I still don't understand about article directory?

Hello warriors,

I am really confuse about article directories. I have a few questions I hope you can answer it.

First question,
Can I Write an article for my blog then wait until Google indexed my article in my blog, then take the exact same article (without spinning) and publish to various article directories(same article to many directories).

Second question,
Can I take articles from ezinearticle and publish it in my blog(without changing anything including the author box). Will it help me in ranking my blog? I heard people say that they will penalize people who use duplicate content, but isn't article directories are for website owner to take articles from them and publish it on their website? Isn't this the whole purpose internet marketers publish their articles in article directories?

Third question,
Ezinearticles state that you cannot republish more than 25 articles. So, can I take 20 articles from ezinearticles, another 20 articles from goarticles, and another 20 from another article directory?

Thanks,
Tenzho

    Yes.

    Article directories do not require previously unpublished content.

    And it certainly doesn't help the author to give them any.

    (But there's very, very little extra benefit in submitting to multiple article directories. That isn't really "article marketing".)

    Yes.

    That's what article directory articles are there for.

    Not much.

    Possibly a very little.

    Those are people who don't know what they're talking about (or people selling "SEO services/software" who want others to believe that). Google says "We will not penalize your site for duplicate content". (It's in their WebMaster Central Blog).

    What you describe above ISN'T "duplicate content" anyway, though - it's "syndicated content": Article Marketers - Lay the Duplicate Content Myth To Rest Once and For All | Internet Marketing and Publishing

    Yes.

    Ezine Articles doesn't quite say that. It says that you can't take more than 25 in one year for one website, and not more than 250 from their site in total. (When they opened their business, their lawyer wrote that in the terms of service mostly to make sure nobody can take every article in their database and set up a competing article directory with them. Is my guess.)

    Personally I would say NO to all these questions.

    IMO you should make all content original, either by very good spinning (so not just putting it in TBS and auto spinning) then reread them all before posting to different directories. Also note, these links are not as strong as they used to be but can still drive a little traffic.

    Again with copying articles from article networks and placing them on your site, I wouldn't bother. I know you are meant to keep the authors links in them too so this would take any traffic away from your sites. I would just find good articles and rewrite them and then they are original and yours. You should make sure the content on your money site is always top notch!!

    Hope this helps

    What about taking articles from ezine and make it as newsletter for readers. For example:

    Hi, (first name)

    You should take a look at this great article written by BLABLA.

    (Article insert here)
    (Author resource)

    P/s: If you are serious about blablabla, you should take a look as (insert affiliate link)

    Sincerely,
    (your name)

      I think your trying to find a "work-around" to a simple solution my friend.

      You need content and you basically have two options:

      • Research it and write it yourself
      • Pay someone else to do it for you
      Remember..You get what you pay for..

    Mass submission is a waste of time and resources. Yes you can syndicate your article to other places without changing anything. Your article should be high quality and engage with the reader and not just be another lame sales pitch.

    Personally I would not waste my time with others content but this is my own opinion. I would rather write all of my own content and use all of my own content. You can re-publish others articles (along with credit) and get rankings. There is no such thing as duplicate content penalty, it is a myth.

    Not sure why you want to use others content but again my own opinion is to use all my own content. You would be surprised how easy it is to write content.
