Article submission: Should I rewrite my site's articles before submitting to article directories?

Send it to Ezine first, then just shoot it to everyone else.

Always keep your site's articles unique. So yes rewriting or submitting different articles to directories is the best way to go.

Hi Damen,
It is not a demand that you re-write but it is suggested by many. Change the title, summary and such.. You do not need to do a massive re-write but changing it some is a good thing..

Absolutely, you have to rewrite them. Ezinearticles will check your articles and if they are not original they will not approve them. Unique articles are way to go if you want to be successful with article marketing.

Please refer to http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...-ploy-not.html

Submit first to ezinearticles, then after approval tweek it a little-the tittle, first and last paragraphs and submit to other directories. 3-5 minutes to tweek an article.

Hi

Article submissions are my main line of work for most clients and I would just like to add my feedback based on experience. I have written about Article Directories and Dispelling the Myth on other webmaster forums so I will not get into too much of detail here.

But here are a few points that are worth mentioning.

Yes, your submission to a directory should be a unique article. Once that article is indexed by Google, you will receive PR juice for that backlink on that article directory.

You can then resubmit that same article to other directories. This is called cross posting or cross submission. You will NOT get PR juice for the cross posted article.

Many will tell you that the backlink is now credited to their website and yes, it may show up when they are verifying their domain links. But a cross post will not give you PR.

Here is what I do for clients and I would reccommend you do the same. I have seen it work time and time again.

Write 20 unique articles on a topic. Post each unique article to a different directory. Wait for a few days for Google to index it. The start cross posting. Ultimately from your 20 unique articles, you will get 400 article submissions (cross posting + unique).

Remember that the first 20 unique posts will bring you the PR juice. The 380 cross posted submissions will not bring your PR but it is handy for traffic and awareness of your website or product.

Editing your author resource or bio box at the bottom can be useful BUT unless the number of words in you author resource/bio box exceeds about 30% of the total word count of that article, it will not be sufficient to make Google 'clock' the article as unique.

I hope this information proves useful.

I think it depends on your luck...you get a stickler for details checking your article and you're done. I had my article rejected because some sentences were similar.

The discussion is going well.....its great to hear from the top notch webmasters......technical part has been cleared, but I just want to tell about the purposes.

When you submit the articles in your own site......they have a different purpose and tone.......suppose you are selling a weight loss product, your site's contents must have a sales tone.

But when you are submitting articles to the directories........the tone should be different......not the sales tone actually.......so the articles should be different.

So it is always better to rewrite you site's content..........than using them again.

Hope I am cleared.

I've been holding 4 spots on the first page of Google for quite some time now for a certain keyterm.

All 4 spots are the exact same article - just hosted on different IPs (Different directories). Moreover, they have had "PR Juice" passed along to them as well.

Stay away from article submission software! Yikes! cause they distort your article, put it their own links! Get real people who can submit your articles. It is a better option for you!

It is advisable to keep your website content very unique and original. Never submit the exact article to any article directory. Before submitting you can surely edit the article as you are doing right now.

But if your concern is in how many directories you can submit your same article. The answer would be, if you wrote the article, it's yours, and you can do anything you'd like with it. You can post it to 100 sites if you want to. The trouble is, all of those sites will be publishing duplicate content, and this is pretty worthless to search engines, so all but 1 of those 100 articles will be filtered out of the search indexes. You won't get any more benefit for the other 99 submissions than you will for the 1, in terms of link popularity.

Its a good idear to rewrite, it will prevent people from stealing your ideas of your article, but always submit your article to enzine articles as this is one of the top article site, I always use it, then you can go on submitting to many more article site but try to pick top quality article sites so your article can get more noticed and better ranking in google.

i would just change the title and sumary if the rest is of good quality

I think you have to modify the articles because someone else might have submitted something similar to yours as a result your articles might be rejected.
