Got a quick question here because I am unsure. Kathy1952 brought up a good point. If you were to post an article on your own personal website, and then post that article again here
People tend to feel that since they "own" the content, as in the originator, they can post it anywhere they like. However, this is a big time SEO "no no" and it will be viewed as duplicate content by all search engines.
The "first to market" will get credit for the content, and the rest will appear as the websites that copied the content. Like others, I recommend you submit content to only one place and do not syndicate across many sites. There is no benefit, in fact, there are drawbacks.
As a rule of thumb, if you publish something once, you can never publish it again. So, you cannot publish something on your blog, and at WA as that is DEFINITELY duplicate content. Any time you click the "Publish" button, ask yourself if you've ever published the content before. If so, it's going to be duplicate.
Wow Carson where you ears burning I had just wrote I hoped you would come and then there you were.
Scary....lol
No question about it, don't do it. Syndicated content is allowed with exceptions for news sites and Press releases but will not help in regards to article sites and SEO. You must stand out and be an authority in your niche.
That makes a lot of sense David. News sites would no doubt have similar content as they quote what people say for instance.
The same thing happened to someone else that happened to kathy and one of the members put her blog thru a site to see if her content was duplicate and it came up that it was. Carson came on and said that you cannot even copy anything, not even a sentence, hopefully Carson or Kyle will come here to explain.
Write the main article for your site 500-1000 words then re-write a smaller version 350-500 for the directories. Make each one different but use the same keyword. I would only submit the smaller article to one directory then do a different one on a different keyword to another directory to link back to the main page. In theory you don't need that many linking back to rank if you are doing your keyword research well and going for low hanging fruit. Then do a social sharing session with FB Twitter Pinterest G+ and pingoat etc. Its more time consuming but it gives you great authority on your niche.
I think that is a very good strategy. Plus, having variety in the anchor text of your backlinks is good for SEO
Andrew,
I hope you get an answer to this question soon. I was going to ask the same question. What is best practice to submitting articles, on the web and on your site. A few years ago they told you to submit your articles everywhere for the backlinks. I know that doesn't work anymore, but I'm not sure exactly what does. I'll watch for the answers that you get on this. Thanks Bob
Exactly, a few years ago the big thing was to submit your article to as many directories as possible for the backlinks. Like you said though, that doesn't seem to work much anymore. Honestly, now I would rather write a nice article and submit it to only one article directory. I could be wrong but I bet that is just as good if not better than launching your article off to a thousand different directories with one of those fancy programs.
In the end, those links probably won't be recognized. Those programs are no good anyways I don't think.
Funny how strategies change over time huh?
Google won't "get you" but that is dup content as it appears on another website . unique content .. well that's self explanatory, and that's what Google notices & ranks. .
Yes Google does want unique content for sure. That is something they will continue to reward.
Here's a scenario though. I just thought of it. What would happen if a not so well known blog published a really nice piece of high quality information (on the home page) and then say a week or two later after Google had already ranked that particular post, a very well known blog with a lot of authority in Google's eyes copied that same article to their site (again, on the home page).
Would it outrank that original blog simply because the big blog has more authority?
Or would Google realize that the smaller blog published it first and therefore keep them ranked higher?
The post where the article was published first would show up in Google first - with teh copied content below, that's what Google want us to believe - but I have seen it altered in the past. (black hat)
