I wrote an article and posted it on my website. Should I do a rewrite of it to submit into various article directories to avoid duplicated content? Should I submit different (rewritten) article each time to a new directory or is it ok to do a rewrite once for all directories?
Duplicate content is only bad if it is within the same website. If you publish your article in many different article directories that is perfectly fine. It would be nice if you want to rewrite the article every time you submit it to a new article directory, but It can be very time consuming if done properly. If you just rewrite the article titles that will do.
Thanks for the advice, howinfo. I was wondering about the same issue. Also, should I set a limit on how many article directories I should submit the same article to? And which one matters more -- an established articles directory like GoArticles, or a new but high PR-ranking directory?
I Would suggest two strategies. 1. Submit manually to high page rank and major article directories and also find article directories that are niche article directories that are related to your nice and submit your articles to them manually as well. 2. Then, for rest of the article directories use article submission service like Isnare or one of the Article Marketer services. That will give you a lot of one way back links and hopefully some click as well. From submission services you will receive a list of all the article directories where your article as been submitted. You can choose some of the best ones with higher page rank and also some niche ones, go to them and log into your account and fully edit your profile and upload your picture or a logo and bookmark the articles, more bookmarks then better. Also change your titles of the articles as well.
well this discussion has also removed my confusions and i also think that posting articles as a guest can also promote your wesite
I wouldn't suggest to get only high PR back links that doesn't look natural to the big G I would say that you need some small PR back links as well Well that worked for me. With the article directories I'm doing the same thing just random article directories.
Keep unique content on your site. Rewrite several articles and submit them to the top 5-10 directories. Then I would spin an article around 70-80% and submit to every other directory.
