I'm pretty sure it's French. That's why French-Canadians get it right the first time only half the time. What was the other question? Oh ya, one free edit, then charge. If people abuse the privilege by deleting articles or other stuff, the come up with new rules. Give your plan a chance, however, it sounds right. “Getting it right the first time” is not an American tradition. I’m pretty sure it’s French.

What an artistic way to draw attention to valuable information. I think I'll snatch it for my own blog (now if I can just borrow your techie to figure out the code!)

Anyway, wanted to comment to let you know that it is a great feature to be added on... I am also interested in having something to integrate at iSnare.com so that all your premium edited articles submitted to iSnare.com will be automatically be pre-approved. Drop me an email :) Glenn Hi Chris,

It is nice to know that you and your team are doing your best to improve your reader and members' satisfaction. I hope that you will find the best solution soon so that you will solve this "Dishonesty" issue where people delete articles and submit them again. This will definitely prove further that Ezinearticles.com is a quality article directory where only quality article and honest people will be accepted. Zack :) Hi Chris,

The only motivating force (besides honesty) is that once a members article is indexed by many 3rd parties... deleting it and re-submitting it loses the traffic referral reference. We also blow away membership accounts who continually re-submit content that they just recently deleted...so it's hazardous to our members relationship with us, health...to delete and re-submit. Michelle,

I would think the majority of people would be honest though. But perhaps I'm too trusting...LOL I honestly still think by allowing one free edit per article, that you are being more than fair... if I couldn't fix or change what I needed with one edit, then I'd have no issue with paying a small fee for an edit on an article. This is, after all, some of the best 'advertising' so to speak that <strike>their</strike> there is, and in fact, is better for me than advertising, and a heck of a lot cheaper. I've been amazed for the last year 1/2 or so that this service is FREE, so learning that there will be some minor fees for 'special' things - it just makes sense and would be totally worth it, IMO.

In addition, our anti-dupe content checker will get a next generation speed and accuracy overhaul at the same time... Watch for this change coming in December.

We're approaching 300 hours a month of doing nothing but reviewing articles edited for non-quality reasons... but of course, that's our perspective. I'm sure the author is thinking that their articles are more quality to them if they generate more traffic to the authors website. We still think that if our members articles generate them more traffic, that we BOTH win together... but we also recognize that it's gotten out of hand or 'too optimized' and thus it makes sense that those who want to improve their articles efficiency to drive traffic won't mind paying a tiny fee to defray the costs associated. Also, "getting it right the first time" ...as far as I know, has nothing to do with being an American Tradition. We rarely get anything right the first time... and fail more than anyone I know because we're willing to always be trying new ways to improve.
