Please, I only like to have answer from articles expert/s. -Can you get penalized in search engines for submitting the same articles to multiple article submmision websites?. -What should I do to claim the copyright of my article/s? Should I post it on my website first before submit it to those websites? Will search engines consider the article content as duplicated ?. Thanks heap in advance!.
January 13, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Sklep,
Put your articles on your own website first THEN on Ezine Articles(they’re the biggest and best). After they’ve been approved you can submit to other services. Only a few have sufficient technology to search the web and ID your article somewhere else. You won’t be penalized, they just won’t accept your articles as original. The secret is to get it on YOUR site, AND on the big players like ezine.com and goarticles.com
February 18, 2012 at 10:51 pm
