Here's a new one from EZA (I think)

INTERNET MARKETING

Article was declined.

"Your article links to a page that does not contain enough informative content."

They totally have it out for me right now after posting 125 articles with maybe 3 declines in that timeframe. Weird.

And annoying.

I didn't know that whatever blog you send EZA viewers too had any impact.

Sorry but.. of course it does.

Ever heard of 'bad neighborhoods' in the SEO sense?
Or even the fact that EZA's reputation is at stake every time they link out to other sites.

I don't mean to sound rude . But to answer your question; Yes, EZA DOES care about who you link to in their articles.

Cheers,

-Aidan.

EDIT: Nice name lol. GCostanza - I just noticed it.

Hi,

I have not come across that one yet and I have just been linking out to a squeeze page, hardly informative!

Perhaps it depends what editor you have the misfortune of running into on a particular day.

Just resubmit and see if it gets accepted?

Did you make sure that your article was at least 250 words because that was what they told me when one of my articles was one word short.

I also got this once. I linked to a page where the main content was a video. The video was informative, but of course EZA prefers text content.

Wow, I haven't seen that one yet either. It seems that Ezinearticles is getting as hard to please as Google Adwords. I had one article rejected for too many keywords --it wasn't even intentional, that's just the way the article came out Then they actually rejected an article because I *mentioned* the forbidden topic of PLR --even though the whole point of my article was why original articles are better. I'm starting to send more articles to GoArticles. You can also use direct links there.

Nothing new. It's been kicking around since '06. I've rarely heard of it actually being enforced, though.

Here's where it started: Landing Page Quality Scoring

  Must be some new jerk*ff editor, because I've had the same presell page that I've sent readers to for about 70 articles with no problem.
  
  If EZA can't be consistant, that's kind of annoying.
  
  Thanks

They will even reject a high quality article written by a professional "real" published author just because it has the word "spinner"...

Tells you right there on the quality they look for, they would turn down high quality to approve junk PLR...

There are way better sites to spend my time on..

I got that one once. It turned out my website was down.
Well to be more accurate blogger.com had made a change that meant my domain forwarding had gotten messed up. I had to turn it off and than back on to get it working again.

  They will also give that error if all you can see are ads above the fold, no content. Sometimes they will apply it to squeeze pages as well.

There is going to be a lot more of this going on in article marketing in general. The trends are already there. Too many garbage articles and crappy blog sites are choking out the real information.

Sorry if you got caught up in it and don't deserve it. Try an appeal, could have been bad judgement on their part.
