Ezine articles platinum

You can use the site without platinum status but you are limited to the number of articles you can submit. Platinum status gives you the ability to submit an unlimited number of articles. At the end of the day their stringent guidelines are for your good. I have been a platinum member with them for years and I appreciate the fact that they make sure every article upholds a certain standard.

Truth is, if you write good articles that provide value and have proper grammar and no spelling mistakes it will get approved. Most people that have problems getting their articles approved are those who are either not native English speakers and their articles don't read very good or they are people trying to submit crappy spun articles.

First I'd like to Thank the OP... as I had wondered the same. Naturally, nothing with the word 'limited' sounds too positive, so I have been receiving some free guidelines via email to make sure my 1st (10) articles are extra 'clean' and compliant.

If I understand correctly, they allow previously written content...which I happen to have tons of in notebooks, older blogs, and all over the place! Aside from tweaking them for on-page SEO, doesn't seem to be something to 'freak out' about...(even though I did too.)

Worst case scenario, if they do limit the article submissions based on review, I agree the quality control benefits everyone, and there's always round #2.

All the Best,

Hi Cashtree,

Please don't take it the wrong way, but almost all the "information" you mention in your original post is mistaken. And that's actually good news. Probably it's just very out of date. There've been many changes at EZA.

Did you expect it to be reliable?

It isn't true that "all become null and void". It's true that a rejection (not "anything wrong with it" - some mistakes don't cause rejections) will prevent you from getting to Platinum at your first attempt, but that doesn't nullify or void the effect of 9 good articles accepted, which are certainly taken into account the next time you're due for a review with a view to a Platinum upgrade.

This is completely wrong.

At the moment, EZA are pretty fast with their reviews. It look like that information's terribly out of date.

This simply isn't how it works.

You can submit all 10 on the same day. Even in the same hour.

Don't believe everything you read: many people get from starting to Platinum in only a few days.

Actually you are; yes. You're missing the fact that EZA is the instinctive first port of call for all webmasters and ezine publishers who are looking for content to syndicate, and that we therefore have good chances of getting well-written articles syndicated from EZA to relevant sites and ezines. (And that's where the money is, in article marketing: nobody's getting rich off an article directory's own traffic, and least of all its own backlinks, which are pretty useless, non-context-relevant, PR-0 backlinks). The fact that they're stringent and the fact that they can produce more money for article marketers than other directories are really closely connected: you wouldn't really have one without the other. For many of us, the more stringent they are in their editorial standards, the better: it's the longer-term reliability of our future incomes that those standards are to some extent protecting.

No; actually this is also wrong. If you don't get to Platinum at your first attempt, they "upgrade" you to "Basic Plus" instead (it's not really an "upgrade") and then review your status again. Meanwhile, you can continue using EZA for ever, with only two differences from a member who's achieved Platinum status: (i) your review times will be a little longer (but nothing like 2 weeks!!); (ii) you won't be allowed to submit more than 10 articles at a time without having another "review" (but it hardly sounds like that will inconvenience you?).

May I respectfully suggest that - since everything you've so far quoted from the free e-book you read - appears somehow(?) either to have misinformed or to have misguided you, that you just read this thread?

Also another thing to bear in mind is that Ezine articles is just ONE article directory and if you are in fact Article Marketing as oppose to Article Directory Marketing you can use many others.

My personal feelings are that they have got a little "strict" but I can't blame them. People trying to "game" the search engines with their 250 word meaningless articles are to thank for that.

My advice is have a look through Alexa Smith's post above and previous posts to make sure you understand how to use article marketing for your business and then you won't be too worried about getting Platinum with Ezine articles.

I got to platinum in two days. I submitted ten articles one of which had a problem. I still got my platinum though with nine good articles.

I do not consider my writing skills too be good, basic at best but what I did do was to read over eveything thoroughly before submitting.

Don't bother with EZA, they are trying to suck up to Google, because they got their arse slapped.
There are others out there.

You are calculating with an assumption that you do not submit one article until the preceding one has been accepted by EZA. As an EZA Basic writer, you are allowed to submit a maximum of ten articles while being assessed. These can be submitted over whatever timespan you choose, certainly not in the manner you are implying.

If you submit all ten articles in one day, you could, in theory be accepted as a Platinum Author within a week or so. See quote from EZA...

Every day we receive thousands of article submissions... In fact, most days they come in at a rate of 100-250 per hour, every hour. As you may know, EzineArticles is fully human moderated and that means two humans review every single article submission before they are accepted. The first Editor reviews the article to give an accept or reject decision, and the second QC Editor approves or rejects the first Editor's decision. This whole process takes thousands of labor hours monthly and is a critical component to the EzineArticles quality systems. Unfortunately, it also means that it takes time to get your article submissions reviewed.
As an EzineArticles Premium member, your article submissions will go to the front of the line and be reviewed before non-premium member article submissions. The difference this makes can shave days off the time it takes to go from article submission to accepted and published articles. The faster your articles go live on our site, the faster your articles will begin working for you to bring more traffic back to your website!

Basic-level members typically see their articles reviewed within 3-4 business days, Platinum members have their articles reviewed in 1-2 business days... while your Premium membership means your article will be reviewed usually within hours to no more than a full business day later. Last month, our average Premium member article submission was reviewed under 6 hours. Time is money and because yours is valuable, you'll get a higher return on your time when your account is Premium.

The guys at Ezine are really into the quality content thing that is why where other article sites have suffered at the hands of Google Panda update Ezine remains unaffected. It works for the better if anything. So if your article gets into Ezines then it is the ultimate thing.

I got to platinum after my first 10, why? Because I stuck to the rules, I over delivered on value in my articles, they were much longer then the minimum 400 words, I spell checked every article and I proof read them several times.

If you stick to the guidelines above there's no reason why you cannot do the same.

Listen guys, I wasn't trying to throw anyone under the bus, I think the ebooks great(introduced me to this platinum thing, which I had no idea about) and I appreciate anyone who gives out free, quality material, in general. I encourage everyone to check out anne's sight and her content, and thanks to those who've given bleeding edge updates about how things work with this e zine site, I hope I can utilize it in the future, since i'm still new to the game.

Why is article writing so important to internet marketers? I'm new to it all and I'm curious.

We have several platinum accounts of ezine ( as we work for various clients so as per requirement we need to create separate accounts). I can share from my experience that OP is completely correct about the strict nature of the posting. Only some specific writers who have several years of experience in those writing field they are confident to make sure quick approval. Overall ezine is a good site to test a writer and his patience.
