How True? Duplicate Content Works for Promoting Clickbank?

[wgn_white]

Hello, I have a doubt.

I know google hate duplicated content.

But, from my local forum, someone, a so called respectable guru in my country when it comes to clickbank said...

"Doesn't matter the duplicate content, submit the article to as many blogs, websites, and article directory you can."

And when we ask, will we be penalized for duplicated content and then the rank will be lowered?

He answers "You want to rank in google or you want sales?"

How true is his answer?
Or should I always stick to Google Webmaster Guidelines regarding duplicated content?

Hi, basicly you put the article on your website or blog first and then post that article at
other places. Hopefully that is what you are doing.

Duplicate content is bad when you have the same thing on your site, more than one page.

Think about it, You post to article directories and people have permission to get those articles and post them on their sites and blogs. The link in the article points back to your
site or blog, giving you a backlink.

The more backlinks, the higher your site or blog will rise in the search engines.

That is ok with Google to have the article out there more than once. Some of those pages will be indexed, some will not.

If you use the search function, type in duplicate content and you will get quite a bit of information on this.

Thank you Jeannie.

So the thing I should do is, post the original article in my blog first.
The redistribute the same article to other website, blogs or article directory.

This will make the blog where the article was first posted rank well in SERP.
But will not make the article or websites and blogs that "copy" the article in SERP.

This mean the guru's words is valid.

Submitting duplicate content is a waste of time.Make sure that all of your content is good and more information that can others appreciate and thankful for.

IF duplicate content penalties existed, then all the syndicated articles would never count for anything. The problem I have with posting the same article as what is on my site is for the user experience.

Remember it is all about traffic not Google. If people read an article, then click the link to my site only to find the same article, they will probably click away. I want them to stay on my site. However, you can write a fresh article and syndicate that to as many sites as you want with no penalty. Another option is to get a good Human controlled spinner, and spin your articles before syndicating. that way they don't find the exact same article.

Everything you do, consider the user experience. does it increase the value of their experience or take away from it?
Personally, I only get about 25% of my traffic through search engines anyway. most of my traffic comes through the syndicated content I have, and from others referring people to my site.

Thank you, would you share where you syndicating your article?

It is good to put a lot of original content on your own blog. (I use other means of backlinking more now, rather than to write and share so many articles). But I understand what you are doing to make more clickbank sales.

You can post the articles on your blog and other sites, or you can keep the original and rewrite your article somewhat, to go on the other sites, which might be best.

In addition, you may not want to target the same keyword in the article directories that you are trying to rank your blog for in your article, as usually the article directory will outrank you, which could be a problem or not. But it has sometimes been a conflict for me.

I set up a website promoting the Jamorama product. Every single word on the website was duplicate content (not ripped off), it was the content jamorama provided for affiliates. Within two weeks, I had a pagerank 2 with 200 visitors a day with no backlinks or bookmarking. I sold the site for $800. Funny old game

There is no duplicate content penalty .. This has been proven and also answered on this forum 1,000 times over. Submitting the same articles to article directories, blogs, and etc is called "Syndication".. This is 100% normal to submit the same articles and no you will not be punished by google in no way, shape, or form.

Some try to proclaim your so-called dup articles will get a lower ranking but this is 100% false. You can have 5 articles exactly the same on the front page of google for your keyword. This is normal and no google does not put them in a sub index as some claim.

I rank just fine with PLR articles and such. No problems at all. Just need backlinks.

[Grayth]

Ya, duplicate content only counts for content within your site not on others.

If the duplicate content issue really existed and you were my competition then I would simply submit all of your content all over the place just to boost mine and get you deindexed, but this doesn't happen, because duplicate content is a myth.

Thank you for your post, that was actually very helpful.

I wish Google would mail every webmaster in the world a postcard with a short message explaining their stance on duplicate content. Maybe then, this duplicate content myth would finally be laid to rest and we'd never have to hear about it anymore.

What exactly do you mean by 'not ripped off?' As in what he had for you guys to use, you put on the site?

I know that there's no penalty for duplicate content, but google definitely didn't like the sites I built where I scraped all of my content from ezinearticles. I actually set up a test just to see what would happen. The site I made with unique content floated around page 2 while the site with pure ezinearticles was way back on page 35. I'm just wondering if what you did was different from my experiment.

And James is correct about submitting the same article. The only thing I would recommend would be to wait until your article gets indexed in google before mass submitting it to directories. That way, it appeared on your site first.

I can agree with that .. But I do not wait just to have it indexed. I normally wait a few days because I first build about 500 or so backlinks to my articles before syndicating them to other sites.

I don't understand why you need to basicaly make copy paste the same thread that you start on another forum. Do you get paid for it or what?
