    I have written an article and I am going to submit it to about 20 different article sites. I have taken out the last half of the article, and put a line that says "finish reading the [article name] at [mywebsite]"

    Now, I want to add a link back to my site:

    A) Text: [article name] URL: [full article url]

    B) Text: [article name] URL: [my home page]

    C) Text: [website name] URL: [full article url]

    D) Text: [website name] URL: [my home page]

    E) Option A, PLUS make my author name (beginning of article) a link to my home page

    F) Option E, BUT use my website name as my author name

    I'm thinking (F) is the best. What are your opinions? (Sorry for so many options haha)

    I don't think the directories will allow you to do that
    lschmidt. You can place a resource box having the
    link of your website at the bottom of the article.

    But you can't take out half the article, and post only
    half of it, and make people to visit your website in
    order to read it.

    In fact, if you do such things, you might just get yourself
    banned from the directories, and even the readers may
    not like it.

    (I personally would never visit a site like that. )

    Actually you can do that. I did so, and my article was accepted by the directories after being reviewed by them.

    I think the term "reviewed" is used a bit loosely in this case. I would certainly never accept such an article, and it would have to be a really good article in order for me to follow a link to another site to finish it.
