I am considering signing up to an article submitter but was wondering if this is going to do more harm than good if i'm also going to be submitting the same articles onto my own site in my blog area? Should i use seperate articles perhaps? Peace!
I recommend that do not publish the article on your sites which you are distributing in the many article site. It obviously create the content duplicity because no article sites showing the original source they only gives the link back.
If i was to rewrite the article to have two differnet versions? One for submission and one for my own site?
One more thing, if i have a blog on my site with a set number of Categories. And i post an article which would go into "Seo" but also "Tutorials" so it's in TWO different categories, would this count as duplicate content?
to make the better resource for your web always try to create new article. if you use same one that you have published to some directory it looks like that you have copied that article from directory and create impression like spam.
I am not too sure, but based on my experience, I think the problem here is when the search engine indexes your article at domain.com/article-name/ then domain.com/category1/article-name/ and domain.com/category2/article-name/ because I don't think search engines can tell for themselves that you are just placing them in categories, instead would look at each of them as separate content. Although your content are just at the same domain, it would still be better to choose the best category. Or a workaround for the sitemap is to use a plugin (if using wordpress) to exclude the creation of category urls, but again, this is just for the sitemap. The search engine could still visit your site and find the categories and the posts belonging to it.
