Can I submit the same article to multiple directories????

So What do you say Guys, I need suggestions please
Waiting for your feedbacks.
Thank you.

 

You can definitely submit the same article to many directories, but it is recommended that you have a couple variations of that same article to increase the uniqueness of that article

 

I think, we can submit the same article in many article directories, but it is better to change the title and keywords in different article directories.

 

Don't believe in rumor about duplicate penalty, go read Matt Cutt's (in charge Google webspam division) Blog. Duplicate content might not be good if you are doing it intentionally across your site in order to rank well for certain keywords. But it's perfectly fine, for a few duplicated pages on your site.

As for article submissions, you can do article submissions into hundreds or even thousands of directories, that is fine. If duplicate contents outside of your site is bad, I can take out blackhat tool like xumer and blast my competitor's links across millions of sites and get them banned. Why bother doing SEO for your site when you can make your competitors disappear? This is not how it works.

What Google does, is look at duplicate contents, and see if the creation seems natural (say via press release syndication, or sudden surge of social bookmarking of a new trend, or some prankster trying to Google bomb someone, say building 1 million links with keyword "talentless hack" for their friend's profile). If it looks natural, it folds up the duplicates they indexed slowly into the one with the most authority, and that link has all the releavancy juice and PR juice rolled into it, and ranked on the top when people look up the article title & author.

Article spinnning (I think Google can still tell, if you change words into synonum) isn't all that useful, so what you need to do, in order to bypass the duplicate content stacking, is to rewrite the articles completely and use sets of articles to spin. Once you have those, then multiple links of the spinned set will be counted as separate in search result instead of getting slowly rolled into one.

Quick summary:

1. Duplicate content on your: Okay if small amount
2. Duplicate content outside of your control: No negative effect possible.
3. Article spinning okay if you want to see more indexed results, but not required.

 

Its true Google hates Duplicate contents But if you want back links through single articles you can submit But i don't say any thing about approval of Articles in Article directories But for Backlinks you can use this black hat technique

 

Don't do that It's duplicate content, because you do it in one domain with many folders or domain. Be careful about that.

You can copy or posting the same content with different domain and don't in the one domain, if you want do it in multiple domain.

Everyone copied amazon.com content in multiple domain, yes amazon.com content has copied to thousand of domains their associates.

 

Google won't penalize you for duplicate contents, as what Matt Cutts said, "A lot of people ask about articles split into parts and then printable versions. Do not worry about G penalizing for this."

 

Hi Ed,

I did try to spin an article, however, funny thing is, it didn't spin anything at all

 

I have something for you guys visit marketwire.com they have a lots of news articles and u also can find them in the other news directories including Yahoo with the same Title and same content. Google like to index them and put them on its SERP with lot of Respect??? I dont think Google penalize for duplicate content. I do submit my same articles on both Blogger and Wrodpress and they both get index. Both are still working and have good PR.

Syndicate carefully: If you syndicate your content on other sites, Google will always show the version we think is most appropriate for users in each given search, which may or may not be the version you'd prefer. However, it is helpful to ensure that each site on which your content is syndicated includes a link back to your original article. You can also ask those who use your syndicated material to block the version on their sites with robots.txt.

Content syndication is a basic link building strategy. Article Distribution is a way of syndicating content, if your article is good other webmaster will post it on their site and as long as in the BIO you include a link back to the original source you should be fine.

You can visit any content distribution site, copy and paste between " " the title of any article in google and see how many results it shows a couple of weeks after the distribution, than you can check the site linked in the BIO and check the amount of backlinks and page rank. You can easily come up with your own conclusion.

Duplicated content is an issue if the same site has more than one page with the same content. Google is pretty smart and they understand that anybody can copy and paste your content and you have no control over it, so it would be unfair for them to penalize a site based on that. If it was so easy to get a site de-indexed/ban/penalized as Jihoy said we would all buy Xrumer to spam our competitors content in forums and distribute other people articles.

 

Wow that was quite good information.
Thanks for sharing.

 

i agree with printmatt
i have done some experiments on the same & got the same results as printmatt told

Google chooses the article which is having more links & ignores the duplicates.
But can get enough traffic from the duplicates.

 

Good info thnx for sharing

 

yes you can submit the same article in multiple submission sites but make it sure that its your own created article.

 

Yes, you can. I usually change the title a little. Ezinearticles wants original though. The others don't seem to care.
