Many of you have written in telling me that you’ve started, or are planning to start, article marketing campaigns since my post here entitled How to Increase Ebook Sales with an Article Marketing Blitz.
That being the case, I thought this was a good time to write a post on article marketing no no’s. This will save you a lot of time and headaches as you start submitting to various directories.
For the record, the five directories I submit to most often are EzineArticles, IdeaMarketers, Buzzle, Amazines and ArticleDashboard. I also submit to AssociatedContent (AC), which is technically not an article directory, but is a great way to get some search engine juice.
Moneymaking Tip: I submit to AC for two reasons, ie, (i) I have close to 600 articles there and earn passive income on them every month; and (ii) I have 127 subscribers to date. Hence, I feel obligated to keep them in my content loop as they’re loyal readers.
Now, on to the article marketing no no’s.
3 Article Marketing Submission Tactics to Avoid
Don’t submit porn, hate material, etc.: This is obvious, but I just wanted to throw it out there. I don’t know of any directories that accept this kind of material.
No bold tags around links: One of my articles submitted to ArticleDashboard got flagged because I placed a bold tag around a link. Even though this was in the resource box section, it still got flagged. I don’t know how many other article marketing directories have this rule, but just to be on the safe side, don’t do it.
Linking to your site in the body of the article: Most article directories have a limit to the number of what they term “self-serving links” you can place in your article. For example, at EzineArticles, it’s two. I recently received the following note from them about one of my articles:
We do not accept articles that contain more than 2 self-serving active or inactive links. Please edit your article, removing any links in excess of this, and resubmit for Editorial Review.
I had two links in the resource box, and one in the body of the article. I thought that I could not have more than two in just the resource box. Apparently, an article can only have two links overall (including the resource box).
This rule varies from directory to directory. If you want your submission process to go faster, as a general rule, just put two links in the resource box and NONE in the body of the article.
FYI, IdeaMarketers seems to be the most liberal in their linking policy – you can include links in the body of the article and in the resource box. And, your article is published immediately there. Many directories have a review policy that prevents immediate publishing. Even though IdeaMarketers doesn’t, this directory has a very good repository of professional articles.
More Article Marketing Tactics to Avoid
There are many, many more article marketing tactics to avoid. I listed these three because they’re the ones that trip me up most often (well, not the first one, but the other two).
Each directory lists their guidelines, but as they’re so extensive, it can be difficult to remember what works for some as opposed to others. Once you submit to each article directory a few times, you’ll start to get an idea of what is permitted and what isn’t.
About Article Marketing Directory Submission Software
There is article directory submission software you can use to automate the article submission process. I’ve never used any of it. I manually submit my articles, as I only use a handful of directories. As article marketing is working so well though even with just a few, submission software is something I’m looking to purchase once the busy fall season rolls around.








How often do you submit articles to you 5 directories?
Alex, I submit 3 to 5 times a week.
That is alot of articles in each week but i can do it i guess. I have read the line: "I earned passive income on them every month". Can you explain further about this thing?
Thank you

Thank you for posting .please do more good article.it's so cool
And do you submit the same article to all 5 directories? I ask because I recently saw your post from a few months ago about you boosting your ebook sales just through article marketing, and I am doing a similar "challenge" for myself right now.
I think Associated Content has the nofollow tag on their links.
Hello,
Article Marketing is an important part in web promotion or marketing. It has helped me a lot. Submitting your articles to High PR Top Article Dir are great for your websites.
Jacob.
This is excellent advice.
ezinearticles.com in particular is verrrry picky about how you do things, but then they are the best.
Another thing article directories hate is when people try to lightly rewrite an already published article and change the keyword, its a great way to get your accounts banned! If you are rewriting your submitted and published articles do a 100% re write off them.
I think another aspect in article marketing+submitting to multiple directories is the fact that you can create multiple resources of traffic your website. Yes, it may be 3 from this site and 4 from that site but at the end of the day – it all adds up.
Nothing compares to ezinearticles. But here is a great list…

In my opinion Article Marketing is the great way to get top search engine positions & to get good traffic. i use it for promoting my websites.
I have never even heard of Article Marketing before. I'm glad I found your site.
Thanks for all of this vital information.
As I continue to read and learn, I've found that there are unethical practices out there. I now look at every marketing service with a cautious eye.
Hi, is there anyone here that has got some good results using an article marketing directory submission software? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!
