    Define problem?
    Long wait, yes.
    Article acceptance, I don't know, it's been a long wait.
    Original content, well yes, I wrote it, in Ezine's eyes, I don't know, still waiting.

    I just submitted my first article in a couple of months.

    If you give me $10 you can punch me. But I reserve the right to try and dodge it.

        They don't require unique content, Joseph.

        I have over 1,200 articles there, and like many professional article marketers I've only ever submitted copies of articles already published and indexed on my own sites, and I continue to do that, and they're always accepted.

        Why do you think the reasons your work's declined are "bogus"? Do you comply fully with their editorial guidelines? Just wondering ...

    Not for a while, but actually someone pointed me to a very nice Article site called streetarticles.com
    Very tight as well on unique content which I appreciate but got my first article approved the next morning.

      I have submitted an article to Ezine two weeks ago and it is still under review. Was this your very first article you've submitted to Ezine?

        Nope, I've submitted a lot of articles to EZA and have a platinum account. Before the algo update it was common for my articles to be approved within a day...2 days max. (a few weeks ago one article went live in an hour! )

        I guess we just need to appreciate they were hit quite hard with the update and are going through changes...

    what is the actual problem you're having???

    I know they are taking a bit longer to approve at the moment - they are being more thorough and having a hard time too with the Google algorithm change.

    There are more articles being rejected too. I haven't submitted to them since my last article was rejected for 'not being original or informative enough' even though it was unique and was a good article.

    I'm going to wait until they get past this difficult phase and are back on their feet then I might start using them again.

      I am in the exact situation as you! my article was original, 900 words and informative and got the same "not being original and informative enough'! I have sent them an email asking why etc... Whilst some might disagree with my doing so, I really don't think it fair to reject an article and providing such little feedback! Let's see what they come up with, if they dare answer!!!

        I didn't bother contacting them. I just deleted it and when the box came up to give a reason for deleting it, I said that if my good quality article isn't good enough for them then I will take it elsewhere.

    I submitted one on 3/2. It's now in stage 3 of 5 for approval. Not sure if I want to continue submitting to them at this rate.

    Yes I am having some probs with Eza! Had a rant yesterday lol!! Some of my articles are still in the queue after a week or so!

    I think we just have to be OVER PATIENT with them that's all! And make sure we understand what they really want!

    Some articles I submitted before the 400 word count change have just been rejected because they're a bit short of that minimum. Who knows how much longer I'll have to wait for them to be accepted now..!

    Ezine articles just really isn't worth it anymore. IMHO -Maybe for the people who copy and paste duplicate content for their articles. But that technique is quickly going downhill.

    Bravo Sheryl

    I'll be doing the same. EZA can kiss my ass.

    For now.

    For me, I just ensure that I read their guidelines carefully.

    I do not submit to one directory and will be not at their mercy

    You should be patient instead of hating EZA. They are having a very hard time.

    I’m a Platinum author for years now. All my articles were approved the next day or the same day before Google’s search algorithm change in February, after its first change in January. Now EZA is not working as it used to.

    Today they finally approved an article I had submitted I don’t remember when… I have around 4 or 5 pending articles. This situation is a consequence of the hard time they are having trying to get rid of all the trash they have accumulated for years. EZA lost its level. EZA became totally commercial when they started making money with massive article submissions.

    Instead of hating EZA’s editors, feel sorry for them. EZA’s team suddenly lost their ranking, all their traffic, and their online reputation. They are paying for their mistakes, and trying to get something back, after losing so much.
