Can you submit one article into various article directories?

    Can you, for example, write 1 article and submit that 1 article into many article directories? Or do you have to submit 1 different article into each article directory? Sorry, you’ll probably think that this is stupid question, but I’m new to this SEO thing :S

    In my opinion first submit that article to your site. Then submit it to other sites

    submit it to max 3/4 article directories, and rewrite them a little so they appear unique at first glance.
    this works best for me

    ps. make sure you use the "top" directories

    It depends. Some article websites do not accept duplicate content, such as ezinearticle.com. But most article websites have no this limitation, so you can still submit one article to multiple websites.

    First target those websites which usually give you big traffic then you can try to modify your article then post it somewhere else! Make sure to post content first on your main site

    Jezz, why must I make sure that I post the content on my main site? Is this obligatory?
    So I can publish it into my site and then, the same article, into a few of the top article directories?
    Does someone know a good free spinning software?
    Sorry for my noob questions, and thank you all for giving me excelent answers.

    You can submit in as many article directories as you want. Before submitting just have a look at the directories page rank.

    There is no requirement that your articles go on your own site first.

    However, you should not be submitting the same articles to different directories, because they will be pegged as duplicate content and will be removed from the index. If your links are removed from the index, they're not counted at all when it comes to your search engines ranking -- the duplicate content may not hurt you, but it won't help you, either. And, if your site is new, and full of nothing but duplicate content, you can be sure that Google will catch you (and probably punish you) sooner rather than later.

    Your best bet is to rewrite your articles (WITHOUT a spinner because spinners turn your content into a mess). If your articles are about 50% different, they will count as unique content.

    Use article spinner instead. A lot of n00b SEO firms when they do article submissions they just submit the exact same article to 50+ directories
    its a bad move
    40 of those will end up in supplimental results or not be indexed at all
    and the link love is lost.

    if you submit the same content to multiple directories, then more than 2/3 of copies are added to supplemental results and google won't care bout your backlinks so they are worthless. If you don't have time or possibility to write many articles on the same theme, you may consider rewriting them to pass copyscape and then you may consider your pieces unique-content. This is a good article rewriter tool: http://e-articles.info/content-rewrite/

    I just avoid and issues with rankings and such and deliver completely hand written unique articles to any article directory I can, especially where there is traffic. However I just launched a brand new article directory so if you have unique content that is not a duplicate you have posted elsewhere feel free to submit to http://www.6articles.com This site is being promoted currently and will have traffic coming to your articles.

    There is no problem in submitting one article in different article directories. but this can be only done in article sites which take duplicate content. some sites like buzzle, triond do not take duplicate content. for them you always need a fresh article

    You can submit one articles in various articles directories. Some article directories accept the same articles but some articles shows there is duplicate content and will not accepted. So, it is better to do some modification in the article and submit in different article directory. That will beneficial as seo point of views.
