Along with all the others who thanked you for your OP. Looks like we're gonna have to nickname you "The Catalyst".

Hi Steven,

If you're wondering why this heart on the sleeve reply, tomorrow is
Thanksgiving...the first one without my mom. As I am typing this the
tears fall from my eyes. I miss her more than you can imagine and her
death this year has taught me so much, so many lessons...lessons I wish
I had learned a long time ago.

Don't dwell on the fact that you wish you'd learned the lessons beforehand - just be glad that you learnt them now, rather than never.

The death of my mother launched my online career. Seriously.

I had a choice to either spend time feeling bad about it, or instead throw myself into 16 hour days, chasing the dream I had always craved. From a loss, a new ExRat was born! And the plan worked - I turned any frustration/anger I had into pure determination to make her proud. I recommend it.

My old lady would have been happy with the outcome I'm sure.

Focus on all the things you have to be thankful for and have a great day. Some turkeys never get to Disneyland

Of course you can open a new account, lol.

Google doesn't want you to have more than one Adwords account but yet anyone who does anything big, knowing the slaps currently happening, has more than 1 account.

Thanks Paul and to you Steven,

It really takes a Man to honestly share who he is and be vulnerable, which you did Steven.

I agree this forum is a place where we can all have our different points of view and remain friends.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and all here.

Everyone knows Google rules the world... They will probably buy Ezine Articles soon enough, if they have not already...

[Hesaidblissfully]

As was mentioned, it seems like speculation on Jeremy's part to say that his account was suspended due to him speaking out against EZA's practices, as there's no defintive evidence that that was the reason. I agree that if the account really was on the up and up, then the reason they gave for the suspension in their email doesn't make sense.

Either way, I think the take away lesson is that you should spend your time and energy building up your OWN long term assets, not someone else's (email subscriber list, blog, authority site, etc.). That way, you're not subject to the whims of EZA, Goarticles, Google, Facebook or any other single property. I'm not saying don't use them. Just use them in a smarter way.

Well guys if any of you have checked ezine today you'd see that they cracked down on every single account that had articles with inflated views.

Not only they reduced the term on the views to 60, but after that they pulled every article they thought had inflated views. Look like they figured out a way to find out.

I don't know if they are banning all those accounts, we will soon find out... But I'm sure the're banning the articles with inflated views out of the '15 MOST' area including the '15 MOST PUBLISHED'...but the articles are still live...

I have seem categories where the articles at the bottom of the list still had 700 to 800 views this morning (after the # was changed to 60) are now gone! and now the articles at the bottom is only about 100 to 150 views...

Even in high competition niches like ANXIETY the articles in the 15 most viewed that this morning still was about 700 views is now 118 views only.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Look like in every single category, 95% of the articles were actually inflated, now you only need about 100 views to get into the 15 most views in most niches...

And look like is an ongoing project; I saw a category changed the articles and the views on my watch! when I refreshed the page most articles were gone! MAGICALLY!

Looks like the books to get into that list will have to be re-written all over again...

Have anybody notice this?

Nope I have not because I do not inflate EZA's traffic by visiting the site ...lol

Its a shame for people to spend their time back linking their articles for the benefit of EZA....why not spend that time back linking to your own site?

Well i guess its good for articlebase and all the secondary directories to get a huge boost in keyword rich content and major adsense revenue coming in.

[Ross Bowring]

I never knew EZA had such draconian policies in place. An eye opening thread.

No but if you would've tried to push your articles to the most 15th views, naturally, by back-linking your articles you would've notice it was almost impossible in any niche... Now that ezine cracked down all those articles many of my articles went up to the 15th most viewed...

I found this thread this morning and purchased the WSO to see how those articles would go to the 15 most viewed so fast, many of them after just 2 days of being published...

Since the information in the WSO will not work anymore, it would have been the same to buy cigarettes with those $20 even though I don't smoke...

Not all the way true....

I'm not going to go back and forth about the product in this thread, but there were 2 methods that were discussed...

One is well within EZA's rules...We still use it everyday and it works perfectly with *no risk*

and One isn't..There is an obvious *risk* involved

Regarding the one that isn't....and what you are seeing at EZA right now.

Look again in the morning or tomorrow afternoon. Today isn't the first day that the lists have been shaken up only to go right back to the way they were...

For anyone that read the product and only took away from it that one thing...You should not only reread the pdf, but rewatch the videos and you should soon realize just how much of those things can be applied other places where you submit content.

Edit: Just looked at a couple categories of "interest" and everything still appears to be the same?

Look like I rushed to conclusions here...You right; I have not even read the e-book or videos... I rushed to conclusion (my bad) because I'm seeing what's happening today, but what you just said make sense about the list being shaking before...

Anyway I meant no harm, I have great respect for you, in fact I just PM'd you about the DIAGRAM... I wanted to know if it was still open?

Then again, maybe it IS a possibility. It doesn't take structural analysis to find a divergence of strategic methods that rely on the potential outcomes of an opinion that is rendered based on what can only be called a questionable framework.

And that's all there is to say on the core extension of this thread.

All the best,
Michael

Now that's some funny stuff right there.

[busting]

Oh damn. I just saw that 2 of my articles disappeared from the most viewed list. WTF man. I will start to put my eggs in another basket. But DAMN !!!

That's why I loved that WSO and strategies so much Jeremy. It opened my eyes to so many possibilities, and doesn't strictly apply to Ezine articles, but Ezine articles was a good example to use it on.
