| Q. | Are the articles royalty free and may I use them on my website? |
|
| Ans. | Yes the articles are royalty free and yes you may use them on your website or in your ezines or newsletters, but you must always include the author details and article source. |
|
| |
| Q. | Do I need to become an Articles Abroad member to submit articles? |
|
| Ans. | No you don't have to become a member, but if you wish to comment or add information to articles you need to sign up for a free membership. |
|
| |
| Q. | How long does it take for an article to be approved? |
|
| Ans. | Usually within 24 hours. |
|
| |
| Q. | May I use any of the articles in my ebook? |
|
| Ans. | Yes but always include the author details and article source. It is also a courtesy to ask permission of the authors first and if your ebook is intended to make money offer them resell rights or similar. |
|
| |
| Q. | My article was declined but other sites have accepted it, why? |
|
| Ans. | Reasons for articles being declined are always sent by email, but all submitters should read our article guidelines which may differ from other sites. It is important to Articles Abroad that articles should be of a reasonable quality, well researched and offer good information and advice to our members and visitors. We do not want Articles Abroad to be viewed as a link farm, but rather as somewhere good to go to get information and advice. |
|
| |
| Q. | What do I do if my article doesn't fit into any of the categories? |
|
| Ans. | Either contact us or add your article to the Articles Abroad category. Providing your article fits in with the general niche of the site a new category will be formed for your article. |
|
| |
| Q. | What subjects may I submit articles about? |
|
| Ans. | Articles can be about travel, living or working destinations, real estate or learning languages. |
|
| |
| Q. | Why Can't I use PLR articles that I own? |
|
| Ans. | Articles should always be written by yourself or for you by a ghost writer and you should hold sole copyright. First of all directory owners don't want the same article submitted by more than one person because it would be duplicate content. PLR articles can cause confusion and waste time. We always check to see if an article is plagiarised before acceptance and if we find that an article has been submitted elsewhere by a different author then the understandable assumption is that you have plagiarised the article because there is nothing to say that the article is PLR. |
|
| |
| Q. | Why do I get an email every time an article is approved or declined? |
|
| Ans. | That function is set in the software and can't be turned off at present. It is always advisable to set up a separate email account especially for article marketing, I'd recommend gmail. If you are using article marketing as part of your business it does no harm knowing when or if articles are approved or declined. |
|
| |
| Q. | Why can't I use my email or website address as my author name? |
|
| Ans. | Because email addresses and website addresses are not author names. A proper name is more businesslike and adds more credibility for the writer than hiding behind an alternative name. |
|
| |
| Q. | Why can't I advertise within my article? |
|
| Ans. | You are getting a free service and apart from 2 links allowed with every article the only free advertising on the site will be our own. If in the future traffic builds enough to warrant advertising fees then we will work something out. |
