So, I'm about to throw a bunch of articles out to isnare and others to build backlinks. I had planned on simply putting the articles up on my website also, either on a resources page or in my forums, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that having duplicate content on my site that matches where my backlinks come from is not good. As in Google sees that and wont give as much weight to the backlinks if the exact same content is somewhere on my site. any truth? myth?
My experience is that if you have a trusted site and you post the content on your site first, then wait for it to be indexed you'll be fine. Google will find the other places you post it as the duplicates. However, if your site is new I'd rewrite smaller versions of the articles to be posted to the other sites.
good advice from freelistfool... you need to make sure that the article is cached on your website BEFORE you start submitting it to article submissions/syndication sites. Then you just sit back and watch the backlinks build ...
freelist does offer good advice - I had a site long time ago where I posted the article on a newish website and article sub sites in the same frame of time. Of course, they were picked up through one of the AS sites first and it didn't work out too well. I pulled up an online thesaurus and changed some nouns and verbs and eventually...the article now ranks number 1 for a somewhat popular term that I was originally targeting and number three for a single keyword term. I'd personally rewrite any article before posting it to any new site.
Yep rewrite the articles on your site and make sure you DON'T link bak to similar articles no one wants to read an article then follow a link to the same article.
No, but if you write several articles about different aspects of the same topic, then you could use the entire list as your resource and link to your own article index. Personally, I'd write a FANTASTIC article, post it on my own site, then re-write it into smaller articles, or simply plagiarize it and then link back to my main page as it's source or reference. That way, the best content is on my own domain, while anything substandard is elsewhere.
If you submitt to ezinearticles.com and then post the same article on your website, you are likely to outrank yourself on the SERPs with the ezinearticles article. Do what Qryztufre said and write a brilliant article for your site and then a different one for the submissions. You don't want to outrank your own site with a site such as ezinearticles where you aren't getting a direct link on the SERPs.
I got good serp to publish free articles, but I add some words at the first and the end of the articles without change the original article
