Keep Articles on my Website or submit to Article Directories?

Use the original article on your site, and then spin it, with software like "the best spinner" and use the copies for backlinks, or additional traffic in the article directories, and other places. I do it all the time, and they always pass copyscape. You can buy copyscape checks for five cents each, and they are well worth it.

 

if its a good article and well optimize and you think it would give a big boost to your site place it in your site content but if you need back links more on content submit it to article directories.

 

Submitting them to article directories is good, ofcourse you should have your link in the resource do due credit is due to you

 

Post on your site first then submit to the directories. You do want it
to be indexed on your site first.

It's just syndication of your articles.

 

Do both! BUT let the content on your site mature a while before you post to the directories, so google can find it on your blog.

 

Use the original article on your site, and then spin the article and use the
generated articles to submit to article directories.

 

I'd put them in high pagerank article directories for the purpose of gaining backlinks to my website.
