    Hi Guys,

    I have a blog on my website and I am daily posting new articles on it. I have question -- Is it okay if I post the same article to article directories?

    Hope to get the help asap.

    Thanks,
    Ira

    Your blog will be crawled slower than established articles directory. so your contents in your blog will be considered as duplicate. you get -ve rank in google.

    You can do one thing , instead of posting complete article in article directory , just post few lines and say “…more in your blog” .

    Thanks a lot for well-explained answer. My second question is -- Is it okay if i make about 2000+ article submission posts every month or Google can take it as massive marketing?

    Would love well-explained answer.

    Thanks,

    alter your article
    You see the same news stories on news sites everyday , but even though the story is basically the same , they change how the wording is used.

    example :

    Article 1
    "Trained dog used in bank heist , then makes get away in engineered car for him to drive, witnesses say they 'thought it was hoax' and were too busy being entertained to take the license plate or to get a accurate description of the dog".

    Article 2.
    "They say every dog has its day, and a dog in Beverly Hills CA. had the day that other dogs might only dream of when it walked into a bank and made off with over a million dollars and if that wasn't strange enough, it then drove away in a specially designed car. Witnesses have offered their best intentions for sketch artists , but police say its hard to tell if its a labrador, retriever or doberman .."

    Article 3.
    "Dog Gone... literally, and with over a million dollars in cash!" .. etc

    Hey buddy never go for article submissions,
    Why you spread your own unique content on those directories,
    Have a patience till spiders crwal the article post on your website, as soon as spiders crwal your post, you will get decent traffic through se's, as se's mostly google likes unique and fresh content.

    That will have some negative impact on your ranking, maybe you need to make minor changes to the article in your blog.

    I suppose maybe like some of the examples?
    I made that stuff up, although I would like to see an article where a dog does a bank heist ..it would definitely be interesting.

    But about your articles, if you're worried about that stuff.. then why not submit to AP and other press releases?
    They might use the story in tact without changing it as a blurb or somethin..then you'd be in the same scenario.. if you gave them a story somehow that was news worthy ..maybe they would then write their own wording on it. Remember that company that put a LED light character on buildings and bridges.. they were the called terrorists because of the circuit board and the paranoia age we're being coralled into ..but , that would be a story where they didnt write anything they had it created.. but that would be the extreme of probably what not to do. dont make things that look like circuits or bombs would be my guess.

    back to your articles.. are they boring? ..is it where you want to submit 1 article, and then thousands of article sites post it on a page for a day and then you hope to get a PR 10 ? :)
    That would be so awesome if that worked, ..but then everybody would know about it and be doing it , and everybody would have a PR 10 website and then these forums wouldn't even exist because everybody would know how to spend under $5,000 to get a PR 10.

    The only problem with that .. is that it doesnt work out like that. It would be cool as heck if it did , maybe. maybe not. Ya know what the difference is between big corporate sites that always seem to get ranked higher and faster than any individuals or small business etc ? ..this is what I came up with anyway, They have teams of peoples, it could even be 200 to 1,000 people. That's the real 'trick' in SEO or marketing of anything in my opinion. 200 to 1,000 people that aint ignorant to what they're doing, how they're doing it.

    they all go out into the Internet in areas that have been designated and scouted as the best places, sites etc.
    they create sites, off-shoot sites, they generate the talk about it directly, and about it indirectly. they can put 200 to 1,000 people in more areas at a time, as opposed to one or a few peoples. Which is important because then they can generate a REAL-TIME awareness in many places. that's long been known as the main ingredient in generating awareness that can end up in crazes like beanie babies etc. One or two or 10 people could talk about somethin for 5 or 10 years ..and eventually get to all those places on the Internet too..but they would be missing the real-time ingredient. To make something look big , people usually want to see alot of mention of it , and see a lot of people talking about it.. in various ways. like say, instead of people reciting stupid ad slogans or ad campaign cue cards, just people talking about ..in their own ways, words and opinions. When you talk about somethin like that at the beginning, one thing will always happen.. many people will also feel inclined to say = "poo poo! ..that idea all sucks!" it's like somethin in the matrix just makes them do that I suppose. lol
    and so if youre not able to cover all those bases as they say .. then the negative wind comes, and then people see the negativity about it.. and if nobody is there to back it up, then it gets filed away in the minds as a crap idea that upstarted and fell apart. Your competitors, mainly the BIG ones.. they know exactly how that works. Sorta like having a offense and a defense on a football team. Offense is out creating good buzz and real-time awareness and covering the bases they're standing on. The defensove team is out poo pooing every competitive idea that could potentially become your competition if it gets off the ground.

