I submitted an artcile in bukisa as "top ways to get direct referrals for ptc".I got approved and earned 8 cents in some 2-4 days.Then suddenly I saw my article disapproved saying-"your content contains self promotion/advertising/referral links". I dint add any of those in my article..What does that mean.Anyone know what they are saying ????....Anyone else had similar problems???

I think your article must have contained a referral link which is not allowed in Bukisa. Some times these sites they take action only when someone reported your content. I've seen some articles which are unaltered PLR articles but they are allowed to stay on the site despite the fact that PLR contents are disallowed on Bukisa. I suspect someone must have reported your content to Bukisa and Bukisa has to take action.

No.I dint have any referral link there.Just a simple article mentioning the ways of getting referrals.Would bukisa take action just because someone reproted it???Wont they judge it???If its going to be like this,simply many users can report it and take away all of our articles....I simply dont know why somebody would report it in the first place

I saw your article. I didn't read it word for word but I did scan through it and I too agree that you didn't place any referral links in it. Perhaps you can clear it up with the admin. You're fortunate they didn't straight away ban you from the site.

People will report things for many reasons - including vindictiveness and jealousy. Sometimes the person thinks that they understand the Terms but has misunderstood. Bukisa will probably take action on a report first (by removing the article) but will be happy to reassess the article if you complain about its removal. I'm sure that if you politely query the grounds for removal, they will be happy to reassess the situation. Don't forget that Bukisa receive thousands of articles and that they do not have the personal interest in them that you, as the author, does. Don't consider it as a personal affront but, rather, as a possible error.

I had the exact same issue, but the conclusion is that Bukisa does not support referring/money earning guides when it comes to your own benefit. Though I do remember you had no referral links in yours, where I had in mine... I must reread their TOS again.

I didnt say they didnt support these articles at all, but I say they dont support them if it comes out to your own benefit. :) But i must reread thier ToS, it is to long time since last.

Are you sure of this conclusion.I have seen many guides for earning money.Besides,you could get tons of guides to earn money on bukisa there.Guess,we can make guides for bukisa,but not for external sites.Anyway,I dint include any kind of promotional links there.

You should contact them about your article, since you didn't put any referral links in it, you should be okay.
