Hello all, I would appreciate some help with the basics regarding article submission. I have been reading many threads regarding this topic to see if I could find out an answer to these topis. Unfortunately, I have not. If anybody can help, I would appreciate very much (either by direct answering or by letting me know where I can find such answer). I have 10 articles with information which is relevant to my web site & am not to sure of what I should do with these articles.Specifically, these are my doubts: 1. Should I use the articles in my site or should I use them for promotion submitting them. Would it be OK to do both or could I be penalised for dup content. 2, If I was to submit them to article submission sites (of which I have already gathered plenty of information), would it be better to submit only one to each one of the leading ones? (10 submissions) or would it be better to use some of the services from some providers who submit the same article to hundreds of article submission sites. Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated. Thanks,
Here's what you could do to make them unique.. use the 10 original articles on your site. Rewrite the articles with slight changes to make them unique and submit to ezinearticles.com, with backlinks to your site. Do the same and submit to other major directories. Then rewrite the articles to make them different from the original 10, submit them to all others. Here's a list of site to submit to: [http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art12838.asp]
NicheGuy pretty much gave the perfect answer. I would only add that you need to rewrite the original articles by changing at least 75% of the content (this is what I've always been told by the PLR memberships I've been a member to). So basically, make sure you completely rewrite them. The other thing you'll want to do is make sure you take full advantage of your author bio box. Make it interesting and engaging. You want people to click through to your site. And always use the keyword for the article in the anchor text along with your full url in the author bio box. So your author bio box might look like something like this (if the keyword for the article is "insomnia remedy"): Did you know that 60% of people suffer from insomnia and never get proper treatment?

Thank you very much for your help & your tips. I see that you are not for submitting these articles to many news sites at all. Main conclusion I get from Niche Guy is by all means quality (of publisher) over quantity (number of publishers I submit to). Following this, rewriting / changing 75% of it is really a change (thanks tvanslooten for the remark). Does the change mean a real "content change" or mainly a "structural change". What I mean is if I need to mainly change the content or I can do a structural change such as changing the order of paragraphs, sentences, changing a few words using some synonims here and there, taking a paragraph out & putting a new one, changing some of these sentence structures then that might be OK for me, but... would that be enough? IF somebody has an example of this being done & published in two articles sites (and could post the links here to those articles to read them), I would highly appreciate. Thank you again so far for you help which is being most helpfull & any other suggestions in this matter would be highly appreciated too.
Note that is you're using sites like Isnare to distribute for you then the same article will get distributed around quite a lot; so if you have the time, submit manually, partially re-writing as you do. Even aiming for a new set of keywords each time too. Colm
Very interesting. I am curious if for example you can write 3 articles, then create 10 different bio content boxes and submit the three articles to different article directories mixing and matching the bio lines for each submission. I am curious if this would be effective because if there are duplicate content issues it would not have an affect on you cause the articles are not on your site.
If somebody has an example of two rewritten and re-published articles, would be really helpfull, to see/understand if the 75% changes need to be "structural" or also "content" changes.
You'll need to change the words up a fair amount if you're going to rewrite the same article over and over. Minor structural changes won't be sufficient.
