Does this problem still exist?

That would All be considered duplicate content. Do Not do that, please.

I agree with BIS, concentrate on content and blogs on your own site. Aeticles were for backlinking, not such the thing anymore....work on your own site. Get google authorship too

I will concentrate in writing more contents on your site instead of submitting it everywhere. Also, you can't submit same articles it's duplication and Google will punish your for that:)

Same subject-different articles is ok but you need to avoid duplication-bad for ranking!

Hi Mike

1. Do not post the same articles you have on your site to an article directory. Most don't allow it - but it also counts as duplicate content and therefore will only be indexed by Google once.
2. Do not post the same article to multiple directories.
3. There's not the same advantage to writing for article directories as there used to be. I would just stick with one. You're better off posting content on your site to drive traffic.

Hope this helps

Thanks Rich. That's why it's selling for $199 on Go Daddy!

I'm afraid from hideously bitter experience, practically useless. :( https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/rich/blog/i-name-the-names-shame-on-you The recommendation is .com then .org then .net. However, if you're concentrating on a purely local market, such as "emergency plumbers in London" then country specific domains can work well in conjunction with the relevant search engine, ie. co.uk ranks well with http://www.google.co.uk/ncr etc. :) Rich.

Like it. Absolutely. Just thought I'd ask, anyway there's another €67 saved! Many thanks.

I'm not a fan of anything that tries to create "optimised" content for search engines. I prefer to do everything I can to ensure my content *engages* my human visitors, as search engines don't seem to make that many purchases from my site! :) Rich.
