I have a few questions?...... Lets say for example I write a unique article and go ahead and submit it to all of the main article directories like EzineArticles, GoArticles, isnare, and 100+ other directories. From what I know Google will only index maby 3 articles out of these 100 or more into their main index, but will show several others in their supplementary index. My question is does google give value to the your links in the supplementary index? Or will google only give link credit to the links in their main index? So will I get link credit for just the 3 sites in the main index or all 100? Second... For example if I submit 10 articles to isnare, with one anchor text link in each of my bio boxes, which would total 10, will google give me credit for all 10 of these links considering that they are from the same site or will you only be given credit for one link?
Google may only give you credit for 1 instance of that article. This is why I submit my articles to ezinearticles.com first. I then wait for approval before submitting anywhere else. So if Google is only counting 1 instance, you might as well give them the best instance first. I wouldn't be surprised if the other links still help rankings on Google. All of those links will help rankings on other search engines at least. If you submit multiple articles to the same site, Google will give you credit for all of them. Each additional link from the same site may be a little bit less beneficial though. It helps more to have links from many sites instead of many links on a few sites.
