39 words matching 9% of the text? Is ezine accept this article?

[kelvintang]

I outsource my article and want to use it for ezinearticle. When I use copyscape check the article, it says "The page below has 39 words matching 9% of the text". Do you think ezinearticle gonna accept this article?

Thanks

Why not just try and accept it and see if they will.

when I submit to ezine I always try to make it 100% and no copies found on copyscape

Thanks

The trick is they are sticklers for keyword stuffing.
They have a certain percentage.

The way around it is to declare something other than
your real keyword. It's kind of a crazy rule, as it is easy
to get around. Your articles get ranked based on what google
thinks the article is optimized for anyway. And the internal
search will show it as well.

If your article is for college , and you want to include
that phrase a lot, don't declare it as your keyword. Declare
something like university , and mention that 3 times or so.
Use college as much as you think looks and sounds good without
worrying about mentioning it a few more times than they want.
Be and use your "real" keyword in the title.

As long as you write your article for Ezine and do not have more then 5% keyword density, then you are in a good position. If you wrote a 200 word article, than no more than 10 of your total wording should be keyword phrases. Anything more, then you are ultimately not putting out something that the search engines will favor for your SEO efforts. With this said, I would keep your keyword phrase confined to the first sentence of the article and one more place in the text.

You are already on the right track by submitting to the top directory and I would also see to it that when your article goes live that you bookmark the link with the most popular social bookmarking sites so that your article stands a chance to rank well. If your article starts to rank well and gain traffic, it will help to boost the ranking of the page that you are trying to drive traffic to from your article.

I also have to say that it would be a good idea to learn how to write your own content, because only you can brand yourself the way that you would like. This will show people reading your article that you are more of an expert than anything and you will be certain of the originality of your content and that is a big key for Ezine Articles.

But that's just it. If you submitted an article and told them that keyword A was
a keyword, and you put it 10 times in 200 words, the article would not be
approved. Choose your keyword for submission wisely. I think anything 2%
or more gets flagged. In other words, 400 word article would need it mentioned
no more than 7 times. 8 times, and you're flagged for that example.

I was stating not to have each word occur ten times because a keyword phrase can have 3 words or 4 words in the phrase so to keep within the recommended maximum density, I generally state to keep the keyword phrases to occur two times in the article. I would put it in the first sentence and the second most relevant place in the article since most keywords are long tailed anyhow. Your total wording of the phrase, for example, "viral traffic techniques" would count as 3 words so 10 total words would allow for up to 3 placements of keywords in your text so that you are not stuffing in the 200 word article. Furthermore, you want to make it a habit to research keywords for your articles, websites and blogs that are long tailed to increase your odds of ranking well because there will be less competition for your keyword phrase. I recommend that you laser target an article to one keyword in your first few articles so that you really rank well for one keyword. Once you rank well for one keyword, it becomes easier to organically rank for other keywords as well.

9% seems pretty low to me, but you never know with EZA. Just remember they are not the only article directory out there we can submit to.

Good Luck!

If ezine doesn't accept, you can always re-write it and re-submit

Your phrase length counts towards density. Say for example, not that I would use this, but if you wanted to use "work from home" as a keyword, you could and that would count as 3 words, but one occasion of using it. If you said in a 200 word article "work from home" twice, that would be 6 words for a 3% keyword density, but would not be viewed as spam since it was only used twice. It can get confusing, but all of my articles have always been approved whenever I release a product or service. It is not that difficult when you get down to it, but you always want to look like you are not stuffing your keywords just to get ranked. You always want to follow density rules of Google and generally speaking, you will receive better results with your articles sticking to those guidelines.
