There has been a lot of talk about how EzineArticles.com have been getting a little more strict with accepting articles, that they take too long to approve them, and that they have to be really long articles to be accepted.

I really don’t agree here…

To this day, I hardly ever submit articles to any other directory.   And — if I do, I usually make sure that EZA has a copy first.

The one reason why EZA trumps all others is the fact that you can gain traffic from the directory itself…  You don’t have to rely on Google picking up the keywords before you see any return on your efforts.

And, regarding the fact that they won’t accept crap articles any more — I say “good on them’”.   The better the quality of articles on the site, the higher quality the clientele will be — better traffic, and better conversions.

As for the limit of words, their control panel still says “minimum 250 words” — it hasnt changed! And, as long as your article is useful, readable and makes sense, they’ll still accept small articles.

And BTW, I recently cancelled my premium membership with EZA — for the sole reason that I haven’t been submitting so many articles lately.   I normally rely on premium for the fact that they approve the articles so fast.  And– you can stagger out the submission times.  So, you can imagine what a shot of traffic you can get if you submit 10 articles on one day, and have one published every hour…

Anyway, back to my point. I’ve submitted a couple of articles over the last couple of days, without renewing premium.  And… I’m pleasantly surprised!

The articles were accepted within two days without a bit of bother.  And with all those horror stories I’ve seen about junior staff being overly strict…. Balderdash!
