What a Relief! Reinstated with Ezine Articles

I'm relieved to say that Ezine Articles have just removed my account from suspension, and reviewed and approved my last article I submitted. The 'problem' article which caused all this has been deleted.

So, a relatively successful week - I managed to get 5 articles submitted and approved and also learned something in the process - that you should not submit PLR articles to EzineArticles!

The articles, I'm pleased to say, are bringing a fair amount of traffic to my site. No sales yet, but I'm hopeful. I do need to spend more time on my blog that is receiving the traffic though, as it's not really optimised for the hard sell yet!

Don't mix PLR and EzineArticles

Perhaps this is spelled out very clearly in the EzineArticles T's & C's but I just fell foul of it anyway...

I submitted an article (to EzineArticles) to which I had the rights to use, but didn't have exclusive rights. Yup, I submitted a PLR (Private Label Rights) article.

Within minutes I had an email from EA saying that my account had been temporarily suspended! Aaaaaagh! My article writing was going pretty well this week, but I guess I just got a little too lazy and tried a PLR. Well, my advice is, don't! At least not with EzineArticles.

Anyway, my groveling email has been sent, asking them to reinstate my account. I'm sure they will. Well, I hope they will, but that the last time I try and take a shortcut!

Update on 14th Sep - still no word from EzineArticles. I sent them a suitably groveling email, so hopefully I'll be re-instated soon...
