Why Is It Necessary That Free Article Directories Take Your Home Address?
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Most of us online use article directories to gain both an increase in visitors and free one way links for their website or blog. Marketers are likely to sign up for a bunch. But I have realized that most article directories will let you submit articles with just a user name and password while others want your full address. So I was curious to know why would article directory service need your home address? What purpose do they want with it?
Well some article directories will send you free stuff from time to time like glasses, hats and pencils with their company logo on it. Do you need any of that stuff? Of course not.
I could understand if the article directory were going to pay you for your article by check then it would make sense. But I do not know of any article directories that pays.
Then there are others that sell your address to companies that will send you junk mail and sorts. Have you registered for a bunch of article directories and discovered an increase in junk mail? That is probably how you you got it.
They surely not coming over your home to visit you. Eat dinner and be your friend and keep you company. So why do they need your address? Who really knows the answer but I would not give up my home address until I checked them out thoroughly first.
They are free directory and they should ask for unique articles and not your address. The deal is that writers give you content and in return you get free links to your page and hopefully needed traffic. Where that writer live should not matter. If they dislike your article then they can simply reject it and they do not need your address to do that. They are not going to send the article police to my residence right?
So the next time your thinking about registering for another article directory service that ask for your home address just do a little research on them first. See what others have to say before you give up your residency.
