    Hi there, I just made an article directory yesterday. Even though it took me all day I might have overlooked something so if you have any suggestions on how to improve, please feel free to let me know. Thanks!

    Anyways, here's the new Article Directory
    http://www.vzinearticles.com/

    Authors can currently hotlink to an MP3 version of their article if they have one.
    Authors can also embed a YouTube version of their article if they have one.

    Currently working on a member system where authors can have a profile and list all of their articles with their profile. (Opinions on this would be welcome - I originally thought this wouldn't be needed)

    In the near future, Authors will be able to upload an mp3 version of their article if they have one. If you have an mp3 version of your article, just place the full link in the proper input box for now.

    If you have a good article, please feel free to submit it now. Thanks!

    when we choose category and subcategories we cant see it it`s black font on black background

    i think it is better to require people to sign up to prevent spam

    Thanks for the heads up egiftcards4u :)

    The member system is now live. Authors can now sign up and have a public profile that lists their articles. It's an option to sign up though as I'm not worried about spam: Every article needs to be approved before going live. :)

    I'm always open for suggestions on what to improve or change, so if you have any comments, etc. please let me know!

    One advice: With the new algo of Google Panda/Farmer, be sure to make the articles in your article directory unique - otherwise, your article directory is just another content farms that will - sooner or latter - penalized by Google

    Great advice guys! In your opinion, what's the best way to make sure articles submitted are unique? Would it be copyscape or?

    As well, I was having a lot of problems on that domain so I created a whole new site and now this one is not giving me any problems: http://www.alphaplugs.com/

    Thanks!
