Article marketing - article verification process - is it strict?

    I been posting quality material in my blog and I am wondering if I can turn those posts into articles?

    If so, should I change anything when I am submitting those posts and turning them into articles?

    What is the verification process? Is it very strict?

    If I would like to submit to top 20 directories. Is it enough just to change the title and keep other content the same to have a success?

    Also how long it takes most of the time to get approved?

    Any high PR5+ article directories where you get instant approval?

    Thank you

    When you submit your article to article directories, the best would be if the articles were unique. If articles are unique, they provide more link juice. It could be pretty hard to write a lot of articles, but try re-writing articles. It's pretty easy. Simply switch words in your article, and do a few changes. It's not hard at all.

    The verification process is very strict when it comes to links. If you place a link to a website far up in your article - it will get rejected. Place a link in the bottom. It takes about 3 days - one week to get approved. There are no article directories where you get an instant approval, but creating your own Squidoo Lens or Hubpage is pretty good.


    Stop running up your post count.

    No, don't worry,if your articles are quality then no problem. All articles will be publish.its a process to stop spamming, duplicate content submission in reputed articles directories for example EzineArticles directory.

    As long as you don't write the article exactly the same, then it's okay. but I would recommend making your article more unique.

    For example...

    Say in your blog post you talk about one particular no-no in poker that you should never ever do. Well, in an article directory you can talk about 5 things you should never do in poker. Or maybe you can elaborate on the one thing you should never do in poker and why.

    They call this "re-purposing" your articles. You can also look for content on other blogs or article related to your topic and then give your rendition of the subject. Why you agree or not agree with said subject.

    As long as it's written by you and not copied word for word, it is considered original.

    Squidoo, hubpages and other article hubs are good.

    Depends. Some sites are instant post with no review. Others can take a week or more. Most are pretty easy. I suspect they are just doing a quick screening for obvious trash.

    For better results, just rewrite the content a little here and there so that it looks unique. Then it wont be a problem even if it has already been posted in a blog. Some sites check for duplicate content, whether already published or not, some dont.

    They aren't _too_ bad. You should make as many changes as you can to make each article unique.

    You need to 'spin' your articles to make them unique again. There are programs out there that will do that for yoiu saving you hours of time. Like picking a key word in the article like 'credit card' and replacing it with a variety of random alternatives like 'bank card, charge card, debit card' etc.

    You can post on places like http://articlesplus.info without too many hassles. But the larger directories have different rules. Some allow you to get a % of ad revenue. Good luck.

    IMO, you're best off just manually re-writing them if you want people to actually read the articles and click back to your site. Ezinearticles is probably the strictest of the sites as of late, but as long as your articles aren't junk or blatant sales pitches, you should be fine. On the other hand, Goarticles.com approves articles instantly and you can place a couple of affiliate links within the article. Ezinearticles usually takes 3-5 days to approve your articles. Articlesbase took about 3 days the few times I'd used them. Those are the only 3 directories I've used so far.

    It depends on the site. Some will accept anything others (the higher quality article sites) will actually read and either accept or not. You could reword your articles but if they are already indexed by google the duplicate content issue should effect your site.

    I actually do it the other way round.

    I write several articles, all of which have been accepted by Ezinearticles.

    When I've got about 30 written on the same niche and all accepted, I should have enough material to keep me in blog posts for a long time.

    As I wrote the original article, I can't be accused of duplicate content.

    Once you get platinum status on Ezinearticles, sometimes your articles can get published in less than 2 hours. You should just focus on writing quality content on Ezinearticles. If people like your article in there, they will publish your article as well and you will get more links to your site.

    I wrote an article this morning, and got acceptance within 2 hours.

    I'm also in first place on Google with an article I wrote yesterday
