Is it a bad idea to submit the same article to around 500 article directories? Should I be worried about duplicate content??? Any advice appreciated! Thanks
It depends on your objective. If you want to increase the number of visitors to your site through a resource box link, it's OK. If you just want to increase your Google pagerank, it might not be effective because of duplicate content.
Google will NOT penalize you for the duplicate content, but make sure that you don't copy and paste 100% articles of someone else for the article submission. Because of the copyright.
Ok so it's ok for increasing traffic but not for page rank? I don't really mind about page rank as long as I'm getting sales hehehe. Thanks for the info!
