Did BMR Change Its Submission Guidelines in The Last Few Days

I have never had a problem with BMR rejections. I submit on average about 40 articles a day for the last 6 months and would probably say I have had about 25 rejections in thousands of submissions. Yesterday I submitted 50 articles and about 20 were rejected. Many were said didn't make "sense" but they absolutely did. I mean the articles are boring and not pulitzer prize winning stuff but they make perfect sense. To be honest I am kind of ticked off, its a bit ridiculous. Anybody else notice this?

    I haven't noticed anything that drastic.

    I'd try the 'Dispute rejection' link and see what they say.

    Yeah that happened to me with a lot of my posts but it's thing such as subject-verb agreement. They've gotten a lot stricter.

    You guys should be ecstatic....That means the quality of their network is going up again improving their ranking power for you.

    Was that glass half full, or half empty?

      Hearing that they're clamping down makes me want to give BMR a try.

    If you're really sure that they are high quality open a ticket, the response is very quick and they'll change the rejection if they think it's fair. You have to remember that there will be some inconsistencies with the quality evaluators.

    I had a slew of posts rejected last week because of an awkward kw that's about impossible to work into a sentence logically. They overturned something like 28/30 of them because the rest of the post was high quality.

      The posts I'm doing myself are still getting accepted at 100%, but I've got one writer in India and his submission rate seems to be going down from about 92% to 85% over the last week or so. So maybe things are getting a little tougher.

    I would be very happy if BMR made their posting submissions much stricter.

    I've never had a post rejected that I've written, but I did see that they approved some very marginal posts a few months back that I had written by a BMR writing service (using non native English writers)

    This is not good. It is ridiculous. Some sudden, insanely stringent moderating won't make up for years of accepting poor grammar and nonsense contexual links.

    I have great UK and USA writers being rejected. So I decided to write some personally. Perfect grammar, perfect spelling - 7/10 rejected!

    I'm going to leave; some ESL (English as second language) moderator has the audacity to reject my posts - when I, a native English speaker make thousands of dollars every week from stringing words together... WTF BMR!

    Is this true? Can anyone else confirm this? I was thinking about paying for another month. I don't have any problems writing my own articles for BMR in the past, but I'm not too sure now.

    I've had no problem whatsoever with BMR. I've only had 2 articles rejected, out of about 450 that I have written myself.

    N.B. Those two were corrected, resubmitted, and subsequently accepted.

    Is there any update on this? Is BMR still rejecting posts at a higher rate?

      200 post submitted in the last 10 days.
      200 post accepted.
      0 post rejected.
      -------------------------
      100% "Yes"

      Fix a couple words and resubmit. Nobody likes to be rejected But get over it.

      Forgot to add that my articles have been getting approved and queued at a much faster rate than usual lately. A lot of articles are pending less than 1hr.

    That's a pretty questionable post. Maybe some of the people who review the posts are better with grammar than others?

    I am too confused about the posting guidelines of BMR, I have written more than 3000 BMR posts for some of my clients and i have achieved approval rate more than 90%. but, i have experienced many things during writing for BMR like for some of writers account there was 100 approval rate and all the posts get queued within ten minutes of time. but for some writers account it had taken more than 24 hrs. i do not understand BMR correctly.

      I just quit BMR for that exact reason. I can't submit anything because they don't understand they keywords and nature of my niche and therefore they keep rejecting all my posts because my keyword that I'm targeting is not "grammatically correct", EVEN THOUGH THAT IS THE KEYWORD THAT IS BEING SEARCHED!

      I filed a paypal dispute only 2 days after signing up because their service is useless if I can't submit quality articles with keywords of my choosing...

      I would never recommend anyone sign up with them!

    I have not noticed any change did you use the same writers?

    I signed up for the free trial and wrote 8 posts today. All 8 were accepted. I'll see what happens with the other two.

      Over the last month BMR seems to have hired more editors who are more strict and at times wrong. I am noticing many more rejected posts in recent times.

      Some are legitimate spelling mistakes/missing words but some are fine and if you resubmit them without changing they get approved. It seems to be a lucky dip at times depending on which editor you get.

      The most frustrating thing is they claim "sense" as the reason for rejection but never highlight the sentence or part of the article which apparently makes no sense.

      While some people say they have had 100% approval that may be due to the smaller number of articles they have written or maybe they just got lucky.

      I am native a English speaker and in my experience I have had 40+ rejected articles that had no errors and were immediately approved after resubmission. I also had a few articles I disputed which were then approved.

      I have submitted over 12,000 BMR posts now and I have had more rejected in the last month than in the previous 7 months of writing BMR articles.

      There is always going to be some human error but this should be taken into account as I hear they are now banning accounts for low rejection rates which seems unfair if some rejections are false positives.

      I understand why BMR is trying to be more strict with higher quality articles but they need to give us more information on which parts of the articles are not making "sense" so we can improve them.

      And also perhaps keep track of some of their own editors who are rejecting posts incorrectly.

    and they're also going thru and banning these writer accounts that have a history of poor content submission.
