The old chestnut...dupe content, spinning, back links etc
- SEO |
Say I write a single unique article and get it published say in the top 50 article directories. I have 2 links in the resource box, one that points to my client's website and one that points to my business website. The article is almost entirely written to promote my clients business, although as I have a (small) link to my business website, I also get the benefit of promoting my business as well. My questions are:-
- 1. Please confirm that I am quite entitled to publish exactly the same article in each of these article directories (please assume it is not against their TOS etc, as I have checked this out previously) and there can/will be *no* ramifications/fallout (whatever) from any quarter for doing this i.e. not for me, my business/website or my clients business/website?
- 2. Will my client's website get credit for 50 back links?
- 3. Will my website get credit for 50 back links?
- 4. Will Google simply pick out the authority/original (whatever) "version" (they are all identical) and show this article (in one of the 50 directories that I published to) in the Google results (SERP's)?
- 5. If we are looking merely for back links (number not quality), do we publish to as many article directories as possible?
- 6. If we are looking merely for quality back links, do we then only publish to article directories that have high PR?
- 7. If we are looking only for traffic that comes from Google's SERP's, then do we need only to publish the article to *one* article directory? (I realize we will get traffic from the directory as well)
- 8. If we are looking to get more traffic than in 7. above, do we publish the article to the 50 article directories mentioned above or for that matter as many as possible so that we get the added traffic from each of the article directories?
- a. By spinning the article are we trying to cheat/game the system or will it or can it be seen as trying to cheat/game the system (Goole, visitors etc, whatever)?
- b. Assuming the answer to a. is no, then what % to we spin the article to?
- c. Is the spun % based purely on the original or between different versions (I am not even sure it is possible to compute the % spin between versions with the software out there currently)?
- d. What are the reasons why we spin the article?
PLEASE NO OPINIONS ONLY FACTS.:confused:
If I can get clear answers to the above, then I think I will be able to lock this one away for good.
Thanks in anticipation...
