Do you think it is a good idea to submit your own blog posts to article directories with your backlink to that post to help you gain publicity? I figure the pros would be: Faster indexing? More backlinks More visitors The cons would be: Your article does not appear to be unique to the search engines? Even though they see that anywhere your article is published, there is a backlink to the source? How about submitting your blog posts to directories long after google has indexed them? Maybe you should submit some, but not all? I guess it would all depend on your marketing stradegy. If you are already a hugely popular blog, it might not do much. If you are just starting out, it might help get your site noticed. Any thoughts?
unless it is written as a 500 word blog post and like an article then no but if it can have a good headline and content then yes
obviously not ALL posts can be submitted to article directories. I agree with Erik with what he is saying, makes perfect sense
