EZA's editing system (or editors) are flawed

I submitted an article with 11 words in the title, with each word being different.

To use a similar but unrelated example, my article has a title like "Do you enjoy [verb]'ing? An [accessory] may improve your performance"

And it gets rejected because:

Article Titles which contain excessive keyword or keyphrase density will not be accepted. If you are going to make the first 2-4 words very keyword dense in your article title, do not repeat the keywords a 2nd time in your title.
Are you seriously kidding me? There are no repeating keywords in my title. There aren't even any repeating words in my title. In fact, the first few words in my title are "do you enjoy". How the fuck is that "keyword dense?"

Don't they "human review" all their articles? Fucking idiots, the lot of them. At least the ones who reject my articles.
 
That's bizarre, I've never had that excuse thrown at me before, so I can't really help you on that one. Seems like they have it in for you for some reason.
 
I took a look at one of their 'featured' writers, as suggested by redtide, just to get a feel for what they want. This contributor had almost half a mil articles and were almost illegible because of the overwhelming keyword density. Really, almost every four or five words. How many is too many?

Many of them were probably from before when they had different (more lax) guidelines.
 
Yeah, they used to let people overstuff the content with keywords (some of them were pretty laughable) but now you have to spread out each keyword by 100 characters. The highest keyword density you can obtain is about 2.1% now. If you try to go higher it wont let you submit it, you'll get a pop-up box that warns you about the 100 characters limitations.

I have a friend who got all of their past articles pulled from publication (literally 1000's) when the new rules went into effect due to the overuse of keywords.
 
EZA is tightening up the screws and indicates that they want "higher quality" articles and also reveals that up to 40% of articles are being rejected these days. I am on their mailing list and receive regular updates.

Try shortening your title, with your keyword within the first three words.
