Hello all

Please ensure the email address you have registered with is an email address you check regularly. The reason being, when you submit an article, if it has problems we send out a notification detailing what the issue is. It is clear that with certain authors they are not receiving these emails or they are not checking their email accounts.

There are a number of authors that just re-submit the exact same article without making any changes, we disapprove it, they re-submit, we dis-approve, etc... Its a never ending chain. We have starting deleting accounts where it is clear that the author has not read our communication.

Don't let it happen to you, check the email address you have registered on Article Land.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Would you like to link to all your Article Land submissions from your own website?

We have introduced the 'As Featured On Article Land' button for you to add to your own websites.



Just copy and paste the code supplied into your own website and when users click on it, they will be directed to your article summary page. Just head over to this page for further details

We are also offering a free installation of this button which you can request via the 'contact us' link.

Howdy Folks

We have finally been able to resolve the database issues that have caused Article Land to be offline for so long. I think it was about 3 weeks and we can only apologize for the extent of the downtime.

We believe we have managed to resolve the issues but we have lost some data. We estimate about 5% data loss from the database which under the circumstances is pretty good. If you have been affected by the data loss, please accept our apologies. If you want to resubmit any articles that have been lost we will be working around the clock to help you get them approved.

One thing we have learnt from this experience is the importance of backups, without them Article Land would have been dead! So take our advice and backup your data regularly.

We would really appreciate it, if you spot any issues with the site, to let us know via the 'contact us' link.

Best Regards

We are no longer accepting blogs relating to cell/mobile phones and we are alos being very selective about articles relating to this subject. If you write about this subject make sure it is top quality as we will be deleting your articles otherwise.

Hello All

It's that time of year again when we re-validate all our author accounts. This enables us to remove any spammy accounts and also ensure that the email addresses supplied by authors are still valid. If they are not, we cannot contact you to let you know if there are problems with your article submissions.

Over the next few days you should receive an email entitled 'Articleland - Author Validation'. The email will contain a link for you revalidate your account.

Do not delete this email, it is important. Your account will be deleted if you do not respond.

We have produced a document entitled Article Submission Guidelines, available via the link on the right under Site Pages.

The document details how to use the article submission form, the editor functionality and some useful tips to ensure your articles get approved first time.

Any articles that do not comply with this document will not get approval.

Hello All

We have moved the site to a new server, hopefully it will perform better than the last one.

Also we have made changes to the look of the site, we hope you like it. We are making further modifications over the weekend, bringing more functionality on board to make your experience on the site more enjoyable.

Hello All

We get so many articles with HTML in the content. HTML will not resolve itself in the WYSIWYG editor. If you want to add links you have to use the link function in the article submission form. Up until now we have been editing articles with HTML in the content and constructing links, however, we receive so many articles nowadays that we can no longer do this.

If an article contains any HTML, it will be rejected. Always use the editor functionality to build links, bold letters, underline, etc... It works just like a wordprocessor.
