@Steve
I was actually going to write about this next week. It is not a good idea to post an exact duplicate.

Mainly because you can outrank yourself for those keywords, since many article sites, like Ezine will outrank sites. No matter how hard G tries to credit the original source, they often miss.

What I often do is rewrite it slightly, mainly with different targeted keywords in the density and title. This way you are all over the SERPS, make sense?

Also, while your site is new you are probably picking lower competition KW to rank quicker, but with articles you can go for higher competition KW’s since so many article sites have high authority and page rank.

I have a question about article marketing, JR. Are there cons to using a post from your blog to submit as an article to an article marketing directory, or is that accepted practice? Just wondering. Steve@Success Factorss last blog post..Do You Need More Power?

The main benefit of article writing is getting those keywords in the title. For me on a few sites I am ranked on page 1 or 2 of google in a day or two because of my title. This brings the traffic regardless of how good the content is.
As you say, people scan the article in a few seconds and click on your resource link.
The people who syndicate are similar. They want content and as long as the article is not complete $5#@ then there is no problem.

They have usual universal rules, no html or links in the body, two links in the resource, and what happens is that once you submit there is a human editor that will check your articles prior to submitting to the article sites, and that editor will let you know of any issues that may prevent your from getting published by the most sites and this gives you chance to make necessary changes, and also there is an auto scan for spelling, grammar and other errors.

The human edit is intended to make sure that your article is conforming to as many publishers as possible, and they even look at stuff like title, title case to make sure it is okay and will be accepted. It really is a great service and NOT automated software like article submitter
