Ahh, Google Panda, yes, that is my concern, having said that, the articles would be posted on external websites, so I would not own most of the distributed content, ex: blogger, wordpress and article directories, although some of the content will also be going to my own external blogs.
I have also been educated on the difference between duplicate and syndicated content on the warrior forum, the way it is put makes sense to me, (first post to a site you own, indexed then post to external sites), as with most website owners, it is hard to be seen above the noise, and although, my writing has improved, I still struggle to get traffic.
The only way to get any control with my ranking is marketing my own articles throughout the internet.
I do need my articles indexed on my external blogs, and then, on third party sites, syndication.
So, my time constraints remain, and carefully spun content, with added value in the form of addtional content, first posted to my own external blogs, then pointing back to me, by diversifying that way still seems the way forward, still, I have made no money so far, (I have been at this seriously for the past 8 months), so something has to give.
I would appreciate diversified views.
