"2nd Article" on the Same Subject? to my Blog? My strategy SUCKS!

hi warriors!

I'm really in the infancy of "Article Marketing"

This is the "2nd Article" I have written on "the same product"
on the same subject (same affiliate product, both about 700 to 800 words)

but posting another article for the same thing on my blog
which even though "yes it is completely unique" BUT it's a run down on the same product?

I don't think I should post it on my blog?

since i already have one on my blog for the same product?

I don't know, I guess you could say my plan, isn't well "planned out"
not much of a "strategy"

Can anyone give me a pointer on an approach?

I believe since it's completely unique I can post it again to articlesbase
but just in a different category, but any better strategy?

thank you very very much

Dano~

    Don't put it on your blog. You'll bore your readers if you don't add anything new.

    If the post is high quality, offer it to another blogger in your niche as a guest post for a backlink.

    If the quality is medium to low you can send it to an article directory and get a backlink that way from it.

    Hope that helps

      thank you for being so nice kris, I really appreciate it

      yes I was planning on submitting to a few directories
      but wasn't sure if I should "base" it somewhere?

      like the 1st article I wrote on the product and placed in directories
      I pointed a "resource box" link back to my blog, and if I can one
      back to the "advertisers sales page"

      But since in this case I already have the "1st" article on my blog
      wasn't sure where the "anchor" or "home"(rhetorically speaking) should be sent to?
      especially if the directory doesn't allow links directly to a "aff sales page"

      (hope that made sense! even "non sense"! lol)


      the "guest post" I've heard that before but too long a wait for me
      I'd rather have somewhere I can post and have control
      I have a squidoo lens, but wasn't sure since it's a new lens

    I agree with the above comment fully, unless the article is from a very different angle to the first....

    You really need a plan, brain storm write, re-write then look to publish!

    If you post it to the article directories, I would still point the link back to your blog. As long as you have other content on your blog besides just the one nearly identical post, it will be fine.

    I think you might want to post it to squidoo and link that to your blog. Build some links pointed at the lens and you would have a higher quality backlink pointed back at your blog which is always helpful.
