I have something GOOD to say about Ezinearticles.com

There have been a lot of posts lately about Ezinearticles. People are not happy that their articles take up to a week to get published or don't get published at all for one reason or another.

I understand the arguments on both sides. It's irritating when they decline a perfectly good article for no good reason. On the other hand, it's their site and they can do whatever the hell they want. I understand and empathize with both sides of the issue.

Here's one good thing about them being strict and having high standards. I have an article on EZA that has recieved a decent number of views and has a respectable 20% clickthrough rate. This article as made a couple of affiliate sales for about $80 in commissions. Not much over the course of 3 months but I'll take it.

I wanted to see if I could get a little more traffic to the article so I did a Google search and found that my article was on page 3 of the serps. I decided to point some backlinks to my article to see if I could move it up to page 1.

A couple days later, when checking to see my articles postition in the serps I noticed an article with a nearly identical title. When I clicked on the article it was extraordinarily similar to mine and even listed all of the same "tips" as mine and even in the same order as they appear in my article.

I sent an email to the boys at EZA and in less than 24 hours I got a reply back that they take plagerism very seriously and that the offending article had been removed from EZA. Wooo Hooo...

Props to EZA for taking swift and desisive action against a content thief.
