Reposting article at different places

My understanding about duplicate content is the same content within your own website. For instance copying a blog post twice as a way to have it crawled twice. I don't think any content outside of your own website would be considered duplicate content.

Actually duplicate content on the website and in other places affects seo

Your forums posts wont be duplicate content against your website unless you have the same tutorial on your website as well and since you do have them on yoursite it can effect the seo I think



However..what you propose to do is spammy..if you putbit on the forum and its on your website as well, people will not like that and if they see the same content on multiple forums it looks bad on you

Also its spammy if people feel you are sales pitching them
Also its spammy if all you put is an article

The best way for forum marketing is add value and become part of the community with normal conversation, then add your website in your signature

Yes, it can. In a good way.

As long as it starts on your website and gets indexed there before being published anywhere else, of course, in accordance with all the principles of content marketing. You need to accumulate the initial indexations for your own site.

When that happens, Google accredits your website (being the original source) as being the "site from which" content has been syndicated. Naturally enough, that adds authority to your site - both in reality and in their algorithm's view, as well.

Don't imagine for a moment that "content duplicated across the web" (on different sites) has anything to do with "duplicate content" at all, in this context: that's one of the biggest myths in internet marketing. Google (among other people) go to great lengths to try to clarify this, in every medium available for them to do so, but still many people misunderstand it.

"Duplicate content" and "syndicated content" are two different things. This post explains it very clearly.

Yes, very much so.

That's closely related to what content marketers/article marketers do, and it can bring us floods of SEO traffic. (Whether the search-engine traffic you get actually has any value to you, or not, is another matter altogether! This isn't the purpose of content syndication at all, of course - it's just a small side-"benefit").

Here's a one-post overview of "how it works", if it helps you. (I'm talking there about websites in general, rather than about forums specifically, but the principle's exactly the same. Some forums are better for SEO, though, and are indexed much more frequently just because they're such active sites, if that's relevant to you. It isn't, to me.)

In forums, if you just "post your stuff"/"start threads" rather than helpfully interacting and adding value, it's very easy effectively to be saying to the forum-owner and members: "I'm here primarily to promote myself and my links". Exactly what you might want to avoid, perhaps?

You can see for yourself, perhaps, even in this limited context, the way that when people do that here, the moderators often (understandably) delete their threads, either because they're related to people's signature-files (i.e. "clearly posted with promotional intent") or because they're "articles"? Forums are not article directories.

Forum marketing, I think it's fair to say, isn't what it was. The number of people trying to do it is expanding exponentially, and that makes it increasingly difficult. It also makes forum owners increasingly sensitive to "promotionally intended uses of their facilities", and makes them more likely to regard it as a form of "trespass", really.

The forum marketing I've done, in various niches, over the last 6 years, certainly hasn't become any easier to do. Some niches are better than others, for it. I think anything connected with "IM" itself, or "making money online" must be about the most difficult and least productive, overall, because those seem to be the areas in which the largest numbers of people are trying to do it (and trying in the worst possible ways, typically - which makes forums instinctively hostile to and resentful about it, exactly as you might imagine).

I don't doubt that adding value is a good approach (it always is, online, in all contexts, really), but there are different ways of doing that.

Starting conversations yourself, and "bumping your own threads", are good ways to "look suspicious", for the most part, I'd say. I think you're likely to be much more successful by adding value to other people's threads than by starting your own, in general ... and I'd certainly be careful to avoid "obviously bumping" threads you've started "to keep them on the front page": that's not usually going to go down well, in a forum (you certainly wouldn't last long in my forum, if we thought that was your game!).

(And I wouldn't dream of outsourcing this activity, needless to say.)

Ahh thanks, guess I was wrong!

But..I still think its spammy unless you first have a relationship in that forum. So just randonly posting your article is going to backfire somewhere

I wonder if google has an alogorythm to know if its tge same ip posting articles so in a sense it spots self syndacation

I think First you have to be a reputed members on those forums and yes may be you can post your article if you just spin it each time. (Just my opinion)

Pretty much everything Alexa has said, but yeah you definetly won't get a penalty anyway from doing that.

However I wouldn't advise you to post a straight article from your website on to forums. You can post very similar information that the article mentions, but it has to be in a more participatory and conversational in tone so that people would want to actually comment on it

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to do so, but it goes without saying that unique everywhere is better than unique somewhere. One thing that can be done is have your tutorial re-written by outsourcing. If you have say, a 500 word post, a simple $5 on Fiverr could have a professional writer re-word it for you so that it is unique. It isn't just effective for that however, sometimes the rewrite by the outsourcer is more effective than your own writing because everyone words things differently. I have had great success with this.

would be better to have to full tutorial on your site, and then breakdowns of the tutorials on forums with a link to the full tut at the end!

Not only can it be considered duplicate content but unless you are varying your link its duplicate anchor text as well.

Want to tank your rankings or not have a chance of getting decent rank in todays serps? Syndicate your content without varying the types of anchor text link you use. i.e. branded, partial match, raw.
