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

Can I Post One blog on 2 different sites?

 

[fisicx]

Yes. But it's pointless unless you are just doing it to spread your knowledge. It's of no value if you are doing it to help your ranking.

Why do you want to publish in muliple locations?

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.

We should not post same content on different blog posting sites its against good guidelines.

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

 

[fisicx]

Agree with yout there. But that's not what the OP wants to do. They just want to syndicate the same article to build links - and that's what Google warns against.

As Matt says, do it to spread the word, don't do it for SEO.

 

[StevePoster]

Every content that will be post on different platforms must be unique (unique content on every reputable article submission sites) this will give you quality backlinks and it doesn't matter how many it is but the credibility of the content to share will do.

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.

 

[gibson]

I'd say not to use same content in different sites / blogs / different locations. Search engines throw away the duplicate content websites and in result, your ranking will drop away.

 

[Mystro]

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

 

[MikeStressed]

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".

 

[StevePoster]

I'd say you're pretty much wasting your time trying to get quality backlinks from article sites.

What? wasting time? How come?

Unless you're writing for Huffington Post or About.com

Why are you promoting them? I have my own list of reputable sites that i write for

you'd be better posting your articles on your own blog or site

yeah, already know that

Sites like ezine etc really aren't going to change the world for you.

What are you saying? "change the world for you" What is that?
That's not my point in using these reputable submission sites

 

[fisicx]

That's incorrect. They don't throw them away, they just ignore them. Ranking will only drop a

What? wasting time? How come?

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.

 

[yottacom]

That's not my point in using these reputable submission sites

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.

 

[MikeStressed]

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.

• 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).

Efforts would be much better served going towards really cool content on the site, building a list from the traffic that pulls and using social to engage with both customers and other industry bods - building relationships, IF DONE RIGHT, can lead to MUCH better links... Try to get friendly on social with a few known authors on big industry sites and good things can happen... Seriously 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.

 

[nada_book14]

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.

 

[MASSEY]

If you can add a bit to the content like a brief intro about it, alter the title and slug around you can get away with it.

 

[jackmatthew453]

Hi,
I am not an expert, but I think that you can post your blogs more than two times, but you can not do the same thing to the articles because It's against the Internet Marketing Strategies.

 

[callumj85]

I strongly advise you NOT to post duplicate content, unless the place you're posting the resource doesn't get indexed by the search engines.

 

[johnzakaria]

If you put the same content on more than one site, it will be duplicate content and you will not rank on google search engines.

 

[Festoon Lighting]

Google dislikes duplicate content, so take the time and write different content.

 

[Louis Porter]

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.

 

[JonnyMP]

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.

 

[Wowfish Design]

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.

 

[fisicx]

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?
