HI warriors,

What do you think of submitting one same article to multiple article
directories?Can we consider that as a SPAM?

Spamming the search engine?



Thanks..

Azim

    It is best to change the article at least a little bit before submitting to different article sites. You can change the title and the opening paragraph a little to accomplish this.

    If you change it up a little you will see better results when it comes to getting the articles indexed.

    Thanks Doug,

    But I think that kind of tactics is just to decrease the effects of
    duplicate content filter by google.

    Will article marketing be considered as SPAM if you provide low
    quality article just to get backlinks?

      You get out what you put in. Yes, this can be considered spam. If you are going to go through the trouble of submitting to the article directories, why not do it right?

      A back link from an article that Google sees as duplicate content and/or spam is not going to do you any good.

      It sounds like you are trying to find an easy way out. If that is how you are looking at running your business, you are not going to get very far.

      You have to put time into your business. If you try to cut corners, do not expect very good results. If you are serious about getting quality traffic to your site using article marketing, I suggest you put some tiem aside and do it right.

      With your approach, you will not see good results.

      It should be considered as spam if you submit one "low quality" article intentionally....

      Worry about making sure that your articles have a good message and decent content and it doesn't matter if you submit it to one place or a million places.

        Yeah I agree with the above statement.

        I have submitted high quality articles to a couple diffrent places, we usually submit to 5-6 places religously. We do this without changing the article at all and have had no problems, since each directory we use allows duplicate content IF you are the original author.

        We experimented with some mass directory sumbmissions using software - and it didn't go well. I think targetting specific directories with quality articles is a better way to go.

    Yeah Doug,

    I totally agree with you.I won't go anywhere with that kind of
    article marketing method.

    Now I think,I'm gonna need to focus on writing a very good content
    that help readers as well and bring traffic to my site.
    From that one article,I can distribute it to the rest of the internet.
    I guess internet users and google also won't care too much if your
    article is very high quality and helpful.


    Jeremy,

    Thanks also for your words,it is kinda helpful.I just worried about my article
    marketing.I want to submit to many article directories but afraid that my
    article will be considered as spam.That's why I'm asking warriors opinion.

    Thanks

    No.

    Article marketing is about getting your content in the public eye, and getting it distributed to as wide an audience as possible.

    So putting it in multiple directories would be recommended, would it not?
