Like I said, I have articles published in ezine articles and google got all of them according to 'Google Webmaster Tool'. Now if I submit these same articles to other article directories would google count them as new backlinks or is there any worry about duplicate articles? I know many people submit same article to multiple directories So can you please share your points here.. Thanks
Well, no problem in submitting same article to other diectories but make sure to have same author resource box on all article directories wherever you submit your article.
backlinks are not the only thing you get form article submission, you get traffic from the article directories too. you can submit the same article to as many directories as you like. google may catch up on some and deindex some duplicate articles but you will still be left with some articles that will give you backlinks. it is hard to say how google will act upon such duplicate articles but it is certain that this will not hurt your link building or seo campaign
Yeh, but I am extra careful not to lose my current position for duplicate articles and I don't need traffic from articles. Thanks for your input.
