What Will HAppen If You Break TOS of EZA?

7 replies
Ok, was told that EZA only allow 250 articles to be republished per year. What is the consequences of it if you run afoul with their TOS? Will your site get delisted from Google?

    EzineArticles and Google aren't affiliated, so they don't have the power to get your
    SITE de-listed from Google, but if you break their TOS, they do reserve right to
    terminate your account and your articles that you have published with them.

    However, in the scenario you're speaking of, I don't think they are going to let you
    submit more articles than you're allowed to because afterall, they're all manually
    reviewed (I think anyway, correct me if I'm wrong).

    Hope that helps,

      Oops! I guess I read it too fast... My apologies
      Thanks for the correction!

      I agree with Alexa, moreover I also believe that Google does not have such a close relationship with EZA to kill your rankings, but I think you're ranking is affected if google finds too much duplicate content in your website.

    You won't be knocked out by Google for abusing EZA. However, EZA has strict standards and if you follow those guidelines, you will be in good status with Google. That is, if you design your content according to EZA rules google will be fine.

    And only 25 articles can be republished. THat's true and you'll get banned. EZA might come after your ass but not Google. But Google will be pissed that you have too much of duplicate content and won't bother. Always make sure your original content exceeds your duplicate content or at least in the beginning when you start a website.

    They will either correct you, or ask you to correct yourself, so you are no longer breaking the TOS, or ban your account etc.

    They will come to your house and trash it, leaving a calling card saying "dont mess with the EZA wrecking crew".

    You should not violate their T.O.S.. However, you do not need an account from EZA to republish.
