What makes sense to me is that the search engines will look at the number of times an article has been duplicated. If the article appears on two or three sites it is no big deal. What many article writers do is to keep all the good articles for their own sites for 100 unique content and write shorter and less good articles for the article sites. If you want to use pre-written articles on your site you must also have some original content, using only pre-written articles on your entire site is not always a good idea, it can help you to get going but you must add your own content as well.

I am not sure which of 1, or 2 above will have the best result in SEO. My other concern is that if the same article (that I wrote) is published on my site and published on a few publisher's sites, could my site be labelled as using duplicate content and penalised by search engines?

2) Write and publish it to sites like ezinearticles.com
