Same article on many blogs?

I have seen many offers of adding your article to 100's of blogs but wont google for example, see this as duplicate content?

I have various articles about web design and development and search engine marketing etc but if the same article is on 100's of websites, they must be seen as duplicate content, so surely it wont do you any good

Appreciate any feedback on this

Thanks

Yes... You're correct. Your article with same link is not patronized by google for counting the number of links. Different article with same link in different blogs will work nicely...

 

Unless of course the blogs are smart enough to spin the content before re-posting. But who could even dream up such a system

 

I agree with you on that infact google could penalty on both blog and links ....... for spam!!

 

there are many ezine articles available it is all legal.

 

Yep, it's not a good idea.
I agree with kittyluver

 

Actually, you cant really avoid any duplication of blog content, but it depends on the blogger if he/she has a concise content about his/her blog than any other duplicated blogs. If the reader seas that your blog is more concise than other, then he would indefinitely leave a good comment to your blog.

 

Yep! it'll be seen as duplicate content and it won't be of much help.

 

Thanks for the feedback, good info, i guess these spinners, although only a slight change as i understand, seem to be enough to make the article a little different

 

I don't think this is currently even possible. Sure you could randomize the articles, but the result wouldnt make any sense. Some blog networks (such as mine) allow you to submit multiple articles or versions to multiple blogs.

To the original poster:

I would stay away from any blog networks that have more than lets say 200-300 blogs who do not offer some way for you to submit multiple versions of your articles. IMO, 100-200 repetitions of the same article would be ok, any more would be pushing it. Any more than that you increase the likelihood that google will adversely rank your site, or at minimum mark those sites as a farm.

 

Content is king google prefers unique content the more unique content you can provide
the better you will rank, google will devalue your duplicate content.

 

Search engines will only rank the most authorative site with the content. Others will be slapped to oblivion.

 

This is not true, I have several blogs where i replicate content from other more reputable sources. Every single article on these blogs is taken from somewhere else on the internet. Yes, some of the pages are not cached, but 95% of them are.

Here is an example of one of my 'splogs'. (not one of the 'blogs' i was referencing above)

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.playstation-mods.com&hl=en&safe=off&start=10&sa=N

 

offcource that will be penlaized as having duplicate content.

 

They have been indexed, yes, but searches for phrases from the articles bring up the most authorative sites. Yours are not to be found

 

But the idea isn't to have them appear as the most authoritative site, but rather just to get them indexed so that the backlinks on the article count for your site's SERP (which would be the authoritative site). Who cares if the article is found in a search, as long as my site gains SERP & PR from it, correct? Infact, it would be bad for business if the replicated article gets higher search results than the site it is trying to promote!

Note:

You can also see that these replicated articles are being found in searches from my webstats.
