will it be effective to start a new article directory than a general web directory? Although i feel it is convincing, my worst fear with article directories, doesnt these articles published would lead to duplication and ultimately leading to google to penalise your site?? what you guys think??
No, because the article is still owned by the authors and they still own it. They usually leave their link at the bottom and when the article is distributed, their link follows. BTW, what script do you plan on using?
