experts, should submit a copy of the original article that i published on my website to article directories or should i write new article for syndication purpose or even write a unique article for each article directory(which is really frustrating)
every time you submit article, might be on your blog or on article directory you have to prepare unique article copy. You can submit the same article on different directory as it is a spam factor. Well you can simply modify your main article so that SE spider do not think that it is duplicate content.
ok but if i offered unique contents for syndication they will rank over me, so even if i am on the first page on Google and syndicated the article to 10 directories i will loose my visitors but when i syndicate the original article i will still the unique and the others are copies so i can be sure to rank over them all the time. but others speak that i will only get benefit of the first syndication as the other distributed copies won't be indexed.
i would post it on your blog and wait for it to be indexed before submitting it to article directories then every 10-15 submissions re-write a little
