I heard that submitting same articles to many article directories will give a negative value to SEO, as google is looking for duplicate content and the backlinks from it are not useful. Can somebody clear about this? I have planned to submit 1 article to 30-35 sites, Same content, will it give me more backlinks and traffic OR will it be useless OR will it give any negative in SEO?
im also doing this. im submitting my same article to many article directories. i dont think it as a wrong thing
its definately fine mate...i have been doing it for some years now. Never found any difficulty. Its very helpful in way of building strong backlinks.
There won't be any problem submitting same articles to even tens of directories because they would be crawled by the search engines including Google and although they may look like duplicates, the portals simply discount the links but they can be great for traffic.
It could be found by search engines like duplicated content, it will not rank good. But, I think this doesn't makes you lose the backlinks, even if the articles will not rank in the search results. A good idea can be to make so simple changes in the text to make the same article, a little different for each article directory.
submitting same article to multiple article marketing sites is absolutely fine but instead of going for any 30-35 sites, i wold prefer to chose best 15-20 sites and submit my article to them.
First of all, Google does not penalize for duplicate content. It just does its best to ignore duplicate copies of the same article. In other words, the article that comes up in search results is what Google thinks is the original. The other copies will be ignored. That is according the Google's own official blog. The value of submitting the same article to multiple directories is you get backlinks on these sites and the possibility of drawing in more traffic. based on experience though, only Ezinearticles has sent me traffic that converts to cash
Posting Articles in so many articles sites. Its not harm but it not useful too. If u post your articles specific sites then it useful. Do work Quality not quantity. There are around 15-20 articles sites which are useful to you.
There is nothing wrong in submitting the same article to different article directories but before submission, make sure that the concerned article is indexed from your site by the google.
in 1 article site u cant put same content again and again, but for diff. article site, this aritcle would be first time.
Is there anyone who does not agree with doing this? I've avoided this process until now because I think its gona devalue your initial content...
If you submit an article to 1 directory only, it can be stollen by your competitors and distributed among numerous directories, that's why my advice is to submit an article to as many directories as it is possible.
The only thing you need to be concerned about is if you are going to submit to EzineArticles. They will not accept yours if it has been published already somewhere else. So, you can submit to them first, then to the others after it is accepted.
nope! it does not devalue your initial content. Choose like 20 best article directories. I suggest submitting your articles to Ezinearticles first, give it a few weeks then submit the same articles to different article sites for traffic.
