Rejected by EzineArticles? Here’s Help

Posted in Article Directories, Article Submission, Article Writing

Well, it’s about time to answer this question because many article writers and marketers are totally puzzled over some of the rejections that they’re getting lately. So, it’s time that we cleared up some of the confusion and explained some of these rejections. Some are simple to explain and some, not so simple. Keep reading and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

For starters, I’m not talking about the usual reasons why you would have an article rejected, such as poor grammar or submitting blatantly obvious PLR material. I’m talking about articles that you’ve been submitting all along that were always approved and suddenly are not approved. There are essentially three reasons for these rejections.

Reason number one is that, while the official Ezine Articles site still says “minimum 250 words” for each submitted article, they have finally raised their standards, unofficially, to about 400 words minimum. Now, that doesn’t mean that you can’t submit a 250 word article and get away with it. You might. But the seasoned editors have been instructed to require longer articles. The news ones have been instructed to do the same, but you know how it is when you’re new. You don’t always do what you’re supposed to.

Reason number two is that, because of the FTC crackdown and all the scams out there, some topics are no longer allowed at Ezine Articles. While these aren’t specifically spelled out in their TOS, if you submit an article on a topic like Satellite TVs or Acai Berry, there is a good chance that an editor who is on top of these things will reject your article, where at one time, it would have been accepted. Unfortunately, there is no way to know what these topics are until they are publicly posted. So you’re just going to have to submit and take your chances.

Reason number three has to do with the general error that has no valid reason. In most of these cases, like it or not, the reason for rejection is because the editor made a mistake. Many times, what will happen is that you will get a response to a ticket you sent in on the matter saying that the article was rejected in error and they will then approve if. I know it’s annoying, but people make mistakes. Don’t get bent out of shape over it. Eventually, your article will be approved if it doesn’t violate any of their guidelines.

There you have it…the three main reasons why articles that used to be approved are suddenly getting rejected. If you keep these things in mind, it will go a long way to preserving your sanity when submitting to Ezine Articles.
