What Your URL Tells About You
The EzineArticles article review team editors are trained to check links that are included with every article submission…and your URL (a fancy term for the website link included in your Resource Box below the article body) tells us a lot about you and the quality or confidence that a reader should have in you and your site.
You gain quality points by: When we determine that you’re a real world expert on the topic you’re writing about because your website continues to offer more products and services that are related to your area of expertise as outlined in your article, bonus points if your related products and services are highly specialized and narrowly defined instead of broadly matched, your website is up, your website is fast, your name and/or face is on your website, you provided multiple ways you can be contacted, your ad to content ratio doesn’t exceed 15% ads, and your website content is largely unique.
You lose quality points by: Having a dead URL (meaning your website doesn’t come up when we check), forcing your visitors to a squeeze page only, having a pure MFA (Made For Adsense) site with no exit clicks other than ads, failing to include a contact us form, failing to identify yourself or the humans who are behind your website, hiding behind a privacy protected whois registration, having multiple unrelated focuses (Example: You’re a ski expert, but there are blackjack ads on your site), having a .info domain, not having your own domain name, your website has broken links or broken images, your website is not indexed yet or banned by the major search engines, you give your first time visitors an instant pop up ad, you failed to properly title each of your webpages, or if you are clearly trying to game the search engines with keyword stuffing or other obvious abuses.
Hope this is helpful to share with you some of what our editors are looking for when they click on your resource box links to check for quality.
