Duplicate content, article submissions

Finally checked duplicate content percentages between my pages. I checked every 2 page combination, and luckily every page was under 25% except for one pair, so I've got some writing to do. I also did some more article submissions. I probably submitted to over 150 sites. This is the first time I've done this (written free re-print articles) so it's still somewhat of an experiment. It will take some time before Google indexes these pages and, most importantly, finds my link.
The last thing I did was some more directory submissions. It's a pain in the ass, but since some links aren't even real (read "Bad Practices with Reciprocal Links"), I figure bulk is best when it comes to directory submits. One directory allowed me to choose 30 towns within MA, which generated 30 backlinks instantly. This was pretty cool. Hopefully Google will find the pages......
