What if I cannot accept the article?

In this article, we aim to guide you through the process of rejecting an article. Understanding the reasons behind a rejection and the workflow that follows is crucial for ensuring smooth operations and maintaining professional relationships.

Consider the Reason for the Rejection

Licensing Violations

One of the most frequent reasons for article rejection is licensing violations. Articles containing links to unlicensed sites, especially casinos, are often rejected. 

Action: If the target link is not acceptable, reply to the automated email clearly stating so. Our Customer Success team will take care of cancellation. 

Off-Topic or Niche Mismatch

Content that does not align with a supplier's niche or target audience can also lead to rejection. For instance, an article about gambling might not be suitable for a website focused on health and wellness. Ensuring content relevance is key to avoiding such mismatches.

Action: Reply to the automated email stating that the target link is accepted if the article can be adapted. Include topic suggestions and content guidelines for a faster turnaround time. 

Editorial Standards Conflicts

Articles may be rejected if they conflict with a supplier's editorial standards or internal policies. This can include issues with tone, language, or subject matter that do not align with the supplier's guidelines. 

Action:  Reply to the automated email stating that the target link is accepted if the article can be adapted. Include content guidelines and relevant inspiration articles. You could even adapt the article yourself, and share it for review for a faster turnaround time.
