Hello,

I know my link strategy needs to be diversified but I just want to concentrate on one arm of my linking with this post.

Will this work:

First I will post new unique content on my money site and let it site for a week or two until i am sure google has found it.

Then I will randomly post it on my private blog network (no spinning involved) with links back to the money site and the original article.

After another week i will post the article (again no spinning involved) on 15 - 20 random 2.0 sites pointing to the original site and some pointing to my private blog network.

Finally I will run the urls of the 2.0 sites via an automated bookmarking software.

will this work?

    I am no SEO expert but an issue that I see relates to duplicate content. I have heard that sites with duplicate content tend to be ignored by Google so the web 2.0 postings may not help that much. Also the blogs on your private blog network need to have diverse IP addresses.

      thank ypou for taking the time to input.

      my blog networks has 25 seperate c-class ip's. The duplicate content thing is interesting, I know google maintains there is no off site duplicate conent penalty but that doesnt mean they will count the links so that might be a grey area

      No, this is NOT duplicate content, it's Syndicated Content. Duplicate content is the same content published more than once on the same website or blog.

      Thousands of websites pick up and publish syndicated content from major sources; that's how all the news sites operate (to name just one example).

      Admittedly on a much smaller scale (in the scope of things), syndicating content to attract highly focused visitors to my own websites/blogs is exactly how I make a very comfortable living.

      I write material and publish it on my own sites, then send it out to my extensive and ever growing lists of syndicators. When they publish my content on their own websites, in their newsletters, etc., it produces floods of traffic back to me.

      And the icing on the cake - nowhere is Big G involved..

        Again ty for some excellent input, I always knew the differnce between duplicate content and syndicated content but could never express it as well as you did. However you didnt really comment as to whether you think the system will work, from the tone of your comment I am guessing yes?

          Sorry - my omission Yes, it will work as I have described.

          Having said that, I am not at all familiar with private blog networks, so what works for me, may not necessary do so for you.

              All you need to to is post all your content on your own site(s) first and be certain they have been indexed by Google before you post elsewhere. As I pointed out above, the "duplicate content" myth is just that - a myth. (Alexa Smith refers to it as the "Urban Myth of Internet Marketing .) Over the years it's been perpetuated by marketers of content spinners, whose vested interest is purely monetary.

        Hi Annie,

        I just added your rss feed. Thanks for explaining the difference between duplicate and sydicated content. Moreover, I especially like it that you don't depend on g for your income. Now how sweet is that.

          As Anne keeps patiently explaining, what's being asked about in this thread isn't duplicate content, anyway.

          It seems that - as ever - some people are hearing that, and others not.

          Some of these conversations turn into a slight case of "the problem just won't go away". It's a very deep-seated myth, and there are many people with an incentive to perpetuate it: Article Marketers – Lay the Duplicate Content Myth To Rest Once and For All - Internet Marketing and Publishing

          I make a living from article syndication, and use it to build my business. I haven't, myself, done this with a "private blog network". I do, however, know that over the last 3/4 weeks, since the latest Panda update (in March, as I remember?) Google has de-indexed at least a couple of private blog networks. Note, though, that that has nothing to do with "duplicate content": it's about leaving a telltale footprint of artificial backlinks designed to manipulate Google's algorithms.

          Note carefully the exact wording of Anne's post above (#4). Like her (and like many other article marketers here), I'm also getting my content syndicated to multiple relevant sites, in my niches, and thereby attracting floods of highly targeted traffic to my own sites/blogs. I don't myself own the sites to which the content is syndicated, and they typically contain large amounts of other content, too, so it can't appear to Google (or to anyone else) that I'm "creating artificial backlinks in order to boost my own SEO". And indeed, for me, it isn't about SEO at all. I'm doing it to attract targeted traffic.

          Article marketing isn't "a branch of SEO": it's a traffic generation system in its own right.

          The business model of article marketing is explained in this post, if it helps: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5035794

          You can, if you want to: there certainly won't be any "penalty" for it, but the reality is that there won't be any benefit either. Article directories are just not good enough, because their own backlinks are useless (they're non-context-relevant, PR-0 backlinks) and you certainly wouldn't want to be using them for their own traffic, for all the reasons explained in this post.

          An article directory is simply a stepping stone. Article marketers submit to an article directory as a way of getting from there to relevant sites whose traffic (and perhaps backlinks) we do want. Not for the directory's traffic and backlinks.

          "Ezine Articles" is the one to use, in my opinion, because when ezine publishers and webmasters want content in their niche (which many do, all the time) that's usually their first port of call. So it's the best place to make your articles available. And of course that's why article directories exist. All explained here: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

      Yup, in this new age of SEO using duplicate content is a good way to find yourself in trouble.

      Google is cracking down on dup content.

        Syndication happens on domains that you don't own. Even the artificial syndication that webmasters do happens on domains that they don't own - (article directories, contacting blog owners, etc). I guarantee that you won't murky the water up enough for it to be undetectable.

        If you want to utilize your own private network and make it at least a little bit complicated to detect, you have to use unique content across domains.
        From my personal perspective, I was NOT referring to a "private network".
        Over a number of years I have accumulated a substantial list of authority, niche focused blog and newsletter owners who are more than happy to publish my material (after I've first published on my own websites), and this most definitely is syndication.

        As I pointed out in my earlier post - I'm not interested in SEO, although it often occurs quite naturally when these highly relevant, authority websites publish my material. They are far more authoritative than Hubpages.

        I can only repeat - syndication is not duplicate content.

    Annie - Thanks so much for the excellent explanation of duplicate vs syndicated content. Much appreciated!

    I do not understand adding the article to extra blogs you also own, sounds like a waste of time. Adding it to article directories and web2.0 sites would be good only because the article gains juice from the main site. Your own websites with just duplicate content will offer little to no benefit.
