the answer is yes, duplicate content penalty is a myth.

You can do this. Time consuming if you do it manually. What I would do is pick about 8 article sites and submit the articles to them all. After 3 or 4 weeks check to see which ones are most effective in terms of backlinks and clicks to your site. Pick the 3 most effective ones and focus all your efforts on those sites.

Unless you are using software of course where you can just blast out to 100's at a time. Personally I do this manually as everything is a learning process at first!

Yes you should can submit your article to more than one site - I do this a lot.

You can also "spin" the article to make it slightly unique for each submission, such as by using a service like Unique Article Wizard. I don't mean automatic computerised spinners (those rarely make any sense) - but by rewriting it by hand in spin syntax. Some people do this to make their articles more powerful as backlinks, but you'll still get backlinks even if you don't spin them.

Thanks

I think the "Search" tool in this forum still works. OP, please use it as often as you wish because I'm aware that there are some old posts that will give you an answer to this question you've just asked.

You are welcome to the forum.

The only one (I've ever heard of) that doesn't allow it is the one called "Buzzle" (which very few professional article marketers use, for that exact reason: they require "unique content"!).

You can do this with no problem.

This isn't "duplicate content". It's "syndicated content".

Almost all of them, however, (often all but one of them) will go into Google's supplemental index, not the main index. But this doesn't diminish the value of their backlinks. (Of course that's not a "penalty" and it has nothing to do with the site(s) linked to in the articles' resource-boxes anyway).

But in the long run the important thing, before submitting your articles to EZA or anywhere else, is to publish them and get them indexed on your own site first. As explained in great detail in this fine thread, which you'll find enormously helpful.

Thanks

Submit your article to as many article directories as you would like. Then when you're done submitting that article, write another article and repeat the whole process. The more interesting articles you right, the more traffic they are going to bring in.

Overall, this is probably true, but let's not pretend that all the copies syndicated to other article directories are going to bring any traffic from potential customers: they're for backlinks only, after all - they're not (normally) going to be in Google's main index, so keyword-searching customers can't (normally) find them that way, you know?

This thread has little (so far) to do with traffic.

My traffic comes from other sites - including high-PR, context-relevant authority sites - to which other people have syndicated my articles, after finding them at EZA (it's almost always EZA, in practice - and I monitor that closely and know). That leads to the gradual future development of quality backlinks, traffic, opt-ins and sales, and builds residual income for my business as a result of work already done. But depositing multiple copies of my articles in other article directories doesn't help that at all - that's only really for backlinks (which is why I don't do much of it at all).

The real money in article marketing is about sources beyond article directories.

Alexa, how would you blend this with Sean Mize's method of Internet marketing which uses heavily on articles to generate traffic?

Sorry: I can't answer because I don't know anything about Sean Mize's method.

(I use articles to generate traffic myself, too. I'm an article marketer. It's how I make a living.)

The answer is yes you can ... personally I put a single unique version on EZA and then write another version for all other directories.

My first introduction to article marketing was an ebook which said to publish my articles to as many directories as possible to bring in the traffic. As a newbie I went ahead and did just that. I think I reached the lofty heights of 10 visitors a day!
From there I ventured into CPA and ppv etc, and now am returning to articles and blogs. From what Alexa says ( I think I want to be just like her! ), I should publish my great, informative articles on my own blog, then publish it to ezine and others just to get backlinks. The idea obviously to get my page ranking on google, not the article.
There is a ton of other backlinking to do like social bookmarking and web 2 syndicated posts etc.
Am I right in thinking that I should not expect any traffic from article directories, if I do it's a bonus, but if I write good enough content, good quality publishers may republish my article which will get me the good stuff in terms of backlinks?
Just checking if I'm on the right track, as I'm just about to launch my blogging/article career!
- Thanks

Hey, welcome to the forum!

You can post to different article directories like Ezinearticles, Goarticles, Articlebase,Articlesnatch,amazines, articlealley, etc. Buzzle.com wants articles that have not been posted to other article directories (fresh content).

I hope that helps.

Thanks

Here's what I found that seems to work for me.

I create three different variations of my resource box, and then alternate all three with the original article body whn submitting them to my 10 favorite directories.

I do my submissions manually, so this may not work with a submitter; but it only takes me an extra five minutes or so since I only use 10 directories...

Thanks

Welcome to the forum! I asked something akin to this recently and the overall response was that duplicate content is okay, but it's more effective to put slightly different versions of the articles on different directories (whether you spin 'em, rewrite 'em or make slight changes to opening paragraphs, closing paragraphs and titles).

Problem is you took all of the answers in those threads as "fact" - and they seldom are. What happens is you "know" it's not necessary to rewrite but "think" it's better if you do. Truth is, submit your article to your site - and then to EZA - and then to a few other directories and you'll be fine without wasting time rewriting.

The "first and last" paragraph rewrites are a good way to quickly use PLR content but not necessary for your own unique articles unless you just like to do rewrites.

The only rewrites I do are with articles to submit to UAW which requires three versions.

So many people with so many varying answers and I'm sure several different versions of doing things work well enough for each successful marketer. All's I'm trying to do is get a good and effective game plan going. I would like anyone's input on if what I'm getting out of all of this is correct ..... with a few questions.

Is there a proper and effective way for the timing of posting?:
~ I have my website that I place an article/blog on with each different keyword phrase. What should the time frame be between when I post more content on my site? Is it best to spread it out over a week between each new blog post?

~ After each new blog posted on my site, I submit a unique article into Ezine. Can I immediately submit unique articles to other article directories like Buzzle, Hubpages, etc? Or, should I also wait for time to lapse in between each?

Duplicate content:
~ Am I reading this correctly? -- Some of you use the exact same article to post on several different sites? Which sites, other than Buzzle and EzineArticles does not like duplicates?

~ Also, my EZA's seem to index very quickly and move up on the ranks a bit more. Has anyone ever tried to post a handful of unique articles (for one blog's backlinks/traffic) JUST to EzineArticles (not using other article directories) with success?
- Thanks

I agree, I've seen lots of people do that. Buzzle.com contents are required to be very unique and detailed so they will not really allow duplicated content even coming from the same account owner. I consider these as mini-wikipedia sometimes becauase of its detailed contents.
