From my experience duplicate content will rarely rank well unless your site/blog has a lot of link juice and good organic rankings. Orginal content of course ranks best. I usually recommend posting as much original content as you post republished content. I do think article directories are worth while, but you can't expect them all to rank and/or bring in traffic.
I really do not think you read the post. This is concerning duplicate content and articles getting links and traffic. not on your own site. It is about distributing content to multiple directories. And i can get the articles to rank in a row one after another. All it needs is links to the pages. Of course, if other pages have better links and a similar title , the higher pr will win out. But this is directly related to the links into it.
I promise you that i can distribute an article to 50 directories and get the top 10 positions with 10 different directories if i want to take the time and effort to make them rank by building links.
So, the theory of duplicate content not ranking is not even close to valid. Like i stated before, they may get into supplemental results, but as Matt Cutts said, links gets you out of supp's.

Here are some links credited in google on a link command : link:http://www.idndirectsatellite.com - Google Search You will see the same article credited as a link on several sites(article directories). This is just one site. I can provide hundreds if you need to see them.

Hi Again Jim,
I have a couple of questions for you.
1. I am wondering why Hub, Squid, Blog, E-How does not show up when I google a link command for my site. My content on those sites shows up on G page 1 and 2 for lots of KW BUT not under the link command. Under that what shows up is article sites and sites that have used my articles.
Any ideas?
2. I am wondering if you could share the MASS ARTICLE SUBMISSION SITES you use, if any? I sit for hours doing one at a time, which I know is necessary for the top site like ezine, but as far as mass I only have used iSnare which works great for the backlinks, but are there any others you recommend? The manual submission is SO time consuming!
Google only shows a sample of the sites it has credited links to. They are pretty much random, so do not let this bother you. it is not important.
Articlemarketer.com is my distribution service of choice. They currently submit to over 5k directories. And as they bring new ones into their list, they submit your old articles to them also, so the list keeps growing. They also hit groups, like yahoo groups that are webmasters looking for content , there are over 66k webmasters that get your articles. this is the widest reach on the market.
They are also the cheapest. About 75 bucks every 3 months for unlimited submissions. If you can produce 2 or 20k a day, you can submit them at no additional fee.
They are hard to get used to because they are strict on their submission guidlines, but have the highest approval rates.
You can also buy a lifetime account for about 400 bucks. or a 1 year(with 1 year free) for about 200 bucks.
No doubt, they are far above the pack and they do a great job with ezinearticles.com. They do all of the major directories.

Thanks Jim,
Very helpful, I have heard of article marketer before, but was afraid to spend the $75 until I got at least a couple of people's opinions.
GOD I think the $75 is worth the time I spend now doing each one by one and barely making a dent. I think the time would be much better spent, writing than submitting, as well as the confusion that comes with tracking which directories you submitted to and which ones you didn't. I actually have a notebook where I mark down each article and then write in each submission....WHAT A PAIN!!
It's not talking about penalties or anything, just how G determines which was the original.

With the world of Web 2.0 and news syndication, it's obvious to everyone that, with a byline these pieces are not banned by any of the search engines. However, this is not stopping the practice of domain spam and, most of important, content duplicating on sites with keyword-registered domains.
I currently have the job of getting a real estate agent (corporate site) onto the first page of Google. But the top site has relatively few backlinks (just the domain will do!) and #2 has linked 6 duplicate sites together using domain spam.
People say, report them. But how? What address do I send this to?
If you believe that another site is abusing Google's quality guidelines, please report that site at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport. Google prefers developing scalable and automated solutions to problems, so we attempt to minimize hand-to-hand spam fighting. The spam reports we receive are used to create scalable algorithms that recognize and block future spam attempts.
Another question,
someone mentioned on another forum that it is not good to submit content pages from your sites as articles, content meaning how-tos, guides and tutorials that are part of the site.
I do it and have seen no problems with it. I change the titles a little around my main KW anchors but the content is pretty much unchanged.
