Is submitting to many articles to a lot of directories going to be considered duplicate content. Will google frown upon it.
many articles doesn't mean its duplicated, you have to consider their uniqueness which is how different is it from each piece. Spun articles with enough uniqueness will not be flagged and acceptable by various article websites.
Just create your content. Screw Google. They are gonna do whatever it is they feel like doing anyway so you may as well create a site that PEOPLE want to be at and forget about bots and spiders. If your content is focused and people want to read it then search engines will cache it anyway. I once knew a guy that posted a bunch of nonsense garbled junk and still showed up on search engines all of the time. The point is to focus on an audience and find ways to get them there and want to come back. SEO is overrated. People get addicted to pleasing search engines and lose sight of what they are supposed to be about. Of course you have to configure things to work in search, and SEO is important. But there are other things you can do like create something worth reading in the first place.
not google but your own conscience may decide whether all your articles be good or not. writing too many on same topic i feel degrades quality towards the end.
Good point. The objective shouldn't be just to attract a lot a search engine attention through SEO (although of course that is important)but for the articles themselves to be good, unique content. People lose sight of that easily. At Content Crooner, we distribute articles that are submitted to us to a huge number of directories across the web - the biggest list out there. And we allow people to submit unlimited articles. So clearly submitting a lot of articles to a lot of directories isn't a problem. It actually builds up an unbelievable amount of backlinks. You just have to make sure you're not repeating the same article, but coming up with new, substantial ones.
hey content crooner... quite like the look and sound of your service. one question for you - do you have page rank info for each website on your distribution list? thanks
You dont have to worry about duplicate content when submitting to different article directories. The problem of duplicate content is apparent only when submit the same article twice with one article directory. Many webmasters are still uploading content from article directories, well knowing that these are duplicate.
Hey, Abu Dhabi! Thanks a lot for looking the Content Crooner site over! Always nice to hear our service sounds good! We actually don't rank each site on our distribution list individually. The way we see it, we already have the biggest distribution list out there, and there's really no reason to drop any articles from a particular site. There's zero harm in submitting to them all each time; it just means that people's articles get seen as much as possible. So instead of doing rankings on each site and picking out the less productive ones, we go ahead and submit to everything, and take whatever advantage each and every site has to give. That said, we do make sure to give our authors detailed reports on how their articles do; that way they know what to tweak in the future to improve their performance even more. Thanks for the question. Hope that helps!
