Dup Content ??

Ok this has probably been asked before but here goes..

I write a ton of articles on my site and was wondering whats the best way to go about submitting them to other article sites? Should I not even do that because of Dup content or should I post them on my site and a couple days later submit them to article directories? I want to get some more backlinks so that would be the reason for this..
Thanks

Smarter to do this. But would even be better is to use a different article and submit it to article directories instead of the one on your site. Google is pretty good at determining which is the original, but Google is not perfect.

 

maybe rewrite the article a little and submit that one

 

I was told to submit articles to the directories and waiting until they were published before posting it on my site. What say you, oh wise ones?

 

rel canonical?

 

exactly

 

It is the other way around. By posting on your site first you get credit where credit is due.
Why give Ezine the credit when you should have it?

 

Maybe you should watch this video? http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleWebmasterHelp#p/u/20/6hSoXutuj0g

 

Or maybe use some article spinner or rewriter...or hire sombody to do this.
