How to submit your articles to directories more effectively!

Article marketing has taken off in the past year, and article writing as a means of website marketing is as prevalent as ever. Performing a search on any search engine for "article directory" will bombard you with more than enough places to submit your article. But, does submitting your article to 100 article directories really effective? Not really. When search engines index pages on the internet, they are able to distinguish the same copy on two different sites, and they don't value it. In fact, they can actually penalize the sites that do this frequently. A great way to avoid this issue and more effectively submit your articles to directories is to change the article. Seems simple, doesn't it? If you were to sit down and rewrite an article that you have written by changing up the title a little bit, and the wording, you can produce an entirely different article that contains the same information. Now, instead of treating this as two different article, submit one version to just a few article directories, and a different version to another. This allows you to both gauge which article directory sites are the most effective, but also not overload the search engines with duplicate content leading to your site. By implementing this simple tactic you can see how to submit your articles more effectively.
