Why Using the Same Article with Multiple Article Directories is Okay

Interesting post. In fact i was just thinking about this other day and questioning my self as to how will this effect me if the article is not located on my website. I guess i was right, it does not!

Yes! Another one who isn’t afraid of duplicate content.

But if anyone is still unsure, I recommend they spin their article. If done appropriately, this should create enough difference among the copies.

Hi Renee and welcome to the blog. Surely unique content will have a higher rate of indexing but it will also require more time and effort on your part. And it is not necessary to do because you’ll still get both links and visitors for identical articles.

As for the acceptance I have a ton of proof that even the largest of the article directories really don’t care about you submitting the same articles to multiple directories. They’ll still get accepted. The only “issue” I have ever had was that EA didn’t like that I used different pen names for the same article across different directories. Once I changed that the article was instantly accepted.

So yes you can change articles but you don’t need to and even with identical articles you can still have them accepted across most article directories. So anyone trying to tell you something different is lying to you

This is a good explanation.

I think the best way to approach it is to submit your article to the highest page rank directory first, then wait a few days before submitting to others.

As you say, Google may index all of them, but it’s no tragedy if it doesn’t. The more directories your article is at, the more people will read it. And a certain percentage of them will click through to your site.

One submission (or hopefully more) is for SEO. The remainder are just for clicks.

@Ravi, first of all duplicate content will not get you “penalized” but it will merely leave that page out of the search engine index.

The reason (I believe) that the larger sites will still have the context indexed is that they are authority sites. If the site with the article has enough authority is have to be good content (in the SE’s point of view).

You’ll see the same thing when big news websites use articles from Reuters etc.

I can’t give you an explanation that is better because only the search engines know what they’re doing but to be quite honest I don’t really care because all that matters is that one or more articles gets indexed and provides a backlink.

Sorry guy…but for an extra hour or so work with a good spinner you will have loads of backlinks which is the entire point of writing articles in the first place isn’t it..? To take all that time writing a good article and then just send it to a dozen directories unchanged makes no sense at all. You are right though about the fact that duplicate content issues people are always talking about means the content on your own site.

Usually what I do is rewrite one of the paragraphs each time I submit to a different article. Than I take the article I just changed on paragraph on and put that on a new directory and rewrite another paragraph.

I continue on like that rewriting a new paragraph each time, so everything is slightly different. It seems to have panned out well for me.
