    Yeah, write good articles! I never had any problems having my articles accepted. Although I do write articles about something that I know a lot about.

    secrets are so overrated these days, just make sure you write good articles and that you make them useful.
    Also try not to submit short articles.

    You might also watch out for using too many URL's in your article. This is another common reason for immediate rejection.

    Also Axecity: If you d/l the SEO Elite program, it comes with a list of directories to auto-submit to. I'm not shilling for SEO Elite or anything, but I know our article submitter uses it alot, and it comes with a free trial.

    For Ezinearticles all you need to do is make sure you follow the editorial guidelines and they approve every article.

    - Make sure it's unique

    - Don't put links in the top paragraphs

    - Don't promote anything unethical

    - Make sure you're offering advice/information and not a sales pitch

    300+ words.

    That'll about do it plus few more guidelines which I don't know off hand though.

    That's what I was going to say. If you are including links in every article, you may want to write some without the links and reserve that for the bio box. See how that works.

    Another good point is not to be too biased in your opinion. I wrote something quite negative and it was considered slander.

    Hey -

    Write quality articles is the answer. I've never had any problems with submissions or acceptance either. I think the reason why yours were rejected is because it was too obvious that you were filling them with hyperlinks or keywords. I think we'd all be interested to see some of your rejects.

    Check your keyword percentages...have you seen the articles? You have answered over 1,000 questions on this forum - I'm actually shocked that you don't know what the problem is...so maybe it IS something bigger. Where are those rejected articles?

    Good Luck.

    Also sometimes people make the mistake of concentrating on getting in the keywords too often and the content of the article suffers. If it's good quality information and not simply an ad for something and not too short or too long (400-600) words, there shouldn't be a problem.

    You need be creative and write "around" your topic. For example, I rarely write about online dating directly anymore because THAT is hard to get accepted. Instead I write about uploading a good picture in your profile or how to effectively email hot babes at a dating site. If it is something that the editors haven't seen a million times it has a better chance of getting accepted.
