EzineArticles does not approve of my articles

Hi pr0n1x, I wonder if the most important problem with the article is that the FIRST sentence sounds awkward. It may be the worst sentence in the article. First impressions are SO important.

their video cameras efficiency
should be
their video cameras' efficiency

Almost every sentence in the article either has a misspelling or a grammatical error. If I were an article directory, I would reject it as well. It almost reads like a spun article and that's probably what they are thinking. Do yourself a favor and use only English native speaking writers.

1. Articles such as these are one reason why Google doesn't love EZA as much any more.

2. The person that approved this was busy talking on the phone or something other than paying attention to quality.

This article is almost as bad as the one above.

Don't take offense - just go do something about it.

Yes, they have been known to approve poor articles before. That's because they have many different people looking at articles in order to approve them.

But two wrongs don't make a right.

Your article is not good, at all. The English is not natural and makes little sense.

Sorry, but the truth's the truth.

can it really bad quality?

Honest answer?

It's awful. The syntax and grammar are terrible.

There's a fair chance this was spun from some another article, as evidenced by such phrases as "professional passes." (Probably originally written as "business paths.") Not to mention that you're unlikely to get someone to do the reserach necessary to talk about company history at the prices you likely paid without them stealing from another source.

So, yeah. It's awful.

I think they expect a certain format of writing articles for their site. There should not be repetition of thoughts or ideas in an article. The article should be highly informative and should have the pros and cons of any topic taken for writing.

One way you might can get them approved next time is to send along a bottle of Tylenol with them. My head hurts reading that - no offense intended.

Or just get a good native writer that will write a good article. At least you'll save on the Tylenol.

Probably the combination of too much key word and the grammar and spelling errors. And I agree with the others that you should probably hire a profesiona Content writer.

Are all those underlined words links? Ezine only accepts an article that has a maximum of four (4) links both the article body and the Resource Box.

ezine are a lot much stricter than the other article directories, so it's always better to use native writers for them.

Yes: it's terrible.

I intend this comment helpfully: it makes no difference whether Ezine Articles accepts or rejects an article like this, anyway, because there's no benefit to you from having it accepted. Nobody will ever syndicate (re-publish) an article like that, so all it can ever do is sit inside Ezine Articles. That doesn't help you at all, because the backlink from an article directory is worthless, and no article marketer wants to get their SEO traffic coming via an article directory, for all the reasons explained in such detail in this post.

Don't be frustrated at Ezine Articles for rejecting it. They were actually right to do so, and its publication there wouldn't have helped you if they'd accepted it.

Nobody is going to re-publish a promotional/advertising article on their website, or in their ezine - and getting articles re-published on websites and in ezines is the only purpose of using an article directory.

I do appreciate how difficult it is, when English isn't your language and you have to buy articles.

Again, no criticism implied, but I think it will help you to change your overall strategy regarding "article marketing", because what you're trying to do at the moment isn't going to produce income for you.

Just to add to what everyone else has said. That's not an article, it's an advert.

Why not forget about Ezine and any other article directory in English. Why not write a site in your own language and promote your products to local buyers? I know you'll have fewer potential buyers, but you will also have much less competition.

This was obviously written by someone who has poor English skills and who most likely "spun" articles that he/she found online.

The main problem is that the word choices are not natural.

You're in a tough position of trying to buy a product whose quality you have no ability to judge. Therefore you have to take the most conservative buying strategy and hire a writer who is a native English speaker and who has many, many testimonials about their excellent writing skills.

Try again with a different writer.

Poor use of the English language, poor sentence structure, some sentences are full of unrelated half phrases and half ideas.

My suggestion to you would be to get a new writer. If you want to compete in an English speaking market, you really need a native English speaker/writer and not just a native writer, but a skilled one. One that can create not only grammatically correct pieces, but can craft compelling, interesting pieces with a bit of flair, rather than some yawn inducing pieces.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but if you want to be successful, you need to know the truth.

If I was you I'd just pay less for really good articles and market the crap out of them, instead of buying cheap ones that won't do anything.

Perhaps you could study on the side and learn to write yourself. If you plan on being in the game for a long time it's maybe a good idea.

Or you could even do videos.

I feel bad for that writer because they have to earn a living, but if I was them I'd maybe look at SEO.

As other people have said, from reading it, it sounds like a spun article and there are a good few grammatical errors. I know from past experience that Enzine articles are very strict compared to other article directories, if there is anything wrong with the article they will reject it.

When Ezine Articles did not approve two Articles of mine in a row, I declined to use their service any longer. Particularly since those two Articles were purportedly to have grammatical errors , but in fact there was not any. I resubmitted both Articles as is and got them finally approved after much time wasted !!

I do make grammatical errors in my content especially if I write the content too fast. But there were no errors in these two Articles as I took my time writing them.

And there was no excuse for Ezine Articles to make their 'own errors' in reviewing these Articles two times in a row !

Thanks but no thanks !!

You're right, EZA and their grammatical standards are totally stupid. I mean they could have perfectly written content like this quoted post on their site and they are voluntarily turning it down? Ludicrous! :rolleyes"

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. Regardless, I think you completely missed my whole point. Or improperly used my quote. I am not saying Ezine Articles is stupid for having such stringent guidelines for grammar etc..etc.. ??

But, (and this is a big but) in my case they actually made the grammatical errors by pointing out grammar that was in fact NOT errors. It may not happen much but was enough for me to say 'once shame on you' , 'twice shame on me' !!!

I'm late to the party, but so far all I've seen is three really, really bad articles and a mediocre attempt at rewriting the beginning of one.

Not trying to pile on, but the only way any of those articles (including the attempted rewrite) would make it onto any of my sites would be as a warning to would-be contributors of what not to submit.

OP, whatever you paid for those articles, you got overcharged...

This one is worse than the first.

There are issues with the first two sentences. I stopped reading after that. In the first, the writer ends the sentence with "the scientists and researchers." It should read scientists and researchers without the word the.

The phrase in the following sentence, so many researches and studies, is at issue. It should read so much research and study or so many research projects and studies...

An article like this might be great as link bait but anyone wanting to actually read if for information would click away almost immediately.

CHEERS

Canon Professional Camcorders: the price paid for High Quality and Affordability.

Today Canon the Company is one of the forerunners in the field of Professional Camcorder Production ,but if we go back in history and trace its success we can see the ups and downs the company has faced in its past .

In fact for Canon it took more than 60 years to design its professional Camcorder Range which are now highly recognized for their exceptional Quality and affordability.

What operational and working improvements do these Camcorders from Canon Require?

By far the most difficult task Canon engineers faced was the introduction of the design of the authentic lenses into the video cameras, this forced the Canon laboratory to join forces with the well known Nippon Kogaku Kogyo company the future founder of Nikon who had a small Laboratory specializing in lenses production back in 1936.

Your sample articles are what I call search engine fodder. That means they are only suitable to inflate the post count of a site used for link juice. Just reading them gave me a headache. Bad grammar, awkward sentence structure, and they offer zero value for the end user. Truly terrible. Next time, find an author who knows the subject and is a native speaker, especially if you are going to post to EZA.
