The online article marketing venue has rapidly
increased over the years, today there are hundreds of website that
allow people to post articles with bylines and links to websites. Most
of these sites come and go, but there are a few good ones that endure
and grow. Some of the biggest ones have 10s of 1,000s of articles and
one has over a million. The number of authors who write these articles
has also grown astronomically as well. One rule that has been
instituted to prevent these abuses (at least at a couple or more
article directory sites) is the blatant promotion, press release ad
style, or blatant advertising regulation. There are articles that
people submit that are indeed, outrageously "press release" related and
do not belong in article directories. It happens because people new to
the article marketing venue, either don't quite get it, or assume that
no one will check. Of course, there are also authors who will simply
slip into a state of self-promotion and weave all sorts of propaganda
into their articles, it happens. Due to the abuses of folks in
this article marketing space, more and more rules over the years have
been put into place, at various submission sites. Today, there are so
many different rules at all the different websites, that it's almost
impossible to keep track of them all. Each site has a completely
different focus and set of standards. And unfortunately those
that have none have been overrun by spammy type content, thus ruins it
for everyone, especially the Internet Surfer or online reader. That's
my take on it based on the 16,300 articles I have manually submitted
over the past 5-years. So please consider this. Lance Winslow - Lance Winslow's Bio. Lance Winslow is also Founder of the Car Wash Guys, a cool little Franchise Company; http://www.carwashguys.com/history/founder.html/.
