You have a zero percent chance of getting an article published at Article Yard if your article title is a sales pitch.

If your article title is something like:

Great Value Motorcycle Parts

your article will be declined immediately.

Don't waste your own time submitting the article, and our time checking the declined box. Write articles that have some VALUE to readers, or serve a purpose besides selling a product or service.

So if your next article sounds or looks like something you'd find on Craigslist, don't bother.

Please use the new "Paste from Word" button when copying/pasting your article from a Microsoft Word document. Even if you are using a word processor besides Word to copy and paste from, use the button to help clean up some of the extraneous code that these applications like to add unknowingly.

The button looks like this:

Please use it!

The executive summary of this post is that links are not allowed in articles in almost all situations. You must only add links to the "Author Byline" section.

The only time it is ok to add links in the main body of your article, is if the links add value to the reader. An example would be if you are comparing products and wanted to give your readers a more in depth look at specs. Instead of copying all of the specs for each product into the article, you could link to the specs page for each.

The quickest and most efficient way of letting us know any problems/questions/bug reports/feature requests is to use the feedback module you see on most pages in the bottom right corner. Take a look now and see the [+] FEEDBACK button.

We will automatically know which page you are referring to based on the page you submit the feedback form. You can use this anonomously or logged in.

We thank those that have already sent feedback suggestions, and assure you that these are always helpful in one way or another. Please don't hesitate to let us know what is on your mind.
