Is that considered as duplicate content... or it is a myth?
However, I agree that, If we have a duplicate content in our website, that will give negative action in the words of SEO......

do not submit one article to 10 article directories.that is wrong,google do not like duplicate content
It won't matter much how many you submit it to. Eventually, a whole host of fly-by-night article directories will pick it up and do with it as they please. Some will even leave your links in place.
guigui, how does Google penailize you for duplicate content when the content in question is on different sites? If they did that, wouldn't they consider the entire Internet as duplicate content? Afterall, it's all connected by a series of links, one to and from another ... otherwise we'd never be able to access it.

The best way to do it really is only submit one article to each of the article directories and hubs, you dont want the same content spreading all over.
BUT google is looking less and less at penalizing for dup content and the algo is getting smarter and detecting what was first, etc.
How does it accomplish that? Once a page is updated by the owner and then recrawled by the bots, and the SEs dump the cached pages, how do they keep track of who or what was first? All the "evidence" is gone.Quote:

Most of those sites are spam anyway.
I'd still maintain that a good strategy would be to have as much unique content floating around the net and then just see what sources pick up the content and how they use your placed link, other then that, you cant control much more than that.
Hmmmm ... Interesting. Let me rumenate for a while.Quote:

However always try to avoid submitting duplicate articles on multiple article submission directories. Most article directories such as ezinearticles don’t accept articles which are already published on other article websites. Try article spinning before submitting an article on multiple websites.
If you want the most accurate information on duplicate content read it for yourself from google. This should answer any of your questions

Same Articles submitting into different article directories are is a common thing. If you submit single articles in I don't think google will treat it as a duplicate content. The only thing is major article directories like ezinearticles or ********** will not give the approvel for that particular directories. Submitting into 10 different article directory and getting approvel is as equal as getting approvel from ezinearticles.com.
So see that if you are doing some thing dont look at the quantity just look at the quality of the output you will get from the work you do.
I like the best way would be to create re write versions of your original post and then submit it on other article directories. the main one must always be where you want it to be i.e. your first priority. But yes I agree, publishing a unique content every time is the best option.
It depends on the publisher. Some will request exclusivity. If not, there's no problem with it being published in more than one place.
i use to submit the article in the directory should be the best and dont worry about the duplicate content
I think it doesn't matter if you are submitting one article to a hundred directories as long as the article is not published in any blog or on your own website.
Sorry, but I cannot follow the logic of that. Can you explain?Quote:

Try to write unique content only, most of the people use to submit same article in 100 of article directories.. so not a big issue :)
The latest word is that Google does not penalise duplicate content. It tries to index the best copy (judged by its surrounding context or whatever) and not index the other copies. If you want to submit 100 copies of your article to 100 directories in the hope of 100 backlinks, you have to edit them about until every one of the 100 appears unique to Google.
If your content matches other content or it is obviously similar, such content should be avoided greatly. When you copy the content of other sites, it is referred to as duplicate content. When there are huge blocks of content on many URLs, it is duplicate content. Pease don’t post duplicate content.
Some duplicate content may cause pages to be filtered at the time of serving of results by search engines, and there is no guarantee as to which version of a page will show in results and which versions won’t. Duplicate content may also lead to some sites and some pages not being indexed by search engines at all, or may result in a search engine crawling program stopping the indexing all of the pages of a site because it finds too many copies of the same pages under different URLs.
Where do we find out more? What is your source, please?Quote:

Its not a bad thing to do several article submission and will not get penalized by Google if all those article points out to only one author.
Thats true. I've recently found that its better to just submit different content to each site. You get a backlink, change the title a little and you hit a different but similar set of keywords. Why would you have the same title then you are just targeting the same set of keywords?Quote:

This is true. But there is a misconception about duplicate content. People get it confused with syndicated content. I have posted the same content on numerous websites..titled differently or the same doesnt matter. And each post indexed..the same article was indexed in the top 10 three times..so goes to show its all about syndicated content.Quote:

At one time (have not checked in a long time) I had multiple copies of an article that appeared at #1, #2, #3 and several other spots in the top 40. The only difference between them was the domain on which they appeared.
Certainly the exact same article, with the exact same keywords, etc., appearing on 12 or 15 domains at the same time can be considered "duplicate content", but somehow the SEs didn't treat it as such. Even the plagiarised copies of my articles were listed right along with the legitimate ones.
If anybody ever figures out how they (SEs) accomplish that, please let me know. I see all sorts of advantage to be taken. :D (I suspect it has to do with the links in the article and that those links "come from" different domains.)
Personally, I have experienced the same thing..same article showing up in top 40 on different domains. But why not change the title and it will show up under different keywords? it works..trust me
EL,
I know what you mean, but I fail to see an advantage. What am I missing?
My guess is that Google is trying to stop that happening. Multiple copies of the same thing in serps is not what searchers want. (Notwithstanding that multiple copies of our stuff dominating serps is fine by you and me!)Quote:

I'll have to go back and check those articles and see if they still rank so well.
