Love the traffic, but sometimes....sheez. I am switching things off of my Squidoo pages to my own minisite and a domain forward. Sometimes they accept my domain forward (it is a top level domain, so it is allowed) but just now they said I was forwarding to an "adult" site. Well, it isn't adult at all. Totally confusing. I know its handled by humans, but man, I want my articles back up and running!
Same thing here. I've put a top-level domain, which redirects to my hoplink at the end of my article, and some "expert" who reviewed my article, said that it contains affiliate link. OMG!
bl4ckmaN^ - just try again. Your article was probably reviewed at the end of the day with a tired reviewer. Just try again. nadavs
Same with my domains. Editors don't want to accept my articles. They say that it contains affiliate links.
EA seems to keep playing the peek-a-boo games with the writers nowadays... Well, although it's a little bit of messy now at EA, they still remains the best.
I hear ya, Today I had articles disapproved for the cheesiest reason. Grammer and Spelling. This niche has alot of vernacular and short forms, so I wrote the article to read properly from someone interested in that niche.. All I did was just re-submit it, and a different reviewer must have understood that because they are now live. Other articles I have written if they fail for whatever reason, I'll try and fix it once, if EA doesn't like it after that I just delete the article and submit it somewhere else, and I make a point to let them know in their reason box too, that after 2 submissions I'm simply deleting the article and re-submitting it elsewhere.
I've just had my account suspended because an article I got written by a member here was an exact copy of one they already had on file hopefully they can work it out.
For "safety" purposes, I never use top level domain redirection to affiliate links. They might change their rules in the future. What I do is that I build a site or a blog with affiliate links and link my articles to the blog. More than 200 articles and have never got myself banned.
I had that happen once a while back. Once I explained what had happened everything was fine. Had to delete the article and re-write it though. Bummer you had that happen from a writer here.
The most funniest thing about EA is one of my article has been approved on 22nd May, but after 6 hours one of the staff deleted my article. I'm wrote a PM and ask for the reason, then they replied me with this ridiculous answer, "You article length was too short." Gosh, what kind of length to be considered as long? As my article had over 650+ of words, and this still classified as "Too Short"?
