I am submitting articles to ezinearticles, associated content and article base. I am considering submitting my articles to be submitted to multiple article sites as well. Here is my question. Since I am placing these same articles on my website, is this a problem with duplicate content? These are articles written by myself or my lovely wife, there is no issue with plagiarism, but I sure don't want to get nicked by google for having duplicate content when these articles show up on various places, including hopefully other blogs, websites... if I am lucky enough to have other webmasters republish. Any thoughts?

No this is not a problem. you can publish one article to different article directories.

No problem with multiple article submission. Choose the best article sites/directories and you can also limit the number of submissions coz some article directories are connected to one another - wherein your article will be automatically placed there )

just rephrase some of the lines...

I tend to disagree. The same content on different sites sounds like duplicate to me. And as far as im aware goole are yet to dissect which site the content is original for. So yes it wont be punished but you will not get the same benefits as completely original work.

As someone earlier said change a few lines when you submit it and makesure the one published on your site is an original.

Another way in article writing is to first publish the original article on your website and if people like reading it, they will later on add links to your website.

indeed! i really don't submit my articles to article submission sites coz i don't want to have dup content.. but i guess making your article crawl in your site before submitting it to article submission site is a good move and to protect that you are the first site posted that article...

If you use copyscape, you will definitelly see that duplicate considered to be not only applying a whole content, but the part of content too. It might be even a long phrase taken from the content. You have nothing to worry if you are an original source of information, only the rest (copies) might be considered as duplicates. Even those copies are not a big deal. The only thing might happen, those copy sites might not gain benifits with the ranking.

Have a great day,

Yup..I think you must be sure to place the articles on your site for the first hand, and consider to wait until SEs crawl them..before you can submit them to other sites..otherwise those articles would be noticed by SEs as duplicate

I think I'll stick to this one, because if google crawled those submission site where your article has been submitted and you put it to your own site, there is a big possibility that your article will be recognized as the duplicate one.

So you mean i need to wait for an hour or a day to submit the article to other article site?

Everytime i wrote an article for my site. I always submit my article to 10 to 15 article site in a day. Do you think Se will consider that as duplicate?

Submitting one article to different directories is okay, but make sure it's not published in your own website because that will affect your ranking. Better rewrite the article before submitting it. Google loves unique content.

I agree that placing same articles on different sites are not much Beneficial & also not fair for some search engines..So instead of Submitting same article you have to Submit Unique articles .

I think if the content is orginated from your own site that will work better.
