FAQ: If I submit the same article to many article directories, won’t it violate a search engine’s policy against duplicate content?

The simple answer: No, it won’t. Since we’re dealing with high ranking websites, the search engines would assume that the submitted content is their original work. This is the reason why a lot of article directories are pretty confident about the articles they display. The problem that they encounter, really, is with regards to the credibility of their services. They don’t want to be known as a repository of junk content, that’s why many have banned the posting of PLR articles as well as articles imbued with affiliate links.