    People on smaller scale tend to get either a spooked or greedy mentallity though..they're either afraid to work in larger teams for fear of being excluded or ripped off.. OR they want ALL the money and credibility from it IF it worked. For that reason, people for thousands of years have missed out on one of the most simple sciences of how people and ideas work. What do you think SEO companies do?.. thats what they do pretty much, and sometimes they might even be a department FOR a larger corporation..but in their off time or their training of new peoples.. they might make money off the side by offering a SEO company ..with a different and ambiguous name. Everybody wants PR ..if they had a PR 10 ..their lives would change, their business ,service or website would be a success... that parts true. But for some reason, people walking into the forest and sayin = "who's gonna cut these trees down so we can walk through?" While the corporations that for over 2,000 years have passed the science along.. are just running in and out around the trees and making their way through. Corporations aint successful because they're the big fancy word 'corporation' ..its only because they're doing that math, science..whatever you want to call it ..but that's why.

    Some might try to spin by saying = "its because they offer better this or thats!"
    but think about it.. look back at 'crazes' ..beanie babies, cabbage patch dolls etc what the heck did those things really do?! lol

    and most peoples are aware that at ANY point in time, theres always a better product or service out there somewhere in the world .. but nobody hears about it, nobody knows it exists. The science has proven that many peoples working towards the same goal with the right minded perception and comprehension of what they're doing, can even sell rubber dog poop if they want to. But the SAME science dictates, that if the peoples aint somehow aligned to the same goal .. then it will fall apart as some become panicky, some become greedy, some want to take all credibility, some want to take the idea and start it 'bigger' with them and their friend .. etc

    It's the one thing in 'success' that corporations have been able to balance that many havent.
    Successful 'business' ? ...no, they have successfully completed an old mechanism. a science basically.

    but anyway, the corporation is out there right now with a few hundred thousand peoples that are going through and over and around and under the Internet scouting it, generating offense and defense.

    You were asking me about if you should re-word your articles. :)
    I think it would help if you dont want to be penalized for same content.

    what's your site about?
    wouldnt it be great if people would find others to work on the ideas like all that? ... then you wouldnt have to reword articles.
    check this out when you're done rewording your articles www.prleggos.com
    its the idea of IF people could actually do all that.. we're tryin to get it to fly :D WOOHOO

    Thanks for suggestion, but I think there is no problem in doing article submission. I will not post the same article on both blog and article directory. Let me know if you have any comment on the decision. Thanks,

    yes it is, your post will hold more value than the other place where you posted the article because the publishing date on your site is prior to the others and google looks at the publishing date for orginiality

    publishing date?.. that would be too easy to hack wouldnt it though?

    find all files and news releases on everything.. make a copy for a website, change the file created and publishing dates on the copy to be prior to the other, and you suddenly authored all the content on the Internet, as far as the search spiders are concerned?

    They probably do look for it ..but theres gotta be other stuff as well.

    there's nothin wrong with article submissions ..its just that its a tiny thing.
    Do I get coupons for big keyword rich posts? :D j/k

    You can submit a summary of the article to article directories with a back link to the original article.

    Or

    You could publish the article on your blog

    Wait till Google indexes the article.

    Then submit to the article directory and not worry about having duplicate content.

    No. Not only will you be dealing with duplicate content issues, you'll also be wasting your time. If you're going to submit an article, write a summary of the article, toss in a link to the original, and then submit THAT instead.

    But you'll still be wasting your time if you do that though.
