With rare exception article authors and their own guidelines don't really go together when they tell you how to write. Did you ever notice that the article by them that you are reading doesn't apply what they tell you to do?
Perhaps there is a logical reason for this. It's because they have just taken someone else's advise and rewrote the article calling it their own. But they sure didn't learn much from it, did they. Is the use of article marketing just degenerating into nothing more than 'article spam'?
Is it going to become like the high school diploma? Where having one doesn't really mean anything but not having one is considered a large demerit. With Web 2.0 and everything becoming auto this and self that and how many friends is it soon to be required to have X number of articles published on-line?
An interesting article entitled "Article Authors Break Their Own Guidelines" just went up over at our sister site at
and it shines a little more light on the subject. The situation really is becoming a blight on the article marketing system and technique. And by the way you'll notice that at least this isn't a rewrite.
