Ok guys im back again with another question.

Yesterday i purchased article submitter platinum. it autosubmits my articles to the article directories. now that is a cool feature. but nowhere on the site does it explains the duplicate content penalty. neither do any of the ASP review sites.

Now please correct me if im wrong but if i write an article then have ASP auto submit it to 210 sites wouldn't those articles all be considered dupe content..well except for maybe one or two right??

please help i am like dying to find an answer to this its really bugging me hehe thanks.

Yea I'd like to know the answer to this also.

Yeah it just seems weird to me that so many people own this but no one talks about the dupe content. I wonder if the links still count so the content doesnt matter???

I am not sure about it, but from what i know when u have dupe content only one of the sites which has the content will get the index.. Most probably the first to pop out i guess. The rest are omitted i think..

yeah king crab thats exactly what i was thinking it seems that a program that autosubmits the same article to multiple directories would be useless?? I wish someone else with some more information would post their thoughts??

As far as dupe content goes, I am hearing conflicting stories. I have two sites I trust for SEO advice - one says goo*g will discount dupe content - the other says goo*g doesn't care and all that counts is links. So who knows for sure?

I am just starting out in IM, but here's something I use. Jet*spinner web site - it is a free article spinner. Once you learn how to set up an article, it will spin article titles, body text, and author resource box - up to 999 times. Download the free zip file with all your articles and your ready to start submitting. Or you can write your articles in P*ower A*rticle Re*writer, copy and paste into JetS, makes things a little easier.

yeah that power article rewriter sounds like a good program...do you have a copy of it by any chance??

what article submitter are you using is that from ins*tantarticlesub*mitter.com?

IMHO the term "penalty" is a misnomer. The internet IS duplicate content. Just plug in the title of any article and you'll get multiple sites with exactly the same article. You may not rank as high in the SERPS with just duplicate content on your site but that's about it. Also, it's about backlinks with article submissions.

Don't expect Matt Cutt$ to offer up a 12 pack and a reach-around for posting dupe content but he's not going to penalize you either.

I hear the conflicting stories as well. I still think it's valuable because of the backlinks and traffic from within the directories though.

On a side note, how do you like the platinum edition? I have the gold and have been debating platinum for a minute now....

So bob to put this issue to rest for once and for all is it safe to say:

submitting my articles to multiple sites (mainly using the article submitter platinum software) is for the most part about getting backlinks. Its not about having those pages necessarily ranking high (although that would be an added benefit) the initial purpose is to generate much needed backlinks from multiple sources.

Its all about getting good targeted backlinks pointing to my site so the more articles i submit the more backlinks ill have granted they might get hit for dupe content

uh ohh now that brings up the whole supplement content or whatever its called.Will those links still count if google marks my articles are duplicates and puts them in the "supplemental content box"???

That's what I use it for...backlinks...good, bad or ugly ones. Obviously, submitting unique content to each article directory MAY increase the chance that the site will get more "credit" from the search engines, and a potential increase in pagerank for your article page. Then, that link back to your site now has more even more weight.

You have to weigh the pros and cons of the time it takes to create that unique content. Personally, I'd rather just take that time and distribute 100 more articles. I use article distribution as kind of a spray and pray mentality going for volume of backlinks rather than quality.

With that being said, there are ways to increase the quality of your backlinks. You could submit your article links on some of the bigger/better sites like ezine articles to social bookmarking sites. This will get you more traffic as well as a heavier weighted backlink.

With respect to the supplemental index, it's a fact of life. You may distribute to 1,000 sites and only get 100 backlinks b/c your article page ends up in the supp index or just not found at all. One thing I'm playing with to increase link saturation is downloading my backlinks from yahoo, which typically finds/indexes many more of my articles and backlinks, and dumping the URL's in the CSV file into a pinging tool. In a perferct world, pinging those sites will bring their existence into light for G00gle as well as yahoo...still testing
