I have an article, and I want to submit to article directories, now I was just curious. can I submit the same article to a bunch of directories or do I have to have a unique article in each article directory? Also does the backlink in the article to your website really help much with SERP/PR. -Thanks
If You do it smartly articles are very good But You must YOur own get some baclinks to yours articles
Yes, the backlinks help. Unique is always better, but clearly you won't be writing 200 versions of your articles. I tried some article re-writers once and they output garbage. You could always try the following: 1) Write your entire article naturally 2) Take each paragraph of your article and write 3 versions of it. Note that it must start and end on the same note/idea (not same words) as the original paragraph. 3) Mix and match your paragraphs. 4) Have multiple titles for the same article and multiple author resource box's. If you use a program like "Article Post Robot" then it will do the mixing/matching on submission automagically. It uses a format like this. {{{It was raining outside today|Today the weather was gloomy|Wet and cold was the today's forecast}}} You get the idea. Upon submission it would pick one of the three versions. There is no reason that you couldn't do this yourself (without a tool to help), but it is easier with the tool.
