Submit the original unique article to Ezine. Spin the article with article spinning software and submit it to 10 other article sites. SEO in a nutshell.
Most of the Article Directories approve unique good quality articles like ezinearticles..so you need to write good quality articles for submitting to article directories.
I submitted this question to ezinearticles support team as I am in the beginning phases of my article marketing campaign. And here is the response they gave me... So according to them as long as you make it clear that you are the author on all copies submitted on other sites. My practice is to write and post my articles to my own site first then after a few days I submit them to ezinearticles. I wait a few days to allow the search engines to find it on my site first. However I don't worry about 'duplicate content' in terms of internet wide. I just try to make sure my sitemap only includes 1 link per article or page. This eliminates duplicate urls on my sitemap. Hope this helps
Ezine, too me, is special. I write articles exclusively for ezine. Other articles can be redistributed to other directories.
I upload new articles in my site first and wait for it to be indexed by major search engines. Then I will submit the same articles (if required, I will do minor alterations) to ezine and so far, I have 50 live articles with ezine...
It's better to load an original article on enzine and than build it into an authority page using bookmarks, a blogspot page and a hubpage. Use original articles on the blogspot and hub too. Submit the feed of the blogspot to rss directories and bookmark as well. It's more about quality than quanity.
Yep go original. Don't spend too much time on ezine though because after all google is now more looking at your link profile than just a ton of links from a website. They both matter but just for the future also if Ezine would somehow get downgraded in PR or search engines then all of your articles could suffer.
I find ezine very useful for my articles as well. I ve been receiving quite a lot of hits referring from ezine recently.
