Hello,
Glad to be here. I have recently joined and had my first two articles accepted without a hitch, so I'm excited.
I have an article I want to submit soon for relationships. I thought that it was strange that in the categories there is one for divorce but not one
for marriage. I did see there is one for dating and one for family, but some ideas like mine I think would fit more specifically in marriage than family.
Do most people post those kind of spouse related articles under family?

A second question is: Can an article be posted only in more than one catergories as some topics would overlap?

I have browsed the boards some and everyone seems to be helpful. Thanks in advace.

Hallo, I haven't found a way of placing articles in more than one category, I think you just have to plump for one, though it would be useful to be able to use a couple. I sometimes have similar dilemmas about where to put things: I suppose you need to opt for the category that seems to be most popular. You can put keywords in the submission form, and then I think your article pops up when someone searches that word, but I am not sure how many buyers search that way, as the 'most common' keywords often seem random and don't change very fast!

I appreciate your response. I still think that there should be a marriage caterory if there is a divorce catergory. I suppose I could such and article in family and then use marriage keywords.
Thanks again for you help.

I would suggest making the category "Marriage and Divorce", as the latter cannot be had without the former and most "Marriage" articles I've seen are about avoiding divorce.

I am glad to hear that about the articles you've seen. I also think you make a great point and I agree with your suggestion. It would be better to call it marriage and divorce and it might even increase article sales.
