Hi All I use SubmitEaze. I have written around 40 high quality, unique articles over 2 months, which I then submit to around 40-50 article sites. Although the articles on each site are never duplicated, because I am submitting the same article to many different article sites, would Google see this is dulicate content and penalize me? thanks
Yes, and no. yes, they will see it as duplicate content, no they won't penalize you, they can only penalize websites. for now. BTW, they claim there is no 'penalty', but the reality of it is spamming out 10,000 identical copies of the same thing to every article directory under the sun is a complete and utter waste of time, bandwidth, and diskspace. If it ain't unique, there's no need to store it again.
Thank you for you reply! Ok, so would you suggest it is best wriing a great article and submitting it to 10 high quality article websites? Also I am wanting to vary my links. On the "about author" and similar pages, I want to expand my keywords, currently they are only 4 keywords all linking to my homepage - not ideal.... So, do you think it is a good idea if I deep link on more varied keyword such as: Servicing Keywords <a href="http://www.budgenmotorcars.co.uk/page.php?art=42">car servicing shrewsbury</a> <a href="http://www.budgenmotorcars.co.uk/page.php?art=42">car service shrewsbury</a> Car Rental Keywords <a href=" http://www.budgenmotorcars.co.uk/page.php?art=67">car rental shrewsbury</a> <a href=" http://www.budgenmotorcars.co.uk/page.php?art=67">car hire shrewsbury</a>
Yes the deep links would be better. By the way, is there a way to convert your internal page links to be more search engine friendly (i.e. modrewrite them) Example: /page.php?art=67 -> /car-rental This would help with your SEO efforts as the keywords would appear in the URL.
