Are you selling your articles? Here are my tips

Lets first see where your at:
Are you selling articles to blogs or other sites that will post them for you?
example:
Squidoo
Associated content
Ezine

These are only some of the places you are able to sell your articles or use them for affiliate marketing.

If your not using your articles in the three places I just mentioned, your not taking full advantage of your articles. I personally like to do 2 things before I place my articles up for sale at Associated content. If they get refused from there then I post them on Ezine immediately. I wait a day or 2 and put up a Squidoo lens. This way I am taking full advantage of my articles.

Remember those articles are very important and you must use them to your advantage as well.

I'm going to share some more of my article progress with you throughout this blog so stay tuned there is so much more to come.

A Squidoo Policy Update: Watch out or lose your lenses!!

This comes from a friend of mine from a forum I regularly go to:
Thank you xray :)


I'm posting this for those of you who use Squidoo for affiliate marketing or backlinking purposes.

As you guys know (or should know) Squiddy recently adopted a new policy change on 7/17/09 where among other changes, certain topics are now considered spam & longer permitted - weight loss, x rated topics, forex, win back your ex, music downloads, any 'miracle' cure topics, etc.

Here's the link to the policy update lens:

FYI, the update does NOT give a list of every topic they consider spammy, but from personal exp. over the last few days, I can tell you the new spam filter is VERY sensitive. Topics that no reasonable white hat would ever consider as spam
So if any of you have 4 or 5 star lenses on 'affiliate marketing' or on any 'affiliate marketing program(s)', I would quickly move them to another platform before the Squid locks them. A Squidoo staffer replied to a post re: the spam filter -- said they will be locking spam topic lenses soon [I moved two 5 star affiliate marketing program lenses to Blogger over the weekend & am adding the individual lens modules as scheduled blog posts every 3 days].

The other thing you want to watch out for is the Clickbank products your linking to from your lenses. They're not banning CB links, but I imagine that if you're linking to products in niches they consider spammy, you'll trigger the spam filter.
