Who owns ezinearticles

They did not, and do not do such activities on purpose. They merely publish on their own website. Most publish their articles thru the service for backtraffic to their own site, and it works very well for many.

Funny that no one else picked up on that. They allow anyone who supposedly agree with their policies to republish my work. I believe I should have the right to say which sites my work should appear on. I also believe authors should be able to blacklist sites, with the review of eZineArticles staff.

Yes, it is different when spammers use articles from eZine Articles. I was only a part of eZine Articles for a month or so. I only had 5 articles online. I can get enough exposure on my own. I believe professional writers who care about where their work appears should avoid distributors like eZine Articles.

I think your missing the point of how EA and sites like it are used though. Authors publish works because the EA site itself is ranked high on the web over all. This means google will usually direct you to the site itself if your name or related material is being looked for. Thus people get themselves on top of google quickly using the site, which brings them back traffic, and everyone wins!

I have noticed the spam exploits you refer to, and you are correct. The fine print is to protect their own butt. In the sue happy world we live in, can you blame them? In FACT.. So you are miss understanding what it is ment for. And I can legally copy it on my site to show others. But only a sample. At least that is how it is meant to work. But most of these porn sites breaks those terms of service. So efforts are in fact made to close them down.

Not at an authors request but because they hurt everyone, EA and us authors. The problems is, they pop back up as fast as you can close them down. But I also ask, really, just how much of a problem is it? People with common sense know such pages are just another form of spam, and will find another link, usually several others of the material are available. Else,frankly it is out of place. And I think most people understand that. No, I understand the point of EA. Seeing my name on nurse-xxx.

They have folks like you who are more tolerant of the situation. I personally only use spun articles to get links back to my own site. Focus on providing value for your users instead. DoFollow links give SEO link juice, boosting up the authority of the website that receives them. Most sites offer No Follow links when in doubt, because Google punishes sites that post contrived DoFollow links.

EZA offered DoFollow links in their resource box and their reputation took a hit. This blog post on their website says it all. This meant they instructed the search engines to infer that these links should bleed value from our site, brand and reputation. For EZA, it was a catch Once they replaced the DoFollow links with NoFollow links, lots of users stopped posting. There was no reason to anymore. The thing is, Google is getting better at it.

They use user and usage data to do this now. Trying to game that system with low quality junk is not going to get you very far. They also have thousands of people working in their office in Mountain View, California. Google knows that EZA was the source of thousands of contrived backlinks. As a result, they started giving manual penalties to websites with backlinks from EZA. Take a look at this email between an internet marketer from the Warrior Forum and a Google employee.

Google is secretive about their algorithm and how they rank websites. As you can imagine, there was a mad scramble to remove backlinks from EZA as fast as possible. As their name implies, Ezine is an online magazine publisher.

Like most publishers, they make money from ad revenue. Once their traffic fell off, their revenue did as well. For a while, they had a lucrative system going on. That gave them a lower overhead than a traditional magazine. Lesson: Secure high-quality content for your site by developing it in-house or by hiring a freelance writer.

I have just looked at the website and will likely register. There is one thing that I want to confirm, but is not so clear.
