A query from a reader asks if it’s OK to republish the articles I linked to in my previous post. The answer is “yes”, because the articles are published on EzineArticles. In general you can republish any article you find on EzineArticles provided you follow some basic rules:

• You can’t change the article in any way (this includes changing any links or inserting your own links)
• You must attribute and link to EzineArticles
• You can only republish 25 articles per domain, with a 250 article maximum across all domains, per calendar year

See the publisher terms of service for full details on what you can and can’t do.

Of course, not everyone follows or respects these rules. Also, these rules don’t apply if you contact the author directly and get permission from them to republish their content.

You are free to add content before and after any article you republish, and to embed your own ads. It helps if you can make the content unique in some way. Some AdWords advertisers use articles like these to help improve the score of their landing pages.

If you do a lot of searching of content from EzineArticles, consider purchasing my Article Gatherer software, currently at version 1.1.1. It find, downloads and formats articles for you, making it easy to republish the articles in a WordPress blog or on a website.

In the meantime, here are some more articles I’ve written recently:

• Sanitize Your Online Profile Before Applying For A Job — Simple advice about cleaning your online footprint before going for that job interview.
• Understanding the BlackBerry Ecosystem: BES vs BIS — The difference between BES and BIS, useful if you’re a Blackberry developer.

Yeah, I’m keeping busy with article writing. Even upgraded to an EzineArticles premium membership to get the faster feedback and acceptance times.
