Will G00Gle Send a Predator Drone After Me If I Post the Same Article on 2 Different Web 2.0 Sites?

So I wrote the world's best recipe for a healthy pasta dish.

I need to add some content on my empty Hub Pages site, but I also kind of want it on Squidoo since it would probably be a good fit for an Amazon affiliate type deal.

I'd also include a link back to my 'money site' if I put it on both sites. Will I incur any type of penalty for this??

...or should I post it on my money site and then submit it to article directories and try for a syndication route? (IIRC articles for sindication should go on your primary site and not your 2.0 sites)


Guidance is most welcome.

    It's what I would recommend, personally. Oh, and Google won't send a Predator after you. They hired me to save money

    Google won't come after you, but Hubpages and Squidoo will probably lock your content.

    Not from Google, but Squidoo won't like it. Web 2.0 sites aren't like article directories.

    Article directories don't require previously unpublished content. Most Web 2.0 sites do, I think (but you need to check the terms of service in each case).

    This is what I do.

    I don't use any Web 2.0 sites any more, because (a) they don't give me anything that I cant get on my own elsewhere, (b) I don't like their terms of service, and (c) I'm certainly not publishing any of my work on anyone else's site until it's first been published and indexed on my own site.

    This thread may help (there are some links in it to posts dealing with Web 2.0 sites as well as article directories: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

    About Web 2.0 sites, a careful read of this one thread is really all you need, to see why they're so unsuitable: Squidoo/Blogger as primary website

    But if you want more, these posts/threads may also help ("Blogger", "HubPages" and "Squidoo" are all the same in this regard - they're all unsafe and owned by someone else who changes the rules frequently and interprets them idiosyncratically and inconsistently and is in control of "your" site, which you can never own) ...
