EZA KILLER UPDATE - This Is Going To Ruin Most People's Businesses

I've moved away from the EzineCrack/Adsense farm. My content now goes on my own site, and so should yours!

 

+1 to that. I have found EZA the biggest bunch of lying hypocrites around. I still wonder why Google values them so high when there URL's are so wrong(SEO term) and it is obvious that most articles are based for sales rather than true information. Being a link builder and aff marketer myself, I do prefer CB in comparision to to others but how I wish they'd humble down a bit and come down from their so called high seat of morality.

 

I understand that they want good quality content on their site and that is a good thing for us marketers that provide good articles and not spelling-error, poor grammar crap like half of the articles on there. But at the same time, I feel they are taking a "one size fits all" approach recently to what they are accepting and declining instead of looking at each article individually.

In the past, all of my articles were accepted just fine. Recently, I've had 8 of them declined even though they were well-written and provided content, not just a scammy sales pitch. On top of that, it took them 3 days to respond to my support request asking why they got declined (they gave me absolutely no reason in the original email). Once I got the response, I fixed them to how they said and they got declined again. I sent them another email and I just got a response today (about 4-5 days later).

I've since moved to Articles Base and had no problems at all. My articles are also on auto-approve so there's no waiting.

I do understand and agree that they need to be more strict on what they accept but it seems they are too strict right now. Maybe I'll try them out again but for now I'll stick to AB.

 

Well, what I absolutely hate is their bias towards paid Platinum authors. They are going the wrong way and its only a matter of time before G hits them with SERP bans as they did with Squidoo. That would cut them down to size. Personally, I feel that the G honeymoon of EZA, Goarticles, Buzzle, Street Directory and Articlebase is bound to end soon and Google would pay more attention to dedicated SEO'd sites for them.

 

Yeah, the only reason I put articles on those types of sites is to get the quick ranking. If I tried it with my own brand new domain, it would take forever to hit the first page.

If they do stop giving those sites so much love though that might be a good thing so people will be forced to host articles on their own sites.

 

Me too. I guess they generate hundreds of millions in adsense earnings every year, so there is a possibility of some kind of arrangement between G and EZA.

btw, do you guys think that some guy at google can easily get his affiliates sites to the top (for some keywords) and rake in millions every month?

 

Lol..maybe.. But then, I guess they would be too pampered and well paid to go after aff marketing..

 

If this is enough to really ruin anybody's business you guys should really start to steer away from relying on EZA to makeh teh monies... There's 1001 ways to monetize don't let a silly old rule at EZA make you believe your business is going to suffer.

 

That can't be a reason to not abuse their powers. There are people that have billions but still not satisfied. There are people that own countries (like Royal ones of Brunei) but still disturbed. There are politicians having billions in banks but still looting countries.

I think they do. Not only G, but Bing and Yahoo guys may also be making lots of millions this way.

It isn't hard actually. They just have to dominate the review keywords for around 100 popular products and they'll be earning atleast 5k per day. (The quickest and easiest way)

Did it all make any sense to you guys or not?

 

They don't expect that. They like it, but they don't expect it.

The reality is that most marketers believe that they can get the same result with a 300-word article, and most marketers are wrong. I've found, across a range of 7 different niches, that 900-word articles produce considerably more sales than three 300-word articles do. Partly because they get republished much more widely.

Absolutely - mine always has done. It gets submitted to EZA's Adsense-farm after first being published and indexed on my own sites.

Absolutely right. EZA is far from being the only game in town.

On their site, they get to make up the rules just like you do on yours, and if theirs don't suit you, don't use them. Simple. (I don't mean "you", Norb, of course!)

For myself, the higher their editorial standards are, the more value they have to me as an article marketer (because I'm writing primarily for re-publication, to get others doing some of my off-page SEO for me by putting my work and links in front of relatively targeted audiences), and I'm very happy to see their (perhaps Google-influenced?) tightening up and more strictly enforced policies.

 

I didn't know you could submit previously published material to EZA and have it accepted. Is this true?

 

I also received this message these days.I hate this.

 

Yes, of course.

All my articles, and almost all my clients' articles, go on their own sites, and get indexed there, before being submitted to EZA.

You might find this thread helfpul (it's a long read, but there's actually enough good information in it for anyone to make a living!).

 

Ezine isn't the only way to do article marketing. I actually prefer ArticlesBase. I really do not see such a difference in rankings and traffic to warrant Ezines strict demands.

 

EzineArticles will usually only ask for proof that this is your article in the beginning. Once the editors get familiar with your account, then everything usually runs smoothly.

 

Thanks, this is very enlightening.

 

EZine did that to me a while back....... I was promoting a CPA offer though, so it kinda made sense. EZA needs to do this though to keep their credibility and not become a spam site for people. That's why they are so a**l about unique quality articles that "you" wrote or have rights to.

I'm going to start using ArticlesBase more! Anyone else?

 

Already did. I like how AB lets you have up to 3 links in the body of your article. This makes it much easier to get people to your landing page.

I just started using them recently so I'll see how it all works out. I know a few others who swear by AB and have done really well with them.
