The last time I submitted articles to ezine articles it took only a few days to get them approved. The next time I submitted a few other articles but those took 7 days. I was thinking about what I have done the first time so that the articles got approved faster and this is the answer: I had an article rejected. After making the necessary changes I resubmitted it together with 6 new articles. This way my rewritten articles got approved within 2 days (nothing special) and my new articles got approved within 3 days. If I had submitted the new articles without the reedited article it would have taken 7 days or more. Hope this helps
i don't know if this thing can be applied to everybody. I've done some time ago exactly the same thing, and the process took about 1 week. The admins from ezine aren't exactly the ideal ones, unfortunately.
