Hi warriors,

I have a question hopefully you can help me.

Can I post the SAME post in different forums?

If I posted one in the main forum, can I post it again in other sub-forums like self empowerment, copywriting etc?

Any duplicate content penalty?

Thanks in advance.

    Yes, find the most appropriate forum and post your thoughts or questions there.

        Essentially spamming all of the subforums isn't going to guarantee speed though. If anything, the person who would answer your question just might notice you posting the same thing in multiple forums and disregard you completely thinking you were a bot. I know if I saw the same thing posted multiple times the first thing I do is report those posts.

        Not a risk worth taking. As Bill said find the one best forum to place the question and place it there. No need to take up unnecessary space/resources.

        Hmmm,

        I have found the forum to be a fast moving one. I suspect that if you're not getting a fast enough response in one forum, you would experience the same in the others. It doesn't really matter though, as posting in multiple forums isn't recommended and is frowned upon.

        Perhaps you may want to work on a little patience and wean yourself from expecting instant gratification.

          You are right.

          I should definitely work on my patience.

          Thanks for your advice.

    Hmm, I read this wrong the first time.

    Why would you want to post the same
    thing in the main forum and in sub-forums?

    I don't know about a "duplicate content"
    penalty, but it would most certainly get
    you the "annoying" penalty!
