ADVANCED HEADS UP FOR ARTICLE MARKETERS:

New Year - New Design - New Features = More Traffic & Visibility For Your Articles!

"It's simple: Become a priority author and you won't have to wait a week (or more!) for your article to appear, plus they are featured above all others!"

 

But Hurry - This is a special introductory price, and then it goes up in just a few days.

 

You already know that submitting your articles to the top article directories has many advantages...

 

But what if... you could have your articles seen in under a day... approved at a much faster pace than the usual several days to a week or more?

 

What if... even better, you could totally and completely remove all other ads that appear alongside your articles?

 

(We all know that article directories make their money from advertising, yet how often does it burn you to see ads that make the owner money - when YOU should be earning it because of your article?)

 

What if... you could include videos into your articles, to really grab the search engines and suck up new subscribers and buyers?

 

 

Now you can do all of these and more, for less than 57 cents a day.

 

Get your articles approved in usually less than 1 business day (typically less than 6 hours), with no ads on your article pages, on one of the most popular, PR4 article sites.

 

In fact, it's one of *the* longest running article sites online! (Since 1998).

 

 

Brand New for 2010: Priority/Featured Author Status at www.Dime-Co.Com:

 

It's official - Dime-co.com has just reached a new limit! As of the close of 2009, 1,030,194 ARTICLE page views in 2009! (yes, one MILLION articles being read!)

 

What do you care?

Two things are happening at dime-co.com, that may affect your articles:

 

1) I've removed most ads from the site - we're revising our strategies and changing the ads that appear. Now they're much more targeted, and much LESS on a page.

 

2) We've rebuilt it, but I've tweaked the design even more, and it goes live THIS week. (but you can see the sneak peek here of what the new front page and here for the category pages will look like!) The category pages that are currently live, as you can see, are not 100% finalized, we're still plugging in the last part of the categories, and we're updating the article submissions. We want your featured articles!

After having many people request the ability to have their articles approved at a faster rate, plus the fact that we wanted to remove most of the ads from the site, we've now created a Priority Author account!

 

As of later this week, if you become a "Priority Author", your articles will be approved almost as fast as you submit them ;).

 

Here's the nitty gritty for your articles:

 

As a "Priority Featured Author" you get:

• Articles approved in under 1-2 business days (typically less than 6 hours depending on the time of day you submit. Articles are generally not approved on legal holidays or weekends (but may be if we choose to).
   
• Your articles are featured above all free/guest articles, plus spotlighted.
   
• New Featured Categories have been created so that you always have first visibility. ONLY Priority authors can submit to these featured categories, and all featured categories will be linked in the new design's menu.
   
• You get a private log in so you can directly submit them easily - and yes, you can include Pen Names if you wish.
   
• Editing Assistance included where needed - Typically, when an author submits an article that violates our guidelines (i.e., all caps in title, bad formatting, spelling errors), we usually delete them. However, Priority Authors don't have to worry about that (within reason!). If there are minor adjustments needed, like spacing, occasional missed spelling mistakes, formatting tweaks, we'll do it for you! Don't worry, we'll never change your words/sentences. And obviously we will not reformat every single article (by that time you should get it right). But we understand that hey, sometimes we all miss a mistake - even spell checkers miss them if its a common word (i.e., their, there or they're).
  
  When we review free articles, we quick-scan them and they get an immediate decision (often the delete button). However, Priority Authors will have us read through and ensure your article is approved. *Note, they still must meet our guidelines of not being spammy (blatant ad pitch), or a topic that does not violate our acceptance guidelines*. In those cases, your article would be rejected.
   
• IF an article is rejected - we will give you the reasons why and what to do to correct it. (Free/Guest authors are never notified if their articles are rejected.) The fact is, this is very unlikely to happen with our editing assistance as stated above!
   
