Is it ok to submit same article in multiple article directories?

[ems82]

Hello everyone,

Will it be beneficial for anyone to submit the same article to multiple article directories?

I have started my article writing campaign a few days ago. I have written 3 articles and all of them are published. Among, them i want to submit one article to some more article directories. I want to do it for getting more backlinks and make the proces of driving traffic to my site a bit faster. But, i am not sure whether i should do it or not.

So, i need your help. Please share your ideas, knowledge and thoughts about the issue.

Regards,

My advice is to rewrite it and submit to another article directory. you will not get penalise by Google on Duplicate contents.

This is what i usually do to write one article, and rewrite it with another keywords and submit to different directory.

You can submit the same article to thousands of article directories without any problem but do not post the same article to your website..

Hi,

In the past I have submitted the same article to numerous article sites over a period of two days and I have been picked up by some of the bigger sites and I see I am still appearing in Google searches.

The internet is all about fresh content these days, so varying your original article when submitting would make it more unique.

At the end of the day, it's your choice and a time/result balance.

You can submit to more than one article directory, but it doesn't take much effort to reword the article and would then make each one unique.

Talk about rewriting articles. Does anyone know of decent article spinner software that produces something intelligible instead of gobbledygook? I guess like most other inhabitants of Planet Earth, I loathe the burdensome. Most of the ones on the market that I've seen so far doesn't produce anything fit for human consumption.

Then Solidsnake, a question on your reply, if I may ask, what is the logic behind posting an article to multiple site but not to your own? Has it to do with being penalized for duplicate content and if it is not on your site, you're not connected? Sorry if the question is clumsy, but yours was an interesting comment

Cheers

It is very OK to submit the same article to every article directories just be sure that you don't same article on your website.

Yes it is ok to do this i personally follow this method all the time and submit the original to goarticles.com and then submit it again to about 12 article directories and then bookmark it to about 20 bookmarking sites. Also if your into the social thing posting the original article on twitter and facebook can give you brilliant results.

To be honest... I have only really got traffic from Ezinearticles and Goarticles.. no matter how many I submit an article to.

Try sending it to many article site.. see which ones work.. then just submit it to those that work and if you can re-write. This way.. less places to submit.. less work you need to do re-writing them!

Cheers

You will definitely will want to spin your article
a number of times or at least find a software which does it
for you. Many of the article sites perform a "unique content".
So you will have to spin your articles.

Like a lot of people, I submit to ezine first. Once approved, I'll re-write it and submit to 12 or so of the "second tier" directories. I'll then usually re-write it again and put it on my website. All three versions pass "uniqueness" tests so I don't have to worry about duplicate content.

Then after that, I bookmark the new website page on the top 10 or so "first-tier" social sites. Then I'll ping the ezine RSS feed for whichever author profile I used on that article.

Then, if I'm feeling really ambitious, I'll bookmark the newly created "first-tier" bookmark pages on "second-tier" social sites. I don't bookmark "second tier" social sites directly to my "money-site.

It sounds like a lot of work for one little article, but it does maximize the time investment I've already made in the original ezine article. My own experiments seem to indicate that Google does like this secondary linking technique rather than just mass bookmarking 50 or so social sites to your money site.

I guess I went beyond the original question, but I thought I'd share the whole process for you.

There is nothing wrong to submit an article that is on your web site already to article directories as long the submitted article includes the resource box which links back to your web site (article).

Better though is it to submit a different article that links back to your web site.

You can submit to multiple sites if you wish, however prob better to submit unique content to the higher PR sites.

[AndyBlackSEO]

If you submit the same article to 30 directories your backlinks will only be valid on one or two of them within a couple of weeks. The rest will be in the supplemental index and stripped of any value. That is gospel!

Rewrite your articles so they are unique.

This question has been asked loads before. For backlinks, one unique article per directory.

[InternetMarketingIQ]

Sure you can. The Associated Press articles hit how many thousands of newspapers each day? It's all about what makes sense.

It makes no sense to rewrite the same article a hundred times if it's well written and too the point.

A lot of people wear Nike Brand Shoes, and they don't all buy them from the same store do they? Of course not. Because their distribution model is diverse.

So is your article model.

If you are worried about a penalty it makes no sense. Google filters duplicate content and rewards whom they believe to be the most relevant. They don't really penalize.

Having said that, if it's just a junk article to get backlinks then you are missing the point. Make your articles stick! Write articles people will want to read so they will get distributed and used on a wide variety of sites related to the purpose of your article.

[AndyBlackSEO]

What is referred to as the sandbox is NOT the supplemental index. They are both seperate things.

The supplemental index is where google sticks web pages that it finds very similar to other pages that it has already indexed.

To stop people getting an easy ride they devalued those links that are present on those supplemental pages.

Trust me. Unique content all the way when building backlinks. You are even better off altering your resource box often to.
