Can I submit same article in different article directories?

15 years ago

You can post the same articles to other directories. No problem at all. However, you should post the article first on your own site to portray that you are having original content and then once it is indexed by google, then you can post to other article directories.

That is all other IMers do.

Normally people have two opinions of article marketing.

1) To get a backlink to their site using a definite anchor link text to get a top ranking in search engines.
2) To get exposure of the services or products they are offering.

Yes. Most article directories will accept the same article. Buzzle will not and there are a couple others that won't, but most of them will.

The article directories accept duplicate contents if you are the author of the post.

Just a quick reminder, don't forget that having different titles give you more exposure.

Why not spin the articles you create so you won't get the your site penalized by Big G.
I think having a duplicate content is just a way of "cannot be bothered" rewriting the article.

How about "because you won't get your site penalized by big G if you use syndicated content anyway"?

Why else would so many of us here be doing our article marketing that way for rather a successful living?

Have you ever noticed how all those news sites that carry identical (unspun) stories from Reuters and Associated Press are all regarded as "authority sites" by big G and clearly never "penalized" at all?

You think that because you've confused "duplicate content" with "syndicated content", Rob.

What you're referring to here as "duplicate content" actually isn't duplicate content at all, in Google's eyes.

You can, of course, define it however you like for yourself, but it makes conversation pretty difficult because you're poles apart from Google's description of it, which is the one that actually matters to all of us article marketers.

The enormous difference between the two is pretty clearly explained and summarised in this fine thread, if you're open to changing your mind.

With the sole exception of a site called "Buzzle", the answer is "yes".

And it's what many of the experienced, successful, professional article marketers here are doing. And they all have almost exactly the same reasons for doing so, as they explain with great unity and clarity in all the incidental chat in this thread, which will also probably answer many other questions you have about "article marketing".

You mean "news sites"? News sites are sites that are hand-approved by Google and Google uses a totally different algo for news than for their "regular" SERPs, one that does much less dupe content filtering.

And we've been through this before, I've never heard of a "syndicated content filter", but I have heard of a "duplicate content filter", which is applied by Google to similiar pages on DIFFERENT domains in the "regular" SERPs, and not so much in the news related SERPs.

To claim Google uses a "duplicate content filter" is contradictory to also claim that Google doesn't consider similar content on different sites as "syndicated" and not "duplicate". Syndicated content is duplicate content and is treated as such by Google.

Just a quick question before this thread rightfully dies.

After I write an article, I submit it to Ezine. I NEVER use that content on my websites. After approval, I submit the exact same article to other directories such as gather, articledashboard etc... I typically submit to 15 of them, a mix of mostly follow but some no follow as well.

My question is...because the content is the same, we'll Google still pass some juice with the links in my articles (other than EZine)? Or am I completely wasting my time submitting to more than Ezine?

I do not spin them. They remain the same altough I do change the title and maybe a few lines here and there.

Thanks from blistering hot Ohio.

Interesting, then why is my article (written entirely by me, no spinning) that appeared on MY website first is now indexed no less than 4,000 times in Google? The results are identical for the article and my author name and only differ in the site url. Syndication is the process by which identical material is made available to multiple points of media (websites, etc.).

Alexa, I do wish you wouldn't weigh in on every thread on this subject with your dangerous heretical ideas. EVERYBODY in this business knows that every piece of content published ANYWHERE on the Internet must be thrice-spun by an Eastern mystic by the light of the full Bombay moon, lest the publisher be consigned to Google Panda Hades.

Whatever your motives for propagating this dangerous counsel, why disabuse people of their dearly-held beliefs?

We just submitted a press release to several directories the other day. Our original page hot higher rankings than the duplicates, but several other submissions did get indexed also. This implies that more than one posting is ok, and that we did not get penalized for distributing our news.

We do it for clients all the time with no complaints, the primary purpose being to spread the news as widely as possible, and the secondary purpose being SEO linking benefits.

Hope this helps.

You can submit the same article to various directories.

Many individuals like to 'spin' articles and offer a variety of versions of the same article (...because some directories won't allow same article submissions), but there are plenty that will.

Hope that helps.

Depends on what form of article marketing you are engaging in and where you plan on posting your content:

Article Directory Marketing - No issues with the same article being posted elsewhere but I don't like doing it myself for personal reasons (not due to fear of duplicate content penalty).

Article Syndication Marketing - Some sites require exclusive content, some don't depends on who you are in a syndicated partnership with. I'm not talking about submitting an article to EZA and then someone syndicating it. I'm referring to the more direct approach where you are submitting content to specific sites where you have entered into a syndication agreement with the webmaster.

Article Guest Blogging - Again, some blog owners require original content with exclusive rights while others are not so demanding.

Just make sure you know your publication target prior to article submission and you will be fine.

Respectfully,
Tim

I would suggest submitting your orginal article to Ezine first since they are the best directory out there. You can then spin the article with different titles or even content before submitting those to the other directories.

Yes, you really ca submit 1 article to many article directory sites like go articles, amazines, article factory, articleclick, easy article and many more....Most don't require the articles to be unique to them, as long as you submit under the same pen name in each one. But you'll need to check each directory's rules to be sure before you post.

Typically, I don't publish it on my sites. I figured even if it first appeared on my site, if it was splashed all over different article directories, it would slightly lessen the value of my website in Google's eyes.

I social bookmark my website content, but never publish the content in article directories. Maybe I'm being too cautious.

I have a question to ask.Suppose I have submitted a article in "ezin". Can I submit the same article in different article directories or I need different articles. please help me.

back to the OP, I think the answer to your question is simply to read the editorial guidelines that each directory publishes. For example, I believe EZA's biggest thing they emphasize is that the work be original and rightfully yours.

So I believe the practical interpretation is that if there are duplicates out there for which you (same name) are the author, that's considered syndication, and that's fine. But if there are other same or similar copies out there, already indexed, under different names, then that is either not original (e.g. PLR that everyone uses) and/or not your own own work.

One of the reasons people post first to their own blog is to establish in cyberspace that the first instance of that article was, in fact, under your name, and second, to boost the authority of the blog with regards to this content, rather than adding to the authority of the directory as the first poster.

Take the opinion you like, and TEST IT! It's not difficult. Then do it the other way next time, and compare the results, according to your own success criteria. Google doesn't give you the answer, and they don't give the other warriors the answer either, so either their advice comes from recent testing, or it's just rhetoric.

And the answer is YES you can. I get my articles republished on my sites, Ezine and a hundred other sites all the time. So if by "can I" you mean, "is it possible?" the answer is, YES.

People usually spin articles so they can have multiple listings - hence more backlinks/greater link juice.

That is a false assumption in my opinion.

You can achieve the same number of backlinks/link juice mass submitting unspun articles.

If a page you link (is crawled by google) but not indexed (because it's syndicated content) google will still pass page rank.

According to Matt Cutts, "A NoIndex page can accumulate PageRank, because the links are still followed outwards from a NoIndex page".
