Where to place articles

[cppgenius]

I've used ezinearticles.com in the past, but haven't used it for a long time, I've only been publishing new articles on my blog alone, because I got fed up with article directories taking top spot in the SERP's when my blog is the source of the original content (and yes even if Google indexed the articles on by blog firtst).

Can someone recommend a free article directory that has a high PR.

ezinearticles.com, hubpages.com, ehow.com, wikihow.com and wired.com are the best known article directories. You can give it a try

perhaps I used the wrong term when I said syndication, what I meant was if you publish the article on a website where people may copy and republish it on their site, as long as they include the author box. This will be seen as duplicate content, so will Google penalise the site these duplicate articles links to?

In this case the Original source of information won't get penalized.

aruldave, so you would say it is still safe to publish articles on sites like ezinearticles.com

The reason I'm doing it is to get the backlink.

Getting your articles published on other people's websites is 100% FREE advertising

[cppgenius]

SaamyJackop, but the advertising is useless if it gets published on one of those made-for-duplicate-content-sites.

Yes Its safe to publishing articles like ezinearticles because sites like ezinearticles have the strict guidelines to be adhered for article submission. The guidelines and policies which are mainly created based on the major search engine guidelines.

Yes submitting same articles on different sites in bulk is wrong wrt google.So you should select top 5 article sites and submit article on that only and should also use the process of article spinning so that your article does not look duplicate..

... also use the process of article spinning so that your article does not look duplicate..

And churn out a bunch of gibberish junk increasing spam on the internet? Why not write original articles and if necessary, rewrite them yourself to a significant degree to suit each target site's context and guidelines?
