Its both. And there is no hard core rule to say which one is accepted which one not. If editor or admin feels something like promotion, they can mark your article with the same comment and may ask for correction.Just to add to what Gulshanji said, your title will reveal how unique your article is, though it may not be always true. It is a proven fact that over 80% of the people do not tend to open the page unless the title is unique and what they are looking for.
Just curious to know ! Who decides that ? the editor or the admin? Or is it a joint decision?

That is OK but I think Usha wants to know who decides that a particular article is unique and would generate good revenues for the site. :blink:

Its really a surprise how this article is approved. As that heading itself is a big blunder. Instead of ' TIPS it was written IIPS.

Even I don't feel it to be a blunder though heading of an article is important one should double check it before submitting articles. :blink:

I don't think that anyone makes such mistake intentionally. But human errors in writing and editing sometime occur. It is okay to point out such mistake. When the mistake comes to notice, this should be corrected by author, editor or administration. Personally, I always correct my mistake even in forum posts whenever I detect this.

And that is the best way. Even I do that whenever I notice that I have committed a mistake on forums or anywhere. :)

I have noticed many such simple mistakes in my published articles...but never its title, as I take a lot of time to add an impressive title.
i often feel sad too, with my silly mistakes...sometimes, a single misplaced letter changes the meaning a lot. it's a tedious process to edit and resubmit it. so, i simply leave it. but once, I have edited an article seeking admin's permission in my 'grand mother' article. I misplaced hibiscus flowers with coconut flowers while giving the secret preparation of her hair oil ;)
you can try with coconut flowers too, perhaps it gives better results than hibiscus flowers ;) :laugh: :laugh:
Perhaps I am out of BBL-5. I submitted 5 articles out of which two approved finally. Three are still pending. But from those two I expected at least Rs 50 each but credited less.Though those are with over 1000 words. Now to get 50 writing 2000 words is quite tough for me. as I am not so good writer. If possible admin. Please take care.

Cheer up Ram. Winning or losing is different at least you particpated in the contest that makes a difference there are many users too here who are eligible to participate in the contest but did not particpate. There is still few days left you can write few more articles. Try to write something unique that would fetch you more CC. :)
