I've never submitted articles to sites, I have a scripting site and was wondering would my content work for submitting articles to directories? Do they need to be long articles. Here is an example of a short article on my site would it get accepted to article directories? http://www.scriptmob.com/vbscript/vbscript_downloads/unlock_user_account_script.html
Most article sites will accept anything. If you want it to be picked up by other sites you need to make it good.
500-750 words. Plain text article with html resource box containing 1-2 links. Don't submit a press release.
350+ words is a good minimum. Article sites cannot read every article in detail, they just scan them quickly. Make sure of the following: *no hard line-breaks (let your lines wrap naturally) *make sure you dont have double blank lines, seperate paragraphs with only one line limit your links to 1 (or 0) in the article, and no more that 2 in the resource box.
I haven't had much experience with articles, but I think it's more quality of the content than length.
