Is this method is the so-called duplicated content in Google's eyes??

[johnyeo90]

I have a review blog and everytime I finished a blog post, i will copy exactly the same post and convert it into PDF format, then I submitted them to 4 different documment sharing sites! As i know Google have changed it ranking system and I would like to know, can I still use the same method or should not? Because I afraid it will affect my blog ranking.,
Any SEO expert please give me some advise for this..Thanks

In my opinion, you better publish your review article at your blog first. Then after few days, you could publish the pdf version at document sharing sites. In this way, google will know which sites has the original content in the first place. And just in case google sees it as a duplicate content, your blog will not be hurt.

It is a very good visitor experience to have
both a text and pdf version. And that's what you want. Plus
the text is readily indexed, while the pdf may or may not be.

But you do have to ask yourself why the need for a pdf version
for each and every post.

I would forget submitting the pdf and just concentrate on my
own unique blog, maybe offering a pdf of monthly posts directly
from my site.

My blog is hard to ranked high in search engine..the best rank was just on the 2nd page of the google..sometime even worst, no ranking at all for the particular keywords although according to Daniel Tan's Seo Pressor, I have 100% score for my on page optimization. So I tried to upload to documment sharing sites,and my PDF even ranked higher than my original blog post!
