Ok question: I have a site with some serious quality backlinks and all pages rank ok. I have a nice article describing a topic in my sites niche. Should I post this nice article in an article site like Ezine or on my own site? When I post it on Ezine they have the visitors and maybe I have some visitors via the links in that article. When I post it on my site I will have that visitor as long as my site is live. Your opinion?
Thanks! But what about the duplicate content issue? Who will have the duplicate copy and who will have the original? And if posting to both, what is the best way to do it? First to Ezine? And after how long to wait to post it on my site?
I would suggest write 100 articles, pick 10-20 and submit them to Ezine, keep the rest for your site. Visitors from Ezine may stick to your site for a while because you have more to offer.
submit evey other article you write to an article directory and keep the rest for your site or simply spin articles on your site and submit them to directories...
Break that article into 2-3 short (300-400 words) articles. Submit one of them to ezine and others to your site. Let the readers get something when they're directed to your site after reading ezine. Cheers!
You should use your articles in both ways. If you have a good article of 1,000 words or so, post it on your own site. Then write shorter articles (400 words or so) about a related topic and post the to article directories. Link to the main article on your site from your resource box.
hi there, this is an interesting thread to me as I have similar issues. Could anybody of you give an estimate to what extent duplicate content will affect my position in the SERPs. If I get a lot of traffic from posting duplicate content, might it outweigh the adverse affects caused by the Google penalty? How about feeds? If my feeds get published somewhere, will this be considered as duplicate content? I have got another related questions to the matter of duplicate content: If somebody is copying my unique content and publishing it at his site(s) -> do Google and other SEs recognize which one has been unique content and which one has copied it? I mean it would be kinda unfair if Google would penalize the originator of unique content just because somebody is copying the content. Does Google compare the date and time of publication between duplicate content published on different URLs? Could that date n time of publication be manipulated (e.g. in Blogs)? I appreciate your help!! Cheers, Bill
oh I forgot... if I submit my articles to Digg, StrumbleUpon or similar newssites or directories, will this be penalized by Google? Should I use abstracts of my articles in this case as you suggested, too? stay tuned, Bill
If you think you have the gift talent in the writing, then you shouldn't need to worry about the readers, as they will keep flocking back, if they do like your writing style...
I would only submit it to ezine articles first and then change the content in the article slightly before posting on your own site.
I agree with staffanm. SE's like organic content. Don't submit duplicate article...rewrite it and you should be fine.
