Submission Guidelines:

Article Title:
The title for any article should be the most important thing for you to consider. It should accurately reflect the topic that you are writing about and should ideally contain between 1 - 5 words. The title cannot be in all capital letters although each important word in the title may start with a capital letter. A title for your article is mandatory if you wish to have it accepted and published.

Article Keywords:
The keywords for your article should be related to the main article topic. The keywords can be used to help locate the article in the search available from this site and therefore must appear in your article. The article keywords are optional.

Article Category:
Please select the most appropriate category as failure to do so could result in the submission being rejected. If a specific category is not available then please choose the closest associated category and submit it for approval. Green Articles Earth Directory staff reserve the right to move any article to the category they feel it is best associated with. A category selection is mandatory.

Article Summary:
The article summary should be no more than 250 characters (not 250 words), and should accurately sum up the entire content of the article.

Please do not simply repeat the title or use all capitals as this can result in the article being rejected. The article summary is also important for people using the search facility as this is generally what people will see in the search results. It is therefore essential to accurately summarize your main article if you wish - the summary is optional.

Article Content:
The content of all articles submitted must be the authors own work. Links may be included IF they are highly relevant to the subject and link to other existing articles on this site. Authors who deliberately include excessive links will not have their article published, or they may have the links edited out.

The ideal content length of any article will be between 400 and 5000 words. Authors must remember to use good grammar and sentence fluidity to ensure they retain the readers' interest. If an article is unclear and full of spelling mistakes, it will make reading it very difficult and may be rejected.

All articles should be in english and be written with the reader in mind. Any outgoing links should only be pointed at active web pages, preferably the main domain of the site in question.

Some html tags are allowed in the Authors Bio box of each article. However, these are restricted to the following:

* <b>BOLD</b>
* <i>ITALICS</i>
* <u>UNDERLINE</u>
* <a href="your-site-url">url link</a>

About Author:
The author section should be written in the third person. Instead of I work on xyz website, it should be more along the lines of Author name is a full time consultant for xyz website. A maximum of two outbound links will be permitted in this section and in the case where more than two links are submitted, editors will use only the first two links after removing the excess.

Authors who continually submit articles with excessive promotional links will have their article submissions automatically declined without review. The emphasis for Green Articles Earth Directory is quality over quantity.
