Does Ezine Use Human Editors?

5 replies
This isn't a pressing post, just a curiosity of mine. I have small errors in my articles from time to time. I write a lot so occasionally I'll leave a sentence open or make a small mistake like that. The thing is Ezine ALWAYS catches these problems.

The article goes to the problem status because of it and that's fine, I'm just amazed that given the number of articles they must receive every day, how do they have the time to read each and every article to detect these small grammatical errors?

      Yes, they have human editors.

      They've recently nearly doubled the number of them they employ, too.

      Their blog often has a lot of information about what's going on there.

      Your information's very out of date. Perhaps you haven't seen all the threads here over the last couple of weeks in which so many Warriors are expressing their surprise at how fast EZA's approval process is at the moment? :rolleyes:

      I've never been a "premium member", but Platinum and Diamond members in good standing who submit articles regularly typically get almost all of them accepted in hours, not days. I submit mine before going to sleep at night, and they're published when I wake up in the morning.

    Yes, they do. A lot of folks work there doing the human reviews.

    If you participated in one the HAHD challenges, sometimes the approval times lengthened considerably.

    Different editors alos seem to have slightly different interpretations of the overall guidelines for approval. Not huge differences, but someteims some things might slip that might not on other days or at other times, depending on who's working then.

    This is off topic and I think I asked this before but forgot the answer: is there a way to check to see if someone has syndicated my content on another website WITHOUT leaving my resource box/links intact?

      You can use one of the same ways you can use to check that your content's been indexed on your own site before submitting it anywhere else: just paste into Google a 10-word excerpt (preferably the end of one sentence and the start of the next), between inverted commas. What shows up in the SERP's has been indexed and therefore posted somewhere, and you can look at it to check your links.

      This method doesn't cover you for checking ezines, of course (unless they also happen to have a copy archived online, as some do) ... but then neither does anything else.
