Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Hi
Although I am very new to this I can see one thing right from the start:
There does not exist an easy way to rank high on Google.
– It does come down to quality link building.
My question is regarding the word “quality”.
My plan is as follows:
If I were to post an article a day on 100+ article submission sites, would that help my website rank high on google?
or would the fact that
a) it is the same article being posted multiple times and
b) only a small subset of the article submission sites I plan to use are niched for my market
make this work pointless? or to some degree less useful?
is the rate: 1/day too much? or could I potentially produce more?
Thanks for reading through all that, I would greatly appreciate feedback on this,
Kind regards,
