I have been building a list of good sites who want to publish articles I distribute – in return for a backlink in the bio. Some of these sites are PR 6,7,8 – so they will obviously rank higher. This is content I have had written specifically to syndicate and re-distribute, but I was wondering 2 things 1) Have the article link back to my homepage and not publish it on my site. 2) Have the article link back to a page on my site that I have already published it on. My worry here is i will be penalised for duplicate content. Thanks for any advice.
Mose people say you should not promote articles that are on you site. I am not sure why it is that way but have heard it is because it devalues you site content with search engines. I hope someone will post a more detailed explanation of this.
