Risks of outsourcing article submission

I plan on using ezinearticles to get some backlinks and I'm not very familiar with these types of sites.

I wanted to outsource the article writing and submission(to their platinum account), just giving them the resource box with links to my sites. Though I'm kinda concerned that since I don't control the account they could screw me over later somehow. (change the links or something, is that possible?) Also they would know the URL of all my sites... :/

I know if I'm this paranoid then I could just submit them myself but then I would have to use a regular ezine account. So it would be very convenient to outsource this step.

I suppose it just comes down to how trustworthy they are. So I guess I'm just asking for another opinion. Would it be unwise to do this?

    Yeah, the author is allowed to change the resource box at any time. So they could totally swap out your links down the line.

    Like you said, depends on how trustworthy they are. Your own account would be better, plus you'd get access to all the stats that ezinearticles provides, which could be useful down the road. Of course, it's more work for you to have to submit the articles.

    Here's another solution: you could open your own account and give them the password to it. Best of both worlds to a degree...but I don't even like the idea of someone else having that much power over my future.

    If you're going to be posting lots of articles you'll soon be bumped to platinum status by EZA providing the articles are accepted first time. Personally I'd avoid letting the outsourcer post using their own account... The fact that you can change the links later on is a benefit if you want to change the links to a different site. Some directories want you to prove ownership of an article as well, and that could be difficult if the article isn't associated with you own account.

      Use someone who has a good reputation and you'll significantly lower the risk of this happening.

      Also, unless someone happened to be targeting exactly the same niche as you then there wouldn't be any benefit for them to change the links.

      After all, where would they change the links to point to?

        Ezine is a very popular and a great article directory. it needs a special care in submitting any article to this directories.

        Here are some tips to get faster approval in Ezine as per my experience.

        • Your article must be more than 500 words,
        • Use proper keyword density in article
        • Do not use same keywords more than two to three times in the whole article,
        • Use two links in Resource box only.
        This way i have achieved bit proficiency in submitting articles to Ezine.

        If you want to outsource article submission then choose some expertise in this field.

          • Your article must be more than 500 words,
          Not quite, it must be a minimum of 250 words and no more than 5,000 words.

    Always control your own accounts. Hate to invest a lot of money for content and have it magically disappear some day.

    I once used a content writing service and submitted it to Ezinearticles. I ended up getting suspended, because the writers plagiarized from a website. So after giving the company a few choice words and explaining to EA, I was reinstated. So be careful about who you chose in regards to outsourcing your articles.

    It might be better to hire someone to write article directory-quality articles and then hire someone for submissions. This way you can kind of compartmentalize the procedure and protect yourself more than having all your eggs in one basket. You can find people who will only charge for approvals and it's really not that much more expensive.
