: First Article submitted Go rejected

Sategroup, Here's the basic setup when you open your Word document: Set the font to 12pt arial Set the paragraph spacing to 1.0 Make sure to double space between paragraphs and headings. Make sure to do "Save as" and save the file as a .doc if you are using Word 2007. I use Word 2007, so I...

Re: Some Grammar queries after rejected article

Ok, let's see if I can help. Be warned. I haven't had anyyyyy coffee yet and my dog is in play mode. LOL 1. This sentence is a little clunky since you have "paid e-book reader can read this e-book" reader+read makes it sound redundant. I think a rearrange of the sentence might be better. a...

Re: Rejection of Article

Hello broteen, I'm happy to review the article if you'd like to PM it to me. My suggestion is not to submit it a third time if you haven't changed anything. Some common reasons for rejections (from my own experience and reading others' work): 1) passive voice...watch passive verbs. Most of the time,...

Re: How do I add my bio to my profile?

hehe, that is my problem. It was hard adding my profile. Are you using firefox too? I never tried to switch browsers to see if it worked in IE.

I did a clever little stealth typing in the text box, but I could only see one line at a time.
