article submissions

[Randy5]

When you submit articles to websites in order to increase your number of backlinks, can you submit the same articles to multiple sites, or are you supposed to send each article only once?

Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.

Submit the same article to multiple sites is not good for SEO, you`re supposed to send each unique article only once.
