    I'm submiting article to article directories, I have several questions.

    Should I put article on my page first? to get indexed by google and than send to directories? or should I write unique articles for directories? Should I have several articles or is it okay to have one promotional and use it over several places?

    green rep. for any lead.

    I have learned that writing one article for your website, and then another for all your article directories works best.

    This is to avoid duplicate content on your specific site. That is what I do atleast.

    Yeah, I personally submit a newly written article to my blog first. This tends to be my first draft, and often includes things that article directories such as ezine articles frown upon (affiliate links, recommendations, etc.)

    To avoid duplicate content, I have a free rewriting service (but it requires a bit of manual work) to make hundreds of readable copies of the same article, and tehse i submit to the article directories.

    It is fine to submit the same article
    to several directories.

    You can then take that article
    and rewrite it and use it on your
    site.

    But you should not use the exact
    same article on your site if you have
    submitted it to article directories.

    Should I put article on my page first?
    yes it should be so people who click from those directory can read your article right away. and when you submit you need to put url anyway.

    to get indexed by google and than send to directories?
    dont really need to be indexed

    or should I write unique articles for directories?
    it's better to make a shorter version and send to directories and make a links in there to links it back to full article in your site or blog.

    Should I have several articles or is it okay to have one promotional and use it over several places?
    one promotional article can send to hundreds of dirs. but keep original in your site.

    there are many article submission services offering in DP Buy,Sell,Trade section. take your time to choose the best.

    Fresh content always drives traffic to your website. so in my opinion try to write unique articles frequently and submit it manually to Quality article directories. If your article is unique and useful, other peoples will put your article on there site with your back link.

    I'm sure you can find people to pay to
    do this manually. But it is just a 5-10
    minute process to do yourself.

    Someone said write an article and submit it to the directories, and then rewrite the article for your own site.

    That is backwards.

    You want the best article, the one that is most original, the one that is most content rich on your site. Content is King remember. Rewrite it after you have it on your site exactly how you want it.

    Then and only then, you should submit it to some article directories.

    Hope that helps,
    Travis

    I agree this is the best way to do it. I alwys put my original on my site and then rewrite if I want to submit it. You want people to use your site so you want fresh original information on your site.
