Tips to get Featured
Amazon Modules
Don't add Amazon modules for the sake of adding them. Make sure they are extremely related, and place them where appropriate. Having a number of random related products at the end of your article makes it look less appealing and will probably prevent you from being featured.
Include Pictures
Include high quality pictures in your article. You can always use Wikipedia (creative common images) and or Morguefile to get royalty free pictures, just make sure you properly credit them. Without pictures in your article, the chances of getting featured are significantly lower.
Citations
While citations are not required, we will lean more towards articles with citations where applicable. This improves article credibility
Attractive Formatting
When appropriate use headings, and break your article up into digestible chunks. If you are writing a top list, include matching widths to make everything look uniform.
Add Maps
Maps are our latest article element and are a great way to illustrate where certain landmarks can be located and are especially beneficial when describing locations.
Entertaining/Resourceful
Your article should provide value to the end user. At the end of the day, try to make the article entertaining to read while being as resourceful as possible
