search results page

thanks for the help 96754 I have submitted to about 15 directories as well as D moz most of then were months ago and still haven't seen a thing. already have a Squidoo lens and have been working on a hub at hub pages, have submitted articles to at least 8 different places, the difficult things is the articles and all the re writing of them. I hear so much about how search engines consider duplicate content but is there a rule of thumb about how many times the same article can be sent. for example, check my backlinks everyday and see that one of my articles from ezine articles is also being used by a travel blog and i know that ezine articles does this but I am getting a backlink from both, so it makes me wonder can i sent the same article to maybe 5 or 6 places and get backlinks from all of them or is that too many places for the same article. I am guessing there is some kind of cut off point somewhere. also I don't know to much about RSS feeds yet I kind of just started reading about them, I do know my web editor has a tool to add it to my site but I don't have any of the articles I have published on my site, so I am not sure how to do an RSS feed from the article site to each other, I will have to do some more research. I am still confused with the whole SEO search results thing. yesterday when i asked my question my site was no where to be found unless i used a specific keyword string but later in the afternoon when i typed in italian travels I was in the middle of page 1 and thought to myself WOW but then again today no where. I normally use yahoo and they are a little goofy because I will type in italian travels and they say they have included italian travel with no s on the end and i see nothing, however if i click on the end of there little not see only italian travels there i am again on page 1. so I checked Google and if i type in italian travels I show up on page 3 if i type in italian travel and no S I don't see my site, what puzzles me the most about this is my site title has Italian travels in it as well as my url but my H1 tag has italian travels and italian vacation in it and on my home page I use italian travels 2 times Italian travel 7 and italian vacation 8 times, my keywords for my home page has all of them and only once so i just don't get it, when i use Traffic travis I get an A for SEO when using all 3 of my main keyword strings but I only get high search results for 1 of them and it is the one I don't use the most. Of course I would rather have the high rank for italian vacation over any of the others since I think that is what most people will look for, even at that I was on page 10 of yahoo and 12 on google before I fixed my mistakes and changed the banners. sometimes things are just difficult to figure out when things change like this.
