Penalized for Articles on your site and authority sites?

[Splinter]

To keep the original thread on topic I created this new thread . . .

you're right that if your site goes to the supplemental index that that's not a penalty

that's a filter

i would NOT recommend posting the same article from your site to ezine or other major authority sites. Your site will end up losing in the end

This information is kind of contradicting what I have read elsewhere. I thought the aim was to get your site to be the 1st that has your articles indexed before you link build with them and submit to other sites....

What are others views on this matter? Also is it only the article page on your website where the PR is devalued however at the same time your home page where you're linking to is kept in tact with an ever increasing PR & SERP due to the links being built?

i have had sites that were scraped by authority sites..and my site dropped out of the index

it's VERY COMMON to see this with even press releases
Google doesn't allow all the press releases stay in the top 10 after a few weeks.
Usually only 1-2 stays there, and everything else goes in the supplemental index.

reason is that they are all broadcasting the same article

articles work the same way. Sometimes you'll see ideamarketers...other times you'll see Ezine..then articlebase or article dashboard....but you'll never see all of them on the front page for a long period of time

within time only 1-2 stays there, and it's not always Ezine

banker0679, are you referring to a scenario whereby you wait until your article on your website is indexed first, and then afterwards submit the same article to directories and google ends up dropping your website's article page by putting it in the supp index and hence giving preference to the article directory version of your article?

I would think google is smart enough to determine the originator of the content and it would never drop the originator. Maybe on the odd occasion but in general google would detect the source of that information by date/time it was indexed etc (and probably a millions other factors).

you would think that but everyone seems to think that Google is perfect

here are two articles from WELL KNOWN SEOs
