Writing unique content in the form of articles will always give backlinks from the authority article directory sites.

I m agree with you. If you want to indexed/promote inner links of website then taking links from authority article directory sites is Best option.

[ToolInventor]

Make sure that the content that you submit to article directories differs from yours. Big article directories are trusted sites, that is why if you publish article on your site and publish the same article on article directory - then it will get indexed on this directory site sooner and the article on your site will be a duplicate content for Google.

Submitting your articles in HTML supported sites having good page rank will definetly provide good value and traffics to your sites.

[AbhishekSingh]

And
Submite your articles in those articles sites which frequenly being cached
e.g
ezinearticles.com
articlealley.com
goarticles.com

ezinearticles.com will always help in giving good results in article writings as well as rankings also.

keep on writing and submissions.

Google discounts for duplicate content these days. Much better of setting up your own article script or blog. Having unique content is a great way to improve your rankings, adding internal links, or you could say bulking up your site (especially if you optimize those articles as landing pages).

Do you have evidence to prove that google discount for duplicate contents?

[AbhishekSingh]

I also agree with weblaunchphxx. I never found where google give discount on duplicate contents matter. I feel Duplicate content is a nasty penalty.

what does it mean by duplicate content? does it mean having your article published from other websites also? or not having your own original content?

what does it mean by duplicate content? does it mean having your article published from other websites also? or not having your own original content?

duplicate content:
A great deal of the Web is duplicate or near-duplicate content. Documents may be served in different formats: HTML, PDF, Text for different audiences. Documents may get mirrored to avoid delays or to provide fault tolerance. Content is syndicated and re-branded for different audiences and markets. Some websites aggregate or incorporate content from other sources on the Web. Press releases are often duplicated by many media outlets. Businesses wishing to protect their trademarks often register different versions of their name which all point to the same content but look like different websites from the point of view of a search engine.

Finally there is a problem of plagiarism and copying from public domain sources, such as Wikipedia, the Open Directly Project and Project Gutenberg. This is often done to create large, content rich sites to manipulate search engine rankings and generate revenue based on content targeted advertising.

When users submit queries to search engines they do not want the results pages stuffed with many duplicate or near duplicate pages. Indexing and filtering near duplicate content also puts a load on search engines in terms of storage and computational resources. Algorithms already exist for efficiently classifying duplicate content. For example a Hash function can generate a numeric fingerprint representing a page's content. Pages with identical fingerprints can be dropped from search results and excluded by robots when they next index pages.

Near duplicate pages are more complicated. Both Altavista (now owned by Yahoo! - patents: 5,970,497 and 6,138,113) and Google have been awarded US patents (6,615,209 and 6,658,423) that improve on existing methods for classifying duplicate content. The secret is to make comparisons quickly without doing some kind of word-by-word matching. One of Altavista's patents looks for similarities in the outbound links on a page. Google's patents focus on generating hashes or fingerprints for parts rather than the whole page. Now to you and me neither of these ideas would seem to be that novel and probably took less than a wet Sunday afternoon in Menlo Park to conceive but you have to remember that the US patent office also gave a patent for how to use a garden swing (US Patent No. 6,368,227). The patent land-grab is more to have some bargaining chips with other companies, many would stand up about as well as a beach condo in a Florida Hurricane if tested in court. However they do have the effect of discouraging new entrants to the market.

Google's patents are capable of identifying duplicate content that is a subset of another document. The inventors suggest that the most relevant document is returned in the results pages. This could be the most recent (although to my mind most recent would imply a copy) or the document with the highest PageRank. Probably the biggest target in Google's sights at the moment are the many duplicates of public domain content such as Wikipedia. Some webmasters have found their original pages have been dropped in favor of mirrors so the system is not without flaws. The system should also foil domain spammers who register many different domain names under different keywords all pointing to the same website.

thanks weblaunchphxx. that's a brief explanation and more understandable. ;)

A helpful link from the Google Webmaster HelpCenter regarding duplicate content.

As the term suggests, your page has similar content with other web pages.

There are various schools of thought when it come to article marketing.

1. That believe that you should submit your articles on article directories to gain more links.
2. That think that if this article is on your website then it may fall as duplicate content sooner or later.

So the point is what to do. The middle path is to ensure that the submission has a link back to the article on your website. This kind of solves the purpose.

[watsonr]

great! got it!

Just out of the blues, articles can be used in different way:

1. For link popularity
2. Proving that you are the boss on the topic
3. Creating sales for your services

So i guess once can have different strategies for each point above.

Articles submissions are mainly for generating traffics.

After reading through this thread I am still a little confused over the effectiveness of Article Marketing.

I have submitted some articles to Ezinearticles and it seems that the websites that reprint the articles are very poor quality e.g. low/no PageRank, many supplemental pages, full of duplicate content, scraper sites etc. The links from the sites that reprint the articles appear to be worth very little.

It appears to me that the only worthwhile links that you will get from Article Marketing are from the article directories themselves e.g. Ezinearticles.

Is this the case? :confused:

Is this the case? :confused:

An article can't give you long profit and yes, it can be a good generator of traffic for some period but article should have some new thing or about recent issues. Then, only peoples likes to read it.

[webmidas]

for an article to generate decent traffic, it should be written or better say crafted very intelligently.
But, the sad thing is that articles nowadays lack quality and content.
i am pretty sure 90% people write articles just to get a link back to their site.
