Now ive been suspended because of it;

Your account has been suspended from future submissions. This means you will not be able to submit any new articles until your account is restored to good-standing

How long does a suspension usually last for?

Thanks

Has it been published elsewhere under a different name from the name/pen-name in which you submitted it to EZA? If it has, then that will certainly cause a problem (the problem, obviously enough, being that it's raised in their mind the possibility that you've stolen it!). They resolve those situations by suspending your account first and asking questions afterwards. But they'll listen to the explanation and re-instate you, so don't worry too much!

Just until you "sort it out" with them.

Nonsense. This has always - and understandably! - been the case with EZA for articles attributed to someone else.

I did this but my article got rejected by Ezine. It says;

Article In Problem Status

This article appears to be attributed to someone else.

Then it has a link to my article from Articles Base. Have Ezine changed the rules recently on this? I thought the article only had to be unique to Ezine.

Ezine has not changed, it has been this way for quite some time. It appears you have used different pen names. If you use the same pen name per article no matter where it is submitted you should be okay. It does not have to be unique to Ezine. It has to be owned by you. Using the same pen name everywhere is okay. To prove ownership, that pen name needs to have published that same article on a website you own. What we are all doing is article syndication, and the pen name must remain constant.

Sorry this happened, though. It's never a good feeling.

Thanks

This has been a rule for a while and usually you are okay as long as you use the same author name, but you are supposed to submit to EZA first, not the other way around.

"Supposed" by whom?!

EZA certainly doesn't expect, request or suppose that, Benjamin. This really isn't so at all.

You can submit in any order you like, and to be blunt, nobody relying on the syndication of articles for their business is actually likely to submit to EZA first.

I have countless articles in EZA's database which had previously been published in many other places online, and I continue every day to submit those (because after publishing them on my own sites and getting them indexed there, I then send my articles to various other webmasters who have kindly syndicated my work from EZA on previous occasions, before submitting it to EZA. By the time EZA get it, it's typically published in many other places first).

Let's clarify this expressly, for anyone "following the story": the problem that arose here was one of attribution, not one of the order of submissions/publication. You are not "supposed to submit to EZA first" rather than the other way round. Sorry to be argumentative, but let's not have any more people being misled by this and imagining that for some reason it's "better" to submit to EZA first - that isn't necessary!

The rules are same from years. You have to send them support message through your account in order to unlock your account. And secondly, keep the author name same everywhere and Ezinearticles.com will accept your article even if you are first submitting to every directory of the world and in the last to ezinearticles.com.

Thanks

Hi being fairly new are learning the rules of Ezine and Articles and yes put one in Articles first and then about 4 days later put a similar one in Ezine and yes got the message - "This article seems to be attributed to somebody else"
So yes I had a pen name on Articles, so altered to my real name the same as Ezine and everything has been alright since. Have been suspended also and found support helpful to get up and running again.
Takes awhile to get the feel of how Ezine likes thing to be done. Learning curve.

Thanks

Forgive me if I have this wrong - this thread will actually help me learn as well.

I thought you had to submit unique articles to Ezine for it to be accepted.

So if I wrote 1 article and submitted to my blog, and then tried to submit to Ezine it would not let me.

If I submitted to Ezine first and then my blog I would be fine I think.

Not sure how it works with different pen names etc...

Hi Chris,

No, I'm afraid you need to publish your article to your site first and get it indexed first. This is very important.

EZA do not require unique articles and even advise you to publish it to your own site first. They even have a nice little plugin to make this easier for you.

What Alexa says she does above is entirely right.

If you publish the article to your site under one name, then to EZA under another, then you may have problems as they'll assume you stole the article and quite rightly so.

[ 2 ] Thanks

Noooo, not at all ... this thread will soon clarify that for you.

That would actually, in the long run, be a bad mistake to make. People who have done this typically don't appreciate and/or don't believe how very much better they could have done by always doing it the other way round.

Badly.

Whatever you submit to EZA must not have been previously under any names different from the name/pen-name in which you submit it to them. Understandably. If that does happen, they'll decline it (and may even briefly suspend your account) until you explain it to them (which isn't too difficult, so it's not a total disaster if this happens, but much better avoided!).

WOW!

I can't believe I did not know this!

If I HAD known I would of submitted to my site/blog first!

Still better late than never!

Looks like my article marketing strategy has just changed again!

Thanks for the awesome answers guys.

All the best
