The rules for submitting your articles to ArticleDirectory.co.za are simple, but they must be followed! In addition to these rules we ask that you give your articles a South African context. Don't waste your time, we delete hundreds of articles daily. We only publish articles that are useful for a reader in South Africa. We will also accept articles that are of international relevance, but will not accept articles that are specific to a country and has no relevance to the South African audience. For example: internet marketing can be relevant to any country, but mortgage bonds are specific in each country and if you are not in South Africa, you don't know anything about mortgage bonds in South Africa, so don't bother adding your article. Our niche at ArticleDirectory.co.za is articles for South African readers ONLY. With that in mind please read the rest of the publishing rules and make sure you follow them.
