Once article posted on Ezine Articles do you need to rewrite to post to GoArticles and others?

Aslong as your article is your own then you should be fine in regards to duplicate content.

You can post it on the article directories you mentioned, but you should really read the terms and conditions of each directory before posting.

Is it worth rewriting for these other directories?

In my opinion, no. Opinions on article marketing are very varied here on the forum though, so I'm sure there will be plenty who disagree!

I make sure that I post the article on my blog first and foremost and then on to ezine articles. Once they've ok'd it, I submit to other directories.

I don't change the article body itself but I do vary the title of each submission (taking care to include the relevant keywords).

I haven't had a problem

Beverley is right. Posted on your website and then syndicate...

There is no reason to have problems. This is not duplicate content. Duplicate content is something else.

Indeed, there are some article directories that will reject your article because was submitted before on other websites, but most of them will not reject your article because they have no reason to do that.

Thanks

There's only one, actually, Michael (and that's "Buzzle" which allows no external links anyway, so it isn't relevant to this conversation).

It doesn't concern article directories whether or where an article has been previously published (under the same name/pen-name, of course!).

There's absolutely no reason to "wait", after submitting an article to EZA, before submitting it anywhere else (under the same name/pen-name, of course!).

After publishing articles on your own site and having them indexed there, there's no reason not to submit them to any/all article directories you wish (apart from "Buzzle", which one wouldn't want to use anyway).

Hey, I appreciate your post. I have been totally confused about this for a long time. So if you write one article and submit it to multiple directories, is there a need to make any changes to it for each directory?

Thanks

No, not at all. As long as you use the same name/pen-name on all the copies (otherwise they'll think you've stolen it).

Article directories don't require previously unpublished content.

If you submit the exact same article to many directories, most of the copies will be indexed in Google's supplemental index, rather than in the main index, but that doesn't make the backlink worth any less. (It doesn't make it worth any more, either ... and article directory backlinks aren't good ones to start with).

What matters, though, is to publish your articles on your own site first, and have them indexed there, before you submit them anywhere else at all, for all the reasons explained in such detail by so many successful article marketers in this thread.

There isn't a "duplicate content issue", Jaymark. This isn't "duplicate content". It's "syndicated content".

Until it's been indexed.

You can tell when it's been indexed simply by pasting a ten-word chunk of it into Google between "inverted commas": if it shows up, then it's been indexed.

How regularly/quickly your site's new content gets indexed depends on how frequently you update. It's slower for new sites. Once you post regularly, and the search engines have learned that, it'll normally be indexed within 48 hours - maybe less.

so if it shows up on search site:url I believed that is considered as being indexed too. I got prolly a batch of 50 articles I can submit. Maybe not in one day but in a span of 7 to 10 days.

is that something the article directories like ezine articles, go articles and article base will allow.

I don't think the others will be a problem but at Ezine Articles, unless you're already a Platinum member, they'll allow you to submit only 10, to start with.

You can submit those all at once, but then they won't let you submit any more until they've "assessed" you for a possible upgrade to Platinum, which you'll get if none of your first 10 articles has been declined.

If they do upgrade you to Platinum, you can then submit as many as you like, without any more restrictions. If they don't, then you'll be "Basic Plus" and back to submitting only 10 again. (So submit the best 10 first and make sure they comply with the Editorial Guidelines - it would be a real inconvenience to get one rejected!).

Note for anyone reading this slightly older thread for the first time: the comments above about "Buzzle" are now out of date. It's no longer an article directory and it allows no external links at all (not even in a "resource box"). Predictably, its bizarre and ridiculous policy of not accepting any content previously published elsewhere gave it no protection at all from Google's "Panda updates", by which it was so thoroughly hammered that it decided to change its entire business model. :rolleyes: :p

No need for rewriting the article if you make it originally. But if you only copied it rewrite it, then you have to rewrite it again to re-post it to other article submission site.

I don't think the other article directories check to see if the article has been uploaded to an article directory already. However, I use an article submission service that allows me to generate as many variants of the article that I want by providing several article titles, first paragraphs, alternative words, author resouce content etc. which it then uses at random.

I then post to Ezinearticles myself manually and use the service to post to a hugh list of other article directories including the ones you mention.

I find this works well.

you don't need to re-write your articles when posting to different article directories...
most directories accept your articles even if they're exactly the same as what you submitted to other directories... There are some that won't accept duplicate content and they're not worth going after IMHO... why should you give them unique content for just 1 or 2 links and their syndication would be nowhere near as good as EZA or GoArticles both of which accept dupe content. If you're going to write unique content that's on only one web property, that property should be yours...

The repeated article, which is the question, on the submitter is not rejected and readers can still give you clicks to your site so you can't lose.
This leaves the question do you submit articles solely for ranking or also for traffic directly from your article. A plugin can attract an article for traffic. The mind boggles.

So Hubpages for one does check for duplicate copy.

If you attempt to post an article to an article directory that they don't like - they'll let you know and tell you why.

- They won't knock on your door in the middle of the night and drag you away never to be seen again.

- They won't send a memo to Google and have your site banned for all time.

- They won't refuse to consider any of your articles ever again.

If you do something wrong - and that means something they don't want you to do - then they'll let you know.

(For the record, your don't need to rewrite to post to GoArticles and others)

It depends on where else you're posting it, but most sites will take articles that have been posted on EZA. Buzzle doesn't, and a few web 2.0 sites don't either. Just look at their terms.

In my opinion this can really be looked at from two different angles. The entire concept behind Article Marketing is twofold. 1) You want to attract targeted readers to your site from the articles. 2) You want quality one-way backlinks to your site from the directories and site you post them to.

So here is the question, what does Google think of seeing the same title and content posted all over the internet? Will they rank it well? They might but chances are some of the links will not be counted or carry the same weight as they would if the content appeared to be different. So I don't think it is required, but it might be beneficial to tweak the content a bit and definitely use multiple title relevant to your site content and theme.

Well that is just my opinion I am sure others will weigh in also I hope this helps!
Happy Writing!

I want to clear you the doubt that duplicate content doesn't mean that you are submitting same content on two different sites. Duplicate content actually is that if you are submitting the same content on a same site more then one time.

So if you are going to submitting the same content on other site then it will not too much harmful for you.... But i am suggesting you that if you submit that article after spinning the content (in a readable form), then it will be useful for you. Even you can spin single article for 10 times and can submit it to 10 differ sites. Its not count as a spam one.

It will be no more "useful for you" than if you don't spin it at all.
