The Quality Matters' Executive

The end user-experience is important to us and should be to you. The value you provide in your articles matters since it’s not only an investment in your future as a credible author, it’s an investment of time to your reader. Getting traffic today isn’t worth the cost if your reader quickly realizes that you’re not in it to help them, that your intent was selfish, and they’re gone as quickly as they came.

In help you succeed even more as an expert author in your niche, we’ll be moving forward with 5 changes that will be effective immediately. This is round one.

Effective immediately

1. Increased Quality Checks: We’ve doubled the review time per article that our Editors are allowed to focus on format, grammar, spelling, and consistency.
    
2. WordPress Plugin and API: We will no longer be accepting article submissions via these tools.
    
3. Deadlink / Link Diagnostic Center: If your article contained a dead link, we previously would unlink it within 35 days of your first notification and send you 5 notifications to encourage you to fix it. This process will change and if after 2 weeks your link has not been fixed, we will unlink it. You can always edit your article at a future time to update your link.
    
4. Basic Plus Membership level: You were previously allotted 25 article submissions in this membership level if you did not meet the Platinum membership requirements at the end of your first 10 article submissions. This level was established to help you gain the additional experience and understanding to achieve the Platinum level (quality with quantity). What seemingly occurred was a vicious cycle of the continuous adding of 25 submissions if you still did not meet the requirements. This is no longer effective.
