Eza de-"indexing"? UPDATE: Yes, they do.

Andrew Maule · 11-04-2009, 06:47 PM

Does anyone know if Eza de-indexes your articles or something after they suspend your account? I recently had an account suspended for a silly reason (a mistake I made) and my article views/clicks PLUMMETED. I searched for my articles in Google to see they weren't even there, when the day prior they were, and these were zero competition keywords, so it wasn't like I got buried really. Any idea what this could be about?

have they removed your articles entirely? EZA doesn't do the indexing, but it the articles have been removed then Google would de-index after a few weeks.

Well, I know Eza doesn't do the indexing, but I meant the INDEXING on THEIR site. Just over night they set my account back up and I got a ton more views/clicks... just a strange situation. I emailed support to find out, it's an important thing to know, definitely further proof to never put all your eggs in one basket.

I was suspended a while ago and the articles were still up and running. Just do a search for the articles and you will know for sure.

If you were using the Google search on their site, then yes, they do index your articles - well, kinda.

That's a custom search engine, I use one on my site...and you have the ability to re-index the site based on xml files or site maps whenever you want. There are a ton of other options too - I would suspect that if your account is suspended, they have someone who would take your stuff out of their index file.

Turns out my suspicions were right:

Hi Andrew,

When your account is suspended, all of your articles are withheld from live view until your suspension is lifted.

Eza doesn't tell you this though... they just say your account is suspended from FUTURE SUBMISSIONS--and that's it. That's what's kind of scary about it. If your account is suspended, and you have to wait 3-4 days for your account to be re-activated, it's just a nice eye opener.

Sour · 11-06-2009, 06:23 PM

Do you receive any type of warning before they suspend your account?

Andrew Maule · 11-07-2009, 12:34 PM

No, not in this case at least, if you submit a "problem" article and they feel like it, they'll lock your account and take about 7 days to get it back active. If you're an affiliate making sales every day from Eza traffic, that's 7 days of zero sales, luckily I wasn't in that position but I know of a lot of people who would be. So it's nice to know.

thanks for this info. That could be a real problem if all your articles disappeared for 7 days.

P.S. Would just like to update, since that suspension period my articles still aren't ranking for keywords they SHOULD be (low competition, etc.) Pretty annoying

dmgray · 11-13-2009, 11:23 AM

I am glad I read this, I use EZA a lot! that is quite scary and rather annoying. Luckily, every time i have posted a problem article (genuinely by mistake, only 3 times) they have simply asked me to rectify it.

What I am curious about is how easily they reward people with expert author status! I imagine it's purely so that folk are more tempted to stick the Expert Author logo on their own site or blog. Or is that cynical?!

I was very chuffed when I go my first expert author award, albeit I did know quite a bit about that subject, but it was still a nice surprise.......but then I got another award straight away after one article and it was hardly rocket-science type stuff. It demeaned my first award!

Sorry that was a bit off topic! Just thought it showed that EZA has many odd little idiosyncrasies.

Andrew Maule · 11-13-2009, 11:25 AM

Hmm... well this was a platinum status account they yanked out from under me... so that being said it still took 7 days to get my account back, by then my traffic had been nearly halved or quartered by the suspension.

dmgray · 11-13-2009, 12:34 PM

Nice to see they value their platinum providers so well!

There goes their chance at grabbing this years Customer Service Award.....
