Article Marketing Etiquette

I believe EZA requires unique content but I am not completely sure since I stopped working with them a long time ago.

No. Not at all.

No; no need at all! And nothing to gain by doing that.

But what you should always do is publish all your articles on your own site first and have them indexed there, before you ever submit them anywhere else. For all the reasons explained by so many successful, experienced, professional article marketers in this important and super-helpful thread, which may also contain the answer to 30 other questions you may have about article directories and related matters.

Like many other professional article marketers, I have 1,200+ articles on EZA. All of them were first published and indexed on my own sites, and then submitted to a few article directories (which you can do in any order you like).

EZA has never required fresh, unpublished content.

Neither has any other article directory apart from Buzzle (which is, for obvious reasons, the one that so many of us here never use at all).

It makes no sense at all, when compared with the alternatives, to give any article directory your fresh, unpublished work.

It doesn't, actually. It never has done. They re-discussed this issue very recently, after the latest Google algorithm change and announced, yet again, clearly and unambiguously, on their blog, that they still do not require previously unpublished content.

Thank you Alexa... I have had problems where EZA rejected an article because it was on my site first. I have no idea why that was (perhaps my own inexperience at that time). I just changed my article and re-submitted to EZA.

I appreciate your time in clarifying this because I just wrote a thorough article explaining some information that would be a pain to re-write (and would honestly just be the same article, re-hashed) and while I wait for EZA to initially review, etc. I'd like to publish this information elsewhere.

Thanks again!
