    Depends on what you mean with charged duplicate content.

    Will ezinearticles article outrank yours article on Google? Probably but depends on your site.

      This has nothing to do with "duplicate content."

        I answered his question that he had or was going to get at asking if you read in between the lines.

        As for the definition of duplicate content, it depends on who you ask.

          YouTube - SMX Seattle: Matt Cutts on Duplicate Content and Paid Search
          It really doesn't matter who you ask. Do you go to different websites? Of course you do. Have you seen the same article or lets say news feed on different sites? Of course.

          Duplicate content has nothing to do with the same article on different sites. It is all about the exact same content on the SAME site. Go look up the definition of "duplicate content."

          Also, look up past threads in the WF about this subject in the search tool.

            Like I said. It depends on who you ask.

            Duplicate content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

            Does that not describe having the exact same content on multiple websites?

            I understand the difference between duplicate content and syndication and followed the arguments for a long time. The point is there are a bunch of different definitions and no one can really say what is right or wrong.

            The way the thread was written he wanted to know if posting the exact same content on an article directory would give a duplicate content penalty. Well a penalty doesn't exist, but having the exact same content on 2 different website is duplicate content by some definitions. So to answer the 2nd part of his question which I already did is that the search engine will pick the one they like the most and rank that higher. This case probably being the article directory.

              If you'll excuse the observation, I'm interested in Google's opinion, not Wiki's.

              The position is exactly as Richard describes in post #8 above.

              And in this longer, highly informative thread you'll see a large number of successful, experienced article marketers explaining in detail their reasons for always publishing their articles elsewhere before submitting them to EZA. Rarely, if ever, has such an impressive array of talent on the "article marketing" front posted here, all together in the same thread, giving the same explanations.

              I have about 1,000 articles on EZA, all of which were originally published and indexed in identical form on my own sites first.

                Wow this went off topic fast!

                Googles opinion is the same as wiki and the matt cutts video I posted. Duplicate content is between 2 web pages, being on the same site or not.

                Most of this has nothing to do with the original question though. I figure the question has been answered so I will leave this thread at that.

                The answer is still "no" because there is no such thing as a duplicate content PENALTY.

                  On the contrary: it's a simple, direct answer to the original question, which was "Can I submit the Same article I wrote on my blog to say ezine and not be charged with duplicate content?" The link is to a thread in which a large numbers of successul article marketers explain (inter alia) that the answer is "yes: you can", and that this is indeed exactly what they routinely do, themselves. Difficult to get much more "on-topic" than that.

                    I wrote the answer wrong on last post because this thread is jumping all over the place.

                    The answer is yes, i agree. I never argued that you shouldn't submit to both.

                    I only said duplicate content is not defined only as on the same website and there is no such thing as a duplicate content penalty.

          Not meaning to start an arguement here but the question was...

          Can I submit the Same article I wrote on my blog to say
          ezine and not be charged with duplicate content
          I'm assuming the OP means can I publish my own article to my site/blog then put it on EZA. My answer is once it's been indexed on your site/blog - Yes.

          That can't be duplicate content. If it was, how on earth would anyone be allowed to go to EZA and use my article on their site and that's then called syndicated content?

          How can what the OP does be duplicated content but when someone uses that article from EZA its called syndicated content?

          Only Buzzle, as far as I know requires specific unique content on there sites.

          Duplicate content is the same stuff on the same site. Syndicated content is the same article on different sites. The former is punishable, the latter is how many successful article marketers have made money for years.

    Duplicate content is when you have the same content on the same site. So if you put two articles that are written exactly the same on the same website, you would get dinged for duplicate content.

    Placing the exact same article on Ezinearticles and your site is NOT duplicate content. So yes you can do that.

    Ezine is a great website, I think you should just write your own new article. that's just my opinion anyways...

    I think I would keep the original article on your blog and create a new article that is targeted for the same keywords for ezine. That's my opinion though.

      It is indeed. Please excuse the observation that it's not mine: with time to write another article, too, I would also perhaps create a new article for the same keywords, but I'd publish both of them first on my own site, have them indexed there and then submit both of them, unchanged, to EZA. I'd get get twice the coverage of the suggestion above, with the same time/effort.

        I think it's best Alexa to let some people do what they want with scant regard for what they're perfectly allowed to do, whilst others can be article marketing smart, understand fact from opinion and as such become successful.

        Reading this makes me realise why only a small percentage of article marketers, such as you, actually make any decent/very good sort of income from it.

          About 2 months ago, when I became a little more active here, I began to see and "appreciate" how big and widespread the problem of this misinformation and nonsensical practise was. But my efforts to try "clear up the facts" waned rather quickly - at about the same rate as my patience - as I realised no-one really seems to pay attention or question anything they do, anyway. Once they've chosen to do something a certain way, hell will freeze over before they second-guess themselves and adjust their mindset and their procedures.

          For some, complacency and ignorance truly are bliss?

            It's bliss for us as well chap!

            It drives me nuts sometimes but I'm quick to realise it's actually an enormous advantage to me, you and everyone else who thinks as we do.
