    Hello,friends
    When I submit article in article directories do I need to rewrite it before I submit in every new directory, or I can submit it without changes?
    I am newby, so I hope the question is not stupid. Thanks for responses.

    you can submit it however you like.

    However, you'll get the best results if you take the trouble to make it unique each time you submit it.

    It is depend on which articles directories you're going to submit the articles. Some won't allow duplicate content. So it is best for you to rewrite it for at least 25% from the original one.

    Thanks for responses. I found DupefreePro to check how my rewritten article is. Is it OK to use this tool?

    You don't need to rewrite if your article is new. Just submit it to article directories like ezine articles, article alley, article dashboard and go articles.

    Its always good to write original content as you will get wise visitors and in process you will also learn a lot and if are copying the article you must see the copyrights and did they allow to copy it .

    it is best to have multiple versions of an article and then submit to diff directories. if same article is published at many places, these published pages ll become duplicate, which are supressed by google and your links will have no value. effort of complete rewriting is worth the effort - becoz even partial rewrites are easily detected by google. copyscape is nice tool to see if articles are original or derived from elsewhere

    If you don't make it unique you'll basically be competing against yourself, and consequently Google may drop all of your articles. Not a good thing if your goal is to be indexed highly by Google.

    Perhaps rewrite each article that focuses on a different area of the topic you're writing about. That should prevent any bad Google karma.

    That's correct. He doesn't need to rewrite it.

    But he'd be wise to rewrite it every time he submits it. That way it gets treated like new content by all the search engines wherever they find it, rather than just 'oh yeah, theres that article again'...

    I would submit to the best article directories (top 4 or 5 of your choice) with it rewritten, but don't rewrite it for all 4,000 article directories!

    Do you need to rewrite, no (only for Buzzle, they only take unique articles).

    It is fine to use DupefreePro to check your articles. After all, all it does is compare two versions of an article to tell you how much is the same in both. But if you take time to put a unique slant on each article you probably won't need to check at all.

    I submit my articles to Ezine Articles and Go Articles at the same time and both sites accept. Still, that's only two sites. If you're going to submit to many, then you should probably rewrite some.

    put the content on your webpage first so that it gets the initial credit from google then do your submission to article directories

    I also believe it is best to rewrite it - about 30% of the content should be different.

    that assumes the googloebot crawls your site 'in the right order'.

    There's no guarantee that will happen. The bot can vanish for *weeks* at a time.
