One article to multiple article directories?

Discussion in 'Copywriting' started by bogartkick, Sep 21, 2009.

    Hello guys!

    I have submitted one article to Ezine and waiting for its approval. I have no plan to publish my article to my website. If my article was approved and published to Ezine alone, can I still use the same article to submit through multiple article directories? Or do I need to rewrite them multiple times just to submit through multiple article directories?

    I'm just being curious on my own moves so that I won't make mistakes. I need your help guys!

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes. You'll still get backlink value from them, but they won't be listed in SERP's in their own right if they're duplicates. They won't harm the SERP's standing of the original version, though.

    No, you absolutely don't. That's a myth put about by people selling "spinners" and "re-writing services." A lot of people believe that you need to re-write multiple times, and (as so often) a lot of people are wrong.

    It's better to publish it on your own site first, though, and then submit it to EZA. That way "your" copy is the original one rather than EZA's "made-for-adsense" site which can lose you a lot of clicks. Some people still imagine (though it's hard to know where they get their strange beliefs from, when the information's so easily verifiable!) that EZA will only approve and publish "original material". This isn't the case, and it never has been.

    And you don't need to wait for EZA approval before submitting it elsewhere, either.

    I haven't published my article yet to any of my site or blog, but if I do publish it and I try to submit this published article to multiple directories, I would be suspected for duplication or plagiarism?

    Is it advisable to publish this first in my website? Or no need? I'm just making sure before I make my own move.

    Thanks!

    Republications are very popular, and don't worry about posting your work to many places.

    There are several theories, and one of them says, that if you publish it first at your website, it'll reach better SERPs. In this case though, you might have a hard time trom ezine, since they might want to verify whether the articles is really yours.

    I strongly suggest you don't submit the same article to more than 1-2 article directories because google doesn't like duplicate content and, generally, the respective pages are ignored if googlebot find the same instance of a text more than 1-2 times.

    duplicate content only matters when the content appears more than once on your own site. Think about the associated press, those stories appear on thousands of websites.

    Also don't forget that many article sites have their own visitors looking for other stories, so while it may not matter link wise, you are increasing your exposure.

    I wouldn't rewrite articles, but instead write more quality ones.

    Try writing more unique content rather than posting the same article to verious directories.

    I do article submission monthy that is once in a month.
    I do article submision in around 150 directory per month?
    Is this enough or should I increase the number of directories?
    Is it fine that one same article is posted in all the 150 directories?
    will it count as spam or duplicate content?

    About your concern about plagiarism -- as long as you republish your own article under your own name, you'll be fine. You're the author and can do what you want with it.

    Plagiarism is when people publish someone else's content. That wouldnt be the case here.

    Just be careful if you use pen names -- you need to republish each article under the same name and then you're okay.

    About publishing to 150 directories... I'd focus on higher quality ones, but then I'm a bit of a snob...

    What about this? Do I need to publish this on my site first? Then submit it to Ezine so that I am the owner of this article? Or I will submit them to Ezine first which my name is included?

    if you submit to your site first and eventually get indexed, i dont think EA will accept it since it is considered as duplicate content.

    Please correct me if i am wrong.

    Sorry, Simon: you're wrong. :)

    Every single article I have on EZA has originally been published in identical form on one of my own sites, and indexed, before being submitted to EZA. The same is true for many (not quite all) of the articles I've written for clients, too.

    EZA don't care a fig about "duplicate content". They care who has the rights to it, that's all. It's true that if you publish it yourself first under one name and then want to submit it to EZA under a different name, they'll initially reject it in the (not unreasonable) belief that it may be plagiarised and you don't have the rights to it, but if you're using the same name as the name in which it was originally published, then there's no problem.

    It can be on one of your own sites/blogs; it can be in other article directories; it can be anywhere you like. If it complies with EZA editorial guidelines, they'll accept it.

    I don't know where this widespread belief that EZA "will accept only original material" arose from, but I can assure you that it's never been true and it still isn't. ;)

    You don't need to publish it anywhere else first.

    But if you have a site/blog of your own on which you can publish it, why give EZA "first rights" and let their "Adsense-festspielhaus" have your prime link-juice? Whose site do you want to build up most: yours or theirs? :eek:

    Once your article gets approved in Ezine, then you can reprint it...or you can take just make some variations of it and can use elsewhere...

    SEO and organic traffic is highly overrated, but I'll answer your question too anyway.

    As you may already know, search engines spider sites every night.

    Let's say that Google has spidered an Ezine page that your article is on. Once that is done, it is now in the directory. You are then safe to publish it elsewhere. That same article published elsewhere afterwards will be discounted as dupilcate content.

    But, hey, who cares? The more who read your articles, the more who go to your site.

    You can get a hell of a lot more readers than Google can ever provide for you. That is, IF you are even lucky enough to land high enough to be even seen.

    Just because you do the seo does not mean you will land high.

    I want to build mine, because I need lots of traffic than them. So that means I'll publish it on my blog first, and submit it to EZA the same article without spinning or re-write my original one?

    Thanks!:D

    My strategy is to write one big old article, and chop it up and break it down into a few smaller articles (3-4). From there, I post the long version on my site, and then publish the 4 shorter articles on ezine.

    Once they go live on ezine, I spread them elsewhere, and keep track of where I post what, and how much traffic I receive. I scrub the sites that send little traffic and post more on sites that have a return.

    You will want to publish it to your own site first. This is because it's the "original content" that ranks the highest in the SERPs. As far as rewriting for multiple directories is concerned, it is not necessary; many will still accept it. However, to my understanding, you will receive a greater SEO benefit if you have backlinks coming in from unique content rather than duplicate content.

    There is no need to worry for posting your articles on various directories.

    I have written many articles on cheap tattoo kits that I have submitted to multiple directories. Currently, I am thinking about doing this with LED light bars articles. Multiple submission saves time and also brings a lot of visitors and also creates links.

    This is absolutely correct. EZA is currently asking writers to 'repurpose your content' which means taking old blog posts and articles published elsewhere and submit it to EZA. They benefit from maintaining the image of an elite publisher with high standards of original content, but what they really want is something to grab as many eyes as they can, so they can drag those eyes across their adsense minefield. Being picky about duplicate content would be shooting their own cash cow.
