It have nothing to do with links but as a whole if you are going to create one piece of content and add that on several places what is going to happen as a whole? You are creating multiple new spots that contain same content.
Google crawls the web and when found 1 piece of content on several different locations the worth of content go down and link didn’t really help you… in some cases link harm your overall reputation.
It is always a best practice to add 1 article on one place only in order to maintain the value of the content. As far as the article directories in specific are concern I would personally recommend you not to spend too much time on this as it contain a very little link value and instead focus on Guest blogging that contain huge return on investment.

Buna (Hi) Cirpian,
You should definitely post it only and only once.
Uniqueness became very important nowadays.
But to make it easier for you I can suggest something else: you can write 10 different 'bullet points' for a topic (consistent paragraphs for each bullet point), a few different introductions and closings.
When you have this randomly chose one introduction, one closing and only 5 bullet points.
This should get you a few unique articles on a specific topic.

To clarify, can I write 4-5 articles and post them in hundreds of places each with a link back or is the duplicate content going to cancel out any benefit?
Should each article only be posted once or is there a sweet number of postings that are acceptable like 5-6?

Getting links on old blog posts
There's 100 of blogs with posts that link to my competitors, but don't link to my site.They are mostly lists. Eg: "The best Sites to get blue widgets" I was thinking about getting in touch with these blogs, and asking them to take a look at my site, to see if perhaps they would add it to the list. In fact, I started doing it and I got some links already. Now I am starting to worry that Google could consider these links as unnatural, because, you know, the algos are not exactly perfect. Anyway, the links are important for the exposure anyway. I've two questions: 1. Is there any chance I'll be penalized? 2. May I get a SEO benefit from this links?

Guest Blogging Question? How many links in an article?
I am being offered by a blog to have more than 5 links in an article that points directly to our money sites. The blog is in the same niche. This is the first time i am being offered more than 2-3 links in an article. Should i do it? How many links should be in an article so not to be penalized by Google? Does it look unnatural to have more links in an article that points to the same site but different pages? Thanks

Pursuing Links on Sites You Have a Link From
Is it a bad idea to spend resources to get a second link from a site that already links to you? It seems like the marginal value of each additional link is much smaller than the first link.

OSE shows links on sites but can't find links
Hi mozzers, I'm cleaning up our backlink profile and looking up anchortexts in OSE. I downloaded and selected one anchortext. However when I go to the sites OSE found, I can't find the links. I look in the source code and onpage keywords. Is it because of my lack of skills that I can't find the links 🙂 or isn't OSE working properly.

Links from Domain Portfolio Advertising Sites
I recently purchased a domain from a someone with a large portfolio and my site's link is still found on thousands of his one page/low quality sites. I find these links on Open Site Explorer but not in WT. Should I ask the portfolio owner to remove the link from his low quality domain advertising sites?
