Ezine Articles Is banning Like Crazy, Are YOU Next?

I have news for you: they made them what they are today. (And that's obviously partly why they're trying to do something about the situation).

If every single affiliate marketer decided to stop submitting articles there tomorrow, it wouldn't affect EZA's rankings at all, would it? (The average quality of their articles would increase, though.)

This is business. What they're doing makes good business sense for them. They care about their business just like I care about mine.

Actually, I believe they would take a small hit - a SMALL one - but Chris said he is willing to take that hit, whatever it may be, for the future of his website.

Would you, or any other business, risk and income of 100.000 $ a month in order to "clean up" your own act, and after that to get even more crap from probably the same article writers.

From what Steve W just posted, Chris Knight is more than willing to let EZA take a short term financial hit to gain long term quality.

Who is with me!?!

I suggest you start this yourself. Good luck trying to find lots of members here to help you get this started. It would take a ton of time and work to pull it off. It's much easier to just up your game and learn how to write longer articles that provide the reader with good information.

Sorry, you got banned, but many of us are not in your shoes and don't intend to be.

Ha ha ha. Yep, I'm procrastinating doing my work by reading this thread.

If it's one thing I noticed steven - everytime some company does this or that there will be a hot thread at WF with people just sitting by waiting for the next reply or what someone is going to say..

For all you newbies, let this thread be a lesson for you "if" you can see past all replies and the rants and the even the praises. There is a message here for you to learn and "if" you paid any attention at all you would realize it's called...

Controversy

And it sells like hot cakes, that is why the national gossip mags are still in business even after the internet boom..

James

Disclaimer: What google did and it still doing deserved to have a rant thread...

[Bev Clement]

And the bottom line is nobody here knows exactly why Chris is doing what he is doing. None of us are sitting in board rooms and seeing how he brainstorms the next phase of his business.

All we have is quotes from his blog which give part of the story and doesn't give away all of the secrets.

I for one am glad to see this thread going, even if it gets locked, because it has shown again who not to work with.

Maybe so but I have got a good laugh out of this thread honestly.. Plus the fact that I have 3 computers going right now and have 6 browsers open.

* Writing a few articles (MacSpeech Dictate Is Wonderful)
* Submitting to Bookmarking sites
* Providing Support on 2 of my sites
* Posting a few blog messages on several blogs
* Answering a few questions in one of my groups
* Working on a FaceBook App and Other Upgardes

It's called Multi-Tasking and I learned to do it years ago ....

I really think a bigger deal is being made out of this then there should be.

Dare I mention that this same guy has also contributed to this thread, which in turn has helped keep it running? But Someone is sure happy to see it running still, so that's good! But as James mentioned, the more it's talked about, the more exposure "(e)zine (a)rticles" gets, so it's great for them still.

Actually, it WOULD affect their rankings in the serps over time...

A perfect real life example is our own blogs. If we update them once or twice a day for a couple of months - our rankings skyrocket. If we stop, they start to slip over time...

The other thing that you have to take into consideration is that the sheer density of keywords on some topics have propelled EZA into the top spots on the front page of Google...

Why do you think some niches will rank on EZA's internat pages and others won't?

Reverse cell phone flooded eza for a while...guess what? The keywords started to rank...

Same with Grants

Same with Acai

Same with colon cleansers

Same with acne keywords...

Now go to eza and search for a niche that is not popular and doesn't get much content submitted - You usually won't find anything that ranks.

It is their business so, whatever they decide to do is the RIGHT thing, but that doesn't make it a RIGHT decision when it comes to business

Do you enjoy winding people up and stirring the pot?

Do your attempts at winning meaningless debates in a forum help you sleep at night?

That is possibly the least relevant/helpful contribution to this thread or forum that I have seen for a long time.

Wait a minute ... You mean the article is not on the largest and most popular website to ever hit the internet (EZA) ??

Hey writers there goes your new Niche for EZA.. Now Write articles and submit them ..

The "multitasking" niche? No, not for me anyway: men can't do it and women don't buy e-books. That must all be true, I read it in the Warrior Forum.

No, it's not. There were more legitimate sites, but for whatever I searched these just came up first, so my keyword wasn't right, I guess. Have you seen the thread talking about an article which had a really outrageous title, something like "act like an animal and grow taller"! So people can most certainly make a niche from virtually anything...and write about it then, or in this case, vice versa.

I'm not sure about the e-book part, but if men weren't good at multitasking there would be a lot more unsatisfied women on the planet then there are as it stands.

I think you're underestimating our talents...

I'll weigh in right now with my own firm position on the matter: If you're a junk marketer/spammer or completely clueless newbie who's trying to sell the crap that we all see in our spam folders every day, or, you use "articles" you got from some free "15000 niche articles mega-pack" without working them over and making them truly useful (yes, it's OK to use them, just turn them into something useful and don't copy them verbatim), you deserve to be banned from Ezine Articles.
