How to Publish on ArticlePole: The New Review Process

blog · · 5 mins read · articlepole@alsharq.net.sa

Welcome to ArticlePole’s updated publishing system. In the past, articles could be published instantly after submission. With the new management approach, every submission now follows a structured review process designed to protect content quality, improve reader trust, and ensure that published articles provide real value not content created only for visibility.

This page explains what changed, why it changed, and exactly how your article moves from submission to publication.

What Changed & Why

From instant publishing to quality-first publishing

Previously, ArticlePole accepted most submissions and published them immediately. While this allowed fast posting, it also created problems over time: repeated topics, low-value content, unclear writing, heavy promotion, and articles that added little benefit to readers.

Our new goal

ArticlePole is now focused on publishing content that is:

Useful: The reader learns something practical or gains a clear insight.
Original: Not copied, reworded, or “spun” from existing sources.
Well-structured: Easy to read, logically organized, and professionally presented.
Trustworthy: Claims and links are checked to reduce misinformation and spam.

In short: we publish articles that deserve to be read, not articles written “just to be published.”

The 6-Step Submission Journey

Every article submitted to ArticlePole goes through the same six steps. This process ensures fairness and consistency for all writers.

Step 1: Submit Your Article (Account + Form)

To publish on ArticlePole, you will submit your content through your account using the article submission form. At this stage, you will typically provide:

Article title
Article body
Category selection
Optional author bio and relevant links

Tip: Submitting a clean, well-formatted draft makes the review process faster.

Step 2: Automated Checks (Spam, Duplicates, Formatting)

Before an editor reads your article, the system performs basic automated checks to filter out issues such as:

Spam or suspicious content patterns
Duplicate or near-duplicate articles
Broken structure (no headings, messy formatting, excessive links)
Low-quality submissions that do not meet basic publishing standards

If your article fails automated checks, it may be returned for corrections or rejected if it clearly violates guidelines.

Step 3: Editorial Review (Quality, Clarity, Usefulness)

After passing system checks, your article moves to editorial review. Our editors focus on the reader experience and assess whether the article is:

Clear and easy to understand
Useful and actionable
Organized with logical flow
Written in a professional tone
Not overly promotional or repetitive

Editors may evaluate whether the topic is too generic, whether the article provides real examples, and whether it delivers something new or practical.

Step 4: Fact & Link Check (Claims + References + Link Quality)

To protect readers, we verify key elements such as:

Strong claims (numbers, statistics, health/finance/legal claims)
References (where needed, especially for factual statements)
Link quality (relevance, trustworthiness, and non-spam behavior)

Articles with questionable claims, misleading statements, or suspicious links may be returned for clarification or rejected.

Step 5: SEO & Readability Polish (Headings, Meta, Structure)

If an article meets quality standards, it may receive light editorial adjustments for clarity and discoverability. This can include:

Improving headings and subheadings
Adjusting structure to improve scanning and readability
Suggesting better article flow
Adding or refining basic meta elements (when applicable)

This step is not about keyword stuffing. It’s about helping good content perform better while keeping it natural and reader-friendly.

Step 6: Publish or Request Revisions

At the final stage, the editor will either:

Publish the article
Request revisions before publishing
Reject the article (with reason category)

If revisions are needed, you will receive notes explaining exactly what to change and how to resubmit.

Review Timelines (What to Expect)

Because every article is reviewed for quality, publishing is no longer instant. Review time depends on factors such as:

Submission volume
Article length and complexity
Whether the article includes many links or factual claims requiring checking
Whether revisions are needed

Important note

Your article may be returned with revision notes even if it’s good overall. This is normal. It simply means the editor sees potential and wants improvements before publication.

Possible Outcomes

After review, your article will fall into one of three outcomes:

1) Approved (Published)

Your article meets the editorial standards and is published on ArticlePole.

2) Needs Revisions (Returned with Notes)

Your article has value, but requires changes before publication. You will receive clear notes (e.g., structure improvements, removing promotional sections, adding examples, fixing claims, cleaning links).

3) Rejected (With Reason Category)

Your article does not meet the publishing standards or violates the guidelines. Rejection is categorized for clarity, such as:

Duplicate / plagiarism concerns
Low value or generic content
Excessive promotion or link spam
Misleading claims or weak credibility
Poor readability or structure

How to Increase Approval Chances

If you want your article to pass review faster and get published, focus on these proven practices:

Write for people, not just search engines

Search traffic matters, but reader trust matters more. If an article feels written only for keywords, it usually fails editorial review.

Use examples, steps, and bullet points

Strong articles don’t stay abstract. They explain and demonstrate:

Include a step-by-step approach
Add short examples or mini case studies
Use bullet points for clarity and scanning

Avoid copying and keyword stuffing

Don’t rewrite existing articles from other sites
Don’t translate content and publish it as “new”
Don’t repeat the same keywords unnaturally

Add sources for important factual claims

If you mention numbers, statistics, or strong factual statements, provide credible references or explain the basis of the claim. This improves trust and reduces revision requests.

Quick Checklist Before You Submit

Before you click “Submit,” quickly confirm the following:

Original? Is this content truly yours and not copied or rewritten?
Useful? Does the reader gain practical value or a clear takeaway?
Structured? Does it include 2–4 internal headings and clear flow?
Proofread? Is the grammar clean and the writing easy to read?
Links clean? Are your links relevant, trustworthy, and not excessive?
Clear conclusion? Does the article end with a clear summary or key takeaways?

A well-structured article with short paragraphs, clear headings, and a focused conclusion has a significantly higher chance of approval.
