Article submissions - should the resource box vary?

    Guys I have a question. Lets say you use something like jetspinner to spin multiple articles out of one and submit to various directories - should you also alter the resource box each time so that the articles are not treated as duplicate content? Any feedback about jetspinner and say a better alternative to using it is also welcome.

    I think it is okay to have the same wording in each resource box. I have written ezinearticle for many clients and have never heard of that being a problem. HTH!

    I am new to article marketing and have a question,what do you mean by duplicate content? Are you suppose to change the wording of your article for each place you submit it to? Thanks.

    There has been an ongoing debate among online marketers for ages about the impact of submitting the exact same article to many article directories. In have heard recently from a successful article marketer that the importance given to an article by other sites (by linking) is more important than worrying about duplicate content.

    With regards to using the same resource box, if you look at the resource box as "X%" of the total word count within the article it shouldn't have much effect. Having a different resource box does allow you to track your articles more easily though.... :eek:)

    You don't necessarily need to change the author bio box, just modify the article so Google doesn't see it as duplicate content.

    I never use the same resource box. I find it very effective to change it to something catchy and related to your topic every time you submit an article. My CTR is around 30% right now.

    Hi Mark,:)

    Alter author's box? It is up to you which kind of picture do you want to shape about you.

    You can keep the author's box unchanged, it is OK. People will see continuously that you are a respectable gentleman.;) Not bad at all.

    On the other hand as Iceman pointed out right if you make some altering in the author's box, you can measure more easily which converts better. And this is also good.

    What concerns the duplicate content, naturally you need to alter your articles from each other by min 70% and you'll be OK.

    Related to the jetspinner, I tried several such devices, but the result wasn't satisfied for me, so they are out of order at me. You need to consider the articles you fabricated by such devices must be humanly understandable.

    Sure you know that a good article is standing from a dialog: questions and answers in logical order. And another thing is the 'human touch'.

    I think this devices are not capable to giving back this yet. Perhaps in the future, but not now.:(

    Up with the head!:)
