Is duplicate content bad for SEO?

I was told that search engines don't like duplicate content. I was submitting my blog articles to Ezine articles but was told that's a bad idea.

Is it a good idea to submit my posts to StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious and Squidoo.? Is that considered duplicate content and will it hurt my SEO?

  • Submitting blog posts to the aforementioned is fantastic!
    Use the blog plug-in from squidoo to auto update your
    posts on a squidoo lens.

    I think you answered your own question. If the duplicate content
    that you talk about was bad, then ezine would not exist.

    • I would keep the content on your site 100% original and of a high standard.

      Create a similar article to then syndicate through the directories to gain backlinks for your site.

  • Duplicate content refers to the same content on different pages of your site. This is a very long read but you will find a lot of it useful: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...eza-first.html

  • Make sure that Google indexes your blog article before you submit the article to a place like ezine. This ensures that they won't penalize your blog for duplicate content.
  • You can use bookmark sites to promote your blog, but do not submit every post, that will be spammy and tend to be punished.
  • duplicate content on the same site is not good.
  • i've read contradictory stuff about duplicate content.
  • Why would anyone want duplicate content on a site? Its just being lazy and in general down grading the quality of the site. There are no short cuts in SEO, build your site properly - without duplicate content for the sake of your engine ranking and quality of your site (both will effect the performance of your site!)
