since you mentioned copyright, just would like to tell you about an incident that made EzineArticles suspend my account with them. As what I had been doing several times already, I would write an article and submit it to several article directories. Some article directories would approve my articles almost right away, while some, like EzineArticles, would take at least a week. Anyway, to cut this short, two days after I first submitted my article, some guy “scraped” my article and submitted it to other article directories with the end result being me getting suspended several days later by EzineArticles for submitting an article that, by then, had already been attributed to somebody else. I appealed my case but I’m still on suspended status with EzineArticles. What should I do?

It’s great to see you’re working out the kinks.

You don’t actually have to get your material copyrighted, you just need to add a copyright statement in your footer. Something like mine in my footer.

I can’t think of a good tutorial off hand for the nofollow attribute, but I can show you exactly how to use it right now.

Find each link in your code that you want to nofollow i.e. contact, affiliate links etc. and add rel=”nofollow” after

I’m working on getting a copyright for my blog, do you know where I can set it up and get it for free?

Also I would like to ask you if you know of a good tutorial I can use to do the point you made on number 2: leaking page rank and how to use no follow attribute.

I would very much appreciate if you can point me to the right direction.

Thank you much!

I love your blog and I really value your opinion. Can you take a look at my blog and let me know what you think?

I’m glad you’re feeling better and that you weren’t offended. I hate seeing bloggers bash other blogs/services. I did this to help you and my other readers who may be making some of the same mistakes and hopefully it sent a little traffic your way as well.

Very true but I still see some of these common mistakes everyday. I’m glad the post served a purpose for you though.

Mark,

I did the same thing when I began online. I thought the more links the better. Then I did what you mentioned and saw a much better conversion, not to mention it just looks better.
