If you submitted today (Friday), you may need to wait up until Wednesday (as mentioned before 2-3 days). Saturday and Sunday are very slow days and articles are being approved very slowly.
Hi there, usually 3-5 days. This is presuming your article is in order. Ezine seem to be one of the more strict submission sites regarding their guidelines. Although from what I can gather, they are probably the most popular. My articles get loads of page views via their site and Ezine have a pr 5 or 6 so they are a great site to submit to.
I love how 20 people give you the SAME answer to the question. Should I do the same? Ok, if it's a new account - it might take up to 1 week to get it approved (or declined) all depending on the amount of articles they have to review. Ezine assigns you a reviewer - if that person is slow, it'll take longer. However, you should keep popping those articles, once you reach 10 - ezine will either promote you to Platinum or Basic+, in both cases your articles will get approved within 24 hours (in general). Good Luck, Alex
the traffic thing is relative when talking about article sites - i think it helps you better for search engine rankings
