You are about to share your article with the
world wide internet in a new way. We know that you wish
to share your article with as many viewers as possible. One way to do
this is to provide the search engines with as much help finding your article
as
possible. We hope you have done
everything you can to your article to provide keyword rich content. As
you know this is a key component. We list your article by a keyword
phrase and append the phrase to the beginning of your article. This
does not change the article but gives the search engines a good indication
of the information contained within it. This is not done to trick the
search engines. It helps provide them information used to list the
article in the correct category. We also provide an RSS feed that will
contain your article name and a link that can be used by news readers and
sites like Yahoo and MSN. We will be concentrating articles under
categories as well as keyword phrases. This will develop an authority
status through time with the search engines and in turn will bring more
viewers to your article. If you have an MSN or Yahoo account, it will
help get word of your article out by including one of our RSS feeds on your
home page.

be pulled! Use your full name (first & last) and do not use an initial as
your last name. Remember the name you use as it is entered and add any
future articles with the same name. Your articles will be
grouped together in this manner and will allow the viewer to read other

with information on your article and or options available to you from this
site. Your E-mail address will not be shown or available to the

The title of your article is
the most
important part of an article yet it is
often overlooked. Search engines use the title of your article to help
them determine the subject of your article. Keywords in your article title
often put your article closer to the top of the search results. Many
times
the title is the only thing that someone using the search engines may see.
You want to use a title that will capture their attention in the split
second that they view your line of the search results. Look at the
difference in theses titles. "Make money spraying numbers" or
"Start a home based business painting address numbers on curbs". The
first title is catchy but you may be found at position 5000 on make money
you would not get any help with spraying numbers.
Using the second title will give you the opportunity to be listed with
home based business, address numbers, starting a home based
business and painting address numbers. The second title
also does a much better job of describing the article.
We do not accept article titles with double quotes or html tags. If
you need to use quotes please us single quotes instead.
We do not
accept articles that offend or degrade others or are of an immoral or
illegal nature.

We do not force you to use our copyright or
use requirements. Although you are required to allow others to copy
and distribute your article, you must stipulate under what conditions.
You may want people to send you a copy or keep your links "click able".
You may also include any of your requirements here. Please do not paste
your information directly from your composition program such as Microsoft
Word or others. Paste your information into Notepad or any text editor
first, then copy and paste them into the following text box. We have
also added two fields to allow you to put a text link in the copyright
section. A text link is an active link something like "Come see my
website" that takes the viewer to your website address or a special
page in your website. This is a very good way to send PR to your web
page.

When we list the articles available from the
keyword selection on our main page we give a brief description of the
article. Sometimes it is just the first 2 lines of the article however
you may want to write your own description. Once again you need to use
this to grab the viewer and tell them why they should read your article.
This may be your last chance.
You are not allowed to use html tags in this section. Any entered will
be removed. Please do not use double quotes and substitute single
quotes instead. Please do not paste your information directly from
your composition program such as Microsoft Word or others. Paste your
information into Notepad or any text editor first, then copy and past it
into the following text box.
First two lines of your article or a description of your article:
*
Max. length = 200 characters.

Review your body of text one more time
before pasting it into the following textbox. Most search engine
optimization companies suggest the search engines like you to have a minimum
of 300 words and somewhere between one and two thousand words seem to be the
optimum. The same experts recommend five to eight percent of your
characters should include your keywords or keyword phrase. If you have
1000 characters that means you should have 50 to 80 characters of keywords
or keyword phrases in the article. If you have a long keyword or
phrase you may only have it appear in your article three to four times.
If you have a small keyword it would need to appear many more times.
Please do not submit your article formatted to a predetermined width with
"hard returns", We will attempt to automatically reformat your article
that has been formatted by hard returns and most of the time will get it
right but you may not like the results. The best way of providing each
paragraph is as in one continuous line of text. Please do not paste
your information directly from your composition program such as Microsoft
Word or others. Paste your information into Notepad or any text editor
first, then copy and paste it into the following text box. We remove
all html tags used in your text body. We will make your http: links
active automatically. If you have e-mail addresses in your text they
will also be converted to active links. (We suggest that you do not put your
e-mail address in your article.) Your article must be informative and
not just a sales pitch. We will not approve your article if it is a
sales pitch or a "doorway" for your affiliate. The search engines will
remove your listing status if you use doorway pages and we will too!
We want this site to be an exchange of information.....relevant information.
We also ask that you do not do what we just did. Please do not use
redundant punctuation in your article. It will confuse the automatic
re-formatter and give your page a strange look.
