Confused about Article Submission. Please Help!

Blind leading the blind?

- PLease, show us where in the EZA terms did you read this!

==================

To the OP: Yes, you can.
(what kind of explanation do you want?)

Why do we get so many posts on this forum that are untrue I wonder?

The people you're talking to are giving dreadfully misguided advice, then, I'm afraid, Amy.

There's absolutely no conceivable benefit to doing that, for two reasons.

First, you could just as easily post both on your blog and both in EZA (there's absolutely nothing to gain by posting a different one to EZA from the one on your blog, for all the reasons explained by so many successful, professional article marketers in this thread.)

Secondly, there's absolutely no need at all to "wait until it's approved" by EZA before submitting it anywhere else. This is just an ill-informed myth that's been perpetuated by people who mistakenly imagine that EZA prefers content that hasn't yet been published in other directories - and that's never actually been true and still isn't.

Because if you submitted an unchanged PLR article, it'll either:

(1) Already be on their site, published under another author-name (put there by the first individual to acquire and use the PLR in that way); or

(2) It'll be published elsewhere, all over the 'net, under many other author-names (as PLR usually is, very quickly after its release "into the wild") ... in which case it'd be rejected due to being in breach of their terms of service, where they state that any article submitted to them that was previously published elsewhere, must be submitted under the same author-name/pen-name as was used elsewhere. (This is a part of their review process.)

If you rewrote that PLR well enough to make it harder (and unlikely) for them to discern that that's what it is, then it'd probably get through - just as some actually do.

Having said that, if you did just submit rewritten PLR, and EZA somehow later found out that is what you'd been doing (because someone reported you, for instance), then they'd still remove those articles and possibly/probably terminate your account with them ... because you'd still have violated their rules.

Which is why if you're going to use PLR, you should rewrite it thoroughly, and probably base each single article on multiple PLR articles, so as to make it less obvious ... even though, by this point, those articles would struggle to fall under the definition of even "rewritten PLR", I think, as they'd be pretty highly unique. Even so, you'd probably want to "keep your mouth shut" about it, for good measure. :p
