The easiest way is to use the Add button on every blog page on Yeepet to share your posts. The button is located right below the blog title.

Ask or answer questions in Facebook, Myspace, Yahoo! , forums or blogs while providing the link back to your posts. Remember, don't be a spamer when you do this.

2. Write Quality Content

Write new, good, unique content on Yeepet.com. Others will find you and link to you to use your good content.

Please make sure the titles and bodies of your blogs are search engine friendly, meaning that you need to incorporate search engine friendly keywords into the post title and the actual post so that search engines will be most likely to index your pages quickly. When users type in some keywords in the search engines, your post that has the keywords in the title or body will show up in the search results. This way you will get a better chance to generate more ad impressions and potentially more clicks on your pages.

4. I want to change my current primary picture. How to do it?

If you want to set an existing picture on Yeepet as your primary picture, here is how:

1. Go to your page My Pictures by clicking the Gallery tab in the header. The My Pictures link is shown in the submenu. Click it.

2. All your pictures are displayed on this page. Click on the picture you want to use as your primary picture. It takes you to the picture details page. Click the Edit Picture link. The Edit Picture link becomes bold.

3. Locate the text "Is Main Image:" at the bottom of the page. Change it from No to Yes. Your picture is set to the primary picture.

If you want to add a new primary picture, simply upload a new picture first, then repeat the above steps.

5. I'm logged in on the site, but why I get redirected to My Profile when I try to post in a forum?

You need to log into the forum first before making any post. If you are logged into the website but get redirected to My Profile page everytime when you try to post in a forum, it means your session in the forum has timed out.

The Forums is integrated into Yeepet.com as a third party software. We've implemented the single sign-on feature that allows you to log into the Forums automatically once you are logged into the website. But sometimes if you stay on Yeepet.com for a long time, your forum session times out more quickly than the rest of the site. So at this moment you are logged out the forum while you are still logged into Yeepet.com. In this case, when you try to make a post on a forum page, you cannot (and see the redirect issue) as you are logged out.

You need to re-log in to the forum first for your posting. Just simply log out of Yeepet.com by clicking the Log Out link at the very top of the page, then re-log in. Go to the Forums page again, and see the Welcome mesage at the top right corner underneath the header. Now you are logged into the Forums and you are good to post.

6. Do you have specific requirements for my blogs as a Featured Contributor?

Originality. All your blog posts must be your original work. Plagiarism is against the law.

Word count. Your blogs should have at least 250 words each. We retain the right to the blogs and posts published on Yeepet. We will train you on effective writing and SEO, and guide you through interesting topics to write on from time to time. So it's a fun and educational experience that you can barely gain elsewhere.

No advertisement for your business, products or service in your blog posts. However, you can recommend quality pet products or services related to your blog topics that the visitors find useful, and add links to your recommendations. Build a trusing relationship between you and your audience.

Also, feel free to add your signature with the link to your pet business or site at the end of each blog.

No PR news in your blog. Visit Petviu.com if you want to post PR news for free.

7. How do I post an adoptable pet?

If you just want to post an adoptable pet who is not associated with your shelter or rescue group you added on Yeepet, please follow the steps below.

You need to log in first in order to post a pet for adoption.

- Go to the Adoption channel at http://www.yeepet.com/adoption/

- Click the Post Pet link located in the submenu under the header.

- Complete the pet profile and click the Save button.

- You return to the pet profile page. Your pet for adoption has been posted.

You may also post your pets for adoption to your shelter or rescue group on Yeepet if you listed your shelter or rescue group on our Adoption page. Visit Question 3 below for how to do it.

8. Editorial Guidelines of Yeepet.com

Editorial Guidelines of Yeepet.com

These guidelines are not meant to stifle your creativity nor give you a headache. They are to ensure quality content for our users and visitors and hone you as a writer. The guidelines apply to blogs, articles, and any other submitted editorial content. These guidelines are subject to change, and it is your responsibility to stay up to date on them.

1. MUST BE YOUR ORIGINAL WORK: That means no copy and pasting from the public domain, no plagiarism, no ghostwriting, no Private Label Rights (PLR) articles, no advertisements, and no press releases. We want to read what you have to say.

2. MUST BE PET-RELATED: Yeepet.com is a community of pet lovers. Unless otherwise stated, you can safely assume that any assignment or suggested topic is pet-related. For example, if the topic of "How to Survive the Holidays" were assigned to you, that means "How to Survive the Holidays With Your Pets" or "How to Survive the Holidays For Pets."

3. MUST USE CORRECT ENGLISH: This includes spelling, punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, and capitalization. Incorrect usage of the English language reflects poorly on Yeepet.com and your writing. Please proofread before submission. In particular, note these rules from The Chicago Manual of Style for capitalizing blog and article titles:

- Capitalize the first letter in each word but avoid conjunctions and prepositions.

- Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions (such as, "than," "because," "if" and "that") are capitalized.