• You can pre-schedule articles if you wish them to be approved at a certain time frame. i.e., if you have a press release, but you don't want it to be live prior to say 5 days from now, you can simply change the date to 5 days ahead. We'll approve it on that day. **This feature is not available to free/guest authors. Any free/guest author who does this has their articles immediately deleted.** (You can ignore the warning in the site as you'll have priority status).
   
• YES You can include affiliate links - *within reason*. We allow a maximum of 3-4 links in the entire document. (We prefer them in the Sig file, but sometimes people do link to sites for a reason in the body of the article). Please don't abuse this though otherwise it will be stopped.
  
  ** Exception ** if you have an article that compares sites/features (i.e., 3 or 4 different software programs that do the same thing), or your article is on say the "top 10 social networking sites", then yes, obviously you can put in additional links without risking deletion.
   
• Ad Free! Yes, your article pages will have NO other ads on them! By being a priority / featured author, we respect that you are obviously looking to promote either your own site or a product you recommend (typically). For that reason, we are creating a special, exclusive page to you, which includes NO ads! And we'll let you place *your own* ads in the page.
   
• Submit Video articles included! YES you can submit video AND text articles together if you wish! Video articles are a new feature we're promoting, and we'd love to spotlight yours! One note: these are specifically for videos that you have hosted on your own site or other site such as Youtube or Amazon etc. If you need us to host the videos directly, there is an additional $10/mo charge for bandwith/hosting.
   
• Your articles will be spotlighted both on the appropriate category page and in rotation on the front page every month!
   
• All articles remain on the site for one year or more! (We have over 38,000 articles, and many have been there for up to 2 years).
   
• (Coming momentarily) Add keywords to your articles to improve search engine rankings! This is a feature we do NOT allow free/guest articles to utilize. (We delete any keywords guest authors submit because most abuse it).
   
• (Coming momentarily) Have the ability to see exactly how many people have viewed your articles. This will be plugged into the site update planned for January 11th.
   
• (Coming momentarily)  Special private forum and support desk for article authors so that you can connect with others, suggest new features, but additionally get fast, private support directly from me. You'll have direct contact with me immediately - however the forum and support desk will be up mid-January.
   
• And of course there will be more, but let's get your account in and running, shall we?

There are two options you can choose - and neither are long term, you aren't forced to pay for a year, simply cancel any time if you wish. (Please remember, these are non-refundable as the service is given).

Simply choose the level you want, and then submit payment.

 

Guidelines

1. Content not accepted: Please do not submit articles related to: adult/pornographic in nature (sexually descriptive, i.e., sex toys is a "no", but lingerie is okay if it is informational), hate/racism (obviously), religious, psychic, hypnotherapy (our choice), and of course, no blatant pitches (ads that look like articles but are hyped up ads).
    
2. You are free to cancel your monthly billing at any time - however, please note that refunds will not be processed (as with any site, cancellation needs to be done at least 24 hours PRIOR to your next payment to come out). This is a service and therefore, non-refundable.
    
3. If at a time you cancel your monthly billing, all articles will revert to free status and site-wide ads will be replaced back on the pages.

Pretty simple and straightforward!

 

Level 1: Submit unlimited articles per month with all the features above, plus your articles are spotlighted across the network!  Special introductory rate: $17/mo  (Warning: this goes up to $27/mo on Monday, January 18th!)

 

OR

 

Level 2 - EXTREMELY LIMITED to just 50 45 people!: This is for you if you'd LIKE to submit articles, but aren't entirely sure how to write them (or don't have time!). You can submit your own articles, plus we'll write at least two full (quality!) articles for you each and every month, with the focus and sig file to promote a product/site of your choice. This can change every month if you wish, you just need to notify us in advance of what you want us to focus on.  In addition, you will be able to take the articles and post them elsewhere if you wish (i.e., your own blog). You simply cannot sell them to others as private label rights etc.  Special new year rate: $27/mo  (Warning: this goes up to $47/mo on Monday, January 18th)
