1. ArticleSnatch Free Article Directory Submission Guidelines
Reasonable Number of Links in Articles
We do allow a reasonable number ofactive hyperlinks in the text of the article body, but they will
always have the nofollow tag on them. Prior to this we didn't allow links in the body of the article at
all. In the future we may review this policy and remove the nofollow - which would be done
retroactively. A reasonable number of links is about 1 link per 100 words of content. Links should be
helpful to the reader. Keep the reader in mind first and foremost.
Resource Box Requirements
Your article submissions should include a resource box. We allow up to 500 characters including
html in the resource box and we allow up to 3 active links in the resource box. For best performance
- you should use the better part of the 500 characters, a longer resource box helps readers learn
more than a short one line resource box, or worse, just a link. Please do not waste your time
submitting resource boxes that do not meet this criteria. We will edit them and remove all links after
the first 3.
3. HTML tags are not allowed in the title, summary, keyword box.
Please note that the system does auto-email you when you submission is accepted (once per day with
a summary of accepted articles).

Best Practices and Tips

No Explicit Content
Articles can not contain links to explicit content or contain explicit content themselves - authors
found violating this policy on a regular basis are subject to having their accounts closed at any time
and their articles removed from this site. This includes linking to things that are illegal in the United

offs, boot legs, internet gambling, wagering, online pharmacies, drugs, adult services, material that

Article Length
It should go without saying that articles should be of decent size, otherwise they are merely sales
pitches and not very useful for the reader. Think of the reader first and foremost. Always put the
reader first. Articles less than about 300 words are automatically blocked without review.
No affiliate links
The articles that you submit to ArticleSnatch should not contain affiliate links. It is acceptable,
however, to mention the URL's of helpful sites or your own website which redirects to the
recommended affiliate product.

Author Account Reviews
After you have submitted 10 articles, please email us and include a link to an article or your email
address that your account is under. We will review the account and we will be happy to remove any
nofollow tags from the resource box, assuming you are linking to quality sites and writing quality
articles. There are numerous posts on our blog in regards to why we have this policy but it is for
everyone's benefit. It provides a layer of protection from malicious spammers.
