Why does Ezine take forever

29 replies
Hi,

I submitted 5 articles to eza 3 days ago and still they have not been looked at for submission why is this. Is there anyway i can speed this up?

If i add this to a program that distributes my articles to all different article directories will this speed up the process?

Is there anyway i can make them look at my articles faster?

    They have alot of submissions.. Every one I have submitted has been approved in normally 4 or 5 days.

    Just got one approved about how great article directories are and how they can make you money. Surprised actually I was able to post an article about another article directory for sell on EZA ... lol

          I think its $97 a month. Definitely expensive, you may want to check with people who have taken this membership and then proceed. EZA does take time but it is also among the best ones out there.

          I think you just might have to have 10 articles accepted and things get a bit quicker. Not sure yet, I have 3 accepted and 7 waiting

      IF you think it is worth it

      Judging by the fact that ppl pay $97/month to cr*ppy plr memberships, this could be a better investment.

      It is of course very difficult to forget that once upon a time everything used to be free (it still is, if only you could put up with the delay), that is the reason why I am still in two minds about signing up

      P.S. If anyone has any amazing feedback regarding their paid subscription then I am all ears

    yea sorry but theres no way im gonna be spending 97 dollars per month thats ridiculous unless i start making alot more then that a month.

    So anyway once i have submitted 10 or more articles it should go quicker your saying?

    Well, yes you can speed it up if you join their monthly membership ($97/month I think).:rolleyes: I am not saying this: THEY say this. I haven't yet joined the paid program, but might have to open my wallet soon if they keep delaying like this. There could be two reasons behind the delay:

    1. They are seriously backlogged with lots of submissions (considering that all the article marketers keep submitting dozens of articles to them every day, this is nothing to be astonished of!), in which case, they could do well by hiring extra editors.

    2. They are doing it on purpose (so as to make people pay )

        I am a platinum member and it is still pretty slow for me, so you can guess...

        Not sure if I understood your second comment:

        "we should get like 10 of us to just split it"

        Could you clarify please?

            I thought you were joking.

            This would be a bad idea.

    I don't get the fuss with EZA lately...I'm getting my articles approved in 4-5 days which is fine.

    The amount and traffic you get...for FREE makes the extra day or 2 of waiting still worth it.

    EZA does not offer no where near enough for anybody to fork out $97 a month.. Granted there probably are some article marketing genius (Allen Graves comes to mind for some reason) that may make a good amount from EZA to cover that price...

    But the value of what they offer vs the price .. I dont see any reason why anyone would pay that kind of money..

      I agree, $97 bucks a month is steep. I don't think I would even pay that a year!

      I am still waiting to get one of mine approved, it's been 7 days!:confused:

        It seems EZA is on the down slide based on what I'm reading on the forum. But I must say, I personally have not had that problem, at least recently. It's been normally 1-2 day turnaround. I did have an article this week that "needed attention," resubmitted and it was approved that day.

        All around, I have not seen the 4-5 day turnaround that seems to be the norm...

        Oh well, I guess I'll keep my mouth shut!

      LOL, Thanks James.

      I have 13 niche websites and I use article marketing/EZA for all of them (plus a couple other article directories ezines and authority websites), however I will not pay for the upgrade. I believe I stand alongside thousands of article marketers when I say it is not worth it for me.

      BUT

      I can think of several scenarios where some larger businesses might have a great use for the service.

      So before everyone starts using words like "always" or "every" or "nobody" - just remember that this service actually is a bargain for some. It is simply not targeted for most internet marketers.

    yeah for you to have faster service you need to pay. Try smaller services like articlebase.com. You might be submitted faster.

    I have a platinum membership with them and have no problems with the wait time. It has slowed down since the paid memberships came into play but I make a habit of releasing 1 or 2 articles per day so it's on a consistent release schedule.

    Chris Knight allowed me to beta test the premium service for 2 months free and then I bought the 3 month ($67 a month) premium package after not having it for 3 weeks when my free premium was over.

    I'm happy with it. That's a big understatement by the way. I saw what 3 weeks without out it was like.

    If you make a signifcant amount of money from article marketing with ezinearticles, you'd be a fool not to cough up the money. And yes, I do agree it's expensive.

    I pay more in taxes. Do I like paying taxes, no. But it's the smart thing to do.

    I believe with the premium membership you can also track how people are finding your articles. This is a very effective tool.

      You can get the features that EZA is offering for a lot less elsewhere. Why wouldn't you use the cheaper service and then apply what you learn at EZA?

      EZA actually DOES let you submit articles that are already published elsewhere...although many would have you believe otherwise.
