Same Article to Your Own Blog and Directories - Can you outrank?

So here's my question. This isn't about duplicate content. Google has told us that as long as it's not duped on your own domain, you are fine. I've proven this by submitting my own article to my blog first, and then six months later when I found out about article marketing, I submitted the very same article to 10 directories.

The thing is, I used the resource box to link to the main site and then to a similar article. So that boosted the similar article in the serps, but I don't have any data about the article I submitted around.

My question is, if you use the same article on your blog first then on several other directories, can you outrank those directories with your own blog? Or will they forever outrank your own blog? If you can defeat the directories, how difficult is that, considering it's a low competition phrase?

    Of course, you can defeat the directory with your blog. However, but you need a lot of work and effort.

    Another thing, most of the article you submit on the directories can only remain on top of the SERP if you continue to build back links. Most article marketers don't have that time i guess since it is only going to be beneficial to the article directory most. They prefer to build their own site. As a result of this, you can beat the directory.

      I agree with johnben1444, but it also depends on the article directory as some with very high page rank are harder do outrank. I would recommend changing the titles of the articles every time you submit them somewhere new using slightly different but still relevant keywords so the articles would show up under different keywords.
