Rules and Guidelines for writing
1. Content of the post must be original and should not be published anywhere else on the internet. The article cannot be republished on any other website including your own blog/website before or after it is published on GooglePlusTutorials. However, we understand that tutorials or news articles related to a service like Google+ can often be on similar topics due to the nature of tutorials and news. So, we are fine with that till the time you write your own unique tutorials (with your own content and possibly additional information not provided anywhere else on the web) on similar topic with your own screenshots and images. However, we always prefer completely original ideas and so, original ideas would have better chance of approval. NOTE: Even if you write on similar tutorials and topics, you are not allowed to copy content directly from any other website and your content must always be unique. Plagiarism will not be accepted at any cost and we run plagiarism checker to verify the same.
2. We do not accept grammatically incorrect or unprofessional articles. Please try to keep your articles as unbiased as possible especially in service reviews, recommended lists etc. Any attack or irresponsible comment towards any individual or organization would not be accepted. Pointing out flaws is absolutely fine but hateful, attacking or irresponsible comments on any individual, organization or service is not acceptable. This applies to all individuals, organizations and services including but not limited to Google and Microsoft and their various services.
3. This website is intended to provide genuine help for Google+ users and so, the quality of information in the articles must be quite high as well as relevant. So, we might need to reject articles at times due to the requirements. However, if you write “unique” relevant tutorials/articles in proper English and with proper images or videos included then you would probably never need to worry about the same.
4. We reserve the right to modify the articles if needed to suit the website. These modifications are mainly done in order to improve the quality of the articles, to include additional images or for modifying content to suit the website. We might also modify the author box to suit the website though we will probably keep your links intact unless they are linking to malicious sites, adult sites, redirected domains, affiliate links etc.
5. Tutorials must be backed up with proper images, screenshots and/or videos. Please check AwesomeScreenshot.com, Fireshot and ScreenGrab and install the browser extension relevant to your web browser for capturing screenshots. We recommend the first two extensions as they allow you to modify the image to include arrows, text, crop image, highlight etc. which is very helpful while creating tutorials.
6. You can use anchor texts of your choice in your author box but the backlinks cannot point to malicious websites, adult sites, redirected domains, affiliate links etc. The content of your articles cannot link to any such websites too. If you have any doubts, then please contact us about the same before writing.
7. If you are not using your own screenshots, then please use either a royalty free or creative commons image (with proper credit) if possible. A good place to find creative commons images is to use the Flickr image search with creative commons filtering.
8. You should not write articles around topics to justify a link to your blog and you should not actively encourage visitors to visit your blog.
9. Articles must be informative and not just filler content. We do not accept extremely short articles and they must at least be 300+ words. However, quality tutorials with detailed images and screenshots might be accepted with lesser content and would be judged on case by case basis.
10. Please provide actual facts with relevant credit links from authority websites in your articles. While quoting any person or source, please provide the link to the original source in the relevant section of the article.
