How long does it take to get your EzineArticles aproved?

13 years ago

Ah ezine is pretty slow when you are a new author, but when you submit your articles and follow their guidelines every time, they become much quicker. It does help to become an expert author though.

The first time I submitted to EZA, my article had problems because there is a location in the title. I had to rectify it twice before it got published. The whole process took nearly 2 week.

I kept on submitting and got an expert author status. After that it takes 3 days max.

Thanks

The first time it really took 7 days to get approve, but once you keep writing articles that follow along the guide lines the fastest by far will be 3 days but most is around 4 to 5 days, but of course if you want to go even faster like 24 hour, then you should consider being a premium member... which I really do not recommend although it's benefit are real good...

  I had expert status pretty quickly but my articles can still take over a week... I also just hit 35 articles and they've now put my account in review or something and I can't submit any more till review is approved.
  
  Most of my articles are pushed through with no changes required but putting a city in the title even when the articles is definately location specific isn't worth trying.. I also put a link to a company page I don't own nor is it a sales page or anything, just info and they said too many personal links. It's a bit frustrating and I wonder if it's worth it some times
  
  Thanks

  It varies. A Russian friend of mine recently got "expert" status immediately on receipt of her first article and was "platinum" within 3 days. This thread describes her experiences, and there's a lot of discussion there about the question you've asked, too.
  
  Personally, I nearly always submit my articles to EZA before going to bed at night, and almost 100% of them are published when I wake up the following morning. I think this is the normal speed of acceptance and publication for platinum authors who submit regularly.
  
  In summary, it's fast for platinum authors in good standing.
  
  What's often concealed in such forum conversations is that people who encounter delays are (understandably) typically those who didn't read the editorial guidelines, didn't get to platinum after 10 articles, and sometimes get rejections! EZA is more careful (i.e. "slower") with those authors' submissions. Wouldn't you be?

  When you first start posting at Ezine Articles, you have to submit 10 articles to be considered for platinum status. Let me give you some helpful hints. If you submit articles and they have errors in them and they are sent back to you, it will delay whether you are promoted to platinum status. I would suggest you read their guidelines carefully. If you article is under 500 words, do not use more than 3 words for your anchor text. Do not sell in body of the article. Leave that for the resource box. Only give valuable information in the body.
  In your resource box, use your keyword for your anchor text and put in your webite address in a seperate sentence.
  My first ezine account still has not achieved platinum status. I had stupid mistakes in the resource boxes in a few, so after the first ten, now I need 25 more articles to be considered.
  What I did for my second account was to write ten articles in my niche and posted them without trying to sell or create backlinks. I only put my website address in the resource box. I went over them with a fine tooth comb and made sure they were perfect. I got my free coffee cup for becoming a platinum member within 2 days of posting them. I posted them all at once.
  Sorry to ramble and I hope this helps,
  Susan

  I find it depends on the day of the week I submit my articles. When I submit on Friday, it's either approved within a couple of hours (fastest was 35 minutes), and if not published on Friday, then not until Tuesday.
  
  Since EZA doesn't approve articles over the weekend, I suspect they're backlogged on Monday which delays late Friday and weekend submissions.
  
  Wednesday, Thursday, and early Friday morning submissions are approved the fastest in my experience.
  
  Generally, though they get them published within the 48 hours of the work week. I too am a platinum author which certainly expedites approval compared to when I was a basic plus.
  
  Thanks

  Susan, with respect, I realise you're trying to be helpful in advising others, but you are yourself breaching EZA's terms of service, here. They have a "one person, one account" rule, and they enforce it strictly, and if they notice what you've done, they will close both your accounts.
  
  In the circumstances, it might be good for you to contact them, explaining that you've done this inadvertently without having read their terms of service, and ask them to close your original, non-platinum account while allowing you to continue submitting with the second one. It may just save a disaster! They're human and they do listen, when people contact them, apologise and explain ...

  Thank you, Alexa. I stopped posting with the original account. I didn't read the rules when I was first beginning the process of article writing. That is why I opened up a new account. Do you think they would close it if I no longer post from that account? I now only use the second account and use pen names for all my article writing on ezine articles.
  It's a shame when you are first learning in this business and you think someone is trying to help you and they are teaching you how to break the rules. That is why I posted this. Not to teach others to break the rules, but to prevent them from making the same mistakes I did. When I was learning article marketing, the so called "guru" told everyone to open a new account for each niche. Thank goodness, I read the rules. I didn't know how to close that account. I just made a different one and haven't used the other one for months.
  
