Well the answer to that question is both Yes/no. A while back it would have been a simple Yes, but these days with the way algorithms work, especially with Google, it now looks at titles, content and bio's for duplicate content. If it discovers any, only the initial one is usually listed, and if that happens to be a Pagerank of '1', then all your hard work is pretty useless to you.



Even worse is that since around February 2007 Google decided that sites less than Pagerank '4' are worth much less than they used to be, even with related content.

So what does this mean to those of us who publish articles, is it a waste of time? Well no, you see although Google is the No.1 search engine, we still have plenty of others that are not so strict with backlinking, and most folk seem to forget about them. Even so, you need to work harder these days to can have the most out of your articles.

So how do I do that I hear you ask? Well first of all most people these days use software to do the job for them, you can find plenty of reviews by searching for them, I will not go into any detail on any particular software in this article.

What you need in your software is firstly, it can log into the sites, publish your article, logout and move onto the next one. But that is not all you need these days, you usually need another piece of software that will rewrite the articles for you, not the rubbish that moves paragraphs around, or publishes keyword fodder, the pc's required is the ones that change synonyms so that the article still makes sense and flows the way you wrote it in the inaugural place.

If you then run off say 50-100 different copies, this is usually enough for submission.

The submission computers should allow you to include *.txt files with a list of titles on it relating to your article, and another *.txt files with a list of bio's. During submission the software should randomly pick an article, a title, and a bio, so every time it submits, you are getting a very good mixture. So various will get through the search engine checks.

It is also a good idea to search for your proposed titles on the internet in phrase form, if any come up, dump them. You only need 5-10 different titles and bio's.

If you run a number of websites, including different addresses in the bio will do you an even bigger favour, and give you a more random spread of bio's, try and keep the article related in various way to the sites you are pointing to though.

Alway use http//xxxxxxxx in the bio as well as href, with a keyword link, to make sure at least one link is live, as not all scripts work the same.

Never put the same article with changed synonyms on the same article submission website, it is usually picked up and denied, and you are not only wasting the time of the reviewer, but annoying them, and if it happens more than once they may cancel your account, and delete all your entries.

In order to ensure you receive as quite a few Backlinks as possible, you also need to write a few articles pointing to the same website(s), as Google is clever enough now to pick up 'near enough' duplicates, so some of your articles is usually dropped, although most other engines may list them.

And finally, when submitting your articles, do it with sites ranked 6-10 maiden, and then wait a week, so that they are indexed maiden. Then submit it to all the other article sites. This makes sure the originals indexed are on good Pagerank sites, and are maiden in the list if Google drops most of the others for being near duplicates.
