Hello folks, Today I am planning to go few years back where we were sharing same PDFs and Docs on various platforms like issue.com slideshare etc. But after Google penguin update many of us have stopped such tactics. Should we use this techniques further? and, Is it harmful if we share same DOCs or PDFs (many platforms like slideshare grab content from PDFs) at on more than one platforms? So will Google consider as copied content? Kindly share your opinions.
Yes, if you use the same content at different doc sharing sites, then your content will be considered as a duplicate content. So don't try to do this type of activities. Try to publish your high quality, informative content at single site and share it on social media sites to generate quality traffic. High quality doc sharing and PDF sharing sites provide only no-follow links, so you can easily boost quality traffic via those websites.
Hello Eli, thanks for your valuable response. Actually I found many webmasters from reputed organization are practicing such tactics.
Yes of course if you use same ppt/pdf at different doc sharing site so the site will consider your doc as duplicate content so according to me dont try to do such kind of mistake. Hope this will help!!
