I imagine what is going on is that they had to outsource to get some editors and they just don't know what the hell they're doing. I'm pissed off now that they're not accepting my best converting sales page. Waiting to hear back from them on what the hell the problem is.
Will you get banned if you vote for yourself? Does voting by giving rating give your article any advantage?
I'm about ready to smash my computer screen. I got an error saying you couldn't have 2 self serving links in the article body. What the Hell? The FAQ says 2 self-serving, 2 non self-serving!
That's why I have just revamped my own directory to include my own articles and those of my link submitters too. They get twice the bang for the free buck.
"general error" is not helpful in any way shape or form. I really wish they would stop using that. It means nothing. I swear some of these people don't even have any reason for disallowing the articles that they do. It's driving me crazy. I've edited one article 3 times and resubmitted it and they keep saying general error - I can't imagine what the problem is. I've edited out everything I thought could even possibly be an issue.
That's one of the worst things they do to articles. It's makes me laugh and get angry at the same time, because I get annoyed when the article is disapproved, but I laugh at stupidity of the reviewer
wow, that must hurt Did you back up those articles, at least? You must've lost some affiliate commissions
EzineArticles is kind of like Google. They make you play by all these crazy rules, but you sort of have to, since they're tops in their field.
