Is it okay to submit the same article to a lot of directories/sites?

    Hi guys,
    I understand that article submission is one of the most effective ways of promoting a website. I've got a doubt though. Is it okay to submit the same article to a number of directories and sites? I write a great article and then I submit it to say, 50 directories/sites. Is it okay or will it be considered duplicate content by search engines? Could someone explain? Thanks in advance for your time.

    I know at least Google will regard it as duplicate content.

    Jason Green was promoting some website that spins articles so that they are regarded as "different" by search engines. I wish I had added it to favorite's, and if anyone knows what website I'm talking about...(spin something?) please include it here.

    I would highly recommend using one of those article spinners to avoid duplicate content.

    Solo,

    That wasn't it. This one was promoted by Jason Green and could turn "one article" into "100 different ones" by changing titles, headlines, and paragraph structure/wording. It seemed completely legitimate and I really wish I could remember the name of it, because I was planning to use it for my own business. Usually I remember this stuff but..dropped the ball on it.

    Thanks for looking though! I know it was posted in the last month or two..I'm going to try and see if I can find it.
