Could Use a Little Help!
Last Update: January 15, 2013
I am a bit confused about the concept of duplicate content. I know Google does not like it but say you posted something in a blog where there is limited access and you later find that you would like to share that info to a wider audience, say on a webpage?
How can you do this without it being seen as duplicate content. I can’t just cite and link to the original post because access is restricted there.
This concept has me stuck because I am not sure where to put content first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The question becomes does Google know the content exists. If it does then posting it elsewhere will create duplicate content.
If you could be a bit more specific about what you mean by limited access this would help us to determine if in fact this is considered duplicate content or not.
The best way to determine if Google knows about it is to copy a few key lines and place it in the Google search box. If it leads back to your content then Google has indexed it and it will be considered duplicate content.
If you would like to share it in your blog you can link to the content or copy and paste it into your blog with a reference to the original content at the end so that the attribution is given to the original content.
