Would you put a non-clickable link into an article? Maybe it's worthwhile?
I have noticed some of my articles have appeared on websites without the "live link' at the bottom. I believe some of this could be because webmasters are coming to an article directory and simply copying and pasting the text of an article-perhaps even unaware of the need to put an active link.
So why not put the link to your site as text -not a clickable link but just the text address.
Traffic should come by people seeing the address and typing in the non-clickable text link; Links like this could even be placed in the main body of an article.
