My blog has grown relatively large with a multitude of popular posts over the past couple of months, and I am looking at how I can gain more traffic from these posts. An idea I had was to create a Blogger account with a brand new blog and post up these posts on to it. This would be a secondary page that Google can crawl to see some of my content, and then I would have a link back to the original article on the Blogger post. Will this help out with traffic or just look like spam to Google?
It'll look like duplicate content - because that's what it is - and most likely be filtered out of serps.
So if that's the case, why is it that people can post to Squidoo and HubPages with duplicate content and those rank very well?
I have had no problem with duplicate content as long as it is on a different site each time you submit it For those who want to have the same content on more than one blog you might want to consider reposting a few old post that are not assessable and new content on both blogs but arrange them in a different orders on each blog.
Yeah I am thinking of posting a few comments and then having a read more link to go to the real blog post, just to direct Blogger traffic over to my blog. More outbound links but on the blogspot.com domain so it'll be much higher PR backlinks and content.
