Funny thing happened to me last night....
The general article I submitted actually brought in a prospect.
They simply read the article and clicked on the link to learn more specific information for my market, and just like that they picked up the phone and gave me a call.
So needless to say, right now I am a HUGE fan of non-area specific, general term articles which are used to bring vistors to my local site with it's area specific information.
But, I would say that the statement below is a fine line to walk...

1. You don't want to compete with yourself. (Nothing worse than seeing your article on another website out rank you on Google!)
2. Creating two original articles on the same topic with different focus also takes twice as long (at least for me it does...).
It leaves me wondering though...
Is the ROI by being considered knowledgeable in the field worth the effort?
If the article I distributed was bland or uninteresting, would I have received a phone call?
I would like to think that the better your content is across the board, the better off you will be long term...
