 * Hello there,
    If I submit my posts to many article directories will it create
   a duplicate content problem or it is OK to first publish article on the blog 
   and then to submit it to article directories? Thanks, Vad

 * It will only post once but be listed under each category that you tag.

 * shadow, you recently closed a thread i ‘duplicated’ ..
    i actually renamed the
   thread, added only the most pertinent information form the prior thread and changed
   the ‘room’ from templates to ‘help & how -to’ as i felt this was more appropriate
   and i had received NO replies in the the other.
 * if you need to do that then i’d really apreciate your looking at the question
   as well, and offering some advice. or is it just a stupid question?
 * thanks for your time and interest.

 * vad111 – Good question.
 * shadow – Your answer does not match the question.
 * The question is not about posting in multiple categories within one blog, the
   question is:
 * Can we publish an article on a blog and then submit it to article directories–
   or will search engines call that duplicate content and thus ignore all/some of
   the copies?
 * And: If the search engine does keep one of the duplicate items in its database,
   will it keep the original one or the most recent one or is this unknown?
 * (Also: Would the original blog get ‘penalized’? How?)
 * Anybody?
    Thanks.

 * [@imagiscapeca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imagiscapeca/),
 * and I don’t see why this whole thread is posted here in the WP technical support
   when it has nothing to do with WordPress. Ask it in a forum maintaned by those
   who would ‘penalize’ you or your blog.

   There is confusion regarding this question. Sorry if it is a wrong place to place
