hi there, can someone confirm if it’s a good idea to submit the same article to 100s of article sites/directories or is it better to write 2-3 unique ones and just submit it to 2-3 sites?
thanks,

Hi again livegirl1 (I bought my hoola!)
Its not the number of places you submit it to that’s the key…
The key is to be sure you have a link embedded (at least one) and mention the URL (in case someone strips the article), and first and foremost, whenever I write a press articel I put it un an un-reachable page. Then I add it to the top of my xml sitemap and manually submit it through Webmaster Central. Once I see Google has crawled it I link it through my site wherever I would have originally. This assures me that I will get the credit for it and not be pinged for duplicate content or take the risk that I get crawled or scraped by an bad people before Google sees its mine and give me credit for it.
