Article Karma Directory-2

All of the rules below are simply a way to keep the quality of articles we have here as high as possible. We ask that you follow them closely. If you have a question on our guidelines, please ask. When writing, or submitting your articles, always keep in mind the needs of the reader. Please provide good quality information without focusing on selling a product or service. Readers will see right through that approach and be turned off by it. Instead, provide useful, easily readable information and the reader will be anxious to click through to your site to read more, or contact you for more information.
1. Submitting your articles to the Karma-Net Directory does not mean you will be paid in any way. You will not be paid by us or any of our users for the free use of your article.
2. If your article does mention other products or websites they must contain a direct link only to that website or product. You CAN link to your own products or services on your OWN website(s) - or your client's website(s).
3. Said articles may be used in any way by anyone, such as, but not limited to website publication, ezine publication, magazine publication, web blogs, through RSS syndicated feeds etc.
4. Any articles that you or your staff submit must be 100% your own work - You can not submit articles written by authors other than yourself and/or your staff. You may not submit any purchased private label rights articles - as it is likely that many people will be submitting identical (or nearly identical) article content. All content must be written by you (or specifically for you) and you must be the sole copyright holder for all articles you submit. Ghost Written articles are ok assuming you are the only person now in ownership of rights to the article in question. It is your responsibility to ensure that Articles created using automated software are readable, make sense and do not infringe on another author's copyright.
5. Articles with repeated spelling or grammatical errors will be deleted - It is your job to ensure you only submit professionally written content, please check over your articles prior to submission. We may, at our discretion, ask you to resubmit articles with the minor errors corrected prior to publication.
7. E-mail communications may include news and/or promotional messages. Please use the following tips to help make your articles a popular choice.
- Try to keep your articles to a reasonable length - generally around 500 - 800 words.
- Use popular keywords related to your article topic in your copy. Repeat these keywords 3 - 5 times througout your copy.
- Break up your copy into easily readable blocks. While this may not be technically correct paragraph format, this will make your articles much easier to read on the web.
- Spell-check! We're all guilty of this from time-to-time, especially when rushing to write new content., but get in the habit of spell-checking your articles. A more critical review is a must if you're one that typically mixes up words that would otherwise make it through the spell-checker. A good writer's handbook is a highly recommended resource for anyone who spends time writing.
- Always include a link back to your website. Take advantage of the viral marketing benefits that your articles can bring you. Create a good tag line for each of your articles that includes brief information about you and/or your website.
Please use the full URL to your website, rather than embedding the link using html, or using a partial address.
you include the "http://". You never know in what format your article will be used - and using the full URL will help provide you with as many backlinks as possible.
