SEO Without Spam

ArticlePole supports SEO but we do not publish articles written only for ranking. SEO must serve the reader, not replace value.

What good SEO looks like

  • Use keywords naturally in headings and paragraphs
  • Write clear titles that match reader intent
  • Use descriptive subheadings (not repeated keyword blocks)
  • Keep paragraphs short for easier scanning

What spam SEO looks like (and gets rejected)

  • Repeating the same phrase 20 times
  • Stuffing multiple keywords into a single sentence
  • Writing unnatural headings like “Best Cheap SEO Marketing Business Tools 2026”
  • Using generic filler to increase word count

Meta description guidance

Write a short meta description that communicates a clear benefit, for example:

  • What the article teaches
  • Who it is for
  • What result the reader can expect

A strong meta description is short, specific, and helpful not promotional.


Common Reasons Articles Get Rejected

Most rejections are preventable. Before submitting, check your article against these common issues:

1) Duplicate / Plagiarized Content

If the article is copied, heavily rewritten, or translated from another source without real originality, it will be rejected.

2) Too Generic (No Steps, No Examples)

Articles that stay at surface level without frameworks, real examples, or actionable guidance are often rejected as “low value.”

3) Too Many Links or Direct Promotion

If the article feels like an advertisement, a backlink vehicle, or a sales pitch, it will not be published.

4) Strong Claims Without Sources

Statistics, medical/financial/legal claims, or “guaranteed results” require credible support. Without it, editors may reject or request revisions.

5) Poor Language Quality

Excessive grammar errors, unclear sentences, or weak readability will reduce approval chances significantly.

6) Misleading Title

If the title promises something the content does not deliver, the article may be rejected. Title and content must match clearly.


How to Handle “Needs Revisions”

If your article is returned with revision notes, that’s a positive sign. It usually means your article has potential but needs improvement before publication.

What to do next

  1. Read the editor’s notes carefully
    Editors will point to specific issues: structure, claims, links, clarity, or missing examples.
  2. Edit exactly what was requested
    Don’t ignore the notes and resubmit the same draft. Fix the required points first.
  3. Resubmit with a Change Log
    Include a short “What I changed” section, such as:
  • Updated structure and added headings
  • Removed promotional links
  • Added examples and clearer steps
  • Rewrote introduction for clarity
  • Added sources for statistics

A change log speeds up re-review and shows professionalism.


Author Profile Tips

A strong author profile improves credibility and trust. It also supports consistent publication.

Best practices

  • Write a short, professional bio (2–3 lines)
  • State your area of expertise clearly (e.g., marketing, tech, health)
  • Keep links minimal and relevant (optional)
  • Avoid overly promotional bios or “sales” language

Your profile should make readers feel confident that your content is written by a real, responsible author.
