As webmasters are well aware.. Although a URL or link may not be indexed it still passes and flows link juice. There is a huge difference between search engines indexing a piece of content and counting the links it sees in the content. However a well indexed and well written piece of content is likely to pass a lot more power and authority then a non indexed piece of content.

As you have probably noticed AR for quite a while now has been building links into published articles for monthly members.... read more »

There have been some big changes that have happened to articleranks over the past year. One of them has been the way we now publish articles and the changes that were needed to be made to evolve with search spiders intelligence. As you are already aware, each membership level has higher priority distributions - Free gives you the benefits when promoting a small sites, your starter increases publishes a little more with pro being full scale. Saying that, we have changed the publishing a little to now be random/intelligent publishing, so unlike other article publishing sites, we don't keep publishing your articles on the same site each and every time you submit it to that category - Instead each article will go to a random selection of sites in that category but not ALL of the sites - This is done to give much better link diversity and to look much more natural. In theory you may get 20-100 publishes per article - But then imagine writing 20 articles per month with each one getting published on different sites Yes it would be MUCH easier to publish each article all in one go on all sites and get 500+ published numbers (like we used to do) - But then if you are publishing 20-30 articles per month and promoting the same site does it really look natural to have the same site linking to you again and again and again all in a small timeframe of a month.... read more »

A lot of users have been trying to abuse the categories lately, therefore we have had to take action to stop the category spam.. Not only does this degrade the system, but it also send irrelevant articles to webmasters and they end up removing their sites from the system. So we have added to new measures

1) We have removed the ALL category from the add article section so you can no longer add an article to ALL categories, as a lot of users were just clicking ALL even though their article was not written for ALL subjects.

2) We have put a limit on the number of categories you can choose

Please note as mentioned in past posts we take spam very seriously. Anyone caught submitting the same article into the system multiple times WILL have their account terminated!... read more »
