I just got upgraded to basic plus. I was hoping to get upgraded to platinum, but oh well. I guess it's because of the few articles I had to re-submit for problems such as overuse of keywords, etc. Anyone have any tips on the best way to get out of this basic plus conundrum? I've read a few posts on this forum, and some people have been upgraded to basic plus as much as 6 times.. Any advice from anyone on getting into platinum would be greatly appreciated? I guess if I was upgraded to platinum, I'd be more motivated to write articles knowing that they'd be approved soon..
Just don't allow bad articles to get submitted. If you get enough accepted out of your total submissions, they will upgrade you to platinum.
Ah, great! So it doesn't really matter if not ALL 25 articles are perfect? Just so long as the majority are? I also read somewhere that you have to submit 500 word articles to get into platinum. Most of mine are 250-300, so maybe that's another reason..
You don't have to submit 500 word articles to get to Platinum, you just have to submit good ones. I was upgraded to Platinum after 10 articles since I didn't have any problem articles. They started later on, but they cannot downgrade for that. The word count is wrong. I submit 250-350 word articles, and no one ever said anything about it. nadavs
You don't have to submit 500 word articles, but as far as I know you do have to get all 25 articles accepted (without any refusals). I went through 3 rounds of Basic Plus (yep, 75 articles) before I got upgraded to Platinum. Each time only one or two articles were sent back.
If getting Platinum is really important to you I would just write (or have written) 25 really, really good informational articles (no reviews or promotional sounding stuff) and submit them all together. Read all the TOS very carefully though, and be very careful with your use of keywords - in fact write for the reader rather than using keyword based articles.
I've been ( and still I am) on Basic PLUS for long time, lol Probably the only way to get to Platinum is to get ALL your articles approved without anything problems.
If it's any consolation, my articles were approved just as quick with Basic Plus as they are with Platinum - I don't think it's that important.
I was upgraded to basic plus several times, I only got to platinum after I got all 25 articles approved without any issues, the word count does not really matter at least from what I know. Most of my articles were just over 300 words
Quality doesn't matter, what you need to do is get your next 25 articles approved without a problem article. You will be upgraded for sure then. If you have problem articles they will just give you 25 more until you get it right.
I just got upgraded to platinum status. I submitted 10 articles, over a period of a couple of weeks, had no problems with them and a couple of days later automatically got upgraded. The word count for my articles range from 260 to 480 words.
