Hi aimaxorg,
It is legal to use duplicate content, however search engines hate duplicate content. All the sites that content is being used should link back to the original source. If it were me however, I wouldn't use the same content across multiple websites, I would create unique content for each.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi,
I suggest you use unique content for each of your websites and link back that way. Also have you checked the trust ratio score of each of your websites? It doesn't matter how many backlinks you have, it depends on the quality of them. If you are linking from a domain that has a poor trust ratio score, you will more than likely cause a negative effect on the site you are linking to rather than a positive effect.
Poor backlinks could lead to an algorithm penalty which Google will not notify you of.
If you produce quality content and seed it socially, you should start generating positive backlinks.
Thanks,
Michelle

That's not going to work. Post the blog on your own site and nowhere else. If you publish the same thing more than once Google may well ignore all the links.
Michelle, that's not good advice. The OP is guest blogging - something Google is clamping down on.

Google is clamping down on poor guest blogging, or guest blogging that is obviously written just for links. There are lots of other reasons to consider this route, but for the right reasons - for promotion and to build referral traffic, and not just to add to someone's link profile.
"I’m not trying to throw the baby out with the bath water. There are still many good reasons to do some guest blogging (exposure, branding, increased reach, community, etc.). Those reasons existed way before Google and they’ll continue into the future. And there are absolutely some fantastic, high-quality guest bloggers out there. I’m talking about guest blogging for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes." Matt Cutts

I'd say you're pretty much wasting your time trying to get quality backlinks from article sites. Unless you're writing for Huffington Post or About.com, you'd be better posting your articles on your own blog or site. Sites like ezine etc really aren't going to change the world for you.

If your blog post is unique and a great source of information people will link to it, If that great piece of resource is on someone else's site someone else will reap the benefits, as Fisicx says post on your own site it can lead to many links if its good and resourceful
As for duplication is that what news is, many sites will have duplicate posts especially where a story or news is involved so pasting to many site is not all a bad thing just do not make a habit out of it and do not do it just for links as that at some point will back fire on you

Can you? Well... yes!
Should you? Usually... NO!
The days of mass produced content OR good content syndicated to multiple blogs being effective are pretty much over.
Content should be produced for the reader, not for search engines - If you're trying to get quality links, you'll likely find that you will be much better quality links by producing very high content for YOUR site and sharing it socially (providing you're active and engage with other industry bods on social channels that is!) than if you syndicate that content out to multiple blogs - ESPECIALLY if you're syndicating to blogs that actively allow content that's shared on multiple other sites!
There are always a few exceptions to the rule, but on the whole, I think the above holds true.
Of course if you're wanting to submit a guest post (without Matt Cutts 'sticking a fork in it' - mattcutts (dot) com/blog/guest-blogging/) then you should be targeting blogs that are VERY relevant to your audience, writing blogs that engage and pull traffic and not doing it for links.
I do still guest post despite what Matt Cutts say's, however the sites I publish on are of such quality that I'd publish on them whether Google existed or not - and the articles are not 'splog posts', rather articles I'm happy to put my name to and am proud of (they drive comments for the blogs and traffic for my site).
So in sort...
No. Don't publish the same blog post on multiple blogs!
Also, don't try to 'spin' or 're-write' the content to get around this rule! Or at least, if you DO, then don't complain a bit further down the line if big G catches you and spanks your ass!

If the intent is to influence the link count toward ranking, i agree, fully, 100%.
If the intent is to spread the word about a "nice content", it should be allowed but , alas ,Google forbid it because it's considered "spammy".
Of course if the content is really really really "nice", the best way to avoid penalties is that the backlink must be "rel=nofollow"-ed.
Of course most people read "blog content" and automatically think about a post regarding car insurance or mortgages. Something boring and/or made for adsense
But what if i make a funny comic strip ?
I could definitely publish it on reddit, imgur, 9gag.
What if i make a funky soundtrack?
I could publish it on soundcloud, youtube, vimeo.
So my final answer is "depend on the quality of the content".

What? wasting time? How come?
Why are you promoting them?
I have my own list of reputable sites that i write for yeah, already know that
What are you saying? "change the world for you" What is that? That's not my point in using these reputable submission sites

That's incorrect. They don't throw them away, they just ignore them. Ranking will only drop a
Because Google is working to clear the index of links originating from article sites. Google is quite happy for you to post your articles wherever you want, what it's not happy about is you doing this to do link building.

Are you the sole author of those sites ?
Because if there are more authors, they may used spinned text on several website and google may end penalizing the whole domain, like PRnewswire and similar websites.

I think this is what the guys mean - check ezinearticles.com traffic movements for the last 2 years (you may need to adjust the date on the chart)
semrush(dot)com/info/ezinearticles.com?db=us (sorry, I can't post links OR images yet! Check that link tho, replacing (dot) with . - You'll see what I mean!)
^^^ If someone with enough posts can take a screenie of that traffic nose dive and post it below, that'd illustrate what folks here are saying nicely
It takes a FAST nosedive!
If the article sites you submit to allow mass submission (or articles that have been submitted en-mass to other sites) it's likely they'll see similar traffic drops, if they haven't already.
I'm not promoting 'social engineering' exactly, but not far off! It's surprising what can happen when you make friends in the right places Gotta be genuine tho.

- If you're doing this to build links for rankings - I wouldn't bother
- If you're doing this for traffic AND that traffic is converting for you (either bottom of funnel OR top of funnel WITH some movement of leads towards conversion) I'd understand more, however I'd still worry about the future as if that site loses it's rankings and traffic, or gets spanked by the Panda AND if a lot fo your backlink profile is from such sites, you're going to risk seeing negative effects (EITHER as a penalty OR just as a loss of backlinks - lower weight of backlinks).

I Think You can do. But need some changes in content like keyword which you want to target your website and the Detailed words which you want to show the users should need to be changed. This may help you to improve some quality of content.
But, According to me you have faced some problem when you want to post these content on High PR websites. This may banned you if they find the duplicate content. i hope this may help you to publish content.

If you're doing it just to get backlinks, then it's a waste of time. Google don't mind guest blogging, however the links you create from them won't carry much (if any) weight. There are however benefits to strategic guest blogging. But using original content is highly recommended as duplicate content is a big blip on Google's spam radar.

Duplicate content refers to the content which appears on the same site, such as having 100 pages with only slightly different content or words. What you are talking about is article syndication, not duplicate content. When you get your article syndicated to other sites, they simply republish what you already have published on your own site.
So, the answer is yes to your publishing articles on various sites. The issue is that none of those other sites will rank very highly for that content. And, that's just fine as you don't really want other sites ranking highly for your content.
However, you might want traffic from those pages. The key is to make sure anything you offer for syndication is published on your site first, so you will always rank higher for that content than another site.

Nobody has pointed out that an article can be spun. Meaning that the same article can be written with the same meaning but using different words. It is like having a Thesaurus and substituting certain words or phrases but meaning the same thing. Then doing a test on your article to see how unique it is. I won't mention programs to do that as it's easy to look them up but they are used all of the time. Therefore 1 article can be spun 200 times if necessary.

And the point of this is what?
Recent Google changes were designed to detect this sort of activity, meaning anyone who builds links this way is wasting their time and could get penalised. If you aren't doing it to build links then there is no need to spin the article.
Why do you keep resurecting threads that have run their course?
