Will Ezine Articles lock your account if...

I can't find any striaght forward information on this. Seems like this should be in the TOS, but I can't find it.

Will Ezine reject an article if you wrote it, but you posted it on your blog first?

Of course not. They do make you swear it is yours, however.
In fact, many submit the same article to many sites.
I have stopped using EZA, as it seems to lost a lot of its
worth.

No.

I always post the articles on my blog first before submitting them to EZA. Normally, I would submit it to them on the same day I publish the article on the blog or wait until Google has indexed the blog post before submitting it to ezine.

An example:

Blog post Nov 14: Getting Started With Building Your Own Hydroponics System |

Ezine post on Nov 14: Simple Steps to Building Your Own Hydroponics System

No but I have heard of people having to "prove" it is their work etc.

This is what I thought. I have done the same. Do you happen to know if it says anywhere explicitly on the EZA's site that this practice is ok. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I have been told that people's accounts have been banned for this and I am trying to be as white hat as possible.

yup, happened to me a few times when I'd posted the article on GoArticles first.

I always post on blog first, then EZA, then GoArticles/ArticleDashboard/ArticleBase

I take it that if I havn't made a blog but instead used a basic website template to upload articles on it's still the same rules. I can add the new article to my website and then upload it to ezinearticles right after, whilst linking the article back to my website?

.........................no

First thing I post on my blog posts is....

"Posted By (Whatever Your Ezine Pen Name Is)"

Followed by the article

Then after Ezine accepts the article I delete the "Posted by XXXX".

I have never had any problems with having to prove it was my work....

You can do that but I recommend waiting a day or two to let your site get indexed first. You want to be sure that the SEs show that your site is the first one to have it or you could end up passing a lot of the Google love to EZA.

Well, I guess I can answer that one. I just put 25 articles on ezine that all were on my blog first. Ezine was happy to have them. Now, I'm putting them on other directories and no, I haven't spun them, nor has G or ezine penalized me.
