Backlinks from duplicate content articles

I read this comment and wanted to know if a duplicate article ends up in the "supplimental index" will I still get the backlinks to my adsense site?

"don't be posting dup content. Google will rank one in the SERPs but put the other one in the "supplemental index". So you would be wasting your time. "

So if I submit 20 articles to ezinearticles with two links pointing at an adsense site and I submit the same articles to goarticles with backlinks...will the backlinks from goarticles still reach my site?

At the moment I am writing a lot of articles but all I really want is the backlinks ...If I could submit the same articles to goarticles, the two PR 6 links for every article would be worth it.

It would also save a lot of time writing another load of articles, what do you guys think or know about this?

Thanks,

Andy

    Sorry to be the one that bursts bubbles, but article marketing has taken a dramatic nose dive for being really effective for a backlink strategy...

    Unless your in an extremely non-competitive niche on long tail phrases where those links may count, but even then - if that was the case why not just social bookmark and get the same value?

    However, article marketing is good as sort of a "parasite hosting" style format where you have a brand new site with very few links and you know you won't rank for much yet, but you want traffic... You simply post a long tail article on ezine articles... Leverage ezinearticle's link juice & domain age and rank in Google with the article hoping the resource box drives traffic....

      Thanks for the info, im following the xfactor method right now so seeing how it goes with the article backlinks. How do you know that it is not that effective anymore?

      I should vary my backlinks more, but I find social bookmarking booring. I don't want to jump from one strategy to another just yet but after I have a few sites up I will experiment and see what I think works best.

      @paulgl : Thanks, I have read a few times about duplicate content being bs. I never knew if for some reason the backlinks would be disregarded by google. Anyway after reading your post I will go ahead post up the articles on goarticles and other directories.

      Looks like I could make 20+ articles go a long way

      Thanks for the help

        I have read the words of others who claim to have tested this - and one in particular - vehemently claims backlinks on content in the supplemental index will do you little good. I dont have a scientific test i can point ot either way. I want to "beleive" supp index backlinks still count - but have to also think there is a reason google has a dupe content based supp index - other than they were bored.

        Correct - no penalty. That does not seem to be the OP's query. The querey as I read it was ... am I going to get credit for those backlinks that are on pages in the supplemental index.

        Good point about the big article directories having the juice to not be in the supp index.

        Its very troublesome and time consuming to test - but it appears to me that the most logical status of a page with our backlinks - that we have the best degree that they will be counted is if - google takes the time effort and energy to cache that page [ not merely index it ]

    Go for it.

    People confuse duplicate content with dubious content.

    Articles accomplish 2 things.

    Backlinks:
    If you want strictly backlinks, who cares where the articles
    rank as long as they are indexed?

    Traffic:
    Your articles may appear in SERPs or in searches on EZA,
    or whatever article site you submit to.

    Either way, there is no duplicate content penalty for that.

    Duplicate articles are submitted, indexed, and ranked by
    google on an ongoing basis.

    This is my experience regarding what you are doing:

    The big article sites (EZA, articlemarketer,articlesbase,articledashboard, etc) will always get crawled BEFORE the rest of the smaller sites are crawled, that being the case, articles placed on those sites won't be sent to the supplemental SERPs, only the smaller article sites will be sent to the supplemental SERPs.

    As far as penalties don't worry. As long as your site is not the one hosting the dupe content you are OK and the links coming from sites sent to supplemental result pages still count because you will be getting a bit of traffic from them.

    If you want to get around the dupe content thing then you can spin the articles and distribute a unique version to each site however spinning each article into say 10 readable versions requires a lot of work! If you use an automatic spinner you'll end up with a lot of garbage....

    I have posted about this before but will repeat it.
    BTW, I will never claim to be an SEO guru. This is simply what happened to one of my articles.

    I published an article about "paling fence quote melbourne" 18 months ago

    At one stage I had 7 of the top 10 places with that exact same article and Google even used the exact same excerpt from the article. It is down to 4 spots now and still the same excerpt. Go figure.

      First I want to say that many people that know me also know I own and run that WSO in my sig--- I say that for one simple reason! I know what putting the same article on many sites does and how it reacts at Google and even how it will get you ranked....

      As Craig has pointed out, you can rank the same article on many DIFFERENT sites for ALMOST the same key word. You will get the plural version sometimes or a different word combo but, it is all the same...

      Now, whoever wants to challenge me that article marketing back links are junk---- BRING IT! These are the greatest links for a money site there is. You must be smoking crack if you think otherwise... Google will tell you this fact clearly as well. WHY? HOW???

      Simple, Google might not look at your anchor text but be rest assured that they was the keywords in the article to match the relevance and they will put them together and add a little power to that link! The problem comes when you DO NOT properly set your anchor text and then you Google bomb yourself with STUPIDITY in article marketing!!!

      I am writing a report on this now and I hope to get it out in the next few days so more Warriors can get it right!!!
