Posting Content To Blog AND Elsewhere (Medium, LinkedIn etc): Duplicate Content Risk
- SEO |
Hey Y'all,
I was recently reading this Article on Copyhackers about the medium.com publishing platform.
In the article, the author (Joanna Wiebe) recommends writing a post on your blog, re-posting it to medium, and promoting it there. She says this will lead to a trickle of organic traffic to your blog that wouldn't be possible elsewhere.
The thing I'm wondering is, doesn't this put you at risk for a duplicate content penalty from Google?
As I understand it, in Google's current ranking algorithm, you lose points for having the same content posted in two places. One of my clients, for example, is sensitive to this issue, and that's why she has me re-write the same exact article in different words when she publishes it to her blog and on LinkedIn Pulse.
So, SEO geniuses of WF: what do you think?
Are you at a duplicate content risk by republishing your blog to a platform like Medium or LinkedIn pulse?
