Article Writing Advise on Ezinearticles?

13 years ago

Edward,
Ezinearticles.com specifies in their terms of service that they will not accept rewritten PLR as a submission from authors.

Does that mean it can't be done, no it doesn't but if you expect to get a rewritten PLR article through thier submission process you would need to start with high quality PLR articles and then perfrm a complete rewrite of the article so that your new article looks nothing like the original article. For all intent and purposes you are actually writing a new article while using the PLR article as a guide.

Here is a strategy that seems to work well. Rewrite your PLR articles and then use the first rewrite on your website. Next, rewrite your rewrite and use that as your submitted article.

At least this way if you are asked if you rewrote a PLR article you can sheepishly reply no because you actually rewrote your own article. Yes, I know it is a bit of a gray area because your first article was the rewrite of the original PLR article.

Regarding your question of using a spinner to spin your PLR articles in order to submit them to Ezinearticles.com - Absolutely not, don't jeapordize your account by attempting to spin a PLR article with the hopes of getting it through their filters.

Additionally, there are some writers on this forum who offer an EZA acceptance guarantee for any articles they are outsourced to write. They exist on this forum but you'll have to conduct some searches in order to find them.

Respectfully,
Tim

My advice exactly. To take this a step further you can look at high quality articles on Ezinearticles.com, take a specific article's url on ezinearticles.com, go to google and put "related:" without the www part of the address and you'll find similar articles to that one.

Take a major point of each article you find, improve it or add your personal knowledge and experience, and voila you've got a new article.

This is just smart research...by no means am I recommending copying...just do it this way for basic research which is the big part of writing articles.

Eventually, you'll get a lot of ideas by having just an innate sense of your niche, what they want, what the hot button issues are, etc and you'll go from there.

Merry Christmas!

Cheers,

Brad

I have not driven a single visitor using PPC methods since 2005 and I'm not inclined to start as I do very well with my article marketing campaigns. Also, the PPC landscape has changed considerably since 2005 and I'd be so far behind if I were to start learning how to excel with it again.

Tim is right that EzineArticles will not accept PLR. It is stated in their editorial guidelines.

Did you rewrite them to be totally different from the original?

I know i could outsource it, but is it ethical to put a condition that we only pay to the writer if the articles get listed on ezinearticles? What would the usual price be for getting someone to write an article to get accepted on ezinearticles?

Personally, I don't think it's ethical. You're hiring someone to write an article and he/she should be paid for it.

You could try and negotiate with the person and provide the guidelines required.

Just make sure that you have exclusive rights to that article. They do accept those.
,

Im open to advise, would article spinning work to get your articles listed inside Ezinearticles?
Thanks

Why are you resorting to PLR and article spinning?

It is not that hard to write your own articles.

I just submitted my first 6 articles and all of them were accepted. Just follow their guidelines. They even have templates you can use.

Thanks

How is it "unethical"?

Not only is it perfectly ethical, but it's absolutely standard, among article writers. Any decent, reasonable writer offers EZA acceptability as a precondition of payment. EZA acceptance is part of what most clients want to buy articles for.

The standard agreement is that (i) the writer isn't expected to await EZA acceptance for payment but will re-write and/or refund, if it's declined for reasons to do with the article itself, and (ii) the client will not hold the writer accountable if the article is declined for reasons connected solely with where the client's resource-box links are leading (as can sometimes happen), which is clearly outside the writer's control. This is only common sense.

Okay, I'm very new to this so what may be 'common sense' to the experts is not common sense to me. You're probably right and it may be common practice within that circle.

But what happens if the writer sends an acceptable article but for some reason EZA rejects it - does the client get to keep both his money and the article to use elsewhere, because the terms of the contract encompass just EZA?

Not that I'm questioning you, Alexa, just want to learn some of the ins and outs of this as writing seems to be one of my stronger suits (it's definitely not cooking! :p)

In most cases the writer guarantees to continue to modify the article until it gets acceted by EZA because generally that is their USP (unique selling point) and it adds a credibility factor between the customer and service provider setting them apart from anyone else offering to write articles for payment.

I guess that's the way to go and any writer worth his salt should be able to write articles acceptable to EZA.

It's just that I've heard of an incident where the client claimed EZA did not accept the article, demanded a refund, kept the article and used it elsewhere.

I agree 100%. It's a real shame, isn't it? Dishonesty brings bad Karma.

I have never once had an article rejected (for myself or a client) on Ezinearticles. The site is great and their rules are very up front and easy to follow. Only once or twice have I ever even gotten a response from the editors but that was because somehow part of my article got clipped off (not sure how!).

It is a great site for SEO and information purposes (you can learn a lot just by reading different articles written by other authors). I would actually pay to use their site if it would benefit me (premium membership doesn't do much good because it only takes a couple days normally to get an article approved).

Better hire somebody who will write for you instead. But if you are in a tight budget then you will have to deal with rewriting and rewriting just to achieve an article that will be up to EZA's expectations.

Why pay someone to write for you? How hard can it be to rewrite a 350 word article thoroughly? Develop some skills man, don't be lazy.

Some people have a difficult time writing to begin with and rewriting is no exception. Other folks have more time then money and rewriting fills their needs/requirements.

One reason why some people are opting to go with rewrites of articles is because they are finding out that when they initially order an article it later turns out to be a PLR article.

Yes, they were screwed on the initial order which stinks and is a good lesson on why you stick with certain writers that come highly recommended in the forum. So in an attempt to fix those articles they have them rewritten.

In some cases people buy high quality PLR articles to begin with for cheap and them pay to have them rewritten.

I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of buying PLR articles from folks like Tiffany Dow and then rewriting them. Her article quality is so good to begin with that the rewrites are a breeze to do and as long as your rewritten article looks nothing like the original you are good to go.

I am not sure why you would even bother with PLR. There are thousands of really bad articles on the directories. Just pull one up and ask yourself how you could make this an article that people would get value from. Then rewrite a better version.

What am I missing? EZA has standards so why not adhere to them? If you can't write an article about a subject in which you have at least a modicum of interest and/or knowledge, maybe writing isn't for you.

Not trying to be snide but if you call yourself a writer, shouldn't you be able to write? I hope it works out for the OP.
