Article Directory – RightonClick Everytime Submission Guidelines

Every article submitted is human-reviewed by our editorial team, so in order to help your articles get approved more easily, you are advised to adhere to the article submission guidelines as follows. This will save time for both the authors and the reviewers.

Things to Note Before You Start Writing Your Article:

Must Be

1. AN ORIGINAL ARTICLE THAT YOU WROTE. It is okay to submit to other sites as well to increase popularity, but it should be original written article. If you are submitting the article on someone’s behalf, please provide acknowledgment under the bio resource section by including their name and email address.
2. INFORMATIVE in nature and showcase of your unique expertise. Everyone is an expert in something, so you may want to promote yourself by sharing personal tips, methods, case-studies, analysis, opinions and commentary in your articles. Examples of unacceptable articles include those of sales nature such as press releases, advertisements, sales letter, promotional copy, or excessive self-promotion or hype. For this type of promotion needs, there are many readily available avenues from paid online advertising.
3. HAVE PROPER ENGLISH, spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization and sentence structure. A properly formatted article is always easier to read and understood by others.

Must NOT Be

§ Term papers or essays for sale to college students, PLR (Private Label Rights) articles as a good thing (it’s not), the promotion of email Safe-Lists as a good thing (it’s not) or bulk email spamming as a good thing (it’s not), advocacy for paid auto-surf programs as a good thing (it’s not), advocacy of click fraud or clicking on Adsense ads as a good thing (it’s not), advocacy of creating MFA’s (Made For Adsense) sites as a good strategy (it’s not), or advocacy of Adsense Arbitrage (this policy is created to protect our advertisers interests).

§ Any content that is a violation of any law, be considered defamatory, libelous, or infringes on the legal rights of others.

§ Multiple Submission of Similar Article. We do not encourage or accept multiple submission of essentially the same article with only minor changes in the body. Authors who violate this will be banned from this site.

§ Excessive and/or bolded keywords/ phrases. Keywords stuffing is not recommended and may reduce the legibility of the article.

vii. Your article body MUST deliver on what is promised in the title. We do not accept teaser links or phrases that require a reader to click away from the article or reference another source in order to receive the full benefit of what has been promised.

viii.The following HTML TAGS ARE ALLOWED in the ARTICLE BODY:

<b>BOLD</b>

<strong>STRONG</strong>

<i>ITALICS</i>

<em>EMPHASIS</em>

<u>UNDERLINE</u>

<br> is used to force a hard line return. Use this HTML tag to prevent our system from trying to wrap your short sentences together into one paragraph.

<pre> and </pre> To make a text table look right.

<blockquote>TO INDENT A PARAGRAPH</blockquote>

<XMP> and </XMP> are used to display HTML code if you want to show the HTML code but not have our system interpret your code as HTML commands.

<OL> and <UL> tags to create a NUMBERED LIST or a BULLET POINT list. See the Essential HTML article link below for further instructions on how to implement if this is your first time using these tags. These are OPTIONAL tags as you can always just left justify a numbered list or * asterisks for bullets and it makes your article much simpler to reprint.

ix. The following HTML TAGS ARE NOT ALLOWED in the ARTICLE BODY:

<p> and </p> are not allowed anywhere in your article. To accomplish the same thing as the <p> tag, just make sure there is one vertical space between each of your paragraphs. Our system interprets vertical spaces between paragraphs as an indication that the paragraph has ended and we insert behind-the-scenes the <p> tags so you don’t have to.

<JAVASCRIPT> is not allowed in any form.

<IMG SRC> Image tags are NOT allowed.

FONT SIZE changes or COLOR tags are NOT allowed.

<H1>, <H2>, <H3>, etc. tags are NOT allowed.

The <HR> horizontal line tag is NOT allowed.

x. Please do not submit articles with excessive HARD LINE BREAKS. A hard line break is when you use the HTML <P> or <BR> tag to force a carriage return rather than allowing each line to wrap naturally. We may either reject or convert any articles that are sent in with hard line breaks. It’s ok to force a hard line break when you’re making a small list of items but it’s not ok to arbitrarily force hard line returns on every single line at a certain character width.

xi. We do not accept articles that use any ALLOWED HTML in the article body that is not relevant to a specific heading, subheading, or defined text.

xii. At the very END of your ARTICLE BODY, please help us by removing any excess vertical spaces and do not include any HTML tags that would create or force the creation of additional vertical spaces after the end of your ARTICLE BODY.

xiii.Your article MUST be single spaced, MUST use appropriate paragraph breaks, and MUST use correct formatting for bulleted or numbered lists. We will not accept articles that are not single spaced, that do not use paragraphs to appropriately break up the body text, or that provide bulleted or numbered lists that are not formatted correctly.

x. We do not accept articles that have the same ACTIVE link more than once. Do not submit duplicate URLs.

xi. We do not allow articles which have strategic keyword anchor text links in the body to your domain that do not add informational value to the article. Any use of anchored text links to websites that you own should add value to the article topic rather than stand out as an obvious abuse of anchored text link. The goal with this policy is to be a good net citizen by only allowing articles that add value with the anchored text links rather than for pure SEO reasons. Please limit your anchor text link length to 3 words.

xii. If you put both of the active self serving links that we allow in the body of your article, we will reject it.

xiii.We will not accept articles with links (in the Article Body or Resource Box) to adult-oriented websites, including but not limited to websites that include pornography, adult-oriented sexual content.

xv. Affiliate links will be allowed if the link is a domain name you own which forward/redirects to the affiliate link from the top-level of the domain name. For example, it is permissible to forward to an affiliate link from:

http://your-company-name.com/

http://your-company-name.com/page.html

http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/

http://your-company-name.com/subdirectory/page.html
