    Yes Google like unique articles so if you can use one article for one site so it will be good but you can use 1 article to 10 sites. It will not create any problem SEO wise.

    From my point if view, it is better to have unique content in each one of the articles you submit. Search Engines do not like duplicated content. It is easy to produce several versions of the same article, just making syntax adjustments and the use of synonyms. This way you do not have to write several articles from scratch.

    I have been working on SEO since long time. Even I have also asked same question on different forums that can we submit same article on different article directories. Now I have evaluated some points regarding to this.

    1. Google hate duplicate content, so if we submit same content on different article directories then definitely google do not entertain such links. If there is no such issue, then why we not just copy ezine published article by other people and submit to other article directories. Will it be valuable? then everybody would be king on the SERP rank.

    2. I myself tested this. I submitted one article to ezine or other article directory and thereafter I submitted the same article to other directory. What I have seen that either the article directory did not accept the article or even it been published google did not cache that article.

    3. I only submit unique article to different article directories and even I am getting good results.

    4. What I think that google might be evaluate the links if we publish same content on different article directories.

    Well all the points are simply my opinion. I prefer only submitting unique article to unique directory.

    For the person getting the link, I don't think it's an issue, as long as the link gets indexed. The main problem is for the article directories - this is why they reject any submissions where there is duplicate content. With clever usage of article spinners, you can create dozens of unique articles in one hour flat if you know your niche and know how to write good articles.

    if you are submitting as a promotional method, then there is nothing wrong with submitting the same article to multiple sites. you cannot get penalized for duplicate content on 3rd party site. for backlink purposes however, unique articles work better

    OK, the Unique content rule has been around a while and I think there will always be confusion about how it works.

    Basicly Google hate duplicate content when its on your site. Dup content on other sites they are less fussed about, if you can put unique content on each article directory then thats good but not doing so will not have any negative effect on your site.

    I have tested this to death and I can safely say that links you generate even through dup content on many article directories will still get picked up and will still help your site and rankings.

    Of course this is just my opinion from the results of my tests, I am not a Google employee so I could always be wrong!