- Lowercase all articles, prepositions, and coordinate conjunctions (such as, "and," "but" and "so") when they are not the first or last word.

- Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive.

For stylistic purposes, please also apply these rules when creating your blog and article titles:

- Excessive punctuation is unnecessary. Use periods rarely for emphasis (...), and no more than three. Use exclamation marks rarely. One exclamation mark (!) or question mark (?) is plenty. Do not use more than one of either or both at the same time.

- Your title is what pulls your readers deeper into your work. Make it count. Short and sweet is a great motto for this. For example, "10 Toys Under $10" is far better than "I Saw Some Great Toys While I Was out Today...".

4. MUST NOT CONTAIN OFFENSIVE CONTENT: Profane, racist, defamatory, libelous, violence-oriented, obscene, or insulting language will not be tolerated. Your submissions must not contain pornography, use or advocacy of weapons, illegal drugs, prescription drugs, tobacco products, or hard alcohol. This is by no means an exhaustive list. Yeepet.com reserves the right to reject and/or remove any editorial content at any time.

5. MUST BE ACCURATE: It is the writer's responsibility to ensure the content of their submission is accurate.

6. MUST HAVE PROPER ATTRIBUTION: If you quote any source other than yourself, you must give that source attribution. Also, do not post any pictures that are not within legal bounds for you to do so or that are not the sole property of the writer. The writer is ultimately responsible for ensuring the legality of any content or pictures in their respective works.

Blog Writing Guide

It's great to share your knowledge and opinion; it's even better to be heard when you're doing it. The following tips are provided to help our blogging team attract more readers to their posts. Happy blogging!

Would I read this? This is a great question to ask yourself before posting a blog. Check out your headline first. Is it so intriguing that if you saw it, you would just have to click and find out more? Be honest and objective with yourself. Move onto the blog. Is it entertaining or informing enough to keep your reader engaged through the whole posting?

1. Short, sweet and concise: Some topics take longer than others, but it is generally better for you to keep it short and sweet. Why? Because many of us have short attention spans and want entertainment and information in bite-size form, not term paper format. We all hated those.

2. Get to the point quickly: Write down steps, tips or advice in the 1-2-3 format or in bullet points and briefly explain what they are. People need to understand what you are talking about quickly.

3. Proper title capitalization: Capitalize the first letter in each word in the blog title but avoid conjunctions and prepositions.

4. Great grammar: It's difficult to think highly of a writer's opinion who can't properly use the English language. We probably all need a brush up from time to time, so try to review every now and again. Here are some common grammatical errors that can make a good blog look bad:

It's and its:

- "It's" is a contraction for "it is" or "it has." If you say a sentence out loud and can replace "it's" with "it is" or "it has," you have it right.

- "Its" is a possessive pronoun, as in, "Yeepet.com is its name."

You're and your:

- "You're" is a contraction for "you are." For example, "You're going to buy some new fish?"

- "Your" is another possessive pronoun, as in, "That is your dog eating off the table."

There, their, and they're:

- "There" is used in a variety of ways such as, "There is my cat," or "Take that over there."

- "Their" is a plural possessive pronoun, as in "Their mother will arrive soon." It is only used when there is a belonging of something. It is their mother.

- "They're" is a contraction for "they are" or "they were." "They're going to Orlando today."

5. Pictures: Same goes for pictures. Nothing is like a 500-word blog about the smallest dog in the world, and there is no picture of him. Pictures really make your blogs stand out and more appealing to online readers. We love pictures. Make sure to comply with Yeepet.com's policies on picture posting.

6. Links: add links properly whenever needed to your blogs make sense to others. If you are talking about something exciting and cool but without pointing to the original page, users have to google it to find out which is such a drag and not user-friendly. But keep in mind we don't want to endorse any product, busines, service or organization unless you feel strong about it and want to highly recommended it as a consumer. Eventually you don't want your post to sound too commercial and this could decrease the value of your perspective and your credibility in our network.

7. Break it up: One huge lump of text just screams, "Don't read me." It looks like too much work to tackle the whole thing. Break up your blog into easy-to-digest paragraphs, and it will look far more appealing to your reader.

8. Write what you know and love: If you do not know nor care anything about the topic you chose to write about, by all means find another one. No one wants to read from someone who has complete apathy about their subject.

9. Lots of internal linking: It's always good to include internal links to other pages on Yeepet.com. This way you help our users explore more cool content we have.

9. How often do you ship the gift I redeemed to me?

We work with our sponsors closely. The products are shipped once a month.

10. How do I know if someone wants to become my friend on Yeepet?

Your Mailbox -> Friend Requests -> Received folder allows you to see all friend requests sent by other members on yeepet.com. Meanwhile, you will receive this request by email.

Every friend request in the mailbox is indicated with a status either Pending or Accepted. A new request with the Pending status needs your approval. All friend requests you accepted show you Accepted and the users have been added in your friend list.
