Is it so that it's ok to re-publish my articles on my website to various article directories without having any concerns of duplicate content?

Most often (in my experience) these do not stick to the agreement to leave links intact. But as long as you view any additional links gained from these reprints as a bonus to the main goal of getting links from the directories themselves, you won't be disappointed.

None of them convert or remove links to nofollow later on - I've never seen that happen. In addition, duplicate content is not an issue. I republish articles at EzineArticles all the time and it's never once affected my pagerank or google standings. I don't post the same day though - I use articles a month or two later and submit them to article directories. Google knows who is the original author of the content from the date the article was first published.

Many feel article marketing doesn't work but it really does (especially for link building). It's also a great way to cast a wider net and harvest more visitors and possibly get more subscribers. Like you said in your post, you have to make the article informative and read like you know what the hell you're talking about.

But if you think about it, when your article gets republished, that by definition is duplicate content too, so you may as well not bother with _any_ article directories if you're concerned about it, and if you do decide to jump in, you've got nothing to lose by submitting to several directories. Question: of the articles that've been republished elsewhere, how many have left the links intact and dofollow? In my experience they're usually converted to nofollow or removed completely. .-= KooGa rugby boots´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.koogarugbyboots.com/choosing-rugby-boots">Choosing rugby boots</a> =-.

Your not submitting articles worrying about whether the competition is going to see or not, you're building links. Ezine Articles requires you use your real name, so if you want to use their service, you play by their rules. Otherwise - just use other directories. They just don't nearly as much weight. #2: Very true, but the main purpose of article marketing is building links, it's not for the traffic from the published articles. @John #1: What?

In a bullet point about EZine's rules, you state "Your author name must be your actual name." Don't people recommend using various aliases to keep competitors guessing? 2. Regarding top article directories, you say to "stay away from any that are NF or that nofollow your links". An NF link is still a link, right? Maybe no link juice flows, but a NF when clicked will still go to the linked site, won't it? I'm still wrestlin' with this stuff... ;-) JT, ol’ buddy, your post(s) is/are very informative, but I now have a couple of questions.
