QualityGuestPosts Tips & Tricks: Why Are Websites Rejecting My Submissions?

Blogging has been all the rage in the past decade (check this out). As we enter an age of information and technology, people from all walks of life have begun to demand one thing: answers.

That’s right. We have all sought out answers to individual questions that raise our curiosities and interests. This is the very reason why search engines were born. Their sole purpose is to make the world’s knowledge closer to people’s reach; to readily answer all the whys and hows plaguing people’s thoughts. If you’ve used a search engine before (and we surely think you have), you know exactly how fast data is delivered to the inquiring user. In a matter of seconds, answers are flashed before their very eyes, with thousands – no, millions of search results turning up on the search pages. It’s incredible, really. And to think that all this technology was conceived by great minds of several generations. One invention gave way to another. One idea gave birth to another. Every failure made room for growth. It is astonishing how every decision, every event, and every mistake have somehow happened to create the very reality we have now.

But since we’re on the topic, where do all these data come from anyway? Search engines are like couriers, you see. They deliver information to users; they simply predict whatever it is the user wishes to know. However, the source of all these data – of the whole world’s information – lie somewhere else. In multiple locations, to be exact.

All this information is supplied by users themselves. Each and every one of us is well-versed and/or experienced in one way or another. We are all smart, intelligent, or even a prodigy in our own chosen fields. This gives us an opportunity to share whatever we know to the rest of the world. The internet happens to be the perfect tool for it. You can think of it as the world’s consciousness where individual thoughts gather and interrelate with one another. The internet, as a whole, is a massive database filled individual facts, opinions, insights, and many other things. It is filled with almost anything under the sun – and even beyond it.

With all that being said, this means that you can be a content creator too. You can share whatever it is you’re knowledgeable about and help other people learn through your personal experiences and insights. Blogging is an umbrella term we use to describe that “voluntary and casual sharing of thoughts” be it truth or not. You can be a blogger too.

But since you’re here, it tells me that you probably tried and failed. You’ve probably reached out to various guest posting sites hoping to get your content published only to have your work rejected in the end. Don’t worry; that’s all part of the process. Blogging is something anyone can do but not everyone hits it big on the first few tries. Don’t let a few setbacks dishearten you either. All you need to do is find out what you did wrong and fix it. If you don’t know where to begin looking, maybe this can help you out:

Maybe You’re Writing Content for All the Wrong Reasons

Yes, you may think that websites don’t mind but they really do. When you send them content that obviously sounds like it has other motives rather than simply being informative (e.g. marketing tactic, sounds too salesy, etc.), there’s a pretty good chance the website you’re trying to reach out to will reject your article. Most websites, especially information-driven ones, carefully screen every article for quality. If your writing doesn’t have anything new to offer and only tries to pitch in a certain product or service, your article is doomed to be rejected wherever you send it – unless you pay for it, of course. Websites like Quality Guest Posts have guide lines for creating content so if you really want to hit two birds with one stone (write and advertise at the same time), follow the guidelines carefully and hope to reach a middle ground.

It Could Be That the Matter You Want to Discuss Is Overused or Obsolete

Some topics have been talked about over and over again that they don’t seem to be very useful for users anymore. If your article doesn’t bring something new to the table, there’s a high chance the website will refuse it. Don’t take it personally. You may have written it splendidly but they might not see the value it will give to users. With all that being said, make sure that all your articles add something new to the pool of information the internet has accumulated over the years. Don’t simply paraphrase or reiterate previous thoughts or arguments of other writers. That would be redundant. Instead, try to add something new – something valuable.
