Well i would like to have a collection of exclusive articles written for use only with this website so that the articles are 100% unique.
Most web hosting articles are reproduced on various other sites and that takes away the usefullness of them. Having unique content will bring visitors back to this directory rather than having them read an article and realising they have read the same thing somewhere else. I get offers from other directories to display their articles on this site with a link back to them, so i could in fact get 100's of free articles if i wanted to - but they would not be unique and not add any original content to my site.
However you could write a similar article on your site with the same theme as long as it was written in another form so that it did not look in anyway identical to the articles written here.

Its not logical to think that if you wrote 14 articles that i would not give you any extra advertising on the featured hosts page. I am a reasonable person and fair. The reason i stated 15 articles is that it would be unfair if i suddenly did not want the articles any more and just immedietly removed your ad from the featured hosts page, however i don't want to have to place your advert there forever and need an option to opt out should i choose. So in that sense i would give you 6 months more if you wrote 15. If you wrote 10 -14 i would give you some more months but not 6 - if you wrote 2-3 i might just give you a couple of weeks. So i left it to my descretion until you reach 15 articles. But i am reasonable i would not give you just one more month if you did a fair amount of articles like 7-9 for example.

As soon as i see the first article i would then read it and see if its what i am looking for. I may not like it or it may not be exactly what i am looking for. Either way, if i decide to display it and as soon as it is displayed i will place your links up.

So basically these rules are just to protect the both of us so that we are happy with the exchange.

If you have any more questions, just let me know.
