An SEO question about article writing

I am not sure about whether the article directories accept duplicate posts

I think you should spin them first with The Best Spinner, Spinner Chief or the SEO Article Generator 2.0., and convert it into various articles. After that, you can submit them to various article directories as unique content. Spun content will be only worth for backlinks and traffic, but not for search engine traffic.

Unique content is always the best for SEO.

another way is changing the first paragraph and submitting it to the article directories with a link to your blog site

Spinning isn't necessary on bulk distributed articles.. Spending time spinning them isn't very useful since you are putting them on sites that have thousands of articles that are the same as the thousands of articles on all the other article sites.. Blast and forget..

Unfortunately this has turned most article sites in to little better than directory sites..

Google consider it as duplicate content however you can use same article in different directories after spin this article.

Obviously it is considered a duplicate content, you better consider rewriting them and make it unique then submit to directories.

dont use TBS or spinner chief to spin articles for article directories. They wont read well and get denied if there is no auto approve.

Spin them manually or just rewrite them.

I am totally agree with danlew, i think you should spin article once before submit it to article directories. There are several online tools available which help you to spin one article to 50 different types of articles.

I had noticed many threads on this topic,

Yes, you do not have to worry, you can publish same article on many directories.

Many Internet Marketers post articles on their blogs and then submit the exact same article to article directories thereafter.

I have done this many, many times.

It works pretty well.

Just make sure whatever you submit reads well and can stand on its own two feet.

Don't think in terms of SEO, think in terms of branding and you will do well.

Well, Google has made latest panda update to reduce spammy content. So its better not to use exact same article to build backlinks

It is possible to submit your articles to as many directories as you like but what exactly do you expect to achieve by doing this? Even if all of directories attempt to publish your contents on their pages, after a while you may find a lot of previously indexed pages gone online because if you study some tips which relate to the latest Google updates, you will notice that duplicate contents, may temporarily get indexed and crawled by Google but they may disappear very fast.

If you plan on promoting your website through articles to be written and submitted to directories, attempt to spend the time and prepare some valuable contents and then submit them only to a few directories and not adding them to tens of sites. Then commence writing newer ones and repeat this cycle. Even the ideal way would be writing one article and then submitting it to just one site and then preparing other contents and submitting them to other sites to avoid duplicate issue.

There are two methods:

1- Republishing the articles of other authors from one article directory to an other. For doing so one should use the same Resource Box/Author Signature. Only this method is legal.

2- The other one is submitting ones own one article to many article directories. That is also legal. It does not fall in the category of Duplicate Content. It is also preferable to use the link of the very first article directory that you have submitted that article first.
