EZA Is Getting Wiser, They Recognized My Articles For What They Were

Yesterday I was participating in a thread that made me laugh at myself and taught me a good lesson in regard to PLR articles.

I had, just a couple of days before, purchased 50 PLR articles in my niche for a ridiculously low sum of $3.98, and it took my fellow Warriors to make me realize that they had all been written with an article spinner.

Anyway, at the time of the thread, I had already "polished" up five of the articles and submitted them to EZA.

Well, today I got a message and two of them had been denied approval. I forget what their exact words were, but it was something to the effect of "We discourage you from purchasing PLR packs...."

I was impressed. I read a lot of negative comments about them, but in this case, they're definitely trying to provide the best experience for their visitors, by not offering duplicate material.

    Wow, impressive!

    Did you re-write the articles, or did "polish" up just mean cosmetic changes?

      I just went through each article and made some changes so that they made sense. Added some stuff, took away some stuff.

      Bu seriously, some of the sentences, jeez, you wouldn't believe!

        EZA seem to be getting much more sophisticated in sniffing out duplicate content. This game will only get harder as the article directories (as well as Google), get more clued up about article spinning and related techniques. The filtering criteria will become more stringent and the quality of the articles will have to been excellent to get through.

          I guess there's also an opportunity for re-writing s/w to get smarter too...

          When I was attempting to spin some of my own articles (for a non-EZA test) by re-writing them as groups of paragraphs, I soon discovered it's not fun at all and definitely destroys neural circuitry hehe!!

          Creating original material, on the other hand, is a well-known anti-aging placebo :-)

          Overall I've found it much easier and more satisfying to write 5 original articles than to fiddle around spinning an original five times.

    You are right buddy, i submitted one of the articles on my blog to EZA recently. Unknown to me, someone had copied my own article and posted it on his website word for word. The result? My account is presently suspended. i cannot submit fresh post for now.

    If the spun content is greatly reduced. I guess it will make it easier for the more talented writers to come to the fore, as their product will have higher value.

    Not trying to be difficult but why wouldn't you just write your own or get someone to write them for you?

      If you were to read EZA's TOS, you would have seen that is clearly says...

      "No submitting PLR articles."

      So why would you even do such a thing?

      You're lucky they didn't just close your account and ban you for life.

    Over the years on the web I've learned that "quick" most often results in "bad results".

    My experience is with Google. You don't EVER want to be on Google's watch list.
