Question about article marketing and duplicate content?

I am not that clear about google and duplicate content. If I want to submit an article can I submit the same article to many different submission sites or is that considered duplicate content? I know not to put the article that I am submitting on my site however there seems to be disagreement about submitting the same article to multiple submission sites. Some say that I would need to change the article somehow for each site that I submit it to. while other say submit the same article to 100's of sites.
I have recently purchased 9000 article in my niche and am ready to launch a full fledged article submission campaing spanning the next 4- 5 months my goal is to get a page rank of 5. I want to do this the right way though and not get penalized for spam or duplicate content.
Does anyone know how I should go about with my submissions. You help is much appreciated

    Wow 9000? That's a lot of articles. I'm with you, having heard both sides. In all honesty if you have 9000 articles I would submit them to eZine primarily because they have the highest PR. I've heard most people go for rewrites of articles to submit, usually changing +/- 30% of the article.

    As with anything, why not try testing? If you have that amount of articles, trysubmitting 100 to multiple article directories and 100 to eZine or whichever you choose. Monitor the results and promote the article equally. Search how they're ranking in Google and note accordingly. It will take some time and effort, however considering the amount of investment in the articles alone, I believe this would be worth the time.

    Best,

      Yeah 9000 is a lot however a good portion of them are useless crap but I have more than I need to run a successful campaign. What I want to do is submit them to possibly thousands of sites so that I have links coming in from many different IP address. I am going to put a lot of them on high PR page such as Ezine. One thing that I noticed is that the actual page that you article is one is a PR0. I believe this is because Google ranks individual web pages not the whole site so while Ezine may have a PR6 the backlink from the page my article is on has a PR0.

      My stratagy for this is going to be promote the Ezine page. It already has a PR6 link from one of Ezine's main pages so that is an extremly auspicious start. I am going to socially bookmark and do article marketing for the ezine page that my article is on as well as my actual web page.

      I am outsourcing for the social bookmarking campaign but doing the article marketing myself. It would make my life really easy if I could just use software that will submit the articles for me since I am also going to do article marketing for my article pages as well as other social profile page i.e. squidoo, facebook. The idea is to expand my funnel further and further into the depths of the internet as well as create high PR backlinks (if it works).

      Do you or anyone know any good tracking software that I could use for this. I am shying away from google analytics on this page it is already bogged down from the OpenX server and in this niche there is a good posibiliy that a lot of my visitor will be on slower older computers.

      Also I think that is a good idea to test and see what works befor I jump into this full force. However I'm not really sure how to do this as I am getting traffic for all kinds of long tail keywords. I have no idea where I am in the SERP's for my targeted keyword. This is my first attempt at a very highly competive market. That is the reason I am putting so much effort into getting these links and a high page rank.

      Thanks for the info I was not aware of the difference. I am glad that I follow best practices for coding though and all my links internal and external even to images use full URL path and that is always the same. I believe this will not be a problem for me. For my pages that are Wordpress and Joomla since they create the internal links them self do they follow this practice. I guess I should go take a look and make sure that the full path URL's that I am using in my anchore text for backlinks are that same as the ones generated by Wordpress and Joomla.

      Thanks again.

    Good, make sure to use "breadcrumbs" on your site and be sure to noindex your category, index and tag links to further prevent duplicate content.

    I believe you can submit them to any directories multiple times but avoid posting the same articles into your website...

      You bought those articles? I'm assuming somebody else own the same set of articles as well? If so, you may not be able to submit to Einearticles. They are very strict with duplicate content.

      You can submit the articles to the majority of the article directories though. 9000 articles will take you a LONG LONG time to submit. I suggest using some software or service to help you with the distribution.

      As long as you are submitting articles with decent quality, there is no need to worry about dup content. Don't try to spin the articles and make them into illegible articles. That will make things worse.

    You can get the optimum result only if you can modify your articles so that they look unique to the search engine .

    So , before you submit your PLR article , it is better to spin them so as to get the most for link building campaing .

      Wow! A 9000 article submission campaign spanning the next 4-5 months. Did you say 'spanning' or 'spamming' LOL

      You definitely want to use some sort of article submission service to maximise your effort.

      The one I use takes each article and submits a unique, human-readable version to hundreds of different directories to maximise the number of backlinks that 'stick' and appear in Google.

      The great thing is you can also drip-feed the submissions, and you have no limit to how many articles you can submit.

      Definitely find an article submission service that works for you, and you'll be laughing. Good luck...sounds like an ultra-competitive market you're entering!

        what software do you use? I will definitely use software for this. There's no way I could submit all those manually. I have not explored any spinning software yet. I hear good and bad about it but you say what you use makes legible articles. what I have been doing is rewriting the articles or combining parts of two or three related articles to make them somewhat unique.
        I have used a couple submition programs that I am not happy with It is very important that I find a good one a stick with it. The goal of this exercise is to get the page to a PR5 but more importantly to have a working system so I can create a process map and outsource this whole process in the future. That being the case people will have to be taught how to use the software which will be an integral part of the process map.

    You should concentrate on rewriting the best-keyword articles because it sounds like you bought article package that someone else bought.
