As the publisher we have the right to:

  • Remove any duplicate articles which are submitted to the site. This includes articles submitted to numerous categories with no attempt to change any of the content in order to relate the category intended or spun articles – see above.
  • Remove articles deemed too short for publication. We desire articles of the best quality possible, meaning we will only approve articles with a word count of 600 or more.
  • Reject articles containing repetitive use of keywords and/or links. We generally approve articles which include up to 3 links. In the event that an article includes more than 3 links, it will be automatically rejected from the site.
  • Reject articles which include keywords/links which are irrelevant to the topic of the article or include links which have a subject matter which violates the guidelines stipulated above. Any author who attempts to create false links i.e: links which consist of text referring to the subject matter with irrelevant sites as the actual link, will also be removed.
  • Reject articles which contain broken links at the point of submission. We now also scan existing articles to check for broken links. If a link is broken it will be removed, and the article may also removed at our discretion. Please keep your articles updated to include links and content.
  • In some events, we will change the original category which an article is submitted to. In this instance, this is for the benefit of the author and their content.

 

We have the right to reject any article that we feel is unsuitable or a breach of our guidelines. It is our sole discretion whether we grant the article to be live on Article Alley, and in the same instance, we have the right to remove any article from the site if notified of plagiarism or unsuitable content. It is the author’s responsibility to refer to our guidelines prior to submitting an article.
