Allen, I'm wondering why the advice to not use the first paragraph for the summary? What should be used instead?

It seems to me that in a well-written article, the first paragraph would essentially be an overview of what's to come, so why wouldn't that make a good summary? Just like a book, where the intro explains what the entire book will cover.

Hi Chris,

If this is truly the case and your first paragraph is a summary of your article, then you will not be penalized by using it as your summary. Your article will not be declined because of this.

But - the article summary is there for a reason and it can be used as an advantage over others who simply copy and paste the first paragraph of their article into that field.

Allen: You wrote "Each link must point to a different web page."

Can these pages be in the same domain? i.e., is the following ok?

site/page1.htm
site/page2.htm
site/page3.htm

Ezinearticles.com is very strick, and yet powerful directory to get search engine traffic. Unfortunately, sometime their editor just don't like your article, I suggest you change as they told, but if they still dont' approve it, delete the article, submit it to goarticle!

I love and some time hate Ezinearticles.com, however, I make tons of money from them, that's the fact, we all should keep doing article consistently, just don't give up if something stuck!

Absolutely! They just have to point to different pages within the domain.

Most people try article marketing thinking all they have to do is write a few articles and submit them to thousands of websites...BAM...instant millionaire!

Well, that's not the case. Most of these people fail miserably and then proclaim that article marketing is a scam or that it just doesn't work.

I am glad to see that many of you are doing your due diligence and starting out the right way...by learning!

Sending you a PM Roger.
