I have a ton of articles published at Ezine Articles under various niche pen names, and they’re great.  For the most part.  The traffic generation and search engine weight can’t be beat.

But, as of late, they’ve been denying articles for truly no good reason.  It’s extremely frustrating.  Granted, it’s only happened twice to me, which - out of hundreds of submissions, is not a bad track record.  And I did have one article genuinely denied for a good reason - I had cut and pasted the wrong article’s title onto it!  WHOOPS!  haha.

But the other article, which there was absolutely nothing wrong with, came back with a completely generic rejection code - I don’t even remember what it was.  Figuring it must be a mistake, I just resubmitted, hoping to get a different reviewer.  It was rejected again, but with a totally different generic rejection code.  Figuring the third time was a charm, I submitted again while making no changes, and sure enough, it was accepted.

Then, this morning I awoke to find out that my completely non-opinionated, totally professional, couldn’t be more objective, full to the brim of journalistic integrity report on Shawn Hogan being sued by eBay has been rejected for containing libelous content.  Because when someone’s being sued, it’s not a matter of public record or anything.  No.  Apparently saying it is libel.  Whatever.

I just deleted the article.  When what they’re saying is wrong with it ISN’T actually wrong with it, there’s no real point in trying to fix it.  It just makes no damn sense.
