Is it neccessary to spin/rewrite your own article on your own blog when submitting to an article directory? Any decent free article directories out there?
a1articles , articlebase , articlerich , buzzle these all are freee or best directories. for better or thousends of directory just type " Free article directory list " in your Google search bar.
Check out my signature for a my 2 article directories, they are very new but will grow quickly so get in quick. in answer to your first question that duplicate content is not counted But if you spin enough to have all differnet content then yes google states they must be less that 20% unique so you need to reqrite %80 of the article you could nearly write a new article depending your methods.
I never spin my articles and have never had a problem getting them accepted. The only directory that won't accept duplicate content to my knowledge is Buzzle. So I just submit there first and then submit everywhere else.
I never tried rewriting my articles, since it was posted to my blog and have send it too different article directories. For me creating a new article for your blog and submitting it to different article directories is much better than rewriting it since there is a SE that favors on unique contents. Here's a mix of free and paid article directories it's old, but old is gold
yes, it worth u lots of money and time if you spin and rewrite it cuz google will consider it only one post if u didnt rewrite or spin it and finally u will get only one backlink.
So it is worth spinning your own articles? Am I understanding that correctly? Cause I am in the process of doing that now and I don't care what kind of spinner you have, this is time consuming and a pain, but if that ultimately is worth it, then I will do it.
