Alright, so you’ve had your timer set up so you know that you have spent the best part of an hour writing and making your carefully made piece of literary brilliance. So, the first step is to always submit your article, due to a number of simple reasons it makes a sensible first port of call.

For example, if you key “allen jesson” into Google, you will see, that at the time of writing, I am listed around 18,100 times (Results 1 – 10 of about 18,100 for “allen jesson”). So, 18.1K pages have a mention of yours truly. But what you will find very interesting is that the number 1 spot belongs to my author page on a certain article directory. That’s how much Google loves this article directory! They even outrank my own sites! So, I think I have made my case for submitting your article. For top seo services, it’s a sensible move. Google will more than likely pick up the article and your link that is shown in the author’s resource box is counted as a true back link to your own website. You will also get visitors direct from that link on the article web site and you will also get visitors and web traffic when your article is published on other people’s sites and blogs (you can see how many times that happens in the member’s area).

But what will happen about the all important back links? Will they get counted again when they are published on other people’s sites? Well the good news is that you will get more visitors and more exposure. The only disadvantage to this is that it is accepted wisdom that Google will see that secondary publication as ‘duplicate’ content and will only give proper and true value value to the link it first found from that article, namely the one published on the first article directory.

But there are things you can do. For example, there are other article directories out there. In my opinion, once you are trying to build counted back links, there is a little value in resubmitting the very same article to a number of the other article directories. Of course, you will get visitors from those people who see your article on those other article directories (and other sites that publish your article as a result being seen on those article directories) BUT you wont get any more back links counted. So what do you do?

There is actually a simple solution to this problem. Look, you’ve done the hard work, writing your original article. Then you have come up with a great idea, which is the basic theme for your article. So, now all you need to is to rearrange your thought patterns a little and rewrite your article and come up with another completely new article. Do not submit that rewritten article to the same place. SUBMIT it to another site. Then keep rewriting and submitting elsewhere. After about 6 rewrites, you have probably got a completely new article, with new ideas and themes, one which could then be resubmitted to your original directory, thereby starting the whole process again.

Of course, there are other and quicker ways around this problem and certainly those methods are part of what we teach, but if you use the above strategy you will start to see your back links in Google steadily climb and then everything else will follow, including those coveted number 1 spots on Google.

   This is the exact method I follow. I know from duplicate content nobody will be benefited. Otherwise I would have created 100 blogger blog creating backlinks to my blog.

   Thanks for sharing.
