I have been signed up with ezinearticles for 3 months and have yet to have an article accepted. I was banned from the first article I ever submitted. I finaly got my account opened back up and I have a perfect article I had outsourced and sent it to them. They are saying my site doesnt have enough relevent information to my article. Im following john xfactors adsense master course. He says to write on a diff. niche topic to avoid out ranking my main site. My article is on pet grooming and my niche is on an electronic product. Has anyone else had this prob. Its a pain in the a** but from what I hear ezine is the way to go. Any helpful tips would be great. Thanks!

    Ezine accepts my spun articles... lol... but the articles are spun really well.

    Forget about Ezines, why don't you just use another directory like Free News, Magazines, Newspapers, Journals, Reference Articles and Classic Books - Free Online Library which is a PR7 site and they accept just about any article.

    You are clearly using outdated information and have not read the latest EZA TOS.

      This.

      Also, why would you write an article on pet grooming for an electronics site? Your articles, in general, shouldn't outrank your website. They might temporarily, but once you start building a solid backlink profile, your website should dominate them easily. That's really not good advice at all, IMO.

        Yes, write articles about your niche is the right move. Just think about it, if you allow guests post on your, let's say, cars blog, and someone send you an cars article contains ED medicine links, would you approve that?

    Yeah you're reading outdated material. I don't know if that's the first or second ebook, but since the Panda update ezinearticles isn't going to accept an article with a non-related resource box. I haven't read the ebook, but I think the idea was to choose a small or narrow niche to target and write the article for a larger niche like weight loss so you'd get more distribution and backlinks. But ezinearticles at least won't accept it.

    EZA actually has a lot of good content but yes they do take a lot of time to approve articles.

    However, once you do have some articles going, and once they are approved, you should be able to get good link juice from those resource box links.

        Its not as simple as that. EZA has a lot of domain authority so any link from that domain is good.

        My rule is, get all the good links you can

      Its worth a shot.

      When you say it takes 30-45 min. to create a good spun article, do you mean one version? Or are you talking about fully spinning an article for general submission? I find that it takes me hours to get a full article spun for general submission. At least to do it well. One version I can understand, but not spun enough to make a lot of them.

    I agree with the others.

    The article is not going to outrank your site once you build other backlinks to it. If you are worried about outranking than just don't target any keywords with your ezine article.

    For example, if you want to write a radio and your targeted keyword on your website it "best radio" than just don't put the term "best radio" in your ezine article in the title or more than once or twice in the article body.

    Like someone else mentioned, ezine even accepts my spun content. It really isn't difficult to get accepted.

    ezinearticles doesn't allow that (resource links not related to article). You're right. They are a pain. I gave up on them a long time ago.

      I still submit articles to Ezinearticles every week, and they almost always get approved.

      If you aren't getting any of your articles approved, you are doing something wrong. Either your grammar isn't great, your articles have other errors, or you are writing it in a way they don't like. Sometimes you can get editors that reject an article for petty reasons; however, if you can't get any of your articles approved, then you probably need to work on your writing skills.

      If English is not your first language, then you will probably have a lot more trouble getting your articles approved by Ezinearticles.

      Occasionally, I write articles that don't get approved by Ezinearticles for various reasons. Instead of arguing with them over petty issues, I just delete the article from Ezinearticles and submit it at other sites.

      If Ezinearticles doesn't like your writing style, don't sweat it. Ezinearticles is not the only game in town, and you should be submitting all of your articles to your own site first regardless of what Ezine thinks about your writing.

      Don't submit your articles to Hubpages unless it is a unique article. Ezinearticles will accept articles from your own site, but Hubpages doesn't want any duplicate content.

    Complaint about hubpages: I just submitted 3 articles. They are three that I wrote myself and had spun for general submission. They were rejected as being duplicate content.

    So someone else took some version of my article and submitted it there before me. That's the only thing I can assume because those articles were MINE. ARGH.

    Really dude? They've accepted every article I ever turned into them and most weren't even that great, but they were at least written by humans who could write in English (not spinned or outsourced for super cheap).

    I haven't tried any articles with ezine recently, so maybe they've gotten stricter. Anyway, there are plenty of good alternatives, and always make sure to proof read anything before you submit it.

      Ezine is a must in your article marketing distribution strategy because it has a huge weight in Google's eyes and you will often manage to get your articles ranked by publishing them there. They enforce their editorial guidelines strictly and can sometimes really lack flexibility, so make sure you comply with their rules, submit articles manually (don't use software), and bear with them when they tell you your anchor text cannot be more than 5 words...

      Perhaps you can try out a new account and this time make sure you follow the guidelines...

      Also as mentioned you can consider other top directories yet with more flexible editorial team such as Articlesbase, Goarticles, and Articledashboard

      Buzzle is also quite loved by Google and articles published on Buzzle often get ranked high in the search engines and backlinks from this site are good because they do not accept anyone. One thing is that it only accepts unique content...

    ezine does take a lot of time to accept one's articles. to be specific you should create quality content by writing some thing fresh.

    I have also tried posting in ezine but most of my posts got rejected. I used spun articles and also edited it manually but still can't have it accepted. I guess ezine don't like me as well.

    If you follow the guidelines you will get your articles approved without a problem.

    However, if you're not familiar with what EZA wants, then chances are that you may be overlooking some of the details they require.

    Here's the link to what's required for a submission:

    Editorial Guidelines For Submitting Quality Articles To EzineArticles.com

    It's definitely worth getting it right, as EZA is both reputable and heavily visited by millions of people.

    you need to look at what mistakes you made...from there made changes and submit again...i suggest writing the article yourself first..

    I think you were given a completely wrong advice during your course - it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to spend time writing an article on a topic which has zero relevancy to your niche - you have mislead both the editors and would have majorly mislead the reader. As mentioned, I do not see an issue in writing relevant content and posting relevant links to your site - if anything, it increases clickthrough for the article and if you build links using other techniques, there is no way the article is going to outrank your site (unless you launched the site yesterday and it has 0 backlinks).

      Go articles and the library accept all of mine I just havnt had any index and its been 3 weeks. I know I have a good amout of backlinks poping up slowly. These articles were outsourced and they came back really nice. The writer really did give me quality. I wrote my own article related to my niche and got declined again saying there is not enough relative information. My site has 1500 word unique, tested with copyscape articles so its not then and my site is about electronic reviews for products im targeting. The ezine article I submitted was how to fix a prob. These devices sometimes have and it was declined. Great article as well. So I sent two test articles with just a resource box description and no link and they accepted. I dunno..i will pay someone to write and submit an article. Other then that, I moved on to others..