  Thanks

  I know of other people who've contacted them, simply explained that they did that by mistake, wanted to continue to post with the active account and would be grateful for having the earlier one closed, and EZA has done that with no problem. For myself, I'd be worried that taking no action could too easily result in both being closed if/when they ever notice it, because that's also certainly happened to a few people here. :confused:
  
  I think that you can ask Chris Knight (owner of EZA) for his advice, here, saying that this was suggested in the WF, without risking adverse consequences. He does reply to those, and he's friendly.

The last two repliers said it is QUICK if you have an expert author status. But that's not true always.

Since they review your submission manually, it can take pretty long. Sometimes, within three days, and sometimes even over a week. This is for articles that have no issue with them.

Speaking from personal experience.

As everyone else has stated it can take time when you are first starting off. Once you get to the platinum level though it really starts to pick up on approval time. For the longest I have to wait any more for most of my articles is a couple of days. I have had some get approved as fast as a few hours though too.

I am a Platinum author at EZA. I have 173 articles and growing. It has been as quick as half a day to up to 3 full days.

It all depends on the volume of articles that they have to look through. They have busy days and weeks which can cause delays. They have slow periods when a basic author can get their article approved within a day or two. -It fluctuates.

1- Usually Premium (Paid) Members will have there articles looked at first.

2- Platinum Second

3- Basic and Basic Plus Next in line

You have to submit 10 articles and become a Platinum member to stop waiting a week to see your articles being accepted at ezinearticles.

When you are a Platinum member your articles get approved the next day, or the same day, especially if you write an article per day (or more).

How, then, are people getting to platinum in 2 or 3 days as described in this thread?! If what you say is true, it would surely take at least a week, by definition - but it often doesn't. Might your information be out-of-date? :rolleyes:

  My personal experience with EZA is that I get my articles approved within 2-3 days if the articles do not have any issues within them that need to be corrected.
  
  As for qualifying to be a platinum author, it really depends on EZA. I applied to be a platinum author (giving them 3 reasons why I should be one) after my 10th article got published and they approved my account right away. Someone I knew from an affiliate marketing forum had more than 50 articles and still wasnt a platinum author. So it really depends.

You can make it faster in two ways. Build up to basic plus or expert status or become a paid member. Paid members get to schedule articles and get approved in 24 hours.

About 10 days for the free account. At least that`s how it works within my niches ^^

5 months ago i had them approved in less then 4 days but i guess they got to fight back with content spamming and copyrighting issues...

To speed up the process, the only thing you can do is to buy a paid account which is not cheap. As far as i remember it`s 97$ for 1 month ( lowest package ) and the price drops as you buy bigger packages.

Approval time of Ezine articles I guess depends on the quality of your article. If it is well written then for sure it can be approved easily.

Take the yearly package, its way cheaper. But I don't think so there is any need of it unless you are going to launch a huge article marketing campaign.

Can you pick the exact time your articles go live if you're a Premium Member? If not, what's the most specific you can get? Or are you still at their "mercy" when it comes to the actual timing of release?

If after 10 days you're still in pending status, then send them an email. First time writers can take a 7 to 10 days to get approved. Once you move up to platinum status, it should only take a few days to get approved.

anyone have any experience with sending 5-10 articles to them with a new account. I use diff ones for specific niches but I also have this account I want to use as a master account.

Articles would be about loads of different niches, and as I said I would be doing 5-10 a day for this account.

I just need to know if anyone has tried this and whether ezine takes it as spam or if they are ok with it.

I have submitted more than that per day and never faced any problem. Make sure articles are free from grammar mistakes and paragraphing is correct. You will never face any problem. Ezinearticles.com never takes any submission as a "spam" unless it is really a spam. Submit 50 articles a day and as long as they are according to the guidelines, you are good.

Now this is interesting.

I very recently changed my approach to writing articles. But even so, I think this may be a coincidence:

The article I submitted just a couple of hours ago went live 13 minutes later. Surely a glitch, but there you go. I'm actually stunned.
