    I would suggest to submit unique articles only, else duplicate content on multiple sites would hurt the sites - as well as reduce your reputation as a good writer!

    There are much things to be considered in both the positive and negative aspects of submitting the same article over different sites. The most advisable is to submit totally unique articles but that's difficult since the backlink building should be comparatively fast and you cant waste much time in writing unique articles. Or just spin it and review it once manually so that it has the flow and looks close to unique that could pass copyscape etc.

    It is perfectly acceptable to submit identical articles to any directory. In fact, you should do it. One of the best things that can happen is that a couple hundred blogs/sites pick your article up and post it on their site.

    Two reasons why I wouldn't do it:

    1. The article submission sites state that you shouldn't submit duplicate content. I've seen accounts banned that have done it and you'll never get the platinum member level on ezine for example.

    2. Google will be cracking down on this as mentioned recently from Matt Cutts (I think that's his name!)


    Then again it's an iffy subject as you can't do anything about someone else grabbing your article and submitting it themselves, best bet I think is to keep the article submission sites happy :)

    This is getting to the old "duplicate content" subject.
    Matt has already cleared that myth up and i submitted a ticket to EA asking about posting an article first on my site and then submitting to EA. In both cases, no problem, no duplicate content. Take it for what it is worth;)

    I don't think that should be done. Submitting the same content on more sites actually makes your content non-unique.

    If you post to EzineArticles, be sure to submit to them first. Then wait until it is accepted before posting to the others.

    So it is okay to post the article first on your own website and then submitting the same to other article submission sites. Will it be okay to mention on your website that the same article is also published in a specific website?
    Do you mean to say, that it is okay to submit one article to about 3 to five or to all 10 of these websites? You won't get into trouble with these sites or with the search engines?

    To how many article submissions sites can you submit a single article? What about earnings and copyrights if an article gets buyers from more than one site?

    Yes, it is ok to have the same article posted on your site and other directories.
    But, if I were you I would first post on EA. Wait until accepted before submitting to other directories.

    And, remember what happens when Google finds 2 of the same info. He only shows one version. So, what you can do for the copy posted on your site is to slightly change the Title, and rewrite the opening paragraph.:) That way you still basically have unique content on your site.

    Absolutely! There is no duplicate content penalty and you should always submit to ezine and goarticles first and then submit to the other directories.

    You can submit your own articles anywhere that you wish, but you should always publish them on your own sites first. In doing so, you will retain your copyright, and will simply be lending those article sites permission to use your content. Whatever you do, don't give it away.

    And on the note about duplicate content, it is true that submitting unique articles to each directory is better. You don't have to do full re-writes, but change it up just a bit if you would. The results will be far better in the long run.

    Have to disagree with this one.:) You don't have to change a thing. The more your original article is published, the better off you are. Just from my opinion and experience.

    Submitting articles to various article submission sites can be a daunting task. Focusing on ezinearticle is more than enough.

    I always publish to EZA first, then only submit to the top 5 directories. For me EZA, GoArticles, ArticleDashboard, ArticleCity and ArticleBase.

    I try to copy content from other site and posted it to blog for testing purposes and indeed penalization is true. The test works and i am convinced with penalty.

    I also seen other sites, duplicating content of article directories and not penalized for doing that.
    To be safe and smart. Re word the first article and submit again to another article directory.
