Bulk article submission and SEO

[saikatblogger]

I have an article with me nicely drafted for the end users.

I have a list of directories that publishes articles.
List of Blog Directories / Article Directories for promotion

My question is: if I submit the SAME article in all those directories, will it be considered negatively by the Search Engines? Will I get any benefit from SEO perspective? Or I must write 100 unique articles for 100 different directories to get some points back?

Though the same article published at 100 places may bring some good visitors to my site, but I am concerned about the SE factor. Please suggest.

It will be duplicate content and virtually disregarded by Google basically making it a waste of time.

If the article is any good why not put it on your site? You'll get more links, and better links, that way. And if the article isn't any good then the sites that reposted it wouldn't get any links to it thus making any links from it worthless. Basically, there's no point in publishing an article on a large number of sites. Either make it good and put it on your site or don't bother at all.

I think it is very difficult to write 100 article for 100 article submission sites. Maximum how many times I can submit 1 particular article.

Why not try this... write a large article that can be split into ONE big Article and a Teaser about the article... submit the teaser to the 100 article directories and put the big one (high quality) on the site your trying to send traffic to?

seems to work well

Yes. I agree with Ne0. This is the best way to get your article linked and without having it as duplicate. This will eliminate your article being supplemented by Google.
