Reject to Reject
Thanks to everyone’s input and private emails about my idea to publish the 4771 articles that we had previously rejected over the past 11 months.
After more consideration, it has become apparant to me that we have become a ‘more trusted partner’ to the search engines by rejecting those 4771 articles as we did not contribute to further littering the Internet with content that didn’t meet our editorial guidelines.
Bottom line: The short-term extra ad-revenue buck is not worth the long-term partner decrease in value that we have with the major search engines. We’ll continue to focus on only accepting quality content that delivers exceptional value to our readers and those who syndicate our articles.
In your comments you state that the “Short Term Revenue Buck is not worth the long term decrease in search engine rankings” I agree with that and believe this has been much of the down fall of your competition if you can call them competition. How can we authors be sure that you will be around long term. I see many authors with over 50 articles on your Expert Author Page and they have SIGNIFICANT time and effort and have nearly as much risked. What is the guarantee that EzineArticles is a long term endeavor and that the team has the cash flow and ability to continue? How do we know your team can handle the intense and incredible growth? No one has ever done this before? How do we know you are up for the challenge and the Team is in it to win it? Inquiring minds want to know, especially those of us who watched the DotCom Bubble Burst; We want to know does EzineArticles have what it takes? What is the level of strength of character on your team? Who are they, where are they, what are their personal achievements and can they take us authors to the next step and if we join you and make this happen, can you carry that torch to victory? Come on, Come on. The authors know where we want to go today, can EzineArticles take us there?
