Googles changed a bit, I was using statcounter dot com and still do, got used to their analytics. May need to rethink that.

I use them exclusively for my travel articles but my other site is affiliate marketing based (still with good information articles)but I tend to use the next top 10 or so like Amazines and Articlebase etc. I think it is good thing to have the higher standards because as you say there is so much crap out there!

Many of my articles disapeared or I was told to update them. The funny thing is that even when I updated them, many were still rejected. My account was suspended from future submissions until I restored my account to good standing. (You know them with there policies) That was a lesson and now I write good articles or outsource. The thing is that you cannot do without them. So do what they want. Thanks for this article. Well, I have seen such a thing at ezine articles.

The updated guidelines can be to your advantage if used properly. This is cool, if EZA is suppose to be the standard bearing for article directories, then the content should be of good quality.

I like that Ezine has standards but I don't know about ratcheting them up and setting the bar so high. I have an Ezine account and write articles occasionally. It's all about exposure. That's the only reason I write for. My content is original but I don't want to have to sweat every article I put in there. I like the fact that I can put something, of quality, together in a short period of time and then move onto my next project. It sounds as if Ezine is going to be more time consuming than it's worth.

I'm an expert author on ezinearticles.com and have done some high ranking articles on the site. However, I've discovered that originality is a lacking element of most of the articles on the site. The truth is, if ezinearticles.com is doing this to sinitize the system then it's a good thing. It shouldn't just be a thing of the article lenght. The quality should also come to play. It's worth adding that if this is to be retroactive then most article marketers are not going to find this funny! Of course changes like this one is a welcomed development.

But why were these sub-standard articles accepted in the first place? Is it a case of giving the customer what they want? Still, I think useful content is king if the info is conveyed clearly, regardless of the length of the article and use of 'current' words and phrases. Hi John,

You can still put up articles with 250-400 words, they are just restricting the number of anchor text you can use. If you submit an article over 400 words you can have longer anchor text. They are not excluded words from the article just the anchor text, if I understand correctly i.e if you are using "health for you" as anchor text "for" does not count so if the restriction is 3 words you could have "health for you now" if for was the excluded word. Bottom line 1. you can still put up 250 word articles on e-zine. 2. there is no restriction in words in the article and words are counted so if your article word count is 505 words then that is the number of words in the article. 3. There is nothing about removing articles already approved. I hope this helps. I do believe that there is a place on the internet for short articles but that you should write articles of varied levels to be safe.

Having read their reecent blog on the new guidelines, my understanding on the exclusion of common words (to, is, in, on, it, and, at, by, a, an) only refers to the number of words in the keyword phrase for the back link.
