No; it won't affect the ranking of the site linked to in the articles' resource-boxes differently at all.

The quality of a backlink on a specific page in an article directory isn't altered by changing the content of the article to which it's attached.

You're asking about "duplicate content", but that isn't really what you need to know about, to find out what you actually want to know.

If Google will penalize for any thing it means Page Ranking for your website will suddenly drop and the position on SERP will be affected by this.

It is noteworthy to point out though, that Google specifically mentions to link back to the original article...when syndicating content.

That makes no sense.

Google does not penalize for duplicate content. What they
penalize for is doing things to manipulate search engines.

Putting duplicate content on your site does not mean you
are manipulating search engines. Google gives a complete
explanation of this in the link above. If anyone would just read.

So let's highlight:

Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar. Mostly, this is not deceptive in origin.

Google no longer recommends blocking crawler access to duplicate content on your website, whether with a robots.txt file or other methods. If search engines can't crawl pages with duplicate content, they can't automatically detect that these URLs point to the same content and will therefore effectively have to treat them as separate, unique pages.

Duplicate content on a site is not grounds for action on that site unless it appears that the intent of the duplicate content is to be deceptive and manipulate search engine results. If your site suffers from duplicate content issues, and you don't follow the advice listed above, we do a good job of choosing a version of the content to show in our search results.

In my opinion, being a SEO, As I am doing for my clients, Submitting the same article in different directories will not be counted as a duplicate content until unless you are not going to submit the same article in same directory. So just cool, Need not to worry about it.

If you submit the same article to 20 different directories it's very likely google will only list one of those articles in the SERP's. However, if you spin the article into 19 different versions and submit it to 20 different directories it's likely that google will list all 20 articles in the SERP's.

Nobody (except google) knows which option of the two is better from an SEO perspective.

IMO, I believe the latter option is better from an SEO perspective.

I have heard that Google do not index duplicate content and if found same content on diff site then it may not index all of them and so your link may not be followed.. here seems to have a problem.
But if you submit diff. content ( or better spinned) then it have better chance to get indexed all the content and so the link to your site.

You may not get the benefit from all the directories but it would not penalize you. When you submit to a major directory a lot of people take that content and post on their small directories. You can not control that so how can you get penalized for that.

Example: I have an IDENTICAL article (not spun) published to over 200 (two HUNDRED) article directories, all copies indexed by Google. The article backlinks to my site, and has not done it any harm.

But I am glad the so-called duplicate (actually, syndicated) content myth looks set to persist - just keep on spinnin' people, I've got some writing to do...

Thanks

If you are putting up duplicate content on your website for example
that is already published on a different website, your content won´t
appear in the search engine.

Multiple syndicated content from article directories doesn´t harm
your rankings, but it gives you backlink juice. Even if you can´t rank
for these articles, you will get backlinks in return.

Thanks
