Document Sharing Sites: Duplicate Content?

Hi folks,

I would like to ask the following doubt:

When you submit articles to document sharing sites such as scribd, slideshare.net and so on, do you submit the same article to both of them or do you use a different or spun article in every site?

Thanks in advance!
Steve

    If you submit the same content to an authority site, you stand a chance of your own web page getting buried in the SERPs.

    When it comes to duplicate pages, the page with the better SEO/authority wins in the SERPs. So keep in mind, each time you submit the content from your own live web page/s, your creating more competition (article directories, etc...).

      This is true if you send it all at the same time, what you need to do is to publish the content first on your website and then send it to other sites with a backlink to the original article.

      In this way you may outrank your original content due to freshness factor and higher domain authority of the other platform but eventually the backlink you have in the document poiting out to the original source will make you rank above your own content in other sites.

      And there is nothing as a duplicate content penalty.

        Sorry if I have to ask this but I am a bit confuse and I just want to clarify something. What do you mean to say that it "will make you rank above your own content in other sites?"

          Most of the members did not read asked question carefully and replied. Please read it again

          "When you submit articles to document sharing sites such as scribd, slideshare.net and so on, do you submit the same article to both of them or do you use a different or spun article in every site?"

          Generally we use same articles in different format means we submit article in doc format in scribd then in pdf format in slideshare.net etc.

          Spunning article will be the best way if you want to use same article in different websites.

    I was actually curious about this question and landed up back on the Warrior Forum. I was interested to know if content on your site, recreated and submitted to document sharing sites would count as duplicate content.

    Might try it on just 1 article to see what happens Unless someone better at SEO than myself can answer this! Thanks for any help.
