Most common reasons why articles submitted get rejected

Back to bestmanagementarticles.com

1. The topic of the article is not related to business management.

2. Too many grammatical errors.

3. Submitting a press or news release instead of an article that will remain a good read for months or years.

4. Attempt at advertising a product/company/website in the article body.

5. Too short article length.

Reminder to all authors:

1. Preview and proofread your article thoroughly before hitting the "submit" button.

2. Always put a double space in between paragraphs.

3. Check carefully the category you specify where your article will be published.

Most common reasons why author applications get rejected

Back to bestmanagementarticles.com

A lot of authors get rejected by editors at bestmanagementarticles.com for the following reasons:

1. There is insufficient information in the author biography box to give us a glimpse of the author's background. This is the most common reason for rejection, especially for the numerous applicants coming from India.

Putting such simplistic statements in the biography box as "I'm a professional writer", "I have an MBA", "I'm a friendly guy" and such will simply waste your time and ours. You won't get approved.

We are selective in our choice of authors--you need to give us your track record, your credentials, to prove to us that you are deserving to be published.

2. The biography box contains a description of the company, instead of the author. Please take note, the biography box in the application process is not the same as the author resource box in the article page. The biography box should describe the author, not the company. Check out this sample biography.

On the other hand, the author resource box at the end of each article is where you are allowed to advertise your product or website.

3. The name as appearing in the personal information is not the same as the name appearing in the biography box.

4. The address of the applicant is incomplete.

5. The content of the biography box is so awkwardly written or with a lot of grammatical errors. This makes us conclude that you are not a good writer. If you can't even write a good autobiography, why should we think that you can write a good article?

6. The location of the IP address of the applicant is different from his/her stated location. (Many times we have encountered applicants who stated that they are from the USA but their IP addresses are from India, Malaysia, China and elsewhere! Yes, we do go to this extent of background checking to ensure the prestige of our article directory.)

Forex: the wise investment when the financial markets look gloomy

Back to BestManagementArticles.com

The outlook these days for the financial markets is pretty gloomy. The good news is that there's an alternative with Foreign Exchange trading that I think you’ll also be interested in.


With Forex, you can invest in currencies from around the world – buying and selling them when the time is right. It is one of the fastest growing industries on the net and it is quite convenient in that you can do it from your computer at home. It’s a massive industry with 3 trillion dollars being transacted every day – that makes it about 40 times larger than the NASDAQ. And the great thing is that anyone can participate, without having to go through a broker and pay commissions. All you need is access to the internet.

In fact, the unpredictability of today’s markets is what makes Forex attractive to some investors right now. The advantage of Forex is that you have the possibility to make money whether a particular currency is going up or going down. And the enormous size of the markets means there is always a buyer and a seller (so you are never stuck with a currency you can’t move, unlike with some stocks).

There are several online trading platforms to choose from. I’ve found Easy-Forex to be an excellent and reputable company that is fully regulated with offices around the world. You will particularly value the personal service you get from them – especially the free one-one-one training. They have an easy to use trading site and have great features that help you manage your risk. They also have this cool new tool which no one else in the market has. They call it ‘the inside viewer’ and it shows you the popularity of currencies being bought and sold on their platform.

Please be aware, though, that Forex is risky and you should never risk more than you are prepared to lose.

Go straight to their site now, sign up, deposit and you’ll get a free eBook guide on how to trade Forex: www.easy-forex.com.

Plagiarism: Who’s Stealing Whose Ideas?

Lately we’ve noticed that our site’s system (www.BestManagementArticles.com) has been malfunctioning. A few articles with exactly the same titles have passed thru the submission filter and got manually approved by our different editors. But what we found out in the process of debugging is worrying: the same articles were being submitted by different authors. Some have slightly different titles but exactly the same article content.


Looks like some authors are thriving on plagiarism.


I decided to retain the duplicate articles in our directory for all to see. But if you don’t see duplicate articles of the titles listed below by the time you read this, it only means that the "guilty" party/parties have already logged in and deleted their articles from our directory.


Let’s look at some of our findings:
1.
Title: “3 Necessary Tools for the High Rolling Affiliate Marketers”

3 identical articles, separately submitted by: Karl Glantschnig, Jo Han Mok and Tyler James Ellision


2. Title: “3 Quick and Easy Ways to Build a Profitable Opt in List”

3 identical articles, submitted separately by: Julie Morris, Chris Vendilli, and Dan Clare


3. Title: “3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need to Succeed Online”

2 identical articles, ubmitted separately by: Don Alexander and Mallia Wofford


4. Title: “4 small business myths revealed and squashed”

2 identical articles, submitted separately by: Doug Brown and Claudia Brown


5. Title: “4 Things ALL Articles Must Have - Don't Forget!”

2 identical articles, submitted separately by: Chris Vendilli and Stephen Campbell


6. Title: “5 Easy Ways to Get Your Creative Juices Going”

2 identical articles, submitted separately by: Malia Wofford and Tom Taito


7. Title: “5 Reasons Why Blogging is the New Internet Marketing Tool”

2 identical articles, ubmitted separately by: Johanna Piittala and Samizr Khan


8. Title: “5 Things You Must Have to Succeed in Affiliate Marketing”

3 identical articles, submitted separately by: Sean Burton, Jo Han Mok and Tyler James Ellison


9. Title: “6 Red Hot Tips to Get Your Articles Read”

3 identical articles, submitted separately by: Julie Morris, Jo Han Mok and Stephen Campbell


10. Title: “7 Ways to Drive Laser-Targeted Traffic”

2 identical articles, submitted separately by: Johanna Piittala and Chris Vendilli


11. Title: “A Day In The Life Of An Affiliate Marketer”

2 identical articles, separately submitted by: Alec Olive and Jo Han Mok


12. Title: “Affiliate Marketing - How to Get Started in 6 Easy Steps”

2 identical articles, submitted separately by: Estee Andrew and Alec Olive


This list is far from comprehensive. We were only able to review the list containing articles beginning in A. There should be more in B-Z.


The big question: Who plagiarized whom? Given that authors usually submit articles to many sites and article directories it is very hard to pin down who the original author is.


Any comments and suggestions from readers?
