I was just reading through some recent articles at Ezinearticles for fun and ideas. Now, granted, I don't think my articles are stellar or anything. But some of the ones I read are just horrible. I know english is a second language for some people, but I was just kind of amazed.
It's funny to see some of the older articles on Ezine. It is pretty obvious that they were stuffing the articles with keywords. The best articles are the ones with longtails: (not an actual article, but you get the picture)
There are some older articles on keywords that don't even bother to string them together in a sentence like your example above. I've seen some straight up keyword lists. It's amazing that they never just deleted that stuff.

No offense to anyone with English as a second language either - and god bless you for trying N.
LoL Wow...yeah, that's pretty bad. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't attempt to write anything longer than a sentence or two in a foreign language. I give ESLers an A for effort
I don't think they even tried for that one, something tells me that NCMedia's author in question just used some scraper software to cobble together an article
The funny thing is I have seen an article or two of mine re-written with some software that uses synonyms to replace words and man, the end result was just horrid. Funny stuff though.
English is my second language too, and that's not a valid fucking excuse lol. I think EA should start rejecting articles and the reason would be something like: This shit pisses me off lol. Articles with freaking horrible grammar get accepted, while some well written articles get rejected because the freaking page that the links point to has too little content. What?
lemonarian, you're right...its seems kind of like a catch 22. Its too late, but I would love to see some of those poorly written articles rejected or removed.
