The first target of an article is to find interested readers, and that is the reason, because we have 1000's of websites offering these good readings.

It is desirable for a writer to have his/her article in as many places for the better exposure.

Google knows this, and I can't see any kind of duplication trouble in this case.

At the very minimun I would say do this. Create 4 versions of your article.

1. One goes on your blog and is then pinged and sent to as many social directories as you can.

2. One goes to Aritcle Marketer which is then mass submitted for you.

3. One goes to EzineArticles.com

4. One goes to Associated Content. If you live in the U.S. they will pay you up to $20 per article.

Check out Content Composer as a way to create several versions of one article.

If you have time create several versions and come up with your own Top 10 ways to use them including the above 4 and a few more top article directories, social directories, etc.

Looks interesting. Can you get a link from AssociatedContent.com to your own site? It looks as though you have to sign up to find out all the rules.

You could link to your site if it was a supporting website for an article. You do not list a resource box on these, but a link to your profile is on each article and in it you can reference a link to up to 3 of your websites.

You can join as a content producer for free. Google seems to love them and I have written an article around a keyword phrase and been on page one in less than 48 hours.

You have to be 18 and live in the U.S. to get paid as they are not approved to pay via PayPal on international payments.

My son is 16 and I pay him to write for me. He can earn $300 a monthy or so part time and is developing into a good writer which I view as an invaluable skill for his future.

The dublicate content issue is a bit difficult: on the other hand it is hoped that as many people as possible will copy and paste your article into their own pages, but if they do this, it`s a dublicate content and you will get a penalty from Google. Huh!

But because we don`t know what happens to the article, I normally write one version for a wide distribution ( to get visitors and links, but not high ranking) and a new version for each of the article directories ( to get visitors and high search engine ranking).

This system has worked nicely.

So the version for wide distribution is NOT for article directories?
I saw some people had astonishing success with article submission software, so your articles will be only in a few directories, right?

My wide distribution articles are distributed to over 1.000 websites and directories. Because it`s one version for all directories, it is "dublicated content". This is the reason why my target is to get links ( to increase my homepage`s ranking) and visitors, but I don`t wait that the article will get high search engine ranking.

On the top of this I write new versions for high page rank directories to get high ranking for the article and a good traffic.

I just found a genius solution to it, by Tellman Knudsen!

It's not either or, it is doing BOTH!
Create 3 versions of an article.
1 for your website.
1 for a high traffic article directory.
1 that can be submitted to lots of directories!

Read yourself: http://ezinearticles.com/?Getting-Traffic-to-Your-Squeeze-Page--Part-3,-Articles-and-What-Happens-Next?&id=531966


It's funny but I do a combination of this whereby sometimes I only submit an original article to a respected site. Sometimes to all with a diff. version for my blog. I think the goal is to mix it up. Ans see what pulls the best results.

I haven't been hit for duplicate content yet so far as I can tell.

There are really many different opinions on the article submission topic. Should we really mass submit? SOme marketers are even submitting to ezinearticles alone.

For me, it is still a good idea to submit to a list of the best article directories instead of ezinearticles alone, for the sake of getting backlinks from high PR sites.

Here's a list of the what might be the best article directories ranked by Page Rank and Alexa:

How about an answer that's one of those "it depends..." non-answer answers Confused .

I believe the best approach is to "mix it up."

1. It's the most "natural."

Example: 10,000 identical article pages appearing overnight is not "natural" and just screams automated bots.

Example: It is "natural" for good content to spread across the web, appearing in slightly different contexts, over a period of time. By "contexts" I mean things like format, introductions, other things on a page, things that are unique to the web site that the article now appears on.

Note: Most good webmasters find a way to present even "duplicate" material in a customized way....

2. Submitting articles does not always serve the same purpose.

Example: If you are trying to establish keyword relevance for a page or a site, submitting one article to lots of article directories all over the place for the primary purpose of having a selection of author resource boxes with specific keyword anchor text in the links to the site can be an effective way of establishing what the site/page is about for the search engines. In that instance, visitor clickthroughs, indexing by search engines and all that is really secondary and might not really matter. In that case, having all the author resource box links coming in from ONE site wouldn't be "natural." Keyword relevance from inbound links comes from links from lots of different sites saying the same thing about the subject of your site.

Example: If your purpose in submitting an article is PRIMARILY visitor traffic then you probably want to submit your very best articles to only the very best one, two, or three article directories that actually attract lots of readers or publishers (again not necessarily the same thing!).

Anyways, I could go on and on....

Basically, the point is that it isn't an either/or --submit to just one or to many. Both accomplish something, but not necessarily the same things.

(I think I need another coffee... I'm starting to confuse myself Embarassed

I hope this is food for thought at least...

Wendy.
