I’ve been advised to change up the “description” and “title” when submitting my site link to directories for the very reasons you are mentioning. This is good advice for everyone to just change up your articles a bit before submitting them. Use lots of good keywords for your site.

@Scooter – I wouldn’t use this to grab content for my own site, because I don’t believe it’ll be possible for the site to rank well. But you should still get the benefit of the multiplied backlinks, even if the pages don’t rank well.

It’s not bad if the content on your site is duplicate, as long as the first place it had appeared on the internet was on your site. Don’t worry about duplicate content as long as you have first content.

Agreed your points. But duplicating the content is good for traffic? The search engine may delete the site at anytime. But I must accept you as you might master the SEO.

Great info. I stumbled. People need to realize that the links you get from the article directories are not that powerful any more.

I think its ok to the main, quality directories. I have played with automation in this area and I believe the links will get discounted -You can submit to 5k of directories in one click!

When Matt Cutts (Google) was recently asked by a guy in a Q&A session how many backlinks were counted to his website, Mr Cutts looked at his screen and said 3. This was out of 1000+ showing in Yahoo Site Explorer.

Thanks for the info Rodney. I am just getting started with articles and was wondering about posting duplicate articles. Perfect timing.

Agreed, duplicate content for links is fine, duplicate content to rank is not a good idea.

That’s a question that always bugged me because I read about how you should change your article slightly for each submission, but it’s so much easier to just copy/paste.
