Zujava Content Policy

Why do we not allow certain topics on Zujava? It's not because we're being mean, and it's not because we don't like you. We do! We really, really do. We just can't allow certain topics to be published on Zujava because of the risk associated with them, or the really bad wrap those topics have. We're talking about acai berries, MLM, miracle cures, and the like. 

What do these topics all have in common? They all make false claims. Sure acai berries taste good, and maybe one person or two benefited from the MLM scheme, but in general, these topics have benefited no one. For the betterment of the entire site, we ask that these topics remain off-limits. If you do wind up publishing content featuring these topics, be warned: it will get unpublished. 

• Mature content. Make sure your content is suitable for everyone to read, not just your college friends. That means generally keep it PG or PG-13. Keep swearing to a minimum (just don't do it in excess), don't include graphic images, and don't write about excessive violence.
• Adult content. This can include photos as well as text, videos, and other media. We define adult content as sexually explicit, in text or images (or video). Even borderline images and text will be unpublished.If you link to an adult content site, this is also a violation. Other topic violations: sex toys, sex acts, penis enlargement, fetishes, or linking to sites containing any of this content.
• Gambling. Google Adsense has strict content policies on gambling, and we simply can't allow this topic on Zujava. This includes linking to gambling sites, as well as tutorials on gambling games. If you'd like to write about this topic, you can't do it here. 
• Sales of weapons, firearms, ammunition, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, beer, wine, alcohol, tobacco. This also includes links to sites about these topics. It also includes information about these topics, not just sales pages.
• MLM, traffic exchanges, get paid for surveys, get paid for surfing the web, and many Clickbank affiliate products. 
• Get rich quick schemes. You know they are spammy, we know, and so does everyone else. And, they don't belong on Zujava. Instead, real information on real topics is a much better choice!
• Traffic exchange schemes. This includes websites that offer to exchange traffic in some way for clicks, buying traffic, or buying links. 
• Miraculous medical cures. If you doubt yourself whether this product would actually work, and the claims seem outrageous, then the topic falls into the "forbidden" category. Remember the acai berries we were talking about? We mean topics like those. If you're selling ebooks related to these topics, please use caution: most of these will be unpublished. 
• Downloading. Here at Zujava, we believe in the artist receiving full compensation for their work. That means we forbid the topics of movie downloads, music downloads, and video game downloads, plus other media related download topics. Even if the links are to legal downloads, we do not endorse these topics and feel they don't add much to the site. (If you'd like to write about downloading the latest episode of True Blood, why not just write about True Blood instead? There are a million spins and niches you could write about!)
• Coloring pages. It turns out coloring pages are a real headache. They might contain copyrighted images, stolen images, and images used without real permission from the source. So, if you publish a coloring page, please know it will be unpublished unless you have express permission from Zujava to publish a coloring page. You can contact support for permission, and we will look at your draft. However, we have very high quality standards on coloring pages, so make sure prior to contacting us that these pages are outstanding.
• Wallpapers. No, not the stuff you stick on your walls, but screen saver wallpapers for your computer. This is just about the same idea as coloring pages, and has a very high ratio of junk to good content, or illegally used photos to properly used ones. 
• Topics promoting things that could be harmful to your health. 
• Other topics not covered here: Your leaf could wind up unpublished if Zujava finds other reasons to make this content unavailable to the reader. This means if we reserve the right to question the content for any reason, and to unpublish it.

We aren't exactly the grammar police, but to maintain the integrity of Zujava, we will routinely unpublish a leaf if the grammar has been found to be subpar. 

The most common problem with grammar that you'll encounter is where English is not the author's first language, and it's obvious. If you misspell a word or make a few mistakes, we will not unpublish your leaf. We know when English is your first language. We will unpublish your leaf if the grammar is awkward and unreadable, or hard to read.

Why, you ask? This is to maintain a high level of quality on Zujava. When a reader comes to a page, we want them to feel the site is a professional yet fun atmosphere. A leaf riddled with typos and grammar mistakes does not convey that, and advertisers will not take that seriously. If your leaf has been unpublished, please consider making revisions or moving the content offsite. All in all, this decision comes down to creating a good user experience that will benefit everyone.

It's very likely that if you're leaf is unpublished or locked, it will never be accepted for republishing just based on the content, or maybe you chose a URL with the word "penis" or "cocaine" in it. 

If your leaf has been unpublished, please consider moving it to another website (maybe your own?) instead. This way, you'll have full control over your content, and won't have to deal with these restrictions. Please keep in mind the same Google Adsense Content Policy does apply to your own domains.
