Articles and Duplicate content.

Can someome please answer a simple question:

If I write an article with say 2 key phrases inside which link to my website and then put that article on say 20 Article sites will google think its duplicate content?
I ask this because I wrote an article which I submitted to a high ranking blogg, which I would imagine did wonders for my SEO, however about 2 weeks later other websites had nicked it from this high ranking blog to post on their own blogg. They kept my links but would the power from the original blogg be lost because the article had been duplicated on a few other sites. If so should I be only putting an article on 1 article site only?

Thanks

    You can put your article on as many different sites as you want and it would not be considered duplicate content.

    Duplicate content is when the same article is on the same site more than once.

      I wouldn't link to the original article. I can't imagine too many people who would want to read the same information as they just read. Link to a different, but related, article or link to the home page - not the same one.

      You do not have to spin the article unless you want to. And unless you're just going for backlinks, I wouldn't submit to more than the top 5-10 directories. You won't get much traffic, if any, from the rest.

    I agree. Spinning the original article to create a number of unique articles to be submitted to other article directories will work well. but be sure that you use the original article to your website to maximize its results.

    The good thing is, if google finds duplicate content on other sites, they won't take your site down for it... Hopefully
