    Hello, please HELP. :confused:

    I have a question in regards to article directories as I have never ever done this before. I know that article directories do not help all niches, especially niches that have unusual services etc out of experience.

    But anyway, my question is, when submitting an article to an article directory, should the article(s) be unique articles? I am really wondering this because I know the articles are distributed a lot so I'd imagine that even if you submit a unique article, that it wouldn't be counted as unique since there are many sites that scrape/use the content from article directories. SO, should you submit unique articles to article directories or does it not matter? And should you submit a unique article to each article directory one-by-one or only write a unique article and distribute the same article amongst several article directories? :confused:

    A lot of article directories are now in question as far as the Google's change of algorithm is concerned.
    I'm now hesitating to submit my original content to ezinearticles, for example.
    With regard to your question, yes, it's best to submit original and high quality content.

    Good question EGS. For my article marketing campaigns, I write one unique high quality article and submit that article to Ezine Articles( and yes they still provide a good quality backlink), then I spin that article, make sure it is atleast 40-50% different than your original and submit that too article directories that have atleast a PR 3 and above. One rule of thumb is never put the same article you submitted to Ezine on your blog or webpage. Hope that helps.

    Keep your articles unique is the best advise and I would even avoid spinning them as a rule. far better to have one unique article

    Well, more backlinks is better than less, whether the content is unique for each link or it's duplicated all over the place. You'll get more benefit out of the links though if they are unique.

    Spinning is good, but it depends a lot on your spinning technique.

    If you're submitting it all manually, I'd only stick with a few of the big ones purely for the sake of not wasting the time required to submit to the rest. If you've got some automated software, feel free to do them all.

    Article marketing is great way to spread a word about your products or services. It has been and in my opinion it will continue to be, regardless of Google's algorithm changes. Just focus on quality. Spinning is a good way to give a variety if you submit them in bulk to many websites, but I have not noticed any difference in incoming links whether I spin articles or not...

    since google have updated its alogrithm to fight content farm, it is best to submit unique articles or 4 level nested hand-spun articles if you planning to submit to hundreds or thousands of article directories....

    If the article isn't unquie then the top article directories won't
    accept it.
