EZA's New Meta Filter Is Driving me NUTS

12 replies
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

    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.

      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.

    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 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?

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

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