Can You Put Your Article on a Directory and Your Own Site?

Let me just kind of give you some insight into this. In theory, only one copy of your article is going to get ranked anywhere ever at any time. So if you put it on your own website and Google captures it first, assuming that they give you credit for it, assuming that you've got some page rank etc, assuming that their filters do a good job of giving you credit for it first, if you put it on EzineArticles, that page is probably not going to show up in normal search results anyway. It's probably going to be shuttled over to supplemental results and not going to show up in top 10 results anyway.

So if you're going to put it on your site, why put it on EzineArticles? Now if you put it on EzineArticles first, unless your site has a higher page rank than 6 or 5, depending on what page you're on in EzineArticles, there's no sense in putting it on yours.

My advice to people is write separate articles. If you need content for your site, write one article, and then when you submit articles, write separate articles.

I don't think there's any good reason to put an article on your site and on EzineArticles if you're looking for traffic and links and that type of thing from it.

Now if you've got a lot of articles on EzineArticles and you want them all indexed there and you want people to be able to see them there, then maybe there's a case to put some of those duplicates on your own site.

But I think that long-run the wisest strategy is if you put something on your site, don't submit it anywhere else. I think that pretty much answers that question.
