Hello All.... I was wondering if this is considered duplicate content: I have a shit ton of articles on my sites. I was wondering if i submit these articles to article marketing sites as they are, to lets say 10 article marketing sites, is that considered duplicate content? If i don't spin them and just post them as is, will i be penalized? I did this before a couple years ago and it was fine... i haven't had this much content to work with in a while and im not excited at the prospect of spinning 100 plus articles. So yah, basically, if i take an article from my site and post is as is across 10 article marketing sites... will this be considered duplicate content? Thanks in Advance!!
Yes, it is duplicate content. But duplicate content does not always mean penalty. In fact, Google may index one version and disregards the other ones. If google disregards the copies on the marketing sites, that is not a problem for you, excepted for the case where it finds your site is composed of too many duplicate contents. If it disregards the original article in your own site, you are loser. You are also loser if google does not disregard the copies but ranks better the copy of a marketing site.
Thanks for the insight... Does the fact that I will be linking back to the page the article was taken from and put on the account matter? So basically if all of the articles get indexed, I am in trouble. I am not too worried about the article marketing site beating my site, I'm just more concerned about wasting time and being penalized. I have been doing this for a while and this is a super noob question lol
Its a matter of opinion. My opinion is that the first site to get indexed with the material is the original owner of content in the search engines eyes, after all if I submit content off the web to my site am I going to degrade the site I took it from... probably not. I suspect that my site will take the penalty because it was indexed somewhere else first. So let it index on your page first and then it would be ok to spread it for backlinks.
Posting your article in a marketing site with a link back to your original text in your site is the right way to proceed. Then, Google may recognize your text is the original one. However, in those matters, google's attitude is rather unpredictable. There is the rule with so many exceptions. It should be so. However, google often tends to rank better the copy which has been posted in a site that has a higher "trust rank".
Hi, Firstly, I would like to mention that this would not be treated as duplicated contents and don't lead to SEO penalty. But, those identical articles would be treated as low value contents and some might not be indexed by search engines totally and thus have no help for SEO purpose. all the best,
It's duplicate content but don't worry about it. I've seen a site ranking number 1 for a highly competitive keyword and he made a lot of blogs that have the exact same thing. So don't listen to that duplicate content nonsense.
...and the reason you don't share this magic site that uses duplicate content to rank for a useful keyword is... because it doesn't exist. You people still crying that duplicate content is worth something make me laugh like a drain. You're like the bozos from 2 or 3 years back saying 'spinning is worthless'. Here's a way for you to think about it. A ten dollar bill is worth something, right? Go into the McDonalds where you work (on your free day), and buy a burger. Give them the ten dollar bill. No problem Now make a photocopy of the ten dollar bill. Walk back in and buy another burger. When they ask you to pay, give them the photocopy. Let us know what happens.
Lol, don't be so mean. I just submitted an article to Articlebase that was spun using Content Boss. It was accepted so It must have been good enough. However, there's a limit on the number of spins you get per month. You get 100 wrangles and 33 spinner syntax spins.
There's a lot of hype about dupe content... mostly, you just need to know that Google will discount all (or almost all) copies except the one it believes is the most relevant. And this is decided according to things like: links to the page/article (and from WHERE) age & authority of the domain other content on the domain etc
You should post them to article marketing with a do follow link to your post, so that Google know which is the original. This is often safe.
Thanks for the dialog. You have brought up a couple interesting angles which i had not thought of yet. So what do you guys think about a program like "article submitter platinum"?? Do any of you have experience using this? I notice that it has been around for a few years... I am thinking about buying this which is why I asked this question. I have submitted sooooooooo many articles manually over the years its ridicilous. For the top few sites I might still go manual, but I see this as a pretty legit way to get backlinks to the site... Thoughts? Thanks for all of your help again.
