Hello everyone,

I am strongly considering submitting some of my posts in my blog as articles at Ezine Articles. The only thing that is holding me back is I'm wondering if by doing this Google will penalize me for duplicate content. Does anyone know if Google will in fact penalize me for duplicate content by submitting my blog posts as articles to Ezine Articles or for that matter any other article site? Thanks in advance.

Chris H.

If the article that you are going to submit is already chached (indexed) by Google on your site then you will not get penalized.But to submit blog posts to ezine is not a good idea , many blogger will republish your post- It will hurt your credibility.

Thats what I think ---- You may disagree

Ezinearticles will not accept your blog post if it's same on your blog. you have to post unique articles for that.

it always better to not submit article same on ur blog. better write a new article and submit it.

as far duplicate content penalties..google will not penalize u but if you publish same article on several articles directories you will only get 1 backlink for this article and rest will go to google sandbox.

Don't do it. I really don't understand why people waste time submitting articles to websites. To Google that's probably the same as paid links and instead of buying them with money you just invested time.
Another thing to remember is that Ezinearticles will rank higher than any of your sites for the keywords in the article because the website is more popular. Why spend time building their site when you can make unique content for yours?

Nora, if they have more traffic than you and you get to put a link to your site in your article, why isn't that a good way to reach out to new contacts and build your own traffic? And if the link is in the article how would google even know who wrote the article?

Or are you just talking about article sites like ezinearticles?

Hi James,

Yeah, I was actually specifically asking about submitting to article sites like Ezine Articles. I thought that submitting articles to them would be a good way to increase traffic on my blog. Thanks James and everyone else for taking the time to reply to my post.

Despite the spite that ezine articles is for everyone, what you need is backlinks. You will get a nofollow backlink to your site if you post to ezine.

Honestly, I do not believe why people even prefer article submissions, for me it's much better posting at forums, free directories and social bookmarking websites...
If you really want to write articles, write them and post at your blog, than link from this blog to your website - it's much better from SEO point of view.

Submitting the same articles to article directories will not get you penalized by google.

If you post the same exact article on your own blog or website more than once will.

The best thing to do is submit your articles by hand to the best directories. There is actually only about 15-20 or so.....

KRH...There is no such thing as a "google sandbox"...this is a myth! I've done research on this.

Nora let me give u an example: Try googling "how to start a website". (without quotes) Go ahead do it now.

You will see my article about how to start a website listed in the first page about in 3rd place. There are 554,000,000 results (wow). When someone clicks on the ezinearticle link it takes them to my article and at the bottom I have my bio that directs them to my website.

I get alot of traffic to my IM website using this technique. This in my opinion is NOT wasting time!

Nobody search for a term within quotes so it won't get as much traffic as the regular sentence.
I have done research too and for competitive keywords there really appears to be a sandbox. I guess it all depends on what keyword is being targeted.

I said without quotes....There are over 554 million results.

People do google "how to start a website" (without the quotes).

There is NO google sandbox penalty period.

Nuff said.
