    2.  

  2. Web Site Active/Inactive Links/Anchors/URLs

    1. Download links are STRICTLY Forbidden. No direct links to
      any type of digital download are allowed.
    2. ReprintedArticles.com does not accept articles that have the same ACTIVE
      link more than once. Do not submit duplicate identical URLs.
    3. ReprintedArticles.com does not knowingly allow
      any URLs in any of our articles that are banned by Google or if your web
      site engages in questionable SEO practices — ReprintedArticles.com may reject your articles.
    4. ReprintedArticles.com does not allow active links in the first sentence,
      or first paragraph or above the fold of an article.
    5. ReprintedArticles.com does not allow articles which have strategic
      keyword anchor text links       in the body to your domain that
      do not add informational value       to the article. Any use of anchored
      text links to web sites that you own should add value to the article
      topic rather than stand out as an obvious abuse an anchored text link.
      The goal with this policy is to be a good net citizen by only allowing
      articles that add value with the anchored text links rather than purely
      for SEO reasons.

Example: Within your article, you link
the word “bird dog” to an article that you wrote about bird
dogging. This is a good example of an anchored text link vs. linking
the same text to your home page as it doesn’t really add informational
value.

 

  • BANNED LINKS: ReprintedArticles.com
    will not accept articles with links (in the Article Body or Resource
    Box) to adult oriented web sites, including but not limited to web sites
    that include nudity, pornography, adult-oriented shopping sites and adult-oriented
    sexual content or any other potentially offensive or illegal content
    promoting hate, racism, hacking, bomb building, terrorism or any other
    illegal and/or offensive activities.
  • EMAIL ‘MAILTO:’ LINKS: We highly recommend including a link
    to your web site in the Resource Box, but do not advocate including a
    mailto: or email link to your personal or work email account. Spammers
    will abuse it. Better to just include a web site URL and let potential
    customers find your email address on your web site.
