Article submission sites are websites that act as 'article banks'. They allow authors of articles to post their articles on the site for free, and they allow webmasters who need content to copy those articles for free (in exchange for a link to the author's website).
See their editorial guidelines, but specifically DO NOT USE Paragraph or Break tags. Instead, use normal paragraph breaks in Word. No more than 3 self-serving links.
Interprets Word's paragraph markers as HTML Paragraph tags so if you have both those and actual Paragraph tags, you'll get double paragraph spacing. Same network as A1 articles. Articles are automatically published there.
Article Title: Title length must be between 4 to 100 characters. Your title must be relevant to your article and may not contain contact information, your name, business name, and any website name or otherwise. Article title must not be stuff with keywords. Titles must NOT be written in all CAPS. The first letter of each word must be capitalized, excluding common words (optional) like 'the, and, are' unless it is the first word of your title.
Article Summary: Article summery is a required field and must have minimum 20 characters and maximum 150 characters. Article summery should be relevant to your article.
Article Body: Articles must be 350 words minimum not including the summary or author's bio. DO NOT include any HTML tag or hyperlink in the body of your article. Article submitted with hyperlink in the body will be rejected immediately (use about author box to display hyperlinks). We strongly recommend that you copy and paste articles from a basic text editor like notepad.
About Author: Up to 300 characters or roughly 40 words. Maximum two hyperlinks are allowed per “About Box” (Affiliate links are not allowed). You must include the necessary HTML tags to make any link included here active; simply placing http://www.yoursite.com in the text will not generate a live link. The About box can be used for biographical and copyright information as well as linking to relevant websites.
You simply enter your article into a text file and save it as whatever you like. For example: article.txt. DO NOT FORMAT the article in anyway. Leave it in plain text.
You can only put a link that goes to a top level domain or directory. We do not allow linking to specific pages. This is to prevent link spamming and affiliate linking.
Attorney related articles. Please e-mail your articles to: info at bestinfo4you dot com (please replace the words "at" and "dot" with the actual symbols) with the subject line: "Article Content."
Articles written by attorneys. Please e-mail your articles to: info at bestinfo4you dot com (please replace the words "at" and "dot" with the actual symbols) with the subject line: "Attorney Article."
Article distribution lists serve a similar function to article submission sites - they just operate differently. Instead of visiting the site and posting your article, you simply email your article to the group, and all members automatically receive it (assuming they're subscribed to received emails). Most article distribution groups are Yahoo groups.
This list is not ordered by popularity; it is alphabetized.
TIP:
Each article distribution list / group will have its own conditions and formatting requirements.
IMPORTANT: Before you can email your article to a group, you MUST:
have a Yahoo Group membership (or Google, MSN, Topica, etc.)
be signed in to Yahoo Groups (or Google Groups, etc.)
be a member of the group
in most cases, subscribe to receive the group's email
In addition do not post more than one article per group per day. If more than one article is posted within a 24-hour period, it will be deleted without notice. Press releases may be posted to the groups only if they are formatted as a press release and follow the submission guidelines.
When you subscribe, you'll be asked to submit a bio, end-of-article blurb, by-line and a your first article to: ExCHANGE-board-owner@yahoogroups.com. Once approved, you will receive further information on how to post your articles directly to the group.
