Hello I'm starting to get into article marketing. The main thing I am confused about is the concept of duplicate penalty. I see that after writing an article, some people say to submit it to as many article directories as possible, but I'm sure it'll face the penalty. What I'd prefer to do instead is send an article to ezinearticles, and one to goarticles. I'm wondering can I just change the title, or does the content have to be different too? I'm thinking fastest way would be tow rite ana rticle and send it to ezine. Then re-write it and send it to goarticles. I could use some input from experienced article marketers thanks!
If you are only going to submit to a couple sites, make sure one of them is at least EZine.. If you submit 100% unique articles then you will have more success, but you will have to do more work.. I suggest submitting the same article to a handful of sites and reaping the backlinks. Your site won´t get any penalty at all, so I wouldn´t worry too much about it.
Here's what I think: Don't get hung up with duplicate penalty. It's true if you submit your article to hundreds of directories - the pages where your articles are being published will be sent to supplemental pages - it doesn't matter you don't get affected on this you still get this 3 main advantages. For me the 3 main advantages of Article Marketing are: #1 Reaching your target audience - the more article directories publishing your articles -----the more chance you get exposed to your audience. -----the more chance your article get picked up by sites and now you get to reach more target audience #2 Your article getting ranked in the SERPS - because your articles are hosted in authority sites you get rank right away if you apply the strategy that i mentioned in my video i posted in my site - SearchTrafficTeam.com #3 Your article will build backlinks to your site pages.
I also worry about this penality, would I be ok to submit the same article to say 10 different directories or would I get penalized? I have no sound on my pc, what is your strategy to getting ranked in google instantly? Thanks
Search Engines are still willing to index duplicate content and in some cases are even happy to do so. However, the Search Engines fundamentally still don't like duplicate content, they simply recognize there is occasionally a time and a place for it. So, when and why do the Search Engines 'like' duplicate content?... for example, If visitors are looking for breaking news story , the SE's will show duplicate content in that situation. Also, the SE's want to have redundancy, just in case one site goes down. In these instances duplicate content is seen to be acceptable, unfortunately however, the Search Engines still have a long way to go before being able to decipher types of duplicate content effectively. Duplicate content detection within search results is an extremely complex area and so even when the SE's get it right there will likely still be plenty of room for errors. So sure, Search Engines may still index duplicate content but they won't rank it well or rather they will only rank the 'authoritative' duplicate page. Basically if you're duplicate content pages get indexed it doesn't mean they will rank well enough to get traffic, it just means the Search Engine knows about them.
Easiest thing to do is generate the content so it appears unique. Split your article into chunks, loading into an excel spreadsheet. Bits in Column A, bits in Column B, etc. Then substitute unique values into column B D G K (or whatever columns you choose). Use the concatenate function to splice em all back together again. Voila, you've got 2 or 20 or 200 unique versions of your article.
I always suggest people re-write each article at least 40% before submitting it to the article directories. In other words, if you have 5 articles you should have 5 versions of each article that is 40% different than the original. If you don't have the time/desire to do this, you can get away with re-writing the articles 40% from your original article and submit the changed one to the top few directories. Duplicate content takes into account not only the actual content but the page in which the content is on. My website and your website are obviously going to be different because we're going to have different backgrounds, links, images, etc...Don't worry too much about it. Jason
I used to use a rewriting service to have unique copies of every article I submitted, but I found this too tedious and not an efficient use of time. Instead what I have been doing is first publishing the article on my blog, then pinging my blog. After that, I submit that article to some choice article directories, with a link to that blog post in the resource box. I read that having a link to the original source (in this case my blog) will curb the duplicate content penalty.
That's interesting. I wonder what kind of penalties a website would get from the search engines for putting their press releases on their site if they have submitted the release to PR.con, PRweb.com, etc who in turn submit it to Google News, Yahoo News, etc??? The question above is why I don't really believe that *any* of the major search engines are actually capable of really locating "duplicate content". It just seems illogical that if, for example, IBM were to create a press release, put it on their site, release it through the AP, PR or major wires, and that content would be duplicated hundreds, possibly thousands of times. Who is Google going to penalize?
There is a great discussion at http://affiliate-marketing-forums.5...e-content-s-not-what-you-think.html#post21780 This should make it quite clear that there is NO duplicate content penalty in the sense that some people might think
Don't worry too much about the duplicate rule, also we don't even know if the page rank is going to come out at all!
