1. Article Author should have a web site.

Our article submission program requires you to have a web site address, not just the URL of an affiliate program you belong to.

2. No blatant advertisement.

You can gain legitimate exposure for your web site by using the article resource box at the end of every article you submit to our database. When used properly, it can bring tons of extra traffic to your web site. We review each and every article submitted. Any article not meeting our high standard will be deleted.

No promotion of affiliate programs in your articles.

Spamming of the article index will not be tolerated and will be reported to the authorities.

We check submissions on a daily basis and remove inappropriate material at our discretion.

3. You must own the material being submitted and agree to these rules:

a. By placing material into the LeadArticles.com Article Bank, you certify that you are the owner of said material.

b. You agree to allow LeadArticles.com to distribute your material on a non-exclusive, royalty-free basis, while you retain full rights to your written work.

c. You agree to let online publishers freely disperse your written material, as long as they do not change any of the content without your permission.

d. Distribution of your written material will be done on a non-paying basis and for exposure purposes only. No publisher is required to pay any fee for using material in the LeadArticles.com article bank.

4. Articles must be submitted using the name of a person not a company.

Because our publishers learn to associate great writing with an individual rather than a company, please submit written work using your first and last name and not the name of your company.

6. Do not use all CAPS in your headline.

Using all capital letters in your headline is considered shouting. Articles that don't adhere to our formatting guidelines will be deleted immediately.

7. Remove unnecessary symbols from the headline.

Your article headline should speak for itself -- therefore, we believe it is unnecessary to use any extra symbols to make it stand out.

Quotation marks ("") or an asterisk (*) are not allowed as they prevent our submission program from listing the title correctly. Articles submitted with extra symbols in the headline will be deleted.

8. When you submit an article, you're agreeing to:
