Question About Posting Articles To My Site

He is not copying any article,its his own. I remembered that you may want to submit a rewritten article from your blog. (okay microunique I just got your point) Post your article to your own site then rewrite it for your submissions.

Yes, you can.

They can't possibly do your site any harm. There can't possibly be any "penalty" against your site for this. They'll be syndicated content, anyway, not duplicate content, as you now know.

It's possible that there may be no SEO benefit to your site in posting them there at this stage, and that's the worst that can happen. (Of course, there may still be some other benefits). In the long run, it may help your site to have them there. It's easier to outrank article directories than many people appreciate. In any case, the fact that one of the directories will currently hold the copy of each article which is indexed in Google's main index rather than in the supplemental index doesn't necessarily mean that it will always remain that way. I've often noticed when getting an article indexed on my own site first that the week after I've submitted it to EZA, their copy of the article may rank and mine might not, but a couple of months later it can revert to being my own, originally indexed copy that ranks once again in the main index. So don't give up on them just because you submitted them the wrong way round.

This isn't right at all. (The only article directory that won't publish syndicated content is "Buzzle", which some professional article marketers don't use at all, for exactly that reason). Ezine Articles (and some other directories) specifically and expressly invite and welcome articles that people have already published on their own sites first. This thread, among others, will interest you if you imagine that they don't like "copy articles".
