EZA's New Meta Filter Is Driving me NUTS

[TiffanyDow]

I never keyword stuff. I don't write for keywords except in my title and if it happens to come up in my article, great. But twice now I've spent I can't determine how long trying to figure out what the hell keyword I'm using too much to the point that EZA won't publish it, saying it appears I'm trying to use a Meta Tag. Here's the article - how in the WORLD do I find out what word I'm using too mcuh because of course it doesn't tell you THAT part. Is there a tool or something???:

Removed for duplicate content issue LMAO

[Marhelper]

I have never had a problem with the "Meta filter" but I have had the issue of keyword density exceeding 2%. It seems that they are coming up with new stuff every day ... good luck.

LOL Steven, what do I do with that? Take out my ins? I'm lost. I think I need to contact them.

[Chuck Underwood]

Not sure if I am thinking of something completely different than you are, but the only time I have ever got that complaint from EZA is when I copy and paste directly from Word. Every time I go back erase the article and paste it again from a .txt file the META error goes away.

I figured you could look to see if there were any keywords that you might
have used a little too much. I didn't see any personally but then again, I
ain't EZA.

Chuck might be right. Try pasting from notepad. Word sometimes adds in
stuff that directories don't like.

[TiffanyDow]

I was able to reload the page and it worked. So I told Chris about this. I wonder how many others sit there trying again and again like I did?

Isn't that the definition of insanity or something?

[Jay Jennings]

From what I've been reading lately, they're doing a "tune-up" on their pre-editor filters -- it could be they just don't have all the kinks worked out.

If the paste from text doesn't help, I'd definitely contact them.

Jay Jennings

PS - Chris Knight was saying something along the lines of. "700 more articles got kicked out with the new filters and nobody complained - must mean they were trying to scam the system." Pfft! It means when you're the 800lb gorilla and say jump, we all just start jumping.

[liban]

Well, Tiffany, my first thought was that if anyone could turn a profit from the keyword "in" it would be you!

[m4ster]

I think you might have "duplicate content" issue now

[digidoodles]

Meta tag has nothing to do with your keyword. It's the way your article is formatted. Copy and paste from a text document into ezine. If that doesn't work, refresh the page and copy and paste from a text document back into your article field.

This has happened to me a lot lately with ezine. Doing the above, always does the trick.

Good luck!

[Marcel Hartmann]

I suggest writing in Wordpad; it won't add formatting code. Occasionally I open up Word to check the article word count, but that's about it. Man, I wish Wordpad had that feature.

[rainyclayday]

Use TextPad, it has a word count feature and doesn't add in any odd characters.
