The Guest Article Quality Assurance – Flowchart

Friday, April 6, 2012 11:17

Moderating our Articles Gallery to make sure all the content there meets our requirements is not easy. We have to explain what the “quality” is again and again.

At home I have the quality assurance flowchart created on my white board – you can see the screenshot here. Now I have created a prettier version of it which you can download and give to your content writers or use yourself. It helps to better understand what we are up for:

  • Original ideas and styles (“unique” is not enough!)
  • Content “written for the web” – meaning it has subheadings and images;
  • Content not stuffed with self-serving links (we allow no more than 2 links per article);
  • Content which is easy to copy paste and which does not require long editing and re-formatting work.

Feel free to download it here (click the image for larger version):

    Great infographic, Ann! I love it. I am also partial to flow-charts, so this especially appeals to me!
