Ezine Is Accepting Longer Articles Quicker.

15 replies
Well well, I do a lot of testing and lately I have noticed if you start writing longer and more higher quality articles, Ezine tends to accept them quicker. Just yesterday I posted a 1200 word article. Today it is accepted.

How good of them to reward people if they are doing this. Well its a good sign anyway and I am not going to rouse on them for doing it.

Anyone else experienced this or testing this??????????

All I can say is that this is what EA wants now, and also google. I shudder when I see people in here still talking about spinning or offering spininner services on the warrior forum. YUCK....just YUCK!

Just goes to show and prove that high quality and originality is what everyone wants including your readers (i.e. most likely to become buyers)

    I haven't tested it by submitting shorter ones for a long time, because I agree with everything you say. But my acceptance and publishing times certainly improved greatly when I increased my average length to over 1,000 words.

    EZA, Google, and people who syndicate articles all prefer longer ones - and all for good and valid reasons.

    In some contexts, length matters, after all.

    I'm with you all the way. To be honest, I shudder when I see a lot of people's opinions about spinning, auto-submission, "articles as SEO" and "duplicate content penalties" - but what can you do? The teachings of the Urban Myth School of internet marketing are very pervasive and very popular. (Among those not making a living - but hey: they're the majority, you know?) :confused:

    This is the key point, it seems to me. The ones who are most likely to become buyers are the ones who are willing to read the content syndicated by the ezines to which they subscribe, and the authority sites they frequently return to. Few people (understandably) are syndicating short articles, and that means fewer customers are attracted by them.

    Thanks alexa, Makes sense to me.

    I think I need to test more and post with my findings. But since the google changes, its seems I do have more success with longer articles and my contacts seem to be asking for more of them too.

    Maybe I am onto something we shall see.

    I agree on the spinning thing too. I thought peoples eyes would be open by now, but oh well....what can ya do

    Very true, and you really can't deliver that quality information in just 500 words.

    I don't even look at them when they are posted anymore lol

      Agreed there joe boy.

      I am finding the 800 - 1200 words perfect for articles right now. I am a testing nut and I mean nut with a capital "N" :p

      But over 1000 words seems to be working the best right now.

      Maybe in the year 2030 we will all have to be writing a novel to get some interest or buyers to come. LOL. I hope not.

        Yeah when I get started I intend to be up there. 1000-2000 words per article (trying for 2000 every time).

        Hm...I wonder what article marketing will actually be like in 2030. Assuming the world doesn't end in 2012 of course.

          I'm not sure this is new. I've always had articles approved quickly at EZA. I thought it was due to Platinum status (never had the paid option there) but now I wonder.

          I don't think I've submitted an article less than 750 words to EZA and most are 1000 words. Maybe that's why they went live so quickly? Never thought of that or I would have tested it.

    This is great news. I have started writing much longer articles. Quality is and should be king. Syndication should now rule

    A very thought provoking post, I myself have been looking at whether or not I should increase the length of my articles, and whether there would be any kind of benefit.

    Not only does it seem there is a benefit with regard to syndication, but also with faster acceptance, at least for now.

    As for 2030, I intendt to focus solely on 2012, and not worry about 2030, because it's a way off yet

    Quality is always key and to add my two cents here.....it cannot just be a 1,200 word article, but one that is usable, readable, and meant for the reader. I hear all these SEO tips out there and how you need to write articles to get listed on Google, but NEVER have I heard of Google reading an article.

    Write for those reading your article and make it usable content and you will have better luck getting picked up by publishers.

    As other have said, quality is improved with length. I doubt Ezine is stupid: I'm sure they know of all of the low-quality articles that are <500 from being either scraped together real quickly or spun. I wouldn't doubt if ones above a certain length are in a "express lane" toward acceptance.

    Nice to know. I stopped submitting to Ezine a long time ago, but I am sure this is going to be great news for those that do.
