This is just a quick update to let you know that if you have articles rejected at article-content-king, you may not know exactly why.  Instead of showing you the specific reasons you article has been rejected, you may see every reason we reject articles on instead.  We will have this fixed soon. 

If you have rejected articles, you will be unable to submit any more until you fix the issues with your article.  I am sorry this bug will make that a little harder. However, if you read the submission terms, you will probably be able to see why your article has been rejected. 

We reject over 80% of the articles that are submitted to the site, often not due to the quality of the article, more to do with formatting, bad links or use of HTML tags that we do not allow. The most common reason for rejection is “Pasting from a rich text editor, without using the paste from word tool”.  When you do this, you add a lot of unnecessary HTML code along with the article. This code “junks up” the pages on our site and makes them less search engine friendly. So rather than fixing this ourselves every time someone doesn’t use the paste from word tool provided, we reject your articles in the hope that you will see what you are doing wrong. There may be nothing wrong with your article itself, but the code behind it is the reason why we rejected it. We want nice clean pages on the site from good attentive authors. 

I am sure you want good attentive admins actively promoting your articles (after we approve them). I’d rather have 50 unique, well written articles written by dedicated authors, than any number of articles submitted by some “seo company” trying to build keyword links for their client. Just learn how we want you to submit articles and I guarantee you will get traffic. More traffic than you get from almost any other article directory you submit articles to perhaps?

If you have rejected articles, please do not take offense, just fix the issues and submit again. When you get approved, you will get more traffic… because we are so strict about the articles that we approve.
