Same article, different directories

[opportunist86]

I write articles my self. Can I post same article about same topic on different directories at the same time?

[Joe Robinson]

Put simply: yes, you can.

[elizabethjean733]

This is absolutely spamming and these kinds of methods are consider as black hat techniques which can bane or devalue your website. Therefore, you should submit one article in one directory or in two after spin article.

Do you even know what article directories are used for?

[tylerjaysen]

I don't know about this being spamming or Black hat....but yea if you have same article submitted to 3 different directories at the same time...you should be ok. But yeah try using a decent article spinner and then submit the spun articles ( at least 70% unique from original) to the other different directories so that you can have different content that will be unique too.

But what about articles picked up in RSS feeds, don't they go out to 100's of sites with identical content?

[Ohioquotes]

Don't Drudge Report, Huffington Post, and many others use non-original content? And they have a high PR.

It wouldn't matter just as long as you don't have duplicate content with in your site. Distributing the same article to other directories are recognized as syndicated content.

[Rollmodl]

No such thing as duplicate content. If the same article is "syndicated" on 100 sites, Google will only show one that has the highest authority. No need to show the same article 100 times.

If you want to publish the same article in a directory and your website, optimize the one to be used on your site, otherwise the one submitted to directories will outrank you. This will avoid you from competing against yourself.

If you are using directories to gain backlinks and traffic, SEO is not important, only the links within the content.

So spamming is black hat and bad, but spinning context is ok and totally white hat? Sorry but you make no sense and everything you said is plain wrong.

It's no spam. Go on and submit your articles as often you like.
But can happen that some article directories don't accept an article which is already posted somewhere else.

No, it's not spam. Also, if you plan to build a credible business you should never spin your articles. The only people who will encourage you to do so are the idiots that sell you the spinning software. Quality content is what is going to make you money these days.

More to the point, posting the same article to different directories is not spam, duplicate content, or anything like that. It's all about getting your content syndicated, which means that article will be on even more websites. Is Google going to show all of them? No. According to their guidelines they are only going to show the copy from the most reputable website. That does not mean that any other sites showing it will be punished though.

Thanks a lot mate!
Well, what about backlinks? Will google count only one backlink or different from different article sites?

Backlinks and all that SEO jazz really isn't my kind of thing. Smarter people than myself will have to answer that question I'm afraid . All I know for sure is that the backlinks from article directories are PR-0...so yeah. Article directories aren't really about the backlinks anyways. They are a place where your articles are put on display for possible syndication (published on another site). Syndication is an excellent way to gain traffic/authority in a niche.

Also, the backlinks that reputable sites will give you by publishing your content aren't too shabby (from what I hear lol).

[linkbuildr]

if you're targeting certain anchor text in your articles and "spreading" it then you're going against google TOS.

[stefijain]

yes you can submit same articles in different article websites, this is good to submit articles and get more backlinks.

[samual james]

After panda update you cant, if you are looking for backlink and traffic then every time you publish new article your article should be genuine and unique. Article spinning technique will not helps you.

[Thierry Samuel]

you may use the article spinning program - the best spinner since it been known as "the best" article spinning software.

Thanks for your advice.
As you can see there are more replies stating that I can. However, as you have mentioned Panda rule so I think it will not be a better idea to do that. I have already submitted one article to four sites. Should I delete it?

funny how one word changes the entire point of view.

[Antivirus]

Yes off course you can but more profitable would be if you spin it and submit it. I have tried the both ways. For me Spun content submission in different directories work well.

[AnythingMarketing]

Yeah, in my experience the whole article spinning theory is mostly about selling spinners...

You are entirely correct. We could use some more people like you in the Main Discussion area...lol.

[Theeban]

You can submit single article to many directories, but it is better to not to go for too many, just limit to about 15-20 directories. If you submit to many, it will not harm, but the value which has been carried by each link may be decreased.

[addy80]

yeah i also agree with you..you speak there very truly..i always attract to watch videos of article spun software.but i think its useless..they make us fool..

I published one article on my site then sumitted the same article to about 20 web 2.0 for backlinks. About half of the web 2.0 got indexed by Google and when searching a segment of the article, my site is listed but not the web 2.0. Since some web 2.0 are indexed, does it help with SEO in any way? Did not manual spin and submit to web 2.0 because of the cost.
