If you are copy pasting articles, spinning or regurgitating PLR content just to drive it to an affiliate site, watch out. EzineArticles is cracking down on affiliates that generate "thin" content.
The above methods are not the way to generate quality content and when you take short cuts like this, you can short circuit your affiliate business.
Most affiliate marketers don’t write original content and if they do write their own articles… their articles are thin, regurgitated Frankenstein article spin-written by some software program… only to flip our end users to a clickbank site (ie: they added no value in the process).
We want our million+ daily end users to leave with a positive experience. Delivering thin non-original articles only to flip the end users to a long sales letter page that further promises the moon and stars for only $49.99 does not always deliver a positive end-user experience.

A question then. I just got a new client who has a jewelry site. If I have a landing page that is selling gold necklaces - and my EZA article's link is pointing to the landing page - will EZA have a problem with this?
As long as the article is original and well written I don't think they have a problem with it linking to an affiliate page. They just have a problem with people writing no-value-added junk to try to make a buck.

If you are an affiliate marketer, you should be writing quality, original articles to promote your programs. In the case that you do this, you will have no problem with Ezine. All they are really doing is declaring war on crappy articles, not affiliates.
I agree, taking the time to write a quality article will pay off. PLR and rehashed content doesn't show up well in the search engines anyway, especially Google.
This can go either way... how do they define "thin" content? Granted, some articles are more content rich than others... but where do they plan to draw the line? If it is original content, it is not necessarily good enough?
Ezinearticles want quality contents and that's it but itsn't new because they have been screening articles before approving them ever since I knew them(Ezinearticles).
