Still confused about article marketing

[DLHMG]

Hi all.....Happy Monday

I have been under the impression that if I post an article to Isnare of just about any other article directory that I can only post that ONE article to that ONE directory. However, since there are article submitter programs available, I would have to assume one of three things.....

1. My original impression is correct and these programs will get me into trouble.....

2. The article has to be re-written for each directory and the submitter program is just an easy way to handle it......

or lastly.....

3. Article submitters are good tools and you can submit the same article to any number of directories without any kind of negative ramifications.

My hope is that it is number 3......and if it is....which article submitter program would be the best choice.

Thanks is advance for any advice and help

Best regards,
David

Hi David,

This topic I guess among all forums would have to be the most debated yet

yes you can submit one article to multiple directories with no issues of ramifications.

Lets put this a bit more practical.

If there were ramifications for submitting an article to say 100's or 1000's of directories (lets say there is a penalty or something like that SEO wise)

Then all it would need is for a competitor to submit an article to 1000's of directories for their competitors site to give them a penalty.

Doesnt make sense does it?

So no, there are no penalties. Though if you submit a unique article to the different article directories (lets say through a spinner software that you manually use) then more of them do stay in the search engines for longer.

Thus leading to more links to your site.

Marc,

correct me if I'm wrong.

It's my understanding like you mentioned you can submit to as many article directories as you like. However once Google indexed those articles it will then place x amount in the index and the rest in the supp index as it deems those articles to be duplicate content.

Here's my two cents for what it's worth:

Through my experience, I have submitted the same article to multiple directories with no penalty on my site/blog.

If you are submitting an article that you have posted on your site/blog first, then Google believes it to be an original. If you take that same article and submit it to article directories, if there is a penalty, you would have the original since google has seen your article first on your site/blog.

Before moving forward, here is my thought...

I would ensure that you're article get's indexed on your site/blog if you are using this article on your site/blog and then sending it to multiple directories so that the SERPs know it is originally from yours.

Moving on to the other debateable topic would be that it would not be considered dupe content, as spiders see the full html code that exist on different directories. That means, it sees meta tags, header tags and the template that is used in the layout along with many other unique assets that reside on each article directory.

Also, if SERPS deem it to be dupe content and dump that site into the supplemental index, but you still get the linkback from that site.

In other words, content may be considered dupe, but link is still good in most instances.

Now if you you are not posting the article first on your site/blog, then whether there is a penalty or not, it won't reflect on your site/blog, because your first post was on a site that isn't yours ( the article directory ).

In either way, you would get the link back.

But I do think the important issue here is that you change the plr articles that you receive from here so that the content will be considered unique and not duplicated content if other member(s) do the same thing.

Bjsmooths,

When you talk about publishing an article on your blog then on article directories why do you do this?
Yes, your post will get indexed and counted as the original content, but a higher trusted and ranked site such as ezines will probably outrank you in the SERPs - so people will click on that listing and most probably on their adsense units.

My opinion would be to change the article at least 50% so you are not compromising your posted article - plus it adds to your credibility and decreases your chance of getting sandboxed.

No offense guys, but I believe my original statement holds true.

Hey David,

Yes most do go to the supplemental index, except when using UAW as a service (unique article wizard) I do have a very very good discount for PLRPro members and I have been meaning to send out about it soon as I know Steve has had some exceptional results from the system.

I plan to send this out early next week.

nasph,

I totally agree with your statement.

I was just giving an example. I'm not saying that I would do this I was giving an example if people were doing this and submitting to article directories.

Well, that's the debate.

The duplicate content not only includes the content, but the code embedded with that content.

An article that you post on ezinearticles wouldn't necessarily be the same if that same article was posted on articlecity, because the two have different websites.

Where the problem can come in is if you, me and others submit the same unaltered articles to, let's say ezinearticles. One of them will probably be listed in the supplemental index.

Hello,
I have written about this in the past where I have said to write 2 articles and submit one to the directories and one on your site. Writing 2 articles would mean that they are different and agree with Nick.
