I am going to start submitting articles here. Will be careful about these guidelines. Thankyou admin
Very useful info :)
I am new here and I tried to cop and paste from note pad. It wouldn't let me. It said something about not being able to copy and paste from fire fox because of privacy issues and then sent me to a page that tells me how I can copy and paste. It is very long and complicated and I don't think I understand it. Surely just copying and pasting couldn't be so difficult. Is there an easier way? Should I sign out of fire fox and use another browser? Please help.
Hi,
If you can use IE then that will work for you for copy and pasting. I haven't encountered Firefox's privacy issue yet, so I'm not able to walk you through it. IE will work just fine for posting articles.
Thank you for the condensed FAQ/Tips. I'll keep these in mind as I start working on writing here at InfoBarrel.
Ctrl-V will let you paste and get by that firefox error.
"Maximum of 2 self-serving links per article." So, what is the definition of a self-serving link? I've had an article denied because I had four hyperlinks in it and none of them were to a webpage that I had any relationship with at all. So exactly what is the definition of a "self-serving" link?
Hi,
The self serving links also applies to outgoing links. When articles are getting reviewed it is very difficult to determine if the links included are self serving or not.
Another article has been denined because it supposedly has more than two self serving links. It has NO self serving links! Who do I have to email about this?
