Hello,
I posted a similar question and got good response from this forum. I like to know in detailed so I post one more topic.
I learn from this forum that article submission is good for SEO in terms of getting traffic. However, if we keep submitting new articles to the same any specific article directory, is this still considered good? or we have to submit to different article directories?
1. Is this good to submit to the same article directoy over and over?
2. If we submit 1 old article that was written 1 year ago, is it still considered duplicate content?
3. If I have 3 websites, is it better to include 3 sites in the article author's box for links, or just 1 site with three links (different keywords) on it.
Thank you very much!
Have a nice day!

Is this good to submit to the same article directory over and over?
Its considered good to the users of the directory, as you are a regular contributor. It will not mark you down in google so contribute, but it is wise to spread your submissions to multiple directories (not all eggs in one basket).

If we submit 1 old article that was written 1 year ago, is it still considered duplicate content?
This depends on the directory if considered duplicate, will not effect SEO except an additional link in.

If I have 3 websites, is it better to include 3 sites in the article author's box for links?
All three for SEO, don't put too many links on users wont click as they may think you are spamming?

I do not submit to article directories, but your questions are about seo? I hope I have been of some assistance

I think article submission is good, but I have found better results using free online ad sites

1. Submit your articles to different directories.

2. It would be pointless to keep submitting the same article to the same directory. It will probably be removed after they saw it was a duplicate. And after a years time you should have devloped way more articles that you could submit.

3. It would be better to include up to 2-3 different websites within the author's resource box that way you get backlinks to all 2 or 3 of your websites.

I think submitting articles is good but not the same one over and over. If you can have one article written in 5 different ways it would look a lot better. I have seen a lot of different marketers spinning their articles in multiple versions (say like 20-30) and using them to posts on sites.

They use different version on places like hubpages, squidoo, blogger and other places tocreate a network of pages pointing to their site.

I have never found good results with articles - are we talking very niche stuff here or the general barely hidden advert /seo boost type?

**Dan484** · 01-27-2009, 08:11 PM

Best thing to do is to submit a new article to as many different directories as possible.
I would recommend not to submit the same article more than once to the same directory. This is the reason why article submission takes a lot of time and work.
Try to submit a new article 2-3 times a week to as many directories as possible.

I struggled with article writing results for a long time until I learnt a few hard lessons:

Articles can be used for many things including getting traffic or for search engine links. If you are clear about what you want from your articles stick to that purpose only. Choose the number of articles, length, tone, quality that match your purpose.

Like everything else in life, not all article directories are created equal. Study the market and find the best ones for your purpose and focus on them.

This is a job and needs to be taken seriously. Even in the narrowest niche, there is a lot of competition for the attention of users or of the SEs. You must plan a campaign that will last for a significant length of time and you need to submit consistently over time.

At the end of the day you are trying to beat the competition in your niche, so the answer to questions about how many, how long etc, is simply more than the other people.

Your calculation is then do you get a good return for your time, and that is why eventually most markets become dominated by those who work smart and have deep pockets.

i don't think this is good method to post same content on different webpages....

Thoughts???

**rwillie24** · 09-10-2009, 03:59 PM

It's not good to post the same content, i agree. Fresh content is the best way to go and it's good to be on all the main article submission sites!

**mrandrei** · 09-10-2009, 10:48 PM

It's okay to submit an article to multiple directories for as long as you own the copyright for it. Duplicate content is just a myth.

**forestmarie** · 09-15-2009, 12:02 PM

I agree with rwillie24! Content should be unique. In addition, your content can also go into waste, if you are just posting non sense. It should be creative and subtle!

**roshandark** · 09-17-2009, 05:48 AM

I completely agree with arvindsharma. Its really good to pick up 15 to 20 good article directories and keep posting in it.

I think that articles submissions are good. But you have to submit to different directories. By the way. I was offered an SEO submission package that includes articles directories and Press Releases. Even I have an idea... Can someone explain what's the difference or advantages (if any) between one and the other?

**AdwordsFan** · 09-22-2009, 02:33 AM

Hi All,

I think you have varied reasons to ask about articles and article submission.
Have you heard of the google slap? Google these days is penalizing for duplicate content
But no there is no need to bust your brain on how to lay an article page out that sounds like a winner without worrying about waht tadisaus2 has to say:
1. Is this good to submit to the same article directoy over and over?
2. If we submit 1 old article that was written 1 year ago, is it still considered duplicate content?
3. If I have 3 websites, is it better to include 3 sites in the article author's box for links, or just 1 site with three links (different keywords) on it.

Hereis one way you can get fresh content for your sites and blogs very quickly and I think it's a sure winner.

**Dave011** · 09-22-2009, 03:48 AM

I think its not good, you need to get list of article sites that is very popular to make sure of the success.

**scarcius121** · 09-22-2009, 09:41 PM

People really want to see new and unique information, sure. But what will really bring traffic to your site is if you start writing articles that people want to read. You have to make it your own and entertaining...

Other than that, when we submit articles, we used to use a submission program that would submit them to a bunch of different directories, but we're now looking for a different tool.
