Article Submission Guidelines


Article Rampage (www.ArticleRampage.com), hereinafter referred to as AR, requires NO FEE'S EVER for article submission, approval or distribution to other publishers.

While AR understands, supports, condones and encourages Article Marketing, we have established Guidelines for Authors to adhere to in an effort to offer articles to Publishers and readers that are well written and informative but not blatant advertising.

Please read ALL or the following Article Submission Guidelines completely. Understanding and adhering to the AR Article Submission Guidelines will insure the acceptance and sting of your article in the AR Article Directory.
 

Article Rampage Article Submission Guidelines:

Authors submitting articles to AR for approval to be added to the AR directory will not be compensated in any way, for the writing or submitting of any article.

All author's will reserve and retain all copy right to their articles.

Author's are only permitted to submit an article to one category. If you don't see a category listed you feel is most appropriate for the subject matter of your article, send an email to: Request@ArticleRampage.com please leave the selected "AR Category Request" subject line intact. Normally we approve all reasonable new Category and Sub-Category's, and notify you of their availability by return email. AR will reply to your email within 2 business days with our decision.

AR reserve the right to publish your articles anywhere on our web site, blog or syndicate through RSS Feeds. Other AR users have the right to publish your articles on their web sites, in their newsletters or ezines, and more as long as the article is left in the original state including the information in your Resource Box giving you credit as author, and any links within the article or Resource Box.

All articles submitted by you must be written/authored by you. WE DO NOT ACCEPT REPRINTED ARTICLES WRITTEN BY OTHER AUTHORS. Due to authors abusing this rule we have now added the following outcome > Anyone submitting reprinted articles that you did not write will have their accounts deactivated immediately and all submitted articles deleted.  Also please be aware Plagiarism (signing your name to someone else's article) will not be tolerated. Plagiarist will be banned without recourse. Anyone proven guilty of copyright infringement will have their AR account closed, all articles removed from the directory and be banned for life. We do track IP addresses.

Your article should serve to educate and inform rather than just serve as a promotional piece. Include How To's, Tips, Strategies, Techniques, Case-studies, Analysis, Opinions and/or Commentary in your articles from your own experience.

Naturally, AR is looking for QUALITY articles with content that is informational well thought out. Articles with grammar or spelling errors will be rejected. Formatting will be covered below.

Article Submission does NOT mean your article will be automatically accepted and listed in the AR Article Directory. AR has the sole authority to except or reject any article. As long as your article meets the requirements in these guidelines, your article will be accepted. However, if your article is not up to the general standards of our guidelines, AR will indicate the reason for rejection in your rejection email notice.

If your article is rejected, you can resubmit your article 2 additional times only, with errors corrected for approval. If errors are not corrected in the 3rd submission, it will not be reconsidered for approval again.

Spamming of this directory will not be tolerated; Submitting multiple copies, (2 or more), of the same article using different Titles, or with only slight modifications is strictly forbidden. Offenders will have their articles deleted, account terminated and be banned from future submissions.

Offensive content will be cause for immediate account termination. Articles must not promote hate, racism, pornography, hacking, bomb building, terrorism and other illegal and/or offensive activities.

While direct affiliate links will NOT be tolerated, you are allowed to have links to pages on your domain that redirect to your affiliate program. NO Pop-Ups Allowed, NO Java Scripting Allowed. NO "Promotional" links are allowed in the Title, Summary or Body of your article. However, Resource and Source Credit links, Up to a maximum of 3 "Source" links, (links to a third party work you are referencing for credibility), in the body of your article ARE allowed.


 Web site Active/Inactive links / Anchors / URL's:

Download links are STRICTLY Forbidden. No direct links to any type of digital download are allowed.

. AR does not accept articles that have the same ACTIVE link more than once. Do not submit duplicate identical URLs.

AR does not knowingly allow any URLs in any of our articles that are banned by Google or if your web site engages in questionable SEO practices -- AR may reject your articles.

AR does not auto format URL's that are in the BODY of your article.

AR does not allow active links in the first sentence, first paragraph or above the fold of an article.

AR does not allow articles which have strategic keyword anchor text links in the body to your domain that do not add informational value to the article. Any use of anchored text links to web sites that you own shod add value to the article topic rather than stand out as an obvious abuse an anchored text link. The goal with this policy is to be a good net citizen by only allowing articles that add value with the anchored text links rather than purely for SEO reasons.

Example: Within your article, you link the word "bird dog" to an article that you wrote about bird dogging. This is a good example of an anchored text link vs. linking the same text to your home page as it doesn't really add informational value.

AR will not accept articles with links (in the Article Body or Resource Box) to adult oriented web sites, including but not limited to web sites that include nudity, pornography, adult-oriented shopping sites and adult-oriented sexual content or any other potentially offensive or illegal content promoting hate, racism, hacking, bomb building, terrorism or any other illegal and/or offensive activities.

EMAIL LINKS: We highly recommend including a link to your web site in the Resource Box, but do not advocate including a mailto: or email link to your personal or work email account. Spammers will abuse it. Better to just include a web site URL and let potential customers find your email address on your web site.
