Article Submission question

[marcoose]

If I am to submit articles taken off of my site to article sites, will Google penalize me for having duplicate content?

I am just wondering whether it is in my best interest to take all my content and to add it to article submission sites, so as to receive a number of back links.

Would you say this is worthwhile if it is well written work?

Answer to Qn1. Google may not penalize you but the major Article Directories like Ezine will.
Answer to Qn2. There are thousands of other article directories you can submit these articles to, if its just backlinks you are looking for.

Answer to Qn3. It will be worthwhile if it only backlinks you are looking to build.

I'm just thinking from a general SEO perspective. I am looking to improve serps rather than generate direct traffic to the site.

Taking into account the pro (increased backlinks) and the con (content on my site will be duplicated) is this a worthwhile venture? OR should I just write original content and get that submitted (time costly)!

You should not post an article from your site to different article directories, rather write a unique article and submit it to different directories. You can just change the title and do a little changes to each one of the post and you wont have any problem.

write a new article with similar content and submit that article to the directories.

I suggest you do not add all your articles/content to article directories. Instead, write a new useful article and add it in your site. After google index that article in your site, then you can start to submit that article in top 15 or so directories.

I haven't tried this yet though i have asked myself the same question recently, so thanks for the answers here.
from what I have read about the topic it's best to change the text/story line a bit and not quote verbatim....at least for the major highly ranked article submission places. probably with the lesser ones it won't matter so much. but i read it's like with directory submissions, changing the anchor text a bit and also the description etc

Personally when I write a good post to my blog I make sure to submit the post in article form to the major article sites and have seen no adverse consequences within the serps or PR. Anyway here is what Google webmaster blog (official) says about DC: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogsp...-scrapers.html

The part that fits well with your question:
"In the second scenario, you might have the case of someone scraping your content to put it on a different site, often to try to monetize it. It's also common for many web proxies to index parts of sites which have been accessed through the proxy. When encountering such duplicate content on different sites, we look at various signals to determine which site is the original one, which usually works very well. This also means that you shouldn't be very concerned about seeing negative effects on your site's presence on Google if you notice someone scraping your content.

In cases when you are syndicating your content but also want to make sure your site is identified as the original source, it's useful to ask your syndication partners to include a link back to your original content. You can find some additional tips on dealing with syndicated content in a recent post by Vanessa Fox, Ranking as the original source for content you syndicate."

Anyway I hope this answered your question.

You do not penalised for duplicate content , but you do get rewarded for unique content. if you place content on article sites you are then having to compete with them for positioning of your keywords, and bear in mind these article sites are well established authority sites with lots of backlinks.

If it is purely for SEO purposes then I would suggest keeping your unique content just for your site then release a variation of this to article sites.

It is a good idea to insert only parts of your articles to the articles websites. Just as an example what people can find on your site. The link from the articles websites will be relevant then, but the content wont be duplicated.

Thanks guys for the information, I really appreciate i found this thread because now i know that google does not penalised me for duplicate content.

[joelchrist]

I think google will neve penelize you....

there are lots of free article directories ..you can post your article to improve ur back link...go ahead..

[MayaLocke]

Many people will use article spinning to slightly change the word order or content so that all articles distributed are unique.

[robertgallagher]

Google will not penalized for copy content in Article Submission sites you can submit your one Article in as much Article submission sites as you can it's not called spams.

[johnsunvalley]

yes, you will not be harmed by google for dup content.

[caryabhi]

I don't think you are doing the right thing. Try to put link in unique content.

[gensofts]

always use fresh content and submit on maximum of 10 site a article not more, one more thing first time submit in e-zine after that others site

[ericajoieake]

yeah you can do it, but you need to rephrase it first to avoid being penalized for duplicate content.

[alexisaaspi]

for me..

no.. thats ok... you can duplicate your articles but add some paragraph to your content to make some different to your content..
